I don't disagree with him, Manchester is a hole.

He came from probably the poorest areas of Buenos Aires. He should be commended for what he has achieved considering the initial cards he was dealt in life.

Come to Liverpool then, it's always sunny under the golden sky.

The storm has gone.

After watching the clip of him on that TV show, I wouldn't want him at Liverpool

Agreed. However, he should remember where he came from because being a Premier League footballer is a far cry from where he was, therefore I can't understand his hatred of Manchester. I'm sure he wouldn't swap his life for the one he had in the slums of Argentina so he should be grateful.

He's now said he's definitely off, according to the breaking news Sky Sports News.

Cracking player, but he's a miserable, moaning so and so and I can't see any club that could actually afford him. Are Real Madrid or Barcelona going to pay him £250,000 a week on top of a massive transfer fee that City will require because that's what it's going to take. He's also playing a very dangerous game IMO as the owners can afford to let him stay in the reserves to spite him if they want to.

He always complains about Manchester, but then again he's been there for years and hasn't bothered to learn the language. If he misses his family then fair enough, retire and go back to Argentina, or buy out your contract and play over there (as no club over there could afford his fee), however I suspect if he's told to buy out the remainder of his contract he'll stop missing them fairly quickly.

I'm sick of him now as every week he's complaining about something.

Plenty of time for City to replace if needs be anyway.

Cant really blame him if he wants to move home. His wife is in argentina and he's pretty much missing out on his 2 daughter's growing up.

People can say he's on X amount of money and he earned so much, why not move them to england, but you move to argentina without family and (most) friends and see how you get on after 5 odd years.

But...

if he ends up at inter or madrid or basically wherever the $$$ is, then forget the above, he's just a mercenary!

Could well blow over once the Copa is over and he is forced to report back to Manchester. He seems to throw a strop every time he goes home...

The situation will change several times before the windw closes. My bet is he's still at City next season. For one, very few cklubs will be able to met his wage demands and I don't see him moving fulltime home to South America. His agent/advisors for one would never allow him, not when they're sitting on such a lucrative cash cow.

At this stage I'm beginning to wonder if he hasn't a clause in his contract to act the maggot every time City drop off the back pages in order to keep the team in the public eye. Same reason I reckon they signed Robinho, Balotelli and Gareth Barry.

IMO the sooner he leaves the EPL the better .

He is an exceptional talent but the last few months has been nothing but a winge bag , and making headlines for everything other than match performances .

Good riddance I say

Homesick eh?

Should be interesting to see if he's home next season....

I think he will be happy enough at a spanish club.

No wonder John terry snotted all over his head!

He's in England over 5years you would think he would even try learn English, settle down and put in the graft to be a professional sporstsman. I understand emotionally its hard for him not being with his daughters and family but his choice not to bring them over and help them adjust by being open and willing to adjust is just pure ignorance on his part that he let himself get into this situation.

This thing that he can't speak English is a myth.

Any time I've seen him asked a question by a Sky reporter in recent times it's been preceded by a patronizing comment that amounts to "I'll speak as slowly as I can for you" and followed by a perfectly intelligible response from Tevez.

I imagine he's perfectly capable of communicating with his English teammates.

Tevez Career so far

Boca Juniors - 01-04 - Said he loved the fans and always tried his best but felt it was time to move on.

Corinthians - 04-06 - Refused to play for the club and forced Corinthians to let him go, said he loved the fans and tried his best.

West Ham - 06-07 - Moaned about struggling to settle, eventually hit form in the last 3 months of the season. Was expected to stay after avoiding relegation but left for Man Utd. Said he love the fans and always tried his best.

Man Utd - 07-09 - Good first year, moaned about not being loved or played enough the 2nd. Said problems were with the board members and management at Utd. Moved on saying he loved the fans and always tried his best despite being mistreated and under-valued.

Man City - 09- Done well both seasons, asked to leave 1 1/2 years in after a bust up with a City executive. Regrets this but loves the fans and tried his best. After all but saying he will stay, he then takes the piss out of Manchester on live TV (did he not realize what was here before he signed for us having spent 2 years at our rivals) and then says he misses the family he betrayed. He then goes on to say that he loves the fans and always tried his best.

Was reading Bluemoon and it seems even the City fans are sick of his **** now.

I dislike all his whinging and moaning (although I'm happy when it might disrupt City) and think his sob stories are tedious so I don't disagree with the sentiment of your post. But isn't the reason that his daughters aren't in England because he and the ma are separated or divorced?

He was photographed with the 'bit of the side' while his wife was in Argentina. I think, maybe wrong but realtions went downhill between himself and the missus after that.
