Graeme Souness & Mark Hughes On Carlos Tevez For His Refusal To Play.

[mrfmp2000]

10 minutes ago I read an article..... Tevez has been named in city's 25 man squad and Mancini said he WILL play for city again

[Trnze4Life]

if ya earn the amount of cash they get for just playing even its for 30min ffs go on and play like ya are worth every penny..but instead some gets to cocky...what an asshole and jerk of a player can ya be?

..dissgrace to everyone who is serious about proffesional football and souness is yet again hitting the nail on the head. mancini has the balls to take out ego players because they don't need selfish people! rightly so

[lewkev23]

any team that picks of tevez is a fool,what he did to man city he'll do it to them...fucking tosser

[EB20111]

fuk tevez!!

[TagorbeTagged]

@johnyftm fuck you la! Carlos Tevez is one of the best strikers in Man City but it's becos the manager doesn't allow him to play often so he gets quite pissed!

[Walkerman404]

@TagorbeTagged they dont need him, he cant even speak english after 5 years in the country

[jonnyftm92]

get in there souness lad a true football legend, tevez is a disgrace to football fuck off back to argentina you burnt holy neck twat!

[Villa7711]

Well he did a very stupid thingg but calling the guy a "disgrace" its pathethic,I mean you all forget how Tevez was the main reason city play in CL and he is still a very good palyer

[mattpark72]

Who's the sub next to Tevez (not Nasri) who Tevez is 'confiding' with. Seems to be the ugly brats mate.

[DynamoChickenKiev]

@mattpark72 Pablo Zabaleta

[SuperSjcproductions]

good on ya graeme. an accurate description of an argentine twat who should have stayed at the devils and who still can't speak english despite being there since he joined west ham.

[ddboyist13]

Why is Souness getting sued for saying exactly what everyone thinks of Tevez??? Compensation from Tevez to Souness more like it for putting the truth out in the open.

[scousefs]

Weak excuse coming from Hughes. What a wanker!

[MrG1BBY]

Ha ha...Souness is getting "Soued" lol!.

[Jimina743]

that's why hughes is loser and souness is winner

[lilmatty993]

hughes needs to fuck off out of football

and souness..wow. i always agree 100% with everything you say and im a chelsea fan

[Gombeboy]

@lilmatty993 Remember how disgusted he was after THAT Barcelona semi final. Souness talks a lot of sense. He is a great pundit, he knows his stuff and he knows how fans feel. As if Souness is getting sued for this. It's only an opinion.

[lilmatty993]

@Gombeboy cannot forget it. his frustration calmed me down a little cause what he said was going to go public. and as you said its only his opinion, and im pretty sure we have freedom of speech? what about the defamation city have recieved due to tevez not wanting to play? maybe that selfish runt should get sued

[LuckynumberSlevin11]

Souness getting sued by Tevez. OMG

[a1974h]

Souness is my favourite pundit.

Hughes sold his soul there

[pwalker32]

Hughes and Tevez share the same agent, Kia Joorabchian. Quite obviously he has a vested interested which he is not disclosing here.

[Alexyohomeboy]

wtf he was pressured, if my team was losing i would be pressured too so stfu because your not the one playing out there

[lamismadeochodias]

he's one bad apple.

[mummypippy]

I brought the new Carlos Tevez dvd last night "wont fucking play" ! ! ! ! ! !

[pincheeddie2000]

he loves to play!! but, not for macini, he deserves a better coach and a better team!! 

[natureboyinyourface]

souness should get off his high horse,he's no saint.

[Shaftsus]

@natureboyinyourface no, but he's the best and most fair pundit on sky sports - and unlike Tevez he has always respected his manager and club.

[guyb99]

Good on Souness and shame on Hughes and Yorke for trying to defend that spoiled, spitefull little Goblin Tevez

[harbros1]

Yorke didnt want to say too much because Souness would kick his arse again

[1987Liono]

Souness is getting the fire from the Irish panel team on RTE. Not these damp squids.

[salamattamalas]

Souness,is always honest.Hughes know's nothing

[YouKnowYouWanna85]

Nice one Champagne!

[LUMIXG3]

FUCKING SCUM CUNT PIECE OF SHIT ON A SICKENING TWO HUNDRED AND FIFTY GRAND A WEEEEEEEEEEK!!!!!!! I FUCKING HATE HIM.

[celtic035]

Even though I'm a Celtic fan, I love when Souness is on the Champions League shows, A lot of the time he's the only one giving a strong opinion one way or another. as opposed to the other  "I can understand Tevez, but I don't condone it.." Rubbish.

[irishdan2007]

@celtic035 you should watch the matches on the irish channel rte 2, the pundits slate the players big time, give out about everything,

[TheFridge2916]

He needs the shit kicked out of him by his teammates the arrogant twat.

[MrJonny1004]

souness is right he is one bad apple, if i was mancini i would let him rot in the reserves and make him train by himself if he doesnt show fine him his wages, make an example of him. He does epitimise what is wrong with the modern day footballer, an absolute disgrace

[20Mar1boro]

@MrJonny1004 was there any proof that tevez refused to play in the end?i know he got fined but what proof was there? 

[Rsunited90]

@MrJonny1004 So true

[Dislike2011]

Hear hear. Disgrace. These fans pay £2,000 to travel to Germany, making huge sacrifices to themselves and their families tgo support their club. I hope FIFA say Man City can sack him and he is not allowed to sign for another club for a year or so. If not, let him rot, the Saudi's don't need to worry about the money.

[mattpark72]

@Dislike2011 . £2000 to get to Munich. Did they go via Saturn ???

[Dislike2011]

@mattpark72 if you think outside the both and do the math on the trip i.e. ticket, accomodaiton, travel, etc you'll get there...

[kady7869]

Yorkie and Hughes must have splinters on their arseholes from sitting on the fence.

[SickPuppyBeatz]

Hughes, what a fucking rat - same agent as the twat.

[MUFC777FELIX]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA, Fergies best transfer move ever. Jesus fucking christ, the massives always good for a laugh.

[JohnAdams198805]

i argee with Greame Souness he had the experience with craig bellamy at newcastle he can speak from his experience too as manager but souness i argee with u 100% about tevez he hasnt learnt english proberly at all even i hate him even more now coming from a man utd fan

[leeiszico]

Souness...best pundit on British telly by an absolute mile!!

[thegeezerdan]

Graeme souness is spot on in my opinion the geezer is one bad apple and he will only cause trouble at man city if he stays there.

[MyMufc1999]

Cunt

[73KJC]

they should put him in the reserves and not pick him for the remainder of his contract. let the cunt rot, they can certainly afford to do that

[balearicsoundwave89]

if it were any other job,he would be sacked,or at least be docked. iv been city since 89,and now ,the way things are ,its turning into a joke.what price,pride. they have got to back mancini,and let mancini stamp this shit at city out.

[asawidz]

"Mark, you signed him..." awkward

[MegaTrainspotter]

The bubble will eventually burst on 'footballers' wages.Crowds are going down,clubs are going bust and the bigger clubs? well the clock is ticking..

[TheBillycasper]

Let him rot training with the youth team for a few years. Overpaid prick.

Never mind the fact he looks like he's been bobbing for apples in a deep fat fryer.

[ii1998]

its tevez choice.He decides whether to play

[toffeeman7177]

Spot on there souey couldn't agree more.

[Mrzzamora]

Mark Hughes and Carlos Tevez share agents.

Mark Hughes and Carlos Tevez both walked out on clubs.

Anybody seeing a connection here?

[gavl4rr]

souness has hit the nil on the head here.tevez is whats wrong with the modern day player.

[MsFuturestar1]

I could listen to souness all day. Great fella And Mark Hughes my former fav Man U player, He's like Keano never a good work to say about Man U. Tevez is a disgrace get rid .

[IrishDub18]

NO, shut the fuck up souness.

its not all about a fat contract, and playing for man city and all the other crap he blurted out. we constantly hear managers say they dont want a player who doesnt want to be there.

this is the example, man city have themselves to blame, holding tevez ransom

listen to his contradiction, saying "they tried to sell him but noone reached the amount", then saying "its not about money they can take the hit wth him". why didnt you say that during the summer, u tool

[fludklat]

Tevez is one of the only players who i have ever seen who ALWAYS gives 100 percent on the pitch. Single handledly kept west ham up . Wanted to play for united so bad but fergie kept on starting berbatov infront of him how would you feel ? (and i support united)he argueably got city into the champions league , kept mancini in his job and he's on the bench ? People have to realise that footballers are humans and money isn't everything . Look at all the celebs that have commited suicide. HE'S HUMAN

[thisorfootball]

@fludklat still a cunt.

[fludklat]

@thisorfootball I Agree but I would be too , he's human

[RPFS2008]

0:56 Zabba ignoring the cunt :)

[RPFS2008]

Respect to SOuness.

I'm a City fan who has been very grateful of Tevez's performances over the last 2 years. He's played the best stuff of his career in a blue shirt but there's no going back now. He is the biggest cunt in the world of football. I can't wait till the next game. Forza Manchini! CTID

[RPFS2008]

@RPFS2008

*Mancini

[fludklat]

Just because you are a millionaire doesn't mean you are not human. MONEY ISN'T EVERYTHING . think of all these celebs that have commited suicide . Tevez is a human HE HAS STATED ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS HE WANTS TO GO BACK HOME. But city have no let him

[rdsnuke]

@fludklat - UNFORTUNATELY FOR YOU. TYPING IN CAPITAL LETTERS DOES NOT MAKE YOU CORRECT.

Tevez wanted to break his contract and go home. Despite being the lucky guy that he is. But despite that. City agreed. He was going to sign for Corinthians but the deal fell through because they couldn't finalize the deal in time of their transfer window.

And for Tevez. No Argie football club except Corinthians can afford to pay his £250,000 a week wages.

I suppose you can't have everything in life eh?

[lilmatty993]

@fludklat of course city have not let him go back home, he might be human but their are rules in football. he signed a multi million dollar contract to play for a club. he should have sorted all his problems out BEFORE he signed this contract. city dont have to let him go because hes human, what kind of a business decision will that be? if im locked in to a contract at work and i hate it i cannot just leave, i have to wait for the contract to run out. same applies here so please stfu

[mdj2010]

The guy is a moron. He has been in England for a long time now and still made no efforts to learn the damn language, that isn;t exactly going to help you feel at home. If he misses his family that much,why doesn't he just have them move here? If they would rather not,then i can only guess that they don;t miss him to the same extent. If you don;t like the country, you have had plenty of time to make that decision and leave at the right time. He didn't like manchester, so left utd for City: Idiot!

[MRTTVD]

united got rid of him at the right time, he's been a cunt ever since

[Bigmattyboi86]

Well said souness, for someone who works 60 hours a week and struggles to get by i find "the modern footballer" a disgrace, they think they are so hard done by, what a joke, they earn in a week more then i will earn in 7-8 years, tevez your an argie kunt.

[zoso7889]

Hughes is just bitter that Mancini is doing a better job than he could do.

[Deesade86]

A bit suprised that Hughes is making excuses for him. Souness is completely right.

[RPFS2008]

@Deesade86

He signed him and shares the same gobshite agent.

[theresnohulkamaniacs]

grade A CUNT, fuck off you burnt midget

[ev3nflow]

well said souness, and fuckoff hughes...

[GriefTourist]

tevez shirts on your guy fawkes on bonfire night fellow blues

[mancity1000]

Dwight Yorke and Mark Hughes aren't much better than Tevez for defending him to be honest. Get rid of those two I say.

[cronaldo7701]

mark hughes and carlos tevez have the same agent, kia joorabchian, hence why hughes defends tevez

[sternumagnum]

Well, I'm Chelsea all the way but kudos to the scouser for speaking the truth and putting things right -- and a big boo to ol' Sparky for not coming down on Tevez like a ton of bricks. Come on, Hughes, would YOU like it, as a manager, if one of your players showed such disrespect? Even if he was your best player? If you're OK with such behavior, you have no business being a manager, sorry.

[MrHumbot]

He has made waves at every club he's been at, from Corinthians to Man City. If he couldn't kick a football he'd be dead by now. Himself and kia joorabchian are vile.

Tevez - tengo un mensaje para ti - Que le den!

[BadBrainsTHFC]

I think Hughes defends Tevez as they both have links to Kia Joorabchian who must be behind a lot of this mayhem.

[BadBrainsTHFC]

Top comments from Souness.

[umfoofoo89]

Graeme Souness is so right. It would take me over 16 years to earn what that cnut Tevez earns in 1 week. I can't explain how much I hate him! Greedy ugly twat!!

God help the team who he goes to next!!

[MuseLuver]

I don't like Graeme Souness but I was agreeing with him on this. Mark Hughes trying to understand Tevez in 10 minutes, it's taken me just about over 10 hours... Good or Bad?

[3rk4u]

oh and citys treatment of mark hughes was just as disgracefull,if u shit on people they tend to come back and bite u.

[munkayman5]

Suprised Souness got it so right! Fair play for speaking his mind and not sitting on the fence. Regardless of whether he was going to make a difference or not (in his eyes) he should have acted like a man and been professional. What a scumbag.

[3rk4u]

tevez isnt refusing to play because of selfishness hes refusing to play because of mancini decision to put on 3 holding midfeilders,hes saying theres no way im going on to stop any more damageim here to score goals,what can he do without any service,mancini.s team selection and subs were bizzare,but tevez had no right in doing what he did,and hes time is up,the discipline at city is shite,mancini needs to stop putting up with this bullshit,dzeko was just as much a disgrace as tevez

[t0v3]

@3rk4u It doesn't matter if City had 10 defenders on the pitch. If the manager asks Tevez or any player to go on and play, then the player should go on and do his job without questions. He gets paid vast sums of money to play football for City, the fans pay their hard earned money to watch and support their team, and Tevez shown a complete disrespect to everyone involved with Manchester City. There is NO defence for it

[3rk4u]

@t0v3 agree im not sticking up for him im just trying to explain his reasons for doing it,still no excuse tho,and i totally agree his actions were unprofessional,i believe theres 1or 2 bad eggs in there aswell who need sorting out,we must have total togetherness as a team if were going to make real progress.

[VoltagE1337]

sad, for them :)

[TheSquire1888]

FOR ONCE SOUNESS IS CORRECT

[whitmorekid]

Im a United fan but i must say the way Tevez has treated the city fans and mancini over the last 12 months is disgraceful, he does care about anyone but himself, he doesnt even have the fucking time to learn english and he's been here for over 5 years but seriously fuck him let him go where ever he wants to go because he's not irreplaceable and he's not a professional either.

[Demon1z]

He can do what he wants within his contract, there is nothing in his contract making him play. If Man City wernt so Tight and greedy and would of just sold him none of this would happen. If they want a player to play, make them sign a contract making them play.

[morklind]

@Demon1z by that token his club can do what they want. he signed for 250k a week - he can train by himself every day till the end of his contract.

[mclaarson]

tevez has now a very bad rep. He cut himself away from the fans and probably from eu top clubs.

[Billy22blu]

City thru and thru... Well said Souness

CARLOS TEVEZ CARLOS TEVEZ BULLET IN HIS HEAD (8)

[altocirrus]

Hughes tried to defend Tevez because he had bitterness leaving City years ago. He certainly wanted the club to go down in failure.

[twinnedwitherlangen]

Well said Graeme Souness, i could not have put it better myself. Tevez is a disgrace.

[andstric23]

Fucking Mark Hughes has to defend his buddy Tevez because they have the same twat of an agent, Joorachabian, what a fucking joke, Graeme should be the only one asked for his opinion on that show because he at least has the decency to speak his mind.

[GlastoEls]

Well said that man Souness. You hit the nail on the head.

[Daft4Punk]

i agree mr Souness, teves thinks he can do anything

[abcxyzy8123h]

tevez NEVER come to madrid

[ruideng111]

total fucking cunt tevez is. he had the opportunity to become a real legend for a club and he blew it because of his own over inflated self centered ego and completely lack of foresight. I hope that he does rot in the reserves and look back one day with regret that the fans that once loved and idolised him now wouldnt piss on him if he waso n fire.

[coxyefc]

he's a fucking disgrace, especially to those fans who travelled there tonight

[tizmond]

Well said Souness.

[ccfc104]

@tizmond shutup

[tizmond]

@ccfc104

or what.... you'll right another witty reply ?
