Tevez goes AWOL
Is Carlitos Tevez on his way out of Corinthians? Following Sunday’s 1-0 victory over Botafogo in the Brasileirao, Tevez failed to turn up to training on Monday without providing Corinthians’ management with any indication of his whereabouts. In the wake of Sunday’s match, Tevez hinted that that may have been his farewell match for Timao.
Undoubtedly Corinthians’ best player of the past two seasons, Tevez has enjoyed an unhappy spell this term and has been targeted by the Sao Paulo clubs notoriously fickle fans for the team’s poor form so far which finds them in the relegation zone. After being booed throughout a recent match, he irked fans yet further by putting his finger to his lips in a “silence” gesture after scoring. This prompted some fans to threaten to beat him up unless he apologised. More recently he was involved in a training ground bust-up with team-mate Carlos Alberto. Despite the troubles, Tevez has still managed to improve on his goals to games ratio from last year with 15 goals in 23 games.
If Tevez leaves where will he go? The latest rumours say Milan who are in need of a forward following the sale of Sheva to Chelsea. But don’t rule out Bayern or Manchester United

Whatever team lands Tevez would benefit enormously from his abilities. Carlitos was the best player in Brazil last year, and was doing very well for Corinthians prior to the World Cup too. He seems to have been thinking about a transfer to an European squad ever since he went to the World Cup with Argentina, so after the tournament he hasn’t quite been the same (but once in Europe he’d certainly return to his old self).
Cheers,
Carlos

Are you guys on vacation?
The transfer market closed a few days ago, so much so that Corinthians dont even need to worry about Tevez any more (at least until next year)

Hi Dani - no holiday, no I wish, just the day job taking up too much time! As for Tevez I agree. Not quite sure what the deal is regarding him and Mascherano at West Ham, but can’t really see them staying more than a year..
