Am I being daft....

[Tony P]

In The Sun (I know, I know) there is an article about Tevez being 'back in love' with City. At the top is a picture of Mancini and Tevez smiling at each other, in between the two of them is....... who?

Is that a photoshopped opposition player or am I being daft not recognising him?

"Now I'm good and I think I'll be playing again soon. I don't think I'll have lost my place because I'm captain and the symbol of a big club like City."

The fuck you are.

The fuck you are.

If he gets the captains armband back again Im going into a Mancini out (ish) rant.

Could be. What's the game then?

Could only be this

"Reece made his first team debut on the last day of the 2010-11 season against Bolton Wanderers, replacing Pablo Zabaleta"

yep it was

To be captain he'll need to be a certain starter. The way things are going I don't see any reason why he should be.

[Crossie]

Fuck off Tevez, do you think every single City fan is as thick as you are?

Your like the ugly cunt with a fit wife who thinks he can go behind her back and fuck even fitter women, but you cant get any, so you try and get back with your fit wife and tell her you always loved her, but you didnt did you?

There should be no way into the starting 11 with Aguero and Dzeko in great form, and Balotelli is ahead of him on the bench too.

Thank god Mancini isn't stupid. But he will go down in my estimation if he suddenly sticks Tevez on from the start. Injuries and suspensions accepted

Cheeky cunt.,,,,,symbol of City...like fuck you are!

I dont see 1 reason at all why he should EVER be given the captains armband ever again...........amazing how now no cunt could afford him he is now in LOVE with Man City again.
He is part of the squad...nothing more nothing less and will be used as and when needed.....Ill be fucked if he should now be a first team starter.

[RodneyRodney]

I think Macini's got him EXACTLY where he want's him now. Carlos has had to do a fair bit of climbing down the last week or two - He's seen Aguero/Dzeko suddenly jump ahead of him in the squad so he know he's got to kip it zipped and bloody well play. If he goes stomping off again because he's not automatic first choice then he'll be labelled unmanageable and no other club (which can afford him) will want to come near him - His only future is with us for the next couple of seasonsat least

[Bridge'srightfoot]

He shouldn't be given captaincy but he still should feature heavily. It would be daft not to play one of the top strikers in world football. They'll be games this season we'll be glad we have Tevez.

[Beefymcfc]

Has there been any word that the captaincy has changed?

[paddyblue]

suddenly everyone seems to believe a sun article

[Mark (Blue Army)]

Has there been any word that the captaincy has changed?

No I don't think so, I read an interview with kompany about a week ago and he was saying if he gets made captain then nothing would change between him and Tevez. So I'm guessing no official decision has been made.

[Chinners]

Spot on, in rotation with Agureo and Dzeko

True, but in my opinion we have the makings of the best front two in world football. Agüero and Dzeko. I love our new fluid formation, that flits between this:

--------------------Hart

MR/Zab----Kompo----Lezzer---Kola/Cliché

-------------Yaya-------Barry

Silva------------------------------------Nasri

--------------Dzeko-----Agëro

And this:


--------------------Hart

MR/Zab----Kompo----Lezzer---Kola/Cliché

-------------Yaya-------Barry

Silva-------------Agëro----------------Nasri

-------------------Dzeko

Depending on how the game is going. Not even counted NDJ, Milner, Tevez, Balotelli or Kolo or AJ into the mix. For the first time in my lifetime, we are fucking ace and I love it.

[stommy]

i think he'll eventually get back into the squad, mancini will rotate, but carlos has to fit into this kind of attacking....if he tries to make an one man show again, he's out...

[Sideshow Bob]

Wait, did he really say he was still captain and the symbol of our club???? Jesus fuck, I didn't think it possible for me to hate this hideous cunt anymore than I already did... So fucking thick it's untrue.

I can 99.9% guarantee he didn't. Find me the original 'interview' in Spanish and I'll tell you what he actually said.

That interview he gave to an Argentine chat show, for example, when he said he'd 'never' return to Manchester, was obfuscated to the point of libel.

[Goaters 103]

Will probably get a game against Wigan, as will Milner, Balotelli and AJ as perhaps Silva, Dzeko, Ya Ya and Aguero are kept nice and fresh for Napoli.

Tevez will be a very valuable member of the squad but no longer the central figure, therein lies the important distinction.
