Tévez Takes To The Field In a City Shirt Again

Hope they burned the shirt the weasel wore after the match, as it's permanetly soiled.

As we lost this game he is allready bringing us bad luck.

If he ever plays in a competitive match? Ofcourse he will, only a matter of time. Mancini needs all the resources he has at his disposal as squeaky bum time in the league approaches.

We will see quite soon wont we Bluedub! When Tevez does take the field will you claim its his body double and not him?

Bluedub why are you such a sensitive tool?

That you take offence to even minor statements of opinion is quite well known to all but your own club's fans Bluedub. Its your perception that I was rude, it was a lighthearted dig nothing more. It is quite clear that if Mancini didn't want Tevez as a backup or insurance policy for the remainder of the season, Tevez wouldnt have been asked to report back to duty. Considering your progress in the Europa league and the 12 remaining games in the league, there is no guarantee that Aguero will feature in all the games. Tevez is the closest thing to Aguero that City has and its only a matter of time he makes an appearance as a substitute in a league game or an away game of the Europa league when work rate and closing down of defenders is required. Therefore, I find your statement that Mancini wont require Tevez at all quite puzzling and misinformed.

Bluedub, this is remarkably silly, did you read my full post? You asked me essentially why I thought Mancini would need Tevez and I outlined the reasons why. Now you deny your earlier opinion that Tevez wasnt required by Mancini? this is a real classic.

You do realise that your last post contradicts itself? What you are saying is that Tevez is required but not now? That doesn't even make sense.

Deltaforce, you really could start a fight in an empty room couldn't you?

BD, when you cool off from this shock of seeing T***z play for you again, ask your close friends to read your last two posts and ask for their honest opinion about the logic you used in the arguement. Dont take my word for it.

I've no problem with BD's logic, team bias notwithstanding. We have coped admirably well without Tevez thus far this season, and, barring a spate of injuries there is no real need for him now. Personally, I think Tevez is far too much an individualist and detracts from our overall play. The only reason he is currently back with us at the moment is that after a move failed to materialis, he was hemmoraging money by staying in Argentina and had no choice but to return. The most likely scenario is that the club gave him a final ultimatum, ie return or be sued, and he's taken it. All the flannel about Tevez coming back to fire us to the title, etc. blah blah is just that, and I would actually be quite surprised if he does make more than a few brief cameos. Clearly that situation would change if there were injuries to one or more of our strikeforce, but i suspect the sole reason the club wanted him back was to ensure that we receive a decent transfer fee for him in the summer. In short, we don't need Tevez, most of the fans don't want him, and I suspect the club and manager don't really want him either.

perhaps he needs a few more games with the eds, say until the end of june.
