Tevez: Striker is expected to return to Manchester City

Tevez: Striker is expected to return to Manchester City

Tevez has not played for City since September since his now infamous refusal to warm-up during the Champions League defeat away by Bayern Munich.

He has spent over two months back in his native Argentina and saw a move away from City in the January transfer window fail to materialise.

The 28-year-old is expected to return to Manchester in the next few days and Mancini is prepared to welcome the forward back into his plans.

Mancini is willing to speak to Tevez and the City boss believes the former Manchester United man can be involved in the club's push for honours.

"Everyone knows Tevez is a top player and it probably would have been better for us if he'd been here," said Mancini.

"Carlos has the ability to change a lot of games. If he comes back next week, maybe he can help us in the last three months.

"I don't know if he is in good condition or not. I don't think so because he hasn't played for four months. But Carlos recovers strength very quickly.

"Carlos knows the situation. If he comes back, we talk. Why not? I don't have a problem."

den Hazard, def. - 1) that girl in a club who makes eyes at you all night, who allows you to buy her a drink and walk her home arm in arm, who then gives you a suggestive kiss on her doorstep before declaring how tired she is and how she has to be up early the next day. 2) A cock tease.

h how I wish RVP could enjoy a similar moment. Hats off to Drogba. One of the best strikers in the Premier League Era. All that diving, play acting is forgotten because he wore his heart on his sleeve and proved his worth.

oodbye old chum. For some reason i always had a soft spot for Manual. I think it was because he had the gumption to bleach his head blonde while being in his 30's. Gotta love somebody that ridiculous.
