Joorabchian: We’re Not Talking To Other Clubs About Tevez - Republik Of Mancunia: A Manchester United Blog

The Tevez ‘saga’ rumbles on…

“I think we’ve made it very clear until now that we’ve always said he’s a Man United player and if anybody wants to buy Carlos or talk about Carlos they must talk to United,” said Joorabchian. “We’re not in the process of people trying to contact us etc etc. We’ve never entertained any conversations or chats with (other clubs) about him. The fact is that he’s got six months left on his contract and he’s happy to see that through and, as he has said, he wants to win the title again, the Champions League again. He wants to win an FA Cup and now even the Carling Cup so he’s very up for trying to get as many trophies as he can. He’s saying ‘I’m happy to continue doing what I do best. If I get a new contract and everything works out, fantastic. If it doesn’t, I’ll go to another club’.”

honestly,i dunno who to believe and who not to...I mean the apparent dig at fergie by carlito was picked up by the setanta website which i thought was quite reliable...But then this sneaky little snake comes out and denies it...so make up ur own minds....when the dust settles I just want carlito signed up permanently....22m more for a 24 yr old who has his best years yet to come is quite a sound investment...and plss dont go by the 5 yrs and i am back to boca thing...i mean many players say that time and time again...

Isn't it obvious? Joobrachim is trying to persuade the club to sign him.. Just think for a sec. Which over club is going to buy him for 32 mil quid? I doubt that even Real are going to do it..

Getting bored of this now. sick of Kia s games. The Sun reports this morning that United are about to "throw Tevez out of United for his comments about wanting to join the fascists" Unbelievable. He will be here till end of season so lets get on with it then review it in the summer.

Its sad to hear the press blowing this whole Tevez saga out of proportion. I hope we secure his future because he is frighteningly awesome. How i miss the the return of the "HOLY TRINITY".....Roo, Ron and Tev in attack. Berba is classy, breathtaking ball control, and unbeleivable first touch. Ask me about his energy level, moody attitude and a sulky face and i will give you a hundred explanations. We should have all of them in the dressing room. Is this to much to ask for??

I really get the impression that United are not going to be held to ransom over this . There is no doubt Fergie would have Tevez on the books now but there are issues with the circus surrounding him .

So we had the Ronaldo saga for months last years, now we have the Tevez saga. Bore off.

Utd should follow what he did with Ronadlo. Say nothing. Tevez will have to wait. The clud have said numerous times that something will be sorted out. Let it be.

Whether Utd buy him or not, Tevez is going to be playing for someone next season.

Message to Tevez - just get on with your football.

I still don't believe Tevez said those words. It didnt even happen over any interview, the report says Tevez called them! You don't call the newspapers to tell the world these kind of things! Unsettled Tevez may be, but I don't believe a word from that report. Journalism has just stooped to a new low

Lads, unless you actually see a video-clip of some of the "contestants" saying what they are actually quoted as saying, I wouldn't believe a single word of this. The press need a good United-themed story or two to sell papers, and most of this crap is probably written weeks ago anyway, in anticipation of the transfer window.

@Jake - spot on. Don't read The Sun

I dont think for one second Carlitos will be affected by this nonsense. He will still go out there and bleed for the club and hopefully, the fans will still sing his song and let him know that while the board might be fucking around, we all love him.

I just want to know how it got to this in the first place.

In Fergie's words (not exact but pretty much what I remember) when we signed Tevez, "we have agreed a future fee which we find very acceptable".

Now either Joorabchian is trying to squeeze a little more out of the deal and the club aren't having it, or we've tightened our purse strings since the Berbatov acquisiton and the fee no longer seems as acceptable for a player who won't be a guaranteed starter.

Either way, Joorabchian, Gill, and Fergie are all being dicks about it and look like they could drive Tevez away.
