Oh Carlos, I Feel So Sorry For You

Not. At. All.

Mark Hughes has conceded that Carlos Tevez could well be denied a return to Manchester United as a knee injury has ensured the forward is a big doubt for the upcoming derby at Old Trafford on September 20

Tevez, who left United at the end of last season before signing for their city rivals, sustained the problem on international duty with Argentina and has already been ruled out of City’s home tie with Arsenal on Saturday.

Somewhere, Fergie laughs.


Joe Morgan Just Said “Two-Nil”

No, I am not kidding.

In other soccer news, Manchester City is apparently willing to make Samuel Eto’o the highest paid player in the world.

As a soccer neophyte, my opinion is hardly worthy, but…

Samuel Eto’o?

He seems like a mighty fine player, and the transfer fee seems to be a relatively pedestrian–for 2009–30 million pounds, but…

Samuel Eto’o?

He’s 28, and if Machester City also gets Carlos Tevez, they’re not going to be able to play Robinho, Tevez, Roque Santa Cruz and Eto’o at the same time, are they?

That seems like a disaster waiting to happen, and a situation eerily similar to the one that Tevez just experienced at United. Does this put Chelsea in the driver’s seat for his services?
