Carlos Tevez Hands In Transfer Request

Tevez unhappy with Mancini

Manchester City captain Carlos Tevez has handed in a written transfer request. Tevez has been unsettled at Eastland following the arrival of Mario Balotelli. Frustration showed last week against Bolton when Mancini took Tevez off as a substitute.  In addition, Tevez hasn’t settled in well with Mancini’s rotation policy.

The pair also had a half-time row during the 2-1 victory over Newcastle in October.

It has been a well known fact that the Argentinean star has long been unhappy with life under City boss Roberto Mancini. Tevez is rumoured to have told chief executive Garry Cook that he wanted to leave two weeks ago and followed it up with an official letter last Monday.

Tevez has expressed his desire to leave and now wants to force through a move to Barcelona when the January transfer window re-opens.

Tevez' reaction after being substituted against Bolton:

Carlos Tevez: I wanted Rooney to join City

Carlos Tevez: I wanted Rooney to join

Manchester City striker Carlos Tevez has admitted that he wished Wayne Rooney had followed him to the Eastlands ahead of the Manchester derby, Rooney contract talks broke down last month when the striker said he wanted to leave Old Trafford citing the lack of ambition at the club. City were heavily linked to move for Rooney. But Wayne signed a five year contract after meeting with manager Alex Ferguson and chief executive David Gill.

Carlos Tevez said, "Wayne is a player of great quality. He was a team-mate and a friend of mine at United and he's one of those men that is better to have on your team than against you.

"For me he is the best English striker of recent years. I would have liked him to come here, of course. But it was complicated for him to leave United. So we have to concentrate on our own game."


Tevez joined United's bitter rivals in the summer our 2009 and has never looked back since, becoming a fans favourite at City"
