Apparently, our current bid seems to be 27 mill to Man City (and 6 mill yearly to Tevez) as opposed to 25 from Milan (Tevez's choice so far) and 35 from PSG.
If he ends up in Inter this means we have sold Eto'o for 28 mill and are now getting Tevez for 27 mill. Seems a replacement for me. So let's compare them both:
Honestly, I won't bother discussing which one is better as clearly they both are world class players. So what can we say? Tevez is 3 years younger and 5 millions cheaper per year (taxes over wages accounted). But he is also unstable as hell: he just went "fuck you Man City, lemme play some golf back in Argentina".
My concern is that he will prove to be a problem in a few years. We sold Eto'o because he was getting older and losing market value, but what can we expect from Tevez in 2-3 years? Nobody in England wants him and he doesn't want to go to France nor places with smaller leagues (Russia, China, etc). Don't think Spanish nor German teams would be willing to take him so that leaves us with the option with him coming back to Latin America.
Corinthians seems a good bet, as his agent is Kia Joorabchian was the president of MSI when the company had an agreement with the club and there were rumours linking them together. Besides their history on buying great yet older and out-of-form Inter players (Ronaldo, Adriano). But Corinthians is not likely to pay 25 million euros on anyone because that is ridiculous money for Brazilian soccer league. So how much can we expect to get?
In the end, we may end up trading up a more expensive athetle who is losing market value for a cheaper troublemaker who is losing market value. Meh, can't tell you if I like it. But I'm sure Donatella Versace doesn't.
