Tevez gone to Juve?

[Moonchesteri]

Gutted.

The club must realize if we lose Isco and sell Tevez in the same week it's a big blow to team and fans. God I hope they have something big lined up.

You mean like the week when we first signed Fenrnandinho and then Jesus Navas?
Point being the situation ain't as bad as you'd imagine, like OliverHardy pointed out with wiser words

[Benjay]

Not necessarily a blow to the team, its a blow to fans who make drastic assumptions without knowing facts that our fantastic owners and management don't have a clue what they are doing (not directed at you by the way, just a general comment)

Wise words. Trust the board

[bigblue]

Even a supposed "declining" telex was still our best striker last year and my runner up got city's pots (Pablo being #1).

Big loss but unavoidable.

Telex has been in decline for years (decades) ever since fax and email came on the scene.

[ruralblue]

After flogging Balo and now seemingly Tevez there is no way it will be concrete deal unless someone is signed coming in the other way.

It going to get messy on here in the next couple of days!

herb....

he is also kolarov's biggest fan

nuff said

As there are so few who don't mind me I can't be too picky can I?
Only joking. The truth is that I'm not an AK hater myself. Ok he's not always at the races but I think he's struggled in some of the systems that he's been played in and left back isn't perhaps his best position in every set-up but he does have a good left hoof on him, gets forward well and gives some good service (usually into an empty box - but that's not his fault). He might be bloody marvellous under the new gaffer. . if Pellegrini doesn't rate him then he'll be sold in this window for sure because he's well respected abroad. If he stays then I think he'll be better used and better loved.

Back on topic, I'm kinda glad that Carlos has gone, not because I didn't respect him but because he was getting past it, was only here for a further year, and his going will (I hope) be a catalyst for a hungry new striker coming in.

[Risby]

I can't think of a player who we haven't been linked with that would be available and be good enough to replace Tevez.

Any realistic suggestions on who could be approached?

[bigblue]

According to BBC "When the fee is combined with wages and bonuses due to Tevez in the final year of his contract, City could save £27m."

I was hoping for a little more for him but he was always gonna leave. Hopefully this is the kick up the arse to buy a new striker now, no question of should we buy a 4th but we definitely need a 3rd

Seems to be good business for both sides.

[Lee_R]

I would have been gutted.. but for the time he right royaly fucked us over.

[Yaya Toure is a LAD]

Tevez out

Lewandowski in

[PeterParker]

If we have agreed to or signed a dipper it might be Reina as back up for JH perhaps?

Seems plausible since the dippers just signed Mignolet. Would be a very good backup too.

Why the hell would we buy Reina? What is the purpose of this? Buying a backup gk for 15 mil? No way.

There is Suarez, i have no doubt, or Higuain?

Really.... no really.... wtf are you on about

[maxxi]

We get shafted..yet again.10 Million.

the two amigos are fucking idiots!

sad to see him go, always gives 100%

looks like we stuck with the donkey

[halnone]

again we let top talent go without immediate replacement, unless this means we signed Suarez or Cavani

[Saul Goodman]

Give Dzeko a chance in the new system with the new manager

[Benjay]

Roque is available on a free.

[Herb]

Really.... no really.... wtf are you on about

Oops sorry for giving a bit of heartfelt though blindingly obvious opinion (on a forum that pretty much exists on little other than low score opinion and senseless abuse) but glad it gave you the excuse to put your hilarious sarcasm to such good use as it was very impressive. I think I've learnt from it thanks.

The only idiot is you.

Look at the article above, the deal probably saved us 27 million. And many top clubs would easily take Dzeko off our hands if they had the chance. "the donkey" was also our leading scorer in the league last year

[Pretty Boy Lee]

To be honest, tevez is an amazing player but a ticking time bomb with 12 months to run. We have a new coach, who knows what could have happened? Thinking logically from a board and managerial perspective, they would be daft to turn it down and take a gamble. I think this was always going to happen, shame its not for a lot more money, but at least its not a year of hell and he leaves on a free. Therefore its 10 million in the bank and 200k a week saved. Plus its not AC bottlers who have bought him which is a bonus.

I'm a football fan tho, the second I start considering balance sheets, P and L or FFP when my fav player goes is the second I should start watching Arsenal.

No thank you.

Glad I could help and thanks for your expert analysis. The door is always open so if ypu feel unwanted you are free to leave.

So back on topic....

You think tevez is past it? REALLY?

[paulh]

Tevez is surely worth 13-15mil appreciate end of contract

I'd be delighted with Suarez great player and carried liverpool. Without him they could have been relegated
