I'm tired of Tevez being 'Tired'

[Crossie]

That same story has been recycled about 5 times in the last 4 months. It was a translation from an interview in Argentina.

Dont worry, he doesnt keep saying he is tired and wants to quit football, he just speculated that he cant see himself playing well into his 30's.

it's a fucking non-issue. Get over it. Have you seen his face when he scores? he's nowhere near retirement and he doesn't hate his time at City. He makes fuckfaces everytime he puts one in the back of the net. Check it out...

cheers

Haven't seen that.. where do you get this info from Doomy? are you really totally sure it is 100% correct?

IMO a club captain should never be caught in the press saying things like :

"I don't want to play any more. I'm tired of football but also tired of people who work in football," said Tevez. "I'm talking seriously. Football is only about money and I don't like it.

"So I don't want a young player to tell me, 'Why did you do that?' in the dressing room. I would punch [them], as I have won 13 titles in my career."

The above are just this weeks news quotes from the player and only serve to feed the gutter press more ammunition against us. Even today ive seen publications relating these quotes to yesterdays performance.

Its bollocks hes talking about retiring at all, most players retire in their late 30's but I don't see constant articles from other club captains continually stating their desire to (could you ever imagine Patrick Vieira at 26 years old giving interviews about retiring from football?). Captains should be captains on and off the pitch. Seriously he is our best player and I wouldnt swap him for anyone, but please Carlito be a talisman off the pitch too!

Just being an old cynic an' all, but is Carlos actually free from all contractual obligations with Joorabchian?

If not, I can well understand his disinclination to play until his early thirties.

Separately, he's on the other side of the world from home. If, regardless of the titles and the massive income, he'd still sooner be back in South America, that may say a lot about the drive a player needs.

Pretty sure I read that we are the sole holders of his registration.

[Michael Brookes]

Absolutely gutted, however the writings been on the wall, even if I didnt want toreally believe it.

I'm sick to my stomach, the last time I felt like this was when sweep put in his request, but at least then I could understand it.

Mid-fucking-season and all.

How does a denied transfer request wok anyway?

Tevez is/was our best player whilst clearly being disgruntled and thus I cant see him actually playing worse now that he has finally made his intentions clear. Do we continue with the status quo/ give him a ridiculous contract ala shrek/ banish him to the reserves and let Prolific Jo hold the fort untill Jan?

Man City hold his contracts to play professional football, and though I don't know Argentinian law, Kia Joorabchian probably has him signed to a professional representation and maybe (personal services contract.) Regardless of whatever advisers (love that word) it is Kia who has complete legal representation of his services, license rights and public image. Yet, a lot depends on the age Carlos signed his contract and how his income is dispersed. Basically who receives the checks and who has the right to sign what.

Having followed baseball for years, I know a lot about how poor Latin American youths are signed at a young age before legally able to be their own guardian only to see their family swindled out of their signing bonus (or paying scouts a percentage) and seeing their 'large' extended family become 'advisers.'

We need to know the truth of what Tevez himself actually thinks; whether his interviews are lies or whether he does want to stay. If he wants to stay at the club, then Bob will do his 'eez normal' thing & it will blow over. If he doesn't, he'll be gone before long.

You can no longer effectively 'own' a player in football. It was outlawed after the Tevez saga at West Ham. Whether Tevez has given Kia Knobicunt, as his representitive, his power of attorney, so he could sign things on his behalf, is an interesting possibility though. He's always said he trusts Kia with everything so it's possible, as he doesn't speak English, that he could have Kia signing stuff for him. Whether that knowingly includes transfer requests would be interesting.
