Reports claim Carlos Tevez now earning more than Yaya Toure
This is not the first time this season that a player has spoken about his desire to leave his current club and pursue pasture new. But, similar to Wayne Rooney before him, Carlos Tevez took a dramatic u-turn and refuted any claims about his highly-publicized
transfer saga just moments before Manchester City’s shocking 2-1 defeat to Everton at home.
City’s feisty top scorer—who so nearly scored a dramatic equalizer only to be denied by the superb American http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Tim-Howard-c35095 at Goodison Park—made his u-turn after frantic behind-the-scene consultations following the 26-year-old Argentine’s dramatic decision to
leave Eastlands just two weeks ago.
Today’s statement produced by City’s board said, "Carlos and the club are keen to focus on the opportunities ahead and his contract remains unchanged.”
Sir Alex Ferguson and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Wayne-Rooney-c36736 were saying similar things at Old Trafford a couple of months ago. Water under the bridge, sweep it under the carpet. Only at City, with Sheik Mansour’s Abu Dhabi billions to fall back on, this one was inevitable.
Man City boss Roberto Mancini praised the Argentine sensation, "Carlos is a world-class player whose contribution since he joined the club has been invaluable.
"I am pleased that we are now able to focus on pure football matters and to be able to look forward to Carlos continuing to play a significant role in the club's progress."

It was just 18 months ago when Tevez became Premier League’s best-paid player, leaving United amid posters proclaiming “Welcome to Manchester"
The success was instant. The man who saved West Ham and bolstered United has no problem on the field. He scored 29 goals in his first season at City but failed to save boss Mark Hughes. He’s scored 10 times in 18 appearances so far this term.
Initially, when that transfer request went in on 12 December, he said he was missing his daughters back in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Argentina-c2841. He said his relationship with "certain executives" at City had "broken down beyond repair."
Incredibly, the rift with City (if not his wife and children) is miraculously healed. And he’s got the captain’s armband back. Man City are currently level on points with second-placed Arsenal despite last night’s blip and are bidding to end United’s grip
on top prizes, they are backed by billionaire oil-baron from Abu Dhabi.
There are reports that the Argentine is now being paid more than the newly crowned top-earner in football Yaya Toure, who was lured from Barcelona by £220,000-a-week wage package offered by City. Surely not, the contract remains unchanged, insist City.
