Aguero risks Mancini wrath by expressing disappointment at seeing Tevez marginalised
Manchester City striker Sergio Aguero says he feels sorry that team-mate Carlos Tevez has been unable to settle his differences with manager Roberto Mancini.
Aguero, who is in the Argentina squad for World Cup qualifying matches against Bolivia and Colombia, says it's a 'shame for everyone' Tevez has been marginalised by City.
'What happened is very sad,' Aguero said. 'Carlitos is now training at the club, but not with us. It is a shame. Hopefully, in these days or the next month it can be solved and he will be with us.'
Tevez, also left out of the Argentina squad, provoked a scandal in September when Mancini believed he refused to come on as a substitute during City's 2-0 Champions League loss to Bayern Munich. Tevez has insisted he was misunderstood and never refused to play.
Mancini says he is willing to forgive the striker if he says he's sorry, but Tevez has not yet apologized.
In an interview with Corriere Della Sera, Mancini said: 'Everything depends on Carlos. If he apologises to the squad and to me then everything will be as before.
'If he doesn't then Tevez has a value that everyone knows and something will happen in January. He is totally unprepared and being badly advised. I don't want it to be like this and I would be the first to forgive him.'

Joey Barton queries Fabio Capello's decision to leave out Micah Richards
QPR captain Joey Barton says he 'does not understand' why the England squad for the upcoming friendlies does not include Manchester City's Micah Richards or any Newcastle players.
On Sunday coach Fabio Capello unveiled his squad for the games with Spain and Sweden, with Everton's Jack Rodwell and Chelsea's Daniel Sturridge given their first call-ups.
But there was no place for Richards, despite being in the squad for the last England match against Montenegro, or any players from Newcastle, despite them being unbeaten so far this season and having the best defensive record in the Premier League.
'Don't understand Eng Squad,' tweeted former Manchester City midfielder Barton.
'No Newcastle players?? No Micah Richards?? Surely he has to be Man City 5 pts clear, MoM at Old T [Man of the Match in City's 6-1 win over Manchester United] and skipper??'
Richards also aired his disappointment at being left, out, tweeting 'Well well well!!!! Disappointed is an understatement!!'
Barton, who has played once for England, against Spain in 2007, has previously been outspoken in his criticism of the England squad and set-up, saying playing all games at Wembley make it 'an elitist, southern-based team' which the average fan no longer cared about.
Last month he rang a radio phone-in to express his disappointment at being overlooked for the team, saying he was 'far from hard done-by but it would have been nice to play for England'.
He added: 'I've played well enough over the last 18 months for them to select me, he's [Capello's] chosen not to, so for me I'm planning on going away and playing golf and watching the [European] Championships on TV, and no doubt being massively let down by an England side coming home quite early.'

Man City are preparing to pay up to £25 Million for Real Madrid midfielder
Manchester City are to bid for Midfielder Sami Khedira as they look to strengthen their depth in Midfield.
City are set to be without Yaya Toure for up to 8 weeks from January as the Ivory Coast international plays in the African Cup of Nations and reports in Spain are suggesting that Manager Roberto Mancini could look to German Sami Khedira as a replacement and potential partner in the centre of the park.
Real Madrid manager Jose Mourinho signed Khedira after the player shone in 2010’s World Cup and recently scored his first goal for the club last month, and it seems as though Khedira is on Roberto Mancini’s shopping list as he looks to re-enforce his title challenging side.
Reports are suggesting that Manchester City owners are prepared to meet Real Madrid’s demands but will not be bullied into paying excessive transfer fee’s and will look to pay in the region of £25 million but in recent days Spanish Media outlets are suggesting that Khedira may be offered along with a fee for out of favour Carlos Tevez.

So, why won't you give Micah a game Fabio? Defender on fire for City but no England call
Micah Richards must have suspected the writing was on the wall when Fabio Capello took him to Montenegro last month but played a central defender at right back.
While Manchester United's Phil Jones was handed his England debut in a foreign position, Richards sat in the stands.
Since that evening, Richards has played in four Barclays Premier League games for Manchester City. All have been won. One of them - the 6-1 dismantling of United at Old Trafford - saw the 23-year-old nominated by many as man of the match.
This week, however, Richards is at home while Capello prepares a squad for friendlies against Spain and Sweden. It is fair to say that as his club form continues on a sharp upward trajectory, his chances of playing in Euro 2012 are receding.
Richards is Capello's blind spot. The England coach doesn't rate him; doesn't trust him. He thinks Richards' defending is suspect and believes he is unreliable and prone to 'switching off' during games.
All this has been said before. At City, though, there was incredulity that Richards had been omitted from a squad which includes two right-backs - Glen Johnson and Kyle Walker - whose games are hardly founded on flawless, traditional defending.
Richards' City team-mate Yaya Toure said: 'Am I surprised? Yes. Because Micah is fantastic now. He's improving. I thought he would be part of the national team.'
As far as City coach Roberto Mancini is concerned, Richards has been one of the success stories of his two years at the club.
On arriving, he heard the stories. Richards was, so the rumours went, too fond of body sculpting in the gym; too happy to rely on pace and power to get him out of trouble. Perhaps Mancini believed some of it for he quickly bought his own right back, German World Cup star Jerome Boateng.
Now, though, Boateng is back in Germany and Richards is a regular in Mancini's team.
'There was a point when Mancini had to decide what to do with Micah,' said a City source. 'He was told he could sell him or give him a new contract.
'He didn't hesitate. He wanted to him to stay.'
Nobody on the City staff believes that Richards is the perfect defender. Mancini feels concentration lapses remain, but that they are increasingly uncommon.
The stories of too much time on the weight machines are untrue. No City player is allowed in the training ground gym without a member of the sports science team anyway.
His ability to learn, meanwhile, is not in question. One source described him as a willing worker and first-team coach David Platt has been instructed to spend time with Richards encouraging him to be more attacking.
It was Richards' work in advanced positions that earned him such stellar reviews after the United game and Mancini wants more of the same.
Perhaps Capello doesn't want this from his full backs. Perhaps he was also put off by the way Richards was troubled by Franck Ribery during City's Champions League defeat at Bayern Munich, although Mancini blamed Samir Nasri for leaving his team-mate exposed.
Whatever the case, it seems a long way back for Richards when it comes to England.
The virtues everybody else sees are clearly invisible to Capello - and it is understood the Italian has made no attempt to explain his decision to Richards.
One source said: 'What has aggrieved him most is the lack of dialogue he's had from England staff, not just over this issue but in the past. There's been virtually no dialogue whatsoever. So how is Micah supposed to know what he needs to work on to get into the squad if no one even talks to him?
'There's a part of Micah that feels disrespected. He is convinced the decision has been made based on personal rather than footballing reasons. It's upsetting for him.'
In a recent interview, Richards was frank about his international career. 'I made my England debut at 18,' he said. 'And I think I am twice the player now.'
Many people would agree. One person clearly doesn't

CARLOS TEVEZ is refusing to bury the hatchet with Manchester City boss Roberto Mancini.
The rebel striker was told last week he would be allowed to rejoin the Blues’ first-team squad if he apologises to Mancini and his team-mates.
But Tevez has rejected Mancini’s offer and, to make matters worse, is set to appeal against his latest fine from the Premier League leaders.
Tevez was told to cough up £400,000 last month after a club investigation found him guilty of refusing to warm up during his side’s recent Champions League defeat at Bayern Munich.
It was the second time Tevez had been fined as a result of his bust-up in Germany.
He was fined two weeks’ wages and suspended pending a club investigation into allegations he refused to play, but his second fine was halved from four weeks to two following the intervention of the PFA.
Tevez was given two weeks to appeal against his latest punishment and Starsport understands the Argentine hitman wants to challenge it.
Tevez has spent the last few weeks training on his own and is determined to leave in the next transfer window.
The Blues are resigned to selling Tevez cheaply and will accept a bid of around £20m for the disgraced forward so they can get him off the payroll.

Yaya Toure wants City to be the Invincibles Mk II
YAYA TOURE wants Manchester City to become the Invincibles Mk II.
Arsenal are the only team in Premier League history to have gone a whole season unbeaten in their sensational 2003-4 title-winning campaign.
Big-spending City have taken the league by storm in this campaign with 10 wins and one draw in 11 games so far.
Ivory Coast midfield ace Toure has been immense. In the last week he hit a double in the 3-0 win at Villarreal as well as heading the winner in the 3-2 thriller at QPR.
He said: "I came here because I wanted to make history. I want to be part of history at this club.
"For me it's the most important thing. We try not to think about going unbeaten, because the Premier League's not easy and other teams will try to beat us.
"We have tough, tough games and coming up in a couple of weeks we have Liverpool, Newcastle at home, Arsenal and after that we play Chelsea.
"It will be very difficult but we hope we'll continue unbeaten."
City came from 1-0 behind at Loftus Road and Toure's winner arrived when a 2-2 draw was the likelier result.
But it showed boss Roberto Mancini's men can win on an off-day — and they admitted it was a huge confidence booster.
Toure, 28, added: "Coming back in games gives you confidence and makes you feel stronger and stronger.
"Against QPR it was a difficult game and winning was very important because they made us go for 90 minutes.
"It was a very hard victory but we are a fantastic group. It's amazing what we are doing."
The Etihad superstar is adamant City are the complete package and even their SECOND string would be good enough to get at least a Champions League berth.
Toure said: "We have more than one team now — we have got two teams.
"If you see the team that beat Wolves 5-2 in the Carling Cup, people said it was the second team.
"For me, it is not the second team because everybody is good enough to play.
"The team that played against Wolves in the league at home won 3-1, but it was difficult. We have got two teams now that can both play in the Champions League.
"We have got a fantastic squad and everybody is improving. For me it is amazing."
Toure insists City's 6-1 demolition of big rivals United at Old Trafford proves Mancini's men are destined to finish top.
He added: "After the game at Old Trafford some people at home asked me 'Is it real? You beat United 6-1?'
"People understand now City are becoming a big team. A great team. We get fantastic players and we want to beat strong teams like Manchester United and Chelsea. Everybody understands City are coming to the top and we wait until the end of the season because we know the Premier League is not easy to win."
But the £200,000-a-week star admitted that despite the millions of Sheikh Mansour's backing, City are nowhere near his former club Barcelona.
He said: "Ha ha! Honestly I think we are far away. Barcelona are an amazing club with a fantastic squad.
"I think most of the best players in the world are already there — Xavi, Andres Iniesta, Lionel Messi, Gerard Pique, Dani Alves.
"They are a fantastic squad. To become like them, we have to work hard and we have to win some trophies. We will continue to work hard to become like them."

WAG needs to wash between her tits. Or shave, I suppose.

Capello sounds like a right knob.

Khedira was a very good player last time I saw him. Wouldn't say no to having him at City.
Your right leg I like; I've got nothing against your right leg. The trouble is neither have you.

Manchester City striker Carlos Tevez accepts misconduct charge
Tevez scored 24 goals for Manchester City last season Manchester City striker Carlos Tevez will not contest his misconduct charge, BBC Sport understands.
City found the 27-year-old Argentine guilty of committing five breaches of contract in a Champions League game against Bayern Munich in September.
Manager Roberto Mancini wanted to bring Tevez on as a substitute with 35 minutes left but he refused to warm up.
It is understood that Tevez believes a move away from the club in the January transfer window is now the best option.
After the Bayern Munich defeat, Mancini said: "He refused to come on the pitch. If I have my way, he will be out. He's finished with me."
But in a statement released the following day, Tevez said the dispute was a "misunderstanding" and "confusion on the bench".
The former Manchester United and West Ham man has always asserted that at no time during the match in Germany in September was he told he was to be brought on to play, but will not contest the charge as he looks to leave the club in January.
Tevez was fined four weeks' wages by City last month, which was later reduced to two weeks following intervention by the Professional Footballers' Association, and has not played for the club since starting in the 2-0 Carling Cup win over Birmingham in September.
He has not scored this season and has seen fellow strikers Sergio Aguero, Edin Dzeko and Mario Balotelli amass 30 goals between them in all competitions.
Tevez was signed by then City manager Mark Hughes in the summer of 2009 and has scored 53 goals in 91 appearances.
In May, he captained the club to FA Cup success, with a 1-0 victory over Stoke in the final at Wembley, City's first major trophy in 35 years.
However, he has also twice asked for a transfer away from Eastlands and looked set to get his wish before a proposed £40m-move to Brazilian side Corinthians fell through.
