Tevez Goes Public On City Exit Wish

I seriously doubt he will ever wear the shirt again after that to the delight of our title rivals. - At least the hacks and expert pundits have been exposed over the alleged war between Tevez and Mancini.

I don't like the "at this stage" comment. He's threatening more. That'll be Marwood and Cook in the firing line IMHO. But that aside, I'm interpreting this as a massive middle finger to the team mates he's supposed to be captaining and above all else to the fans he knows he'll be hurting. When Hughes went, we saw division and I'm dreading similar here, but from what I hear he has been having next to feck all to do with the rest of the lads, even stuffing the team christmas party. We MUST get rid asap. We are in our best league position and title shout since 1977.

Mancio is waiting in Italy for The Blues plane in a day or so. That Europa League press conference with one of our players by his side is going to be interesting. I hope he selects Vinnie as skipper and takes the stage with him.

Too bad for Liverpool they couldn't buy Mascherano's or Alonso's either Klutch. Difference is we have the means to replace Tevez.

The only way Tevez gets out of this situation with his personal reputation intact is if he buys himself out of his deal and goes to play for Boca or his local pub team in Buenos Aires. A move anywhere else, will just prove he's used his family as an excuse to engineer his way out a commitment. Man up Carlitos - you're an adult.

bluedub - Xabi left due to other reason (Barry saga) plus he was at Anfield watching us against Villa a week ago and will always be remembered fondly. Either way it doesn't matter, when Robinho left the whole of Vital Football was here having a laugh but as i said its happens at your club so much that its getting tiresome. They always say more money more problems.

Unbelievable. As if Liverpool wouldn't be spending massively now if they could.

This is what happens when you employ mercenaries. Still, your club will live and learn.

As for "employing mercenaries", they are not exclusive to our club. Spurs has them, Arsenal has them, United has the biggest of them all (Rooney). Our business has been so accelerated though that we signed more high risk players at once. However, players like De Jong, Kompany, and Zabaleta are as loyal as any in the Premier League. Even Yaya Toure has buckled down and is matching his brother's workrate. However, I think the club needs to do thorough psychological analysis' of our signings, as we have signed some very high maintenance players (Tevez, Robinho, Adebayor, Balotelli). Players like Kolarov with healthy minds and good work ethic are what we need to complete the "Mancini" team. Dzeko would be perfect for that but the other we are linked with, Torres, shows the signs of being another problem child type based on his regular petulance at Liverpool.

good he finaly came to his senses and realised *****y are scum

Stu - Rooney a mercenary? Because his contract was running out and he got an improved deal? Or because he has been with us since he was 17? Or is it because he left Everton to join one of the biggest clubs in the world? You think Rooney needs the money? He's earning close to 50 mil from thru sponsorships thanks to his association with Manchester United

A huge 'Us versus them' feeling here among all Vital City fans - you think the media is against you, other clubs cant wait for you to stumble and most of all that luck is against you. Amusing. But money is money and it talks - i maintain that its only a matter of time before you end your 34 year wait for a major trophy. Understand though that the money you spend is not what you generate - its all sugar daddy money. That is an unfair advantage thanks to a loophole in PL regulations. Which is the main reason respect from opposition fans and the media is hard to come by.

Couldn't be happier to hear this. Hope it causes you big problems Chelsea#2. Would love to honestly know how City fans reacted originally when Roman put his money into Chelsea and bought success without earning it. You're both scum.

Well, there goes the life and blood of City. Welcome to Manchester btw ;)

Yes Klutch, I will continue to look at the league table because ultimately that is what matters.

He's replaceable, he gets lots of goals because he gets an excellent supply, like his replacement will. I'm tired of his disrespect for Mancini and i'm tired of his regular ill-judged outbursts about quitting and i'm tired of his shinpad tributes. It will be interesting to see him not fit in at Real or play second fiddle to Messi & Villa at Barca or even maybe be a success after replacing Drogba (!) or maybe even getting fat in Argentina whilst we hold onto his registration or maybe even staying (!!!). Why should players be falling out with board members anyway?! It would seem Mr Tevez has his fingers in too many pies. For the record it wouldn't bother me if Ballotelli went in January either. To all you others on here from other clubs, your comments don't really hold any sway. But thanks for your time!

You know, some very insightful comments have manifested themselves in the discourses above.How many more will declare that they want to fell City for any number of personal reasons? Oddly enough, all of the aforementioned 'want-away' players, namely Adebayor, Robinho and now Tevez, seem to have gorged themselves on City's cash for quite a while before declaring their willingness to move. There are mercenaries, City fans, but at least they do a job and stay to see the contract through. What you've burdened yourselves with are leeches. Secondly, I would laugh at the predicament City suddenly find themselves in, as I do not deny that I did and continue to dislike the Monster-Money City that has sprung out of what was once a quite likeable club, but I realize that the people who bear the brunt of the rival fans' mockery aren't Mansour and his oily cronies, but the fans, who had no say in who took over the club and are simply enjoying the fruis of that takeover as they come.So, I see no point in taking the mick. Thirdly, an informed opinion on this 'Chelsea=City' argument-Honestly, I'm quite sure many of you City fans scoffed and disdainfully dismissed Chelsea as a big-money club ruining football when Abramovich took over, so you really can't justify any attempts at differing yourselves from Chelsea. You're both essentially the same, for better or worse. Finally, as someone said above, you do need to look at your transfer policy. The number of prima-donnas and leeches you've bought is definitely the football equivalent of sitting on a powder keg just because it makes you taller than everyone else sitting on sturdy stools. Balotelli, renowned for his strops with arguably the world's greatest modern coach, Tevez, who snubbed one of the most successful coaches in modern England, Adebayor, who was literally jeered out of Arsenal, Yaya Toure, who left one of the greatest clubs in world football just because he didn't play every game,instead of fighting for the right to do so, and others like the now thankfully-departed Robinho spring to mind. There's a reason their clubs let them go, I hope you realise that, as I'm sure most of you do anyway. You have the foundations of a mightily succesful team, in Zabaleta, Johnson, Kompany, Toure, De Jong, Silva and Hart. Not these guys. Not the volatile characters with a tendency to sulkily jet off to their next big payday with less concern for the fans than American baseball stars taking pills in the back room.

"I'm quite sure many of you City fans scoffed and disdainfully dismissed Chelsea as a big-money club ruining football when Abramovich took over" - actually, as a poster on City message boards back then I can tell you many of us loved it, as it meant a new club were blowing United out of the water. Spurs also had their sugar daddy, Alan Sugar (lol), I remember when they were buying World Cup stars like Klinsmann, Popescu, and Dumitrescu after their impressive showings in the 1994 World Cup, when big name foreigners were a rarity in England then.

Keep it coming Nobby Nordkap. Long long way to go.

Dubai - fair comments in the main. There is one thing I take issue with though. Yaya played a huge role in Barca's success while he was there and didn't lose his starting place due to his ability or lack of fight, he lost it basically because he's African and Barca had an able Catalan replacement for him in Busquets.

I don't believe he lacked the stomach to fight DS. He could just see his days were numbered as a regular in the side because of the emergence of Busquets. Trust me a black player is never going to be picked ahead of a local lad at Barca. Then there's the nice earner he was offered here of course, but you also have to factor in the opportunity to play with his brother and the chance to share success with him, which he has stated in interviews was a boyhood dream of his. I could be wrong and Yaya will be next to have a strop and if he does I shall eat my words. Time will tell.

I've listened to and read comments made by supporters of other clubs all season.The fear and jealousy and vitriol knows no bounds.On Tevez,if he wants to leave,let him leave,on our terms,not his.We will replace him.We have to back Cook,Marwood and Mancini.Since we got rid of the red leg end,the club has improved a million fold.We have method in everything the club is doing.The academy is being upgraded enormously.The style of football is a joy,pass and move,not long ball.The facilities for the fans are great.To answer some of these bitter fans.Klutch,Mancini has,in the main brought in young,hungry,talented players.The players that are creating problems are all Hughes signings.Tottenham hardcore,our manager will have success with us for a long time.Who will be your gaffer after April,due to a certain tax evasion court case.No cockney spivs at our club.Finally,to nordkrap,when your whore loving mercenary shafted bacon face up the backside,your club crapped itself and let him have what he wanted.We have told our mercenary where to go.We also,do not have a network of fergie poodles managing other clubs who just roll over when manure play them.At least one club had the courage today to get rid of one of these poodles.

Famous, your missing the point, I want him gone if he doesn't want to play here, but it will be on our terms. I back the club 100% on this. We are in a position where players do not have the luxury of dictating to our club, unlike some others I could name.
