Tevez off to Juve

Apart from his shit attitude and astronomical wages, Tevez doesn't fit our 4231. He can't play as a lone striker and we want to play Cazorla in the hole.

I don't see Arsenal ever entertaining his astronomical wages.
I wonder what kind of money he was on when he was at United.

Before City came along, most news outlets and 'sources' had us offering him £125k a week in the permanent deal, so I can't imagine it would've been too far over £100k on the loan deal.

But it's one of those things we'll never know the truth of, because of all these appearance bonuses, goal bonuses etc.

If he was really earning £17m at City, you can see why the little fecker was fine with going to city, although I find that figure hard to believe.

Do you? He was playing from the left even with Wilshere out.

Yes, that was a tactical call by Wenger to play another CM to get results to get 4th. We'll be more expansive next season (in any case we aren't playing a second striker in the hole).

I don't think he knows what he wants to do with Wilshere yet in all honesty, it depends on where he plays first of all .

Wilshere should play in the CM pair not in the hole. He's good coming on to the play not so comfortable with his back to the direction of play (basically he's a midfielder not a forward).

Your right but I see Wenger not being sure yet anyways and that will affect how Cazorla is used.
 
good to see this scumbag leave.
Next we need Suarez out, and the prem is a much cleaner place straight away
 
Manchester to Buenos Aires is 6967 miles whilst Turin to Buenos Aires is 6909 miles. He's inching closer to home, just like he always wanted, the poor bugger.
 
I actually think City did well to get over £10m for him. Just a few months ago they surely would have considered cancelling his contract if Tevéz agreed to waive a significant portion of the pay-off and in just over 6 months time he'd have been signing for another team on a pre-contract so getting any significant fee for him is a win. Could be a good move by Juve but it all depends on whether he settles. He's already clearly on the decline in any case.
 
They turned down £20m for a player they didn't want and a player that didn't want to be there? I don't believe that for a second!

He sold his arse to Kia and the mafia, he farts to their tune.
 
City are now pretty dodgy in the striker departement. Dzeko isn't exactly brilliant and there's a possibility he could leave, and as wonderful a player Aguero is he's hardly a goalscoring machine.

Whatever striker or two City are looking to bring in now, they'd want to choose wisely.
 
City will miss the graft and desire Tevez brought to the team. Much needed in a team full of mercenaries!

"When asked about his club's interest in Tevez, Moratti told the club's official website: ''If you do something you don't do it as a joke, but because you think it can be a good operation.

''We've acquired information on how things are going, there's room to act, we'll see if we can do it or not. There are still three weeks left. It's not about being optimistic but rather seeing how things are.''
"

Figures quoted were €27m but obviously could be bullshit
 
Corinthians apparently offered a daft amount of money but then couldn't raise the finance, was a weird situation. It was well over £20million as well, from what I can remember.
 
Surely there's going to be some sort of figure which means that City will receive more money for the transfer over time? Yes, City don't really need the money from transfers because of how rich they are, and they may have been desperate to get rid of Tevez because of his prior actions at the club, but £10m for a player of his talent and ability, no matter how much of a dick he may be, is a really small fee. It also gives across a message that if they don't want a player hanging around that they're willing to budge for a small fee as well.

It's actually more likely they'll subsidise his wages: see Adebayor
 
Quite an interesting article by James Horncastle that speculates on the negotiation process & previous interest in Tévez. Analysis of the move comes after the quoted section.
Only six months earlier, Tevez, who was then on strike at Manchester City, had been very close to signing with Milan. He had been pictured with his agent, Kia Joorabchian, enjoying lunch with the Rossoneri's chief executive Adriano Galliani in Rio de Janeiro. The deal hinged on whether Alexandre Pato joined Paris Saint-Germain. Alas, he did not and decided to stay at Milan for another year. So the Tevez transfer collapsed.

Yet Galliani's interest in him did not. At least that's what he wanted us to believe. When reports began to emerge at the beginning of June that Juventus were seriously considering a bid for Tevez, he summoned journalists over to show them a text message. It was supposedly from Joorabchian. "Tevez is loyal," Galliani said. "He won't betray me."

His actions led some to wonder what Galliani's intentions were? Did this mean Milan were about to join Juventus in competition for Tevez's signature or was that precisely what Galliani wanted City to think? Was he simply trying to make the cost of the signing more expensive for a rival? It seemed like the latter, and if that really were the case, he doesn't appear to have been all that successful.

Why?

Because Juventus has done a great piece of business for Tevez. Much like Galliani in negotiations with City for Mario Balotelli, Juve general manager Beppe Marotta has reportedly gotten the price to drop, from €18 million to €15 million before an agreement was finally reached at €12 million -- €9 million up front with €3 million to come in performance-related add-ons.

How much Tevez will earn is the matter of conjecture at the moment. Juventus can't match his wages at City. The feeling is that he will have to take a pay cut. A three-year contract worth €5.5 million a season after tax is supposedly the deal on the table. Since goalkeeper Gigi Buffon renewed for less money in the spring, this would make Tevez Juventus' highest paid player and the second highest in Serie A after Roma midfielder Daniele De Rossi.

Decent deal all round. City get £10m plus £xxxx off the wage bill, and rid of a complete liability. Juventus get a good player who might be happier in Italy, albeit a player in the class below the best. Aguero is a better player with a better attitude.

Most definitely & even Maradona bein his Father-in-law doesnt seem to have swayed his good manner, which is hard to fathom.

I dont know if this is true, (but i thought it was pretty cool) Aquero didnt accept a boot sponsorship deal until the past few years (losin out on massive dosh) with anyone because he wanted to wear whatever boot that he felt comfortable wearing.

So, what he supposedly used to do was marker over the brand on the boot etc.. and he'd do that with several brands of boots dependin on the conditions of the pitch & with a new favourite boot more to the point. Could be bullshit, but its a nice story if true...

Could be, but that would mean he's changed, because he wore these last year:

Has it been mentioned that he's been given Del Piero's old number? If not, he has. I'm not bothered about squad numbers or anything, but it's pretty much exact polar opposites between a loyal club legend and a total scrote to wear the same number.

It'd be like Luis Suarez joining United and wearing 11.
