Doesn't Tevez now have a clause to make sure he stays in shape?

Really? I dont think so. He was in a position most on here would kill for. His job was basically to stay fit and healthy and play football. I think its only right that he gets pelters for not even managing that.

I'm sorry Lee but I just think it's difficult to have sympathy (from the outside) when you see someone so young, in such a priviledged position end up like you.

I'm not having a go at you at all Lee, it's just an intervention.

End up like me?

Well, for a start, he's now an ex-footballer isn't he. So if you frame your question to ask 'how many former footballer are a similar size to him?', then that would be a less interesting, but more accurate question. And I've not got the figures unfortunately.

As I said, you don't know if he has underlying issues (mental? physical? none?) which could have led to this. But that doesn't matter. He just simply didn't put enough effort into it.

Well he wasnt an ex footballer when that photo was taken. He is now.

Ok, so we dont know what his issues are. We dont have the full picture. But in that case, most threads of this forums are pointless. Because we dont know much about football really. Its speculation, and as such, its just speculation that he might have underlying issues. Neither of us can be sure.

But, what my point is, is that other current footballers might have similar issues. We just dont know because they try and look after themselves.

I have my trouble with weight loss and gain. All the time, its a constant fight. One I feel like giving up on. But I dont and as such my weight Yo-Yos around. Its only recently that I have finally gotten control of it with a strict-ish diet. Point being, if I can. Why cant he? Because he certainly looked to be in control 4 years ago when he was in the shape a footballer should have been in.

Maybe the poor chap is just misunderstood.

Yes, you're right. Almost all content in discussion forums is indeed completely pointless in the actual scheme of things. So in that vein, I've offered an alternative point of view and continued the discussion by pointing out that you're speculating at best, and making assumptions at worst.

I've already said I disagree with your PoV and explained my reasons why. So I guess I've run out of steam with regards to continuing this debate.

Good luck with conquering your own weight issues.

To be honest I was just about to post the same about not really caring about the debate

I just thought you were being dismissive about the 'Effort' comment. Meh.

[barnes10]

I reckon he's just the man to fit FSGs profile. Young, hungry (pun intended) and cheap. sign him up!

[-V-]

Huh? How? He got pissed 5 nights a week.

I saw him a few months back - in fact I think I posted it in this thread. Sitting outside a bar near mine drinking several Duvels at 1pm.

I was kidding. He's a lucky ****er just like the rest of them

I got confused about which one of you was criticising him more.
