Carlos Tevez could make a sensational return to Manchester City to boost their bid for the Premier League title. The league's best striker last season has been in Argentina for nearly 4 months after falling out with manager Roberto Mancini ... Continue reading →

As the old cliché goes, history repeats itself. And this could not be truer come every February for Milan striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic. Whether at Barcelona or in the blue or red half of Milan, the ‘big' Swede's scoring record often leaves something to be desired at this time of the year. Goals, to be precise.

Manchester City's Carlos Tevez is one of the most maligned players in the Premier League at the moment, and Liverpool legend Steve Nicol recently argued that "the football world would think a lot less about Mancini if he does decide to let him come back". Nicol's former team-mate Mark Lawrenson seems to be a lot more forgiving though, and he believes Tevez could still play an important role for

The rumour mill may continue incessantly as it always does, but, for the time being no players will be swapping kits. Instead, now is the time for coaches to start preparing their troops, both new and old, for the business part of the season. It is already February and that mad month of May is [...]

Robin van Persie's on an English Premier League record-setting pace this season as his hat trick against a woeful Blackburn team on Feb. 4 upped his league total to 22 goals in 24 games. He's already eclipsed last year's Golden Boot scoring record of 20 which was shared by Manchester City's Carlos Tevez and Dmitar Berbatov of Manchester United and his own mark of 18 EPL goals.

Carlos Tevez has once again refused to enter a match after starting on the substitute's bench, this time during Martin Palermo's testimonial in Buenos Aires. Tevez, who has been frozen out at Manchester City since pulling a similar protest during a Champions League match against Bayern Munich in September sparked outrage from both teams taking part in the tribute to Palermo, a friend and former international teammate.

The 2012 January transfer window was a rather more sedate affair than it's 2011 predecessor. Money was spent much more sensibly this time around as opposed to being thrown around like a compulsive gambler who had hacked into a free bets website.

Manchester City striker Carlos Tevez did not get a move away from the Etihad and Manchester United did not break the bank to sign Wesley Sneijder.

The Tevez-Pato "will he? won't he" questions ricocheted every which way this January as the musical chairs transfers song played at AC Milan, but at the end everyone retook their own chairs. Boring. Perhaps they were dating Berlusconi's daughter, or were on £200,000 a week slave wages that no one else could match, but whatever the reason, that anti-climax will be followed up by a busy February and early March.

Ok, Probably that isn't quite true, however, it does feel like City are holding Tevez back from leaving sort of like a punishment for the embarrassment he has caused the club.

Speaking to Kicker magazine, Tevez (remarks which he later denied) Tevez was quoted as saying that he was keen on leaving this winter having received offers from Italy and Spain, but things did not work out due to City's hard stance.

U.S. prospect Alfredo Morales has not seen the field for Hertha Berlin since October, but that will not stop him from making his first-ever start in the Bundesliga this coming weekend.

Morales is slated to start at right back in place of the suspended Christian Lell when Hertha faces Hannover 96, according to head coach Michael Skibbe.

Last month, I conducted a survey on this site asking if Liverpool fans would be happy if the club signed Carlos Tevez, and over 63% of fans who took part in the poll voted yes. Liverpool legend Steve Nicol was asked yesterday if he would like to see Tevez at Anfield, and he gave a completely different answer.

Futbolitinos, the transfer deadline window is now shut! Seedy agents all became instant millionaires when "under the table" deals were finalized yesterday, including Coutinho's loan move from Inter Milan to Espanyol (above).

Some time in December, a story emerged in the papers linking Spurs with a move for Manchester City's Carlos Tevez. In truth, nobody really believed it but at the time, a ‘source' stated that it would be the biggest deal since Klinsmann.

In the end, we got a transfer that was reminiscent of a deadline day deal that happened a few years ago.

Speaking of Pepe, here's Crackovia's fake Pepe singing a parody of Michel Telo's "Ai Si Eu Te Pego" about stomping Messi.

Pretty much. Unless you're a QPR fan, nothing worth knowing went down. Though fake stories, false sightings of players on trains to [insert your city], and "Carlos Tevez to Aston Villa!!!" twitter hoaxes were in abundance. If you are interested, that's fine. Our friends at The World's Game summed up today's events succinctly enough.

The winter transfer window across Europe closed on Tuesday, and a number of teams -- not the usual big-spenders -- that were scrambling to fill vacancies and address needs for the second half of their respective seasons were able to add some valuable pieces to the puzzle.

Queens Park Rangers fall into that category, adding firepower in the form of former Lazio striker Djibril Cisse and Fulham forward Bobby Zamora.

Queens Park Rangers fall into that category, adding firepower in the form of former Lazio striker Djibril Cisse and Fulham forward Bobby Zamora.

Former Manchester City manager Mark Hughes has told the Premier League leaders that his Queens Park Rangers side can help them claim the Barclays Premier League title if they loan out-of-favor striker Carlos Tevez to the West London outfit.

Hughes has entered the bidding for Tevez's services after the links to both Milan clubs, PSG, and most recently, even Liverpool, broke down without significant progress.

The winter transfer window in Europe is set to close today, and teams are still scrambling to fill vacancies and address needs for the second half of their respective seasons.

While we don't seem likely to have any megastars making winter transfer moves, despite resurgent rumors of Carlos Tevez to AC Milan, there is still some serious talent changing addresses.

Speculation intensified over the weekend about a potential swap deal involving Liverpool's Andy Carroll and Manchester City outcast Carlos Tevez, and with the transfer window closing in about 15 hours, there's still time for a sensational (but improbable) deal to go through. Kenny Dalglish has insisted that Carroll is going nowhere, but what is Roberto Mancini's take on the issue?

There's a slim chance Carlos Tevez (in sparkier times above) will be joining Samuel Eto'o's Russian playground, Anzhi, before the transfer window closes at 12am tonight. But don't bank on it chicos! Milan, PSG and Inter all held discussions with him in the past months and everyone basically snapped their fingers and said "NO", except for Anzhi who're apparently willing to pay £15m for him.

Liverpool manager Kenny Dalglish has dismissed suggestions that the club approached Manchester City over the weekend with a proposal to swap Andy Carroll for exiled Argentine Carlos Tevez.

Carroll, who has struggled continuously with form and fitness since his £35 million move from Newcastle United in last year's January transfer window, recently spoke about his determination to make a mark at Anfield.

It was concerning to read that Liverpool were planning to offer Andy Carroll in a direct swap deal with Carlos Tevez at the weekend.

At £35 million it is quite clear as far as the best bookmakers are concerned that the former Newcastle forward has not lived up to what might have been expected of him at Anfield in the year he has been with the club, but it is important to remember that he is still young.

Earlier in the season, Former Liverpool manager Graeme Souness labelled Carlos Tevez a 'disgrace to football', and then, after Mario Balotelli's red card at Anfield, he accused the Italian of being an 'unreliable passenger'. Clearly, Souness doesn't like some of Manchester City's players (!

John Nyen on the enigma that is Sir Carlos Tevez

The man on the keyboards pounds out the rhythms to the beat as the two brothers swap verses.

Of the two front men, one is a skinnier kid, while the other is dressed in a soccer kit.

With just a day left in the transfer window, the normal last minute rush that has been so common in past years looks non existent with many clubs choosing to remain very quite in this January.

Carlos Tevez's big money transfer that we were all keenly looking forward to failed to materialise after City refused to back down on their €30 million buying price.

And so the Carlos Tevez saga continues linked to Inter, AC Milan, PSG, and now Liverpool. The club have apparently had a bid for Tevez rebuffed and hardly surprising given that they are rumoured to have offered Andy Carroll in a straight swap for the player.

I know Tevez is hard work and a bit of a cry baby at times, but I know who I'd rather have in my team, City would've been mad to do a like-for-like swap, although with the money at their disposal I doubt they'd really mind, plus Carroll can be decent when playing as a target man but I can't see that City would really need to resort to that with the quality of players at their disposal.

The subtext was Luis Suarez watching from the stand with Patrice Evra getting booed by the Anfield crowd and all the lovely chanting between the two sets of fans about the existence of racism. At the end, the Reds had the greater satisfaction of beating Utd, the second Manchester club to suffer at their hands in three days.

According to the Daily Mirror on Sunday, Manchester City have rejected an offer from ­Liverpool to swap Carlos Tevez for Andy Carroll.

According to the exclusive in the newspaper, Liverpool approached Man City's Football ­Administration Officer Brian Marwood with the offer 48 hours ago, just hours after beating the Blues in the Carling Cup semi-final.

Carlos Tevez's advisor, Kia Joorabchian is quoted in the English newspapers as saying that Tevez will not be sold in the January transfer window:

"We've been in negotiations with three big clubs but I don't think they have reached the figures Manchester City want. Carlos will remain at Man City until the summer.

Bayern Munich managed the remarkable feat of pissing off nigh-on their entire fanbase yesterday when a ridiculously misguided attempt at social marketing blew up in their Bavarian faces.

Yesterday morning, Bayern started circulating rumours on various social media sites of a 'big new signing' that was to be announced at 1pm that very afternoon on the club's official Facebook site.

Italian champions AC Milan have stated that they will be making a decision on signing Carlos Tevez today. Tevez who has been making headlines since he infamously snubbed Roberto Mancini's request to come on as a substitute in their Champions League fixture against Bayern Munich last September, remains AWOL in his native Argentina.

Milan transfer guru Adriano Galliani definitely knows how to work a bargain. Since 1986, when he started his long and prosperous career at the Via Turati, the man known as Uncle Fester has been the man behind the scenes. The one who has engineered deals that have seen so many of the world's best players [.

Arsenal have had a most unusual season of highs and lows. After a rough start to the campaign, the ship seems to have steadied. Robin van Persie is on pace for a record setting season; his 19 goals so far are only one less than last year's 20 scored by Golden Boot winners Carlos Tevez and Dimitar Berbatov.

A clearly angry Manchester City chairman Khaldoon Al Mubarak has ruled out Carlos Tevez's move to Italian giants AC Milan. Mubarak who did not mince his words during an interview with The National in Abu Dhabi.

Mubarak is livid with the way Milan have conducted themselves the entire time and have continually maintained that loaning him with the option of buying at the end of the season is not an option.

Manchester City striker Carlos Tevez has been found guilty of gross misconduct and fined six weeks' wages after flying home to Argentina without permission, a club source told Reuters. Tevez has been in Argentina since November as his agents try and negotiate a move to AC Milan.

City have obviously had enough of Tevez's antics and told Reuters:

"In response to speculation, the club confirms that Carlos Tevez was found guilty by a disciplinary hearing on 21 December of gross misconduct for serious breaches of contract and was fined six weeks' wages," the source said.
