Tevez breaks silence on 'comical' City stalemate
Carlos Tevez, Manchester City's truant Argentine hitman, is resigning himself to mooching about at the golf club for the foreseeable...
Tevez reportedly told German mag Kicker Sportmagazin that he remains hopeful of resolving the current stalemate with City - but meanwhile he'll be battering it round the links with pals.
He said: "I just see I think the whole situation has become almost comical. I wanted to leave City and had offers from clubs in other leagues, both Italian and Spanish.
"But in the end it all collapsed because City wouldn't accept any of the offers. They say at City that I cost them a lot of money and so they don't want to give me away on the cheap.
"But they don't want to loan me out, either. I really have no idea what will happen in the coming months.
"I sent City a letter in which I told them why I wanted to go. In the last few days I've also contacted the Premier League to appeal against the fine which City have imposed on me.
"I'm waiting now for an answer from the Premier League. Going to the League is the only option I've got right now.'
"I can see that but there's nothing I can do about it. There were offers from Milan, from Inter and from Paris Saint-Germain. But each time nothing came of them.
"But certainly there were interested people who wanted to see me playing football again.
"Everyone has to do what works for them. Barcelona are a fantastic club, and La Liga a fabulous championship. But what happened, happened.
"There is also a personal aspect to all this. I wanted to be closer to my family, above all my children who are and were in Argentina. And because I couldn't play any longer at City I took control of the situation myself."
It may be too much sun, but the little loafer hasn't ruled out some sort of reconciliation with City boss Roberto Mancini.
He said: "That [talking to Mancini] is something I would have to discuss with City's directors. Let's see what happens.
"Of course, what I want is to be playing football. But the way things are I have to make do with playing golf or making appearances like this coming Saturday, at the farewell match of my old friend Martin Palermo."
Let's hope Tevez and City can putt their troubles behi
