Premier League - Tevez 'won't leave City this month'

Fri, 27 Jan 12:56:00 2012

Carlos Tevez's advisor Kia Joorabchian has claimed the striker will not leave Manchester City this month.

2011 Manchester City Carlos Tevez - 0

Tevez has been linked with a move to both Milan clubs and Paris Saint-Germain, but none have met City's valuation of the player, who now looks set to stay until summer.

“There have been negotiations with three clubs but they have not reached the figures Manchester City want," Joorabchian told TalkSport.

“PSG want to build a long-term project and I think Carlos is six months too early for them. But there is a big chance he will go there in the summer.”

The 27-year-old has not played since September, when he refused to warm up as a substitute during a Champions League game against Bayern Munich.

It was revealed this week that Tevez has lost £9.3 million in salary and bonuses after an extended and unauthorised spell away from the club in Argentina.

Despite the repeated claims from the Tevez camp that: "All Carlos wants to do is get back to playing football again," he is unlikely to play again this season having apparently burned his bridges with City manager Roberto Mancini.

  1. hairy_monster, having no money does not make you a­ small club either... Which is just as well for you sad­ rags at the Theatre of Debt. We are a big club, always­ have been and now we are a rich club too, capeesh.

  3. As a lifelong Man U and English soccer fan, in this­ instance i think Mancini has got it right. Tevez is a­ jumped up petulant fool, who thinks he is THAT good,­ when in reality, he just isn't. Even if he WAS that­ good, his behaviour as a professional is highly­ questionable at best, and downright disgraceful more­ likely.
    It's good that his behaviour is married to­ his current inaccessibility to our favourite sport.­ The game doesn't need this kind of nonsense.­ Players are paid unearthly amounts of money and that­ alone should cause them to perhaps be a tad more­ grateful.
    Tevez is anything but grateful.
    There are­ few clubs that wouldn't have cut their losses­ already, effectively handing back control to the­ player. But City haven't - it's good that their­ owners can afford to teach this guy a lesson. He's­ finished. He won't get any game time at city and as­ time goes on, his already questionable marketability is­ only going to be eroded. City's needs for his­ transfer will doubtless also get ever more eroded, and­ i hope they just keep him not playing ad infinitum.

  6. time this mercernary bought himself out of his contract­ and left this country and hopefully europe and obsurity­ as im sure mancini doesnt want him back

  7. haha, wasn't a case of united not being able to­ afford him, more a case of not wanting to play along­ with tevez and kia's money making game. he only­ plays well when he's looking for a transfer. west­ ham, only really played for the last 10 games,­ couldn't hit a barn door from 6 yards in first year­ at old trafford, and i'd say his treatment of city­ is criminal. as much as i don't like city, i admire­ their stance on this orrible little man. let him buy­ his contract out if hes so desperate to play. a bit­ like his desire to be near his family, was that before­ or after his daliance with another woman.

  8. once again the good doctor shows he hasnt got a clue­ what he is talking about, city never offered him 250,­ 000 a week to come to us, he was offered that after­ scoring 57 goals in 80 games for us, we bought him when­ united couldnt afford him, but united kept rooney when­ he held the club to ransem, wasnt it for 250,000 per­ week? oh yes but united earned the right didnt they­ doctor? after winning all those trophies with the money­ they spent in 2003 / 2004 140 million on 20 players­ which in todays market would be about 1 billion, united­ have bought everthing they have ever won since the late­ 60s, it took ferguson 6 years to buy the league, hope­ it takes mancini 2 years, im not saying we will win it,­ but if we do? what a fantastic achievement from a great­ manager, he got rid of all the hughes mongrels, and­ filled the squad with fantastic talent and spirit, so f­ u ck you doctor, watch and squirm

  9. gotta say so impressed with our chairman over his­ comments about ac milan, thought they could take the p­ iss after getting robinho for peanuts, well f u ck you­ boys we aint that small club anymore, were bigger than­ you now, so watch out we might just come calling for­ your best players now, and i really hope we take some­ of bayerns players too, that would be so sweet, shut­ them arogant german @#$%s up for good

  10. he only goes where the money are, doesnt care bout­ family doesnt care bout notihng. going from 1 small­ club recently gone rich to another one like that

  11. When Joorabchian says Tevez "won't leave City­ this month", it's only because no club are­ prepared to pay what City ask for a trouble maker who­ can't play in the Champions league as he's cup­ tied. After failed negotiations with 3 clubs now, the­ reality is finally sinking in. Tevez will either have­ to eat humble pie and come crawling back from Argentina­ or be left to rot for a few more months while his bank­ balance, value and golf handicap all reduce at record­ speed.

  12. bring him to the LANE , brilliant player

    From Peter, on Sat 28 Jan 6:17
  13. So sad to see - when is Tevez going to grow a pair and­ get rid of that parasite Joorabchian? He is reaching­ his prime and missing out on so much. 9.3m in lost­ salary - surely Joorabchian is hurting at that one - so­ why did he let him go home?

    From Tippidy Toppidy, on Sat 28 Jan 5:10
  14. who would want him at this point? a very, very good­ player, but on a squad that already boasts the biggest­ head-case in the game, he can't even grab that­ mantle. Tevez has buried his own career in his and­ his "agent"'s stupidity

    From shoo, on Sat 28 Jan 4:58
  15. Is he with City?

    Joorabchin says he won't leave­ when the loyal Tevez is where exactly?

    What will he­ say next?

    Carlos loves City. It's not the 9.3­ mill wages he misses, it's the fans.

  16. i mean @#$% is going on here? first he says he wants to­ go home, now kia is saying he doesnt want to go home,­ its all down to mancini, last year he said it was­ people behind the scenes, now he is saying it was­ mancini, they keep changing the storey, he is fantastic­ player no doubt, but all the balox that comes with him­ is just not worth the hassle, thanks for putting us on­ the map carlos, but please just f u ck off now, cause­ you are getting on everyones t its, you got well paid­ for your services, and no doubt you will get well paid­ again in the future, just hope its not with city,­ because of the disrespect you have shown to the club­ and its magnificent fans, who treated you like a hero

  18. A talented but very stupid player mis-represented by a­ self-opinionated idiot. Not a healthy combination.

    From David R, on Sat 28 Jan 3:10
  19. City should loan tevez to Liverpool .So they can beat­ United and Tottenham in order to win the league. If­ Liverpool win den City will be Six point clear of­ united. The city owners can give Tevez back his 9­ million.

    All city do is buy thugs and twats, but that's what­ you get when you try to buy the league, look forward to­ FIFA punishing these teams where there owners put the­ club in debt. If you want to buy a club then put your­ hands in your own pockets, this is suppose to be a­ sport rather than just a business.
