I see, so he wanted a pay rise to begin with and I'd agree that $150,000 a weeks is an exuberant sum for any player. That all being said then, it's purely a case of him being a greedy git. It's not uncommon these days for players to demand for a pay rise. We just got Torres to sign a new contract where he'll be paid $110,000 a week. Wages are rising rather alarmingly each season because players now know there are employers willing to part with lucrative sums of cash. If Tevez is indeed in it just for the money, I'm sure he won't mind spending time on the bench. A certain Wiston Bogarde and Harry Kewell come to mind.
That all being said, he may end up with a huge smile on his face come end of the season regardless of how much playing time he gets. I believe that City have made a wise decision when they decided to sign proven Premiership talent and thus, have a fairly decent change of breaking the monopoly of the 'top four'. It would have been more obvious that money was the sole determining factor had he signed last year when they had no superstars in the side.
For me, it's the manner in which he left the club. He left on a sour note, presumably still fumed at the gaffer for his "lack" of starts and appearance. Unlike Ronaldo who express his gratitude to the club, Tevez bad-mouthed SAF which is unacceptable after he was given countless chance. I do think we tried to close down the loan deal before the summer break, but due to Kia involvement as well as greed that make it hard for the club to deal with himThat all being said, he may end up with a huge smile on his face come end of the season regardless of how much playing time he gets.
