Manchester City FC: 5 Reasons For The Blues To Sell Carlos Tevez

Many people now think of Carlos Tevez as one of the biggest jokes in world football.

The Argentine international has been wanting to leave the Eastlands for a long time, but his transfer to another club hasn't happened yet.

Over the course of the summer, his name was linked to several teams, including Inter Milan, Boca Juniors, Real Madrid, Corinthians, Arsenal and even some MLS teams.

For some reason, he is still at Manchester City, where he hasn't been playing a lot, and his attitude hasn't been great.

Here is why Roberto Mancini should sell him.

His Attitude Is Bad for Other Players

Carlos Tevez isn't setting a very good example for other players who currently play for Manchester City, especially the youngsters.

His attitude isn't very good according to several teammates, who have given interviews saying that his attitude in the dressing room isn't very bright. He has been accused of being a "downer," and also of being very serious and angry some of the time.

For younger players going through the academy, he doesn't set a good example at all.

Also, given his attitude, to say that his relationship with players is at its best, would be completely illogical. The fact that he is pessimistic can't mean that he is on great terms with teammates, and that is exactly what this team doesn't need.

In the past, Manchester City have had attitude problems, ego problems, and things of the sort. They looked as though they had put that behind them this year, so Mancini wouldn't want to ruin all of that by keeping Carlos Tevez.

Player-Manager Relationship

During Manchester City's 2-0 loss to Bayern Munich on Tuesday, Carlos Tevez refused to play for the Blues.

This enraged Roberto Mancini and according to The Sun, the Italian manager said:

"

"He is finished. He refused to go on. I can't accept this. He won't play with me again. I don't want another situation like tonight, never. With me he is finished."

"

Then, he described the situation in a little more detail:

"

"For the first change, I decided to change Edin with Nigel because I wanted to make sure we didn't concede a third goal as we were 30 minutes to the end. Then Carlos refused to warm up and go on the pitch. He was going to be the second substitution. I decide this, not Carlos."

"

This isn't the only problem that has been apparent between the two, but after this major one, it seems that Mancini will get rid of the Argentine as soon as possible.

Manchester City Already Possess a Great Attack

With the likes of Edin Dzeko, Sergio Aguero, Mario Balotelli, Samir Nasri, David Silva, Yaya Toure, Gareth Barry, James Milner and others, Manchester City have no shortage of options when going forward.

Even without the whole Tevez-Mancini row, Carlos was not a consistent starter for City. 

So far, Sergio Aguero, who was bought in late August, has proved that he can rise to the occasion for Manchester City, as he has scored eight goals in just six games.

Also, Bosnian Edin Dzeko has scored six goals in five games, showing fans why he was brought in by Mancini.

Tevez has been reduced to a second-half substitute, and his services aren't needed as much as before. Therefore, if Tevez doesn't play, and City don't need him, it's good for both parties if he leaves.

His Reputation Is Rapidly Deteriorating

Carlos Tevez.

With the name comes much meaning; the reputation of being a world class striker; the man who possesses one of the best shots in modern-day football and Manchester City's main man.

However, the last is no longer true.

As stated earlier, he is becoming one of the biggest laughing stocks in world football. Like so many that we've seen before, his attitude towards the game and his peers aren't helping to fulfill the magic that such a talented player is capable of making.

Now, many laugh at him and make jokes about him.

Maybe he needs to start afresh at a new club.

He Wants to Leave

This man wants to leave.

He has repeatedly given interviews saying that his desire is to leave the Eastlands, and move to another club.

His English isn't so great, and he always needs translators to be by his side in post-match discussions. If he moved back to Argentina, this wouldn't be a problem for him.

From the way he has been acting, one would guess that he is absolutely miserable, and he wouldn't be blamed for wanting out.

Even in late August, Tevez stated that he wanted to leave, but Mancini clearly disapproved of this.

If he wants to leave, then why stop him?

Should he leave? Should he stay?

Where should he go?
