Ligue 1 - Mancini wants Tevez out now

Fri, 20 Jan 11:26:00 2012

Manchester City boss Roberto Mancini hopes the Carlos Tevez saga will end "very quickly" as a return to the Etihad Stadium is "impossible".

Carlos Tevez - 0

Tevez's advisor Kia Joorabchian has now opened preliminary discussions with Paris Saint-Germain over a potential move for the former City captain and the league leaders have also been involved in recent dialogue with Inter Milan over the 27-year-old striker.

Mancini said: "I hope this will finish very quickly. I don't know [the latest]. I think he has talked with PSG and Inter, but not Milan. I hope for him everything can finish very quickly."

Tevez has not played for City since September and is currently in his native Argentina awaiting a possible transfer.

Mancini was asked on Friday if Tevez could return to the City team if a move fails to materialise before the end of the January transfer window.

The Italian, speaking at a press conference to preview Sunday's Premier League clash with Tottenham, said: "This is impossible. Carlos doesn't want to stay.

"It is important for him to start to play because he is a football player. It is now three months that he hasn't played and this is not good for him."

City defender Nedum Onuoha is edging closer to a possible move to QPR.

The 25-year-old academy graduate appeared as a substitute in the Premier League leaders' win at Wigan on Monday but has otherwise struggled for opportunities since returning from a loan at Sunderland.

Mancini said: "I don't know [the latest]. They were talking yesterday. Maybe today or tomorrow, it is possible. Nedum deserves to play. He is a good guy and if he stays here he will maybe play one or two games. That is not enough for a young player."

  1. i believe hells first eleven see him as a youngster who­ still isnt evil enough

  2. personally i hope he comes to leeds, but.....

    clearly­ i aint a man utd fan, but when these oh so brilliant­ players leave man utd, i say to myself, they must be­ fed up of winning medals. ronaldo (will he won't he­ win la liga? - he coulda won the premiership year after­ year) tevez (got fed up with being a sub, now he's­ not even a sub) beckham (the contents of his underwear­ allegedly weigh more than his wife)the exception is­ that delightful centre back pique they wouldn't­ play who had to go to barca to play in the world's­ best team. if you leave man utd when you are at the­ top, the only way is down.

    this is true of other­ clubs too - torres and chelsea is a case in point, or­ is this lack of gelling due to something else?

  3. #4 remind me how much Harry 'off-shore' redknap­ valued Bale at????

    greedy???

    £150 million for­ Bale
    £80 million for Ronaldo
    £50 mil for Torres

    Spud,­ Manure and Loserpooh are the ones inflating the prices­ fella. Check your facts before you spout off Graham

  4. problem is we are 1 striker short. 1 man of our 25 man­ squad short.

    Sooner this is done .. the quicker we can­ get in a replacement

  5. Its funny how money can change notice i have used the­ word money, Tevez from Hero to Zero

    From Lubov, on Wed 25 Jan 8:18

  6. I hope they can let him go now. Its gone on long­ enough. They are never going to get along. I'm just­ tired of seeing it in the news

    From Optimiser, on Wed 25 Jan 7:14

  7. Tevez never knew money was not everything , man united­ was his dream

    From rose Moore, on Wed 25 Jan 7:10

  8. Mr Levy is doubtless too cautious for it ever to­ happen; but I bet Tevez could play perfectly happily at­ White Hart Lane. The fundamental truth is that­ self-opinionated autocrats rarely make for good­ man-managers.

    From Stephen, on Wed 25 Jan 6:55

  9. Tevez is home sick..he"s pining for old­ trafford..lol.

    From granddad pops, on Wed 25 Jan 6:21

  10. Whatever team buy Tevez will regret their decision. He­ is no good for any team.

    From Tamer, on Wed 25 Jan 6:12

  11. Chris W, better you go to HELL, not Tevez

    From Bakar, on Tue 24 Jan 21:30

  12. I bet he wants him out, he only has 11 days to buy­ someone new and he needs the cash. Unfortunately 25­ million doesn't appear to be enough money for our­ greedy Italian

    From Dr Graham J Smith DD, on Sat 21 Jan 4:56

  13. Get rel #2, you obviously have no clue what you are­ talking about, Tevez has brought all this stuff on­ himself, nobody else even at Man U too. Mancini a­ failed Prem manager? He has won the FA Cup, he has got­ them into the Champions League, and far in other­ competitions, he has got them 1st in the Premier League­ and stayed there for a long time all in 18 months, how­ that is a fail I'll never know.

  14. Comment hidden due to its low rating. Show

    Mancini has not come out of this affair very well.­ Tevez is an excellent player who had no problems on­ this scale at either West Ham or Man U. It seems likely­ that both player and manager are equally to blame and­ the owners are not likely to forget how much money the­ row has cost the club. If Man City do not win the­ league I think Mancini will be on his way back to Italy­ as yet another failed Prem manager.

  15. Tevez can go to HELL.
