Carlos Tevez joined WHUFC in 2006, that's 5yrs he's lived in England. 4 of which he's spent in Manchester. On a recent Argentine chat show, Carlos Tevez stated that he 'despised living in Manchester because there was nothing to do.' He claims he cannot understand films at the cinema and has to take a translator. 'There's only 2 restaurants in Manchester' (have you been to Rushholme Carlos or did your ambition stop at Burger King and McDonalds?) He favours Italian restaurants because the language barrier is less obvious. Well here's an idea for you Carlos - LEARN ENGLISH!!!
Seriously, I cannot believe that the guy has lived in this country for all these years without even learning the language. Had I been putting his contract together, part of his personal terms would have been that he needs to attend a language course and grasp basic english within the first 6 months of his deal. Simple really. How can you expect to work (and settle) in a country when you've shown no interest in learning the language? Lazy and disrespectful. I've known soldiers go out to Afghanistan for a 6 month tour of duty and learn the basics so they can A) communicate with civilians B) understand threats against them. 5 years? What's his excuse?
If he understood English, he'd be able to go to the cinema (are we to believe that he doesn't have his own big screen with Spanish DVD's at home?). He'd be able to order in restaurants and make friends outside of the club! What a joke.
'I'm homesick. There's nothing to do in Manchester.' This coming from a guy who was brought up in Fuerte Apache - one of the roughest areas in the Ciudadela with crime rates that make Moss Side look favourable. He may be a great player but with a questionable attitude like that do City want to build around such an embarrassing individual? Go!!!
He's been disrespectful to Utd, City and the population of Manchester as a whole - I don't understand why anyone would want him in the country anymore.

==========================
Why should he learn English just because he lives in England? It's not like the hundreds of Britons who move to Spain every year learn Spanish...

As for Dennis, is this the same tevez thats a headless chicken an will only score 5 goals a season that you told us about after you failed to sign him up, you can certainly be depended opon to Cary on making bitter remarks about tevez, it still gets to you rags to this day doesn't it, about money then, do you believe Rooney Signed for love of the club and not the whopping great pay rise you gave him "he needs the money for hookers and hair gel" if Hernandez gets this treble his current salary to keep him out of real Madrids clutches will you say he's there for the love of the club and not the money?

Denis that may be the case, but at least he puts a shift in while he is doing it. How many others can you say the same about?
---------------------------------------
Erm, pretty much every United player.
If your only requirement from a player is putting in a shift then your in trouble.
You lot can defend Tevez all you like, if your happy to have a guy who loved the club slate the city in which it's based after spending 4 year in it and still unable to speak a word in English, then your welcome to him.
As for the comments about Hernandez, what has he got to do with Tevez? Hernandez has been here for less than a year, speaks English, Spanish and portugueas, plays football with a smile on his face, scores some fantastic goals and hasn't mentioned once wanting to leave or maoning about the food .........................................................................................
Yes he's exactly the same

Missed my point Dennis, not really suprised!

If Hernandez is at man u for the love of the club then why would you have to treble his salary to stop him going to Madrid? Can't wait to see how your man u logic explains that!

It's not like you to make one!
Yes I noted it, but who cares, it aint gonna happen he only signed last year, he might get an increase (he deserves one) after what he achieve in his first year but it won't be to keep him away from spain

Then why give it, surely he plays for the love of man u, or is it that he like others is interested in money!

I moved to Spain and lived there for 5yrs. I took a basic Spanish course in my first few months and was fluent within 18 months. I would never have expected the people around me to have to try and translate or accommodate because I simply 'coouldn't be bothered' to try and communicate with them. There may be thousands of English workers that head over to Spain every year, but they largely work in bars, clubs and restaurants in holiday resorts where they have little need to speak Spanish. They are employed by English ex-pats and return at the end of the summer season.
Carlos Tevez has committed his future to Manchester City football club and has lived here for 5yrs. Your attempted comparison doesn't bare any similarity. When McManaman went to Real, he learned the language. He stayed on and enjoyed his time there. Owen didn't and returned with his tail between his legs before joining NUFC.
Footballers are paid ridiculous salaries. The least they can do when committing themselves to a contract is learn the language of the country they are living in. City have to take 50% of the blame here though. Had they made it compulsory for all players to learn English they wouldn't find themselves in this mess. However - out of all the different nationalities City have on their books, only one - Tevez - is making an issue about it. Obviously the others have made the effort to learn English so they settle in a country prepared to pay them huge amounts of money for their services. Carlos - GO HOME!
