Tevez removes any doubt that his choice of club was simply to do with money......



Tevez: I spurned Real move chance
Carlos Tevez has revealed he rejected the chance to join former Manchester United team-mate Cristiano Ronaldo at Real Madrid.

Instead Tevez opted for a move to Manchester City after his extended loan deal at United ended, signing a lucrative five-year deal at Eastlands.

"Real made an offer but there was no agreement," Tevez told the Nation newspaper during a promotional visit to Abu Dhabi with his new club.

"There were talks about deals and agreements but in the end it was only City. They showed lots of interest in me and are intent on growing and signing big players.

"I am sad to leave United but I am excited to join City. I'm thinking about the future and I will grow with this club."

That's a bit harsh. In fact I'd say its completely untrue.

He'd probably have gone to Qatar if they'd offered more than City.

This is a bit old hat I know, but I wasn't able to get on a computer for a couple of weeks so I just sat there watching SSN, not sure whether to laugh or fume at the blinkered little twat.

Michael. In the last four years, you've started 58 league games for Newcastle. That's 58. In four years. On 100K a week. 58. In four years. That's it, keep saying it. Out of 152 league matches, you started 58. In four years. That's about 1 in 3. For a shite team, that got relegated in the end. What's more, how many of those starts were you actually fully match fit for?

Like a DFS advert. 'only 38 games' eh Michael? You handily throw in fleeting minutes off the bench into those 'appearances'. And that includes for England. And relate it to ' only 38 matches'. Jesus H Christ.

No words are needed there, you utter, utter anus. Other than utter, utter anus of course.

Yeah, yeah, of course - 'it's not fair because the injury fairy played the trump card and that injury counted double on top of the original injury which meant it counted QUADRUPLE and my Mum said so and then I got an inury again which meant it counted A ZILLION times, so'. There there Michael, there there.

418 total appearances for club and country is the most generous statistic I can find. Ah well, it's all true Michael, if you say so, give or take 100 games. Unless you think that having an operation counts as a game of course.

Hargreaves eyes Sept return
United midfielder on track with rehabilitation

Owen Hargreaves is aiming to hand Manchester United a boost in January as he steps up his rehabilitation from double knee surgery.

The England international has endured a miserable past 12 months after undergoing two operations to cure a tendinitis problem that has plagued him since his Bayern Munich days.

Although Hargreaves is to play no part in United's pre-season tour of the Far East he is expected to join up with his team-mates in Munich for the Audi Cup at the end of July.

Sir Alex Ferguson is happy with how Hargreaves' rehabilitation has gone to date and is quietly confident his injury nightmare could soon be behind him.

"I think we are looking at the end of September depending on how he reacts," said Ferguson.

"We are happy with his rehabilitation so far and while he won't be ready to play in Munich, he will train with the team"

Poor Heargraves, makes Owen look like the Iron man. Has had it tough alright.

[magpie seanie]

If Hargreaves is back and fully fit at the end of September that would be marvellous news. He really is top notch.

[EC Unique]

Would be a massive boost to get him back. Like a new signing at this stage. I would have my doubts about September and when a player comes back after such a long lay off other problems can arise.
