With AC Milan closing the last exit door for Tevez he now faces having to return from 'exile' to Man City who clearly don't want him. Listening to his agent Kia Joorabchian on Talksport he didn't entirely rule out the possibility of a loan deal. The fact MH is also a client of Kia's and has just done some business with City, what do you think the chances are that there might just be a loan deal that would suit all parties? Tevez would get some game time and not be a pain in the arse to Mancini, we'd get one of the world's top strikers for the rest of the campaign and there's every chance he could score some goals that would take points off City's main rivals in the run-in and he wouldn't play against them in the final fixture! Most would think it far-fetched but if there was a possibility I'd back us to pull it off...
Superhoop! I don't think it is such a daft idea, unless Tevez prefers playing golf that is! If he wants to play footbal, I suspect he's going somewhere before 1 Feb, and while there must be quite a few more likely Clubs than us, the MH connection must leave us as a rank Outsider bet, but shortening the longer this window goes without anything else getting sorted.
Really pleased we signed Onouha from city, even more pleased it was a permanent deal. I think Tevez is poisonous, unfit and disloyal; I also think some on here have short memories: it was only last season we all agreed loans were not the way to build a team.
2 of 3 of our signings so far January are loans. The priorit this season is to stay up, we'd be building a somewhat different team for the PL than for the Championship, so loans for real quality players, also with potential, and especially with options to buy in the summer, look a good idea to me. And if we did get Tevez we'd probably be happy to get rid of him again by May!
City will only do a loan deal for tevez if there is a permanent transfer agreed at the end,we could afford the fee no doubt but his wages are obscene,i would be happy with rodellga for now
The way Joorabchian was talking today just getting him playing, anywhere, will be the objective. There may be an option to buy at the end of the loan and if our PL status is assured we'd have pulled off a real coup whether he stays or goes...
I'm sure I read somewhere that if he doesn't play a certain amount of games, there is a clause in his contract that he can leave ( I assume that would include games in a loan period) for nothing in the summer, City are obviously looking to get a full payment but would take a loan on the last day if that's correct.
Fair enough - he is a fantastic player. Still think his ego would make Barton and Adel look like stepford wives
You are absolutely right N22, Tevez is truly odious in so many ways, the lowest of the low in a profession that generally - but not always - stinks. But if he and other loanees could keep us up this season, I'd put aside my principles for a few months so that Mark Hughes gets the chance to build us a decent team that could mount a challenge in the top half of the table next season. And there does seem to be some logic in the argument that he might join us.
That may well be true about him but if he could only be with us for the rest of the season and score some great goals to keep us up, I'd be happy. I doubt he's that much of an awful person. We don't know him, we only know what's in the papers. Even a Tevez on loan without 100% motivation would still get us goals. But I'm sure he'd have the motivation to prove certain people wrong about him, etc.
