Premier League - Tevez: Fans will forgive City move

Eurosport - Sun, 05 Jul 09:29:00 2009

Former Manchester United striker Carlos Tevez is confident he will not be viewed as a traitor by the Old Trafford faithful if he completes a transfer to the club's cross-city rivals.

2009 Manchester United Carlos Tevez - 0

The Argentina international turned down a permanent deal at United last month following a two-year loan deal and has since been linked with a lucrative move to wealthy Manchester City.

Tevez told The People: "If I play for Manchester City I don't think the United fans will feel I am a traitor. They have to remember that at least as far as I know I have been thrown out of the club and I have to study the best offers available."

Tevez's decision to turn down the offer of a five-year deal at United has been defended by his adviser Kia Joorabchian, and the player himself insists manager Sir Alex Ferguson left him with little choice but to move on.

"It has come about because I could not stand my sporting situation at Manchester United any longer," he continued. "My first year was good in all senses. I played in the games and felt respected by the coach but in my second year some strange things happened that I still do not understand."

"I gave everything for Manchester United and people know that. For that reason I don't deserve the way things have ended up."

  5. A combination of saf(the gin bloosom boss) and too many­ people trying to get $$$ from Tevez'z signing has­ dragged this out.
    How many agents,teams, people are­ gonna get paid from Tevez moving?

    manu have NOT done­ right by Tevez. He gives 100% all the time. Incredible­ work rate. I hope he gets paid, By Roma or Arsenal. As­ long as he leaves OT thats all that really matters.

  14. alan h, i agree about CR but no player is worth 150k­ per week, since we sold CR prices will now go through­ the roof, someone at some point has to put a stop to­ it, its bonkers man, there are people on the bread line­ and when i see players that want this kind of money i­ think is disgusting, like i said tezev is a gladiator,­ a warrior, and we should get him, but whilst he as the­ greedy agent that he as, we wont, cos SAF will not­ recommend to the board that he is worth that, nor do i­ think any premiership team will. shoot the agent i­ say.....

    From the silent assassin, on Sun 5 Jul 9:55PM
  20. if Tevez has not signed for a club by the 24th of this­ month, he will be back at OT asking SAF to re sign him­ at a reduced wage, I am a mad united fan and love­ Tevez, he is a proper gladiator and will run all day­ for the ball, he has class, but not worth 150k a week.­

    and BALLSDEEP you need to get a life you scum bag, i­ bet you are a bin dipping monkey from Liverpool, shall­ i post about hillsborough?????........no i will not, do­ you know why?????, i have class and not shallow like­ you, you filth scumbag...........
