The writing is on the wall for Manchester City forward Carlos Tevez who has become increasingly ostracized following his refusal to play during his clubs’ 2-0 defeat to Bayern Munich.
Premier League managers, international stars, pundits and journalists everywhere have moved to strongly condemn the Argentine’s actions and calls for the striker to be punished grow daily.
Even fellow team-mates have spoken of their disapproval.
“Carlos just didn’t want to play,” fullback Pablo Zabaleta told The Daily Mirror.
“All players have different characters and sometimes the decision is going to be very difficult for everybody because we have too many players, and we need to accept that sometimes we are on the bench.
“I know Carlos. Everybody always wants to play, and maybe it’s a difficult moment for him, but we need to be calm sometimes,” he added.
In light of the events, City’s top goalscorer last season now needs to strongly reconsider his position as an Eastlands player, as Manchester City coach Roberto Mancini can begin the process of jettisoning with his rebel forward.
Here are a few clubs where Tevez can go to next:
Corinthians
The obvious choice isn’t it? The Brazilian club looked to be the ones to put Tevez out of his misery after the Argentine publically stated his intent to quit the Etihad Stadium last summer.
Any potential deal eventually fell through much to everybody’s frustration meaning Tevez had to grit his teeth and claw his way back to Eastlands ashen-faced as he was stripped of his captaincy.
The 27-year-old had a stint with the club in 2005 and is adored by the clubs fans for whom he struck a great relationship with.
Paris St Germain
The French club have become the latest big name outfit to receive some financial doping after they were purchased by some monetarily-suped-up Qatari business men from the East.
With finances not being a hinderance and the prestige a club like PSG harbours, a move to the French capital seems viable for Tevez who will at least get to link up with fellow Argentine Javier Pastore with the opportunity of starting afresh.
Juventus
Former West Ham boss and Gianfranco Zola has urged Italian giants Juventus to make a move for the out-of-favour forward.
“The team that buys Tevez is doing a good piece of business,” the former Chelsea ace told Tuttosport.
“Someone like him can make a difference in a balanced league like the Italian. If someone can make a team champions, it is Tevez,” he added.
The only problem is that Tevez has a contract with Manchester City until the summer of 2014 and would be a very expensive purchase; and Juve are broke!
West Ham
Why Not? A drop down a division to a club where, once again he is adorned by fans, may be just what Carlos Tevez needs.
By moving back to the Hammers Tevez will be presented with the opportunity of coming back to London, be absolutely guaranteed first-team football, although admittedly the Argentine will be managed by a certain Sam Allardyce who takes no nonsense.
Retire From Football?
Clearly Carlos Tevez’s actions have garnered universal condemnation and left an almighty scar on his reputation within the game.
His actions against Bayern Munich coupled with his disruptive history at Corinthians for example, means that any manager will think twice before adding the Argentine to a roster of dressing room stars.
Throw in the enormous transfer fee needed to secure his services and what you have is the very real possibility that Tevez could be out of the game for a while. Enough to make him consider retirement altogether at the tender age of 27? It’s a possibility – believe us!
