Tevez will likely wriggle free from Manchester City

Carlos Tevez and advisers adept in the art of profiteering from churlish club exits

Tevez will likely wriggle free from Manchester City on a loan move in January, and by now the 27-year-old knows how to fully maximize profits from an exit.

When agitating for a move, the trick is to moan and hiss enough to force your way out, but not quite enough to hamper net earnings on future contracts. It's a subtle balance, which is why Carlos Tevez has people helping him finesse it.

Well, person. It's been the same guy all along.

Juxtaposed against the sweaty, burly, grotesquely-scarred, monolingual-grunting Tevez is the crisp, charismatic, polyglot Kia Joorabchian, with his pressed suits and virginal, eager face.

When Tevez all but admitted that he had refused to enter the match against Bayern Munich in the Champions League earlier this season, Joorabchian swooped in with customary cool and eloquently explained that, in fact, the clearly misappropriated quotes were birthed thanks to an entirely understandable, but still damaging, mistranslation.
