POLL - Who thinks we need Tevez to win the league?

[Mingchester Mingy]

I hope his first match back he scores a pair and kisses the shield and gives Bob a big hug !

I think as others have said that the other players will not be bothered by it. Most of them won't really care and will probably just welcome him back. Having said that it would be both wrong and damaging if any of the players were to take sides and I'm sure Vinnie won't allow it.

On the pitch you know what you get, 100% committed displays and plenty of goals.

Another question is if he is actually going to get fit enough, soon enough to play a part this season. Whenever he's changed clubs I seem to remember him taking a long time to get going. I know he hasn't changed clubs this time, but he's been gone for a long, and important, time.

There's no "He won't make any difference" option. If we had a high quality big guy coming back he might give us some extra options, but an unfit poor man's Aguero who doesn't even pass? No thanks. If he was fully fit and committed he might be worth having, but he's neither of those things, and as a team player he is, and always has been, shit.

His return is 100% pointless.

I DONT WANT HIM TO WEAR A CITY SHIRT AGAIN, and do we really need him, LOOK AT THE PREM TABLE AND THAT WILL TELL ANY1 THAT WE DONT NEED HIM.we have come this far without him and we are still at the top

Well unless Aguero bucks up soon, that makes Tevez somewhere on the level of Samaras.

Very harsh mate.

I have not posted on here for quite sometime but, quite obviously, this is a rather important issue at a rather important time of the season for us. I have read, with interest, all the posts from blues on here which range from those being relatively forgiving to those ready to invade pitches dismembering Tevez. I can see that the majority, however, have a great fear that whatever is decided this whole issue has resurfaced when we could most do without it. The issue is not one which impacts upon a select few in our beloved club. We all have a vested interest in this. It strikes at the very heart of our principles and beliefs and could have a profound impact upon, what could possibly be, the best season most of us have known.

In life change and disruption, more often than not, leads to difficulties and weakened performance. Having Tevez return now, after all that has been said and done will inevitably cause some sort of disruption. This will manifest itself in the team, management, media and with supporters. If I know City, and I do know City (40+ years of support) we are not great at engendering stability or managing disruption. This whole thing has the potential to blow up and wreck our season. For me we need to keep Tevez and his circus away from the squad, the club and the fans. We are top of the league, have one of our most influential players back in Yaya and need to trust in what has been built up since Tevez abandoned us. Like a first love who dumps you, slags you off, shags about and then asks to come back when she has had her fill of freedom you have to be strong, tell her to fuck off, try to get your own back and move on. The option of dismembering her naked corpse and sending body parts in the post to her parent's property in Hampshire can also not be ruled out.

Did the inspiration for your username come from the toxicology report on the death of Amy Winehouse?

Ha!! Funnily enough some of the pints I drank at the Beehive in Moss Side, back in the Maine Road days enabled me to hit some of the more throaty and gutteral notes of young Amy when my head was down the pan!!

[Mikhail Chigorin]

Just say he came back, played brilliantly and started scoring goals left right and centre (like he did the last two seasons) would we still want him out in the summer?

Very good point.

I'd still say yes (see below), but the Club would nicely benefit by getting a far bigger transfer fee.

On the question of the Poll, though, I voted 'No' because I can never forgive him. In my own mind, he's now become a poisonous cancer and, in his day to day comings and goings at the Club, I hope City create a veritable 'cordon sanitaire' around him, to keep his 'influence' away from the rest of the squad.

However, that's just my own thoughts.

[Mikhail Chigorin]

As an aside, the other day, whilst listening to Talkspite discussing the Tevez saga, they were praising City for the way we'd conducted ourselves in the whole affair.

Jason Cundy actually said that City were to be congratulated and had conducted themselves in an "exemplary manner" in this matter, at which point I nearly fell off my chair in disbelief.

If you can't rely on Talkspite to slag us off at any and every conceivable opportunity, the walls of Jericho must certainly be collapsing.

It was a massive surprise all round and certainly felt somewhat surreal. Hope things soon return to 'normal' with them.
