Tevez transfer request

[saj]

How can he be a class player but at the same time be representative of everything that's wrong?

A bit like how Kygriakos is a good signing but is a **** player but is a good player for what we paid but he is overall a **** player

Tevez is a class player but represents everything that is wrong with footballers today.

How can he be a class player but at the same time be representative of everything that's wrong?

I think it's pretty obvious what he means really - i.e. great on the field but a mercenary off it.

Not sure I agree but I think the point is a valid enough one. It is increasingly hard to empathise or identify with footballers and players who seem to have some sort of fake love for every club they play for doesn't help.

I have to say I think unlike some players the obvious way that Tevez clearly puts his heart and soul into each game he plays mitigates against the feeling that he is the aloof footballer that some try to paint him as.

Ok but then he isn't 'class'. Talented or skilful but not class or classy

Bascially people cut him a bit of slack because he runs around a lot and seems to really care for the club he is playing for.

The reality is though he is just as bad as any other money grabbing footballer - he is just like Adebayor but with more effort.

Manchester City can confirm to its fans that “clear the air” talks have been held with Carlos Tevez.
During the meeting Carlos expressed his absolute commitment to the Club and formally withdrew his transfer request. Carlos’ contract remains unchanged and both Carlos and the Football Club are keen to focus on the opportunities that lie ahead.

Roberto Mancini commented “Carlos is a world class player whose contribution since he joined the Club has been invaluable.

I am pleased that we are now able to focus on pure football matters and to be able to look forward to Carlos continuing to play a significant role in the Club’s progress.”

He's done a Rooney and withdrawn his request

what a ****er.

What a shallow cunt of a sport professional football has become. If I was City I would make him rot in the reserves for the rest of the season.

[Imy]

Well if it means it strengthens their title challenge then thats fine. Rather Citeh then Utd.

[Leyton388]

That Golden back hander of an extra £200k a week most likely changed his mind.

[danperkins]

Yup extra few shillings for Tevez in the pocket. Class player but a complete mercenary scumbag, bet the ****er scores tonight too if game is on.

I don't think it was about money.
