Carlos Tevez has tonight stressed his desire to leave Manchester City.

The Daily Mail reports that the City skipper has poured his heart out to City chairman Khaldoon Al Mubarak and concluded that his future must lie away from the club for the good of his family.

“It is with great regret that I have to inform Manchester City of my wish to leave the club. I would like to state that I have great respect for the club, its supporters and the owner, Sheik Mansoor, who has been nothing other than respectful to me…I hope that the people understand the difficult circumstances I have been living under the past 12 months, in regards to my family.”

On the day that City made their first move of the summer in the transfer market by sealing the capture of Gael Clichy from Arsenal, this latest development in the ongoing Tevez saga will rock the club and potentially disrupt City’s plans for further acquisition in the next month.

Just over a week ago Roberto Mancini offered reassurance on the future of his skipper following speculation linking him to a move to Inter Milan in a potential swap deal with Samuel Eto’o. No such move materialised and Tevez looked set for another campaign at Eastlands. Tonight’s reports and quotes from Tevez now firmly shroud his future in uncertainty once again.

“I hope I have done my bit to help City continue their progress towards their ambition to be champions of England and to advance in the Champions League. I have no doubt that the players and management of City will achieve great success in the future.”

There is little doubt that Tevez has been fundamental to City’s success. Joint leading scorer in the Premier League last season, Tevez has been a revelation, despite constant doubts over his future at the club and in England.

It seems certain that Tevez will now step up his desire to earn a transfer to a Spanish or Italian club and that Mancini must look to salvage all he can from such a deal. Replacing Tevez will be a huge task and will now open up a circus of speculation surrounding would-be replacements.

Us Fantasy Managers will need to sift through such uncertainty and look destined to be crossing Tevez from our pre-season watchlists. With Cesc Fabregas looking set for a move to Spain, we now face the prospect of losing two hugely influential and supremely gifted players from our league and our player lists.

In one notorious case, Stoke City fans were herded on to a coach and not allowed to get off until they were home, even after pleading to be allowed to go to the lavatory. By the time the coach got to Stoke, it was flooded with urine.

Stevie G is well back in the mixer for me if Fabs and Tevez leave. Unsure about Lamps, Rooney has a tough start - Gerrard will hopefully have some fitness and drive to start well + I reckon you need at least one expensive mid in there to make swapping out easier.

        City finished above Arsenal, i doubt he'd want to sell to either team. Or Chelsea, or Liverpool, or Spurs or any team who can challenge Arsenal. The Utd thing is your preference. The reality is Wenger has no power. Either he sells to the club Nasri wants to go to or he leaves on a free in a year. It's all down to Nasri's choice.

  like it. Reminds me though. When Zamora left Spurs was Jol the manager at the time? I just wanted to assess whether he had any faith in him back then. I know Zamora left spurs in 2004, the same year Jol joined...but not sure there was any cross over.

        There are question marks certainly. Keen to see how they shape up pre season. Dempsey would be my top choice in terms of attacking potential...but depends...Jol may be a massive Simon Davies fan for all I know...in which case I'll be all over him like a bunch of grannies at an Englebert Humperdink gig.

Anyone know anythuing about Pastore? Could he be our Chelsea coverage in midfield:

09.31: Your daily dose of Maurizio Zamparini now, and this is his latest on Javier Pastore:

"The only Palermo player that is in the market is Pastore. The situation must be resolved in the next 15 days, otherwise, the player will remain with us. Before the Copa America ends, Pastore's future must be decided.

"There is a 90% chance that Pastore will leave because that is his desire and when you hear about the clubs that want him it's only normal. We would be sad to see him go, considering he is the only star that I've had as president."

      I can't remember eating it, but it seems to be very similar to cous cous (bang bang).
      
      I've really gotten into polenta recently. you can buy it in packs for about 75p, pre-made (it takes hours otherwise).
      
      Then I cut it into thick slices, and pan fry them with some rosemary and sea salt in olive oil about 10 minutes before I put a steak in (or sea bass the other day).
      
      They come out like really big chips, with a really chewy crispy outside, and the inside (as long as you cook them through enough) is like creamy jersey royals.
      
      Honestly I don't think I'll ever bother making real chips again when these are so damn good.

        Basically if you wana just cook it in water( a bit liek cous cous) You just put enough water in to cover the quinoa, bring it to boil and leave it to simmer for 10 mins till the seeds open up. Theyre delicious.
        
        Also another way to prepare it is satay a few veg and then throw in your quinoa, some stock and then bring it to boil and simmer again for about 10 to 15 mins till it soaks up all the liquid! Serve it with a nice bit of salmon then. Yum!
