Is Carlos REALLY Leaving?
TheRonaldo7 (Real Madrid) 3 years ago
Carlos Tevez broke down in tears as he waved an apparent final farewell to Manchester United supporters, following the goalless draw with Arsenal that clinched their third successive Premier League title. He had earlier told Argentine TV: "I know that I am not going to continue at Manchester United. "

Joshy17 (Manchester United) 3 years ago
As a MU supporter, I hate to see him go. But if I'm in his shoes, i'll choose to leave from a club who doesn't appreciates me

Prbably is going to
Syraph (Real Madrid) 3 years ago
It really seems like he's going to leave...
Nitro (Barcelona) 3 years ago
He is such a great player though.... I'm sure he can adapt to the style of any team he decides to go to. 10x better than Dimitar Berbatov!
Agspiratos (Panathinaikos Athens) 3 years ago
No
Nitro (Barcelona) 3 years ago
No about what?
Ellada10 (Olympiakos Piraeus) 3 years ago
Berbatov is better than tevez
StrikersMT28 (Seattle Sounders) 3 years ago
I dunno, Berbatov is great with the ball at his feet, but he's so slow that he barely gets it
SergioRamos (Liverpool) 3 years ago
Not Really. The Contribution Of Tevez is immense compared to berbatov. Beby Might be Techinquly More Gifted But Tevez is Much Better as a player
Nitro (Barcelona) 3 years ago
Ye thanks sergio that's exactly what I meant
Dali (Manchester United) 3 years ago
I don't like Berba. I would rather see him leave than Tevez. I agree with you Nitro
Nitro (Barcelona) 3 years ago
Thank you.... Purely 'cause of the amount of work rate the guy has, berba is still good but he's just chillin most of the time
JohnnyG (Manchester United) 3 years ago
Berbatov's technical skill is almost unmatched by other players on United, some of the passes and dribbling techniques he has used this season are simply magnificent. He will adapt more and more and become a part of the team, but I will definitely be sad to see Tevez leave.... I hope by some miracle he stays
Forakewc (Manchester United) 3 years ago
I'm just heartbroken we won't get to sing to him anymore after those spectacular goals he scores.

"Fergie, sign him up!"
The mighty Carlos Tevez signed a contract for West Ham//
But he left the hammers crying because it was a f***in sham//
Then Fergie called him up and said, 'You wanna be a Red? '
And this is what he said...

Tevez -
"I feel that they have lacked respect towards me. It's not about whether they pay £5million more or £5million less, but I feel I have been badly treated.

"There are ways in which the club is managed that I don't understand. When you don't agree with the manager in how the club is run.... I don't have faith in a lot of things that happen here.

"I've been here for two years and the directors have never come to speak to me. Not once have I had a meeting with them.

"Therefore, it's best that I leave the club so as not to clash with (manager) Alex Ferguson and the directors. Neither do I understand why I don't play in the team.

"I've asked (adviser) Kia (Joorabchian) not to speak to me about offers during the next 10 days. I want to concentrate only on the final matches that we have to play.

"Afterwards, I've got a month to take a decision and choose where to go."

Tevez was tearful as he waved to the fans after Saturday's 0-0 draw with Arsenal, which sealed United's third successive Premier League triumph.

"It's emotional," he said. "I like Manchester and I like the fans. But maybe it is goodbye. It is very difficult."

David Gill -
"I haven't seen them, I haven't read them. I don't think it's right to do these negotiations through the press.

"If he's said that I think it's borne out of frustration but he's got to understand, and I'm sure his advisers understand, these are big decisions to be taken, large amounts of money, and I think the timeline isn't quite as quick as some people would want it to be.

"If I speak to him in the dressing room or at the training ground he's always very personable and friendly and I think that's what we have at the club."

Big, big shame if he leaves, English football needs players like Tevez, less motivated by greed and more by football.

Tevez - "In the two years I have been at Manchester United I have read that I have asked for '£6 million, £9 million, £12 million, £1 million, £2 million'. But I have never, ever asked David Gill or Alex Ferguson - nor have I had any meeting with anyone about my contract - for money. Therefore when I sign for another club if anyone says 'it was impossible for Carlos to sign for Man United because he was asking for too much money' then it is not true. I know that maybe after, when I leave, people will say 'he left for money' but listen, no. Be very clear that there has not been one single meeting about my personal contract"

Adebayor - "If it is not because of money I would not be playing for Arsenal Football Club. If it is not because of money I don't think I would go to Arsenal to play"

Adebayor (Tottenham Hotspur) 3 years ago
Rofl so if I taken out 1 word from that sentence I said like not from if it is not because of money, I would be a good guy? Junk
Andy (Rangers) 3 years ago
Don't understand what you are getting at but that quote is from a mail article last week. They posted some of the audio as well.... Link: i.dailymail.co.uk/mp3/adebayor_12_05_2009.mp3...

My point is the Premier League is sadly swamped by players who are driven hugely by money and they unashamedly admit it.... Tevez is a tad refreshing in the fact his passion for playing the game over-rides selfishness....

Or maybe you think Adebayor was misquoted and Tevez is lying?
Adebayor (Tottenham Hotspur) 3 years ago
I'm not sayin anythin is wrong. Wad I'm sayin is adebayor is a bad guy and tevez is a bad guy being good which is all the same thing. At the end of the day, it does come down to money and fame
RonanKnows (Arsenal) 3 years ago
