OK, I went back and did my research. Assuming Tevez returns to England this offseason despite promising to never set foot in Manchester again….

Thank you for reminding me. The Community Shield…..another competition Carlos Tevez will likely never play in again.
He will play in the Community Shield by virtue of having won the FA Cup, though I'm sure he'd rather have won the league.

Great, but he'll never play in a Champions League game, let alone a Final so long as he's at City.
He has yet to play in a Champions League game, let alone a final as I predicted. If he returns this season he'll get the first one done, but still not the second.

I honestly find it hard to understand why ManU people would hate on Tevez because anyone who watched him play saw firsthand his desire and the fact that he left it all on the pitch.
Remember when you said that? Care to compare that with this new statement of yours?

i think the dumb ones are man city not tevez..he wants to leave..its been clear for over a year!!
having said that its been dissapointing to see th continues lack of professionalism..have lost my respect 4 him
sure..but i think you guys should eat some humble pie first! keep in mind i cant type too well.
Tevez led Man City to a title and they will be in the Champions L…
there are two different issues to me: his footballing skills and the person off the pitch… I was correct about his footballing skills (although in a weird twist not enough in my view for him to get callup to arg national side as there is not space) and his being a winner..I did not appreciate that the person was a bit less than i thought…probably because i was reading too much the argentine papers..since then things in his personal life and professional life off the pitch have led me to change my opinion..maybe i was a bit late to see things..
it is a fine line between on the pitch and professional life off the pitch.. but the other alternative is just to say "professional" and then he's a zero…and yet he scored a ton of goals and led man city to a title, CL..thats got to count for something… i THINK HIS RECORD AS A WINNER IS UNCHALLENGED unless all you care about is the CL
multiple titled with boca including libertadores and intercontinental cup over winner of cl (real i think)
titles with brazil club corinthians
almost singlehandedly kept westham in premier
titles with man u including cl
title with ma city that had not won in decades..
olympic gold (ok thats pushing it..)
and my main point was when people said that after leaving man u he'd never win anything well that he was a winner and you couldn't just discount that.. no matter what you think about the way he handles contract negotiations/personal life/rabble rousing.
the person though has been a dissapointmet…..much like most argentines…sad.
