The Tevez Dilemma


This is easily the biggest talking point in football at the moment: the Carlos Tevez saga. Carlos Tevez has clearly stated that he is never coming back to Manchester again. He called it a "small and wet" city and it is obvious he wants to be closer to his home, Argentina. Corinthians made an offer of 35 million pounds which was quite swiftly rejected by Man City, but how much do they really want for him?

Man City really do have all the money in the world. They can buy anyone they want, as long as the player wants to join. Whether it's 1 million or 50 million, he doesn't notice the difference. Man City should just have accepted the offer and then spent maybe 50million on another player. Aguero, who they are reportedly targeting I think is a no go zone as Tevez will no doubt have advised his fellow Argentine not to set foot in Manchester.

It's understandable if you are a club with not much money trying to keep hold of your star, but this is Man City we're talking about. And there are a wealth of non-Argentine strikers currently available. Neymar, Hazard and even potentially Eto'o to name but few. All of which I think would be available for under 50 million, not that it really matters.

If I were a manager I would never keep an unhappy player at a football club as he would lack a hunger to play which I think every player should have. Also, you really don't want to have the bad attitude rub off on the other players. If this happens, the team could even spilt in two and turmoil could occur, see France at the 2010 World Cup.
