They used to do it with Heinze too (look how that turned out).

I doubt there will be flags next season though. They will all be at Eastlands or Stamford Bridge

i used to like birmingham when they had zarate

I don't hate them, but I don't like them either. Boring to watch.

Joe Hart has gone there on loan so I might watch them a little bit.

How did Zarate get on last season ?

for Lazio amazing! 6th top scorer in serie a and scored in copa italia final

Carlos Tevez will join Manchester City on a five-year deal next week unless Chelsea match the £130,000-a-week salary on offer at Eastlands.

Tevez quit Manchester United on Saturday after two years at the club and the Argentinian is expected to sign for Mark Hughes’ ambitious side when he returns from a holiday in south America.

City and Chelsea have agreed to pay the £25.5m to secure the striker’s services, but Hughes has inched ahead after offering Tevez a guaranteed starting place in the team.

City bound? Mark Hughes has offered Tevez (above) a guaranteed starting place

Although new Chelsea manager Carlo Ancelotti contacted Tevez last week in an attempt to persuade him that his future is at Stamford Bridge, the player is convinced that City will soon be English football’s dominant force.

It is understood that he is motivated by the prospect of playing for another ‘underdog’, just as he did when he began his career with Boca Juniors in Argentina, before moving to Corinthians in Brazil and then the amazing season when he single-handedly kept West Ham in the Barclays Premier League.

Tevez, 25, has made it clear that he wants to join a club with a history of battling against the odds and City, who have spent decades in the shadows of their great rivals United, fit the bill.

It's looking good

Only city who would not be bothered by that tevez's agent greedy bastard. City have that huge money too spend. If i were the coach of some big team, i don't wanna sign him, simply because of his agent. Too bad though.

LMAO @ that artcile, is the last line made up or what? He made it clear he wants to join a club who has a history of battling the odds? This is the first I've heard of that.

 

[beef-supreme]

Wow +1
That article is ridiculous, certainly the last bit. Not just the last line. He began his career with Boca Juniors - so yeah he decided that of all places in the world he wanted to begin there, it was all his doing, and then when he went to West Ham (who were actually aiming high when he arrived, and were doing well too) he felt in the wind that he'd end up playing in a relegation battle. Of course ManU are also immense strugglers.

They aren't quotes from Tevez, but from his agent yesterday.

I think this is the interview. Link.

If it's not that one, it's the one he did with talkSport.

Reports say Tevez would be a City player. His agent said within the first week of July he would sign for a club as Tevez will be playing for the Pre-season matches for which ever team he joins.

 

[Galning]

Nice signing if he goes to City.

 

[diegomessi]

how is Boca and Corinthians underdogs??

 

[blueduck]

Corinthians were bottom of the league before Tevez went. That's what Kia said anyway.

 

[diegomessi]

but they are a big club in braasil... he led him to the title that year i remember how much corinthians was followed here bc mascherano and tevez and how much they were hated by the other fans in brasil because two argentinos were the best
