Tevez and Inter Were Doomed from the Start

By: Martha | June 29th, 2007

Oh dear.Remember the crazy, grade school dating scene? When most relationships lasted a few days at best, and most of them ended with the loving couple desperately racing to be the dumper, and not the dumpee? Like, actually racing — running across the field at recess, not to meet in a joyous hug, but rather to yell “I’m dumping YOU!” before the other. (Am I revealing too much here?) If any of that rings a bell, you’ll pretty much understand how things ended between Inter and Wes Ham’s Carlos Teves.

Within hours of one another yesterday, both parties proudly rejected the other, engaging in the football version of that grade school staple, “I never liked you anyway!” On the Tevez side, his agent (who, as RT pointed out in the comments last night, is not exactly weight down by credibility) announced that his client was not prepared to completely give up on his Premiership Dreams — at least not prepared enough to decide right now to make a move to Italy. According to Agent de Tevez, you see, Inter had demanded a decision by an entirely arbitrary deadline, and said deadline, evidently, has now passed, and Tevez said no. (Entirely unsurprisingly, Inter have never addressed the deadline issue, and it’s quite possible it was made up to get the player in the paper.)

Inter, meanwhile, were simultaneously announcing that they no longer need Tevez, but thanks for asking. Now that the David Suazo drama is finally over and Adriano won’t freaking leave, the club are overrun with strikers and can’t be bothered with Tevez anymore, even if he is an Argie. Really, they’re totally over him. That Chivu guy, though, he’s a different story altogether — he’s still got Moratti a little bit excited, that one. “Did he … say anything about us. Really? Ok but HOW did he say it? Did he smile? How was he standing?”

    I saw my first and second grade girlfriend (we were on and off) about two years ago. She is absolutely drop dead gorgeous now. Unfortunately so is her kid. I’m really regretting dumping her for the exchange student.

    Tevez would be a great addition to the cast of that upcoming Geico Caveman show.

    Camo would do pretty well on the caveman show too.

    Brilliant, ben. Freaking Camo. I do like the idea of footballers in a reality show (or playing cavemen — what’s the difference, really?) — there is supposed to be a writers strike hitting Hollywood very soon, actually, perhaps we should pitch this sooner rather than later.

    And, Chris, I wouldn’t recognize anyone from grade school if they came up and smacked me. Clearly the ex was quite a woman. Girl. Whatever.

    Actually she noticed me from my picture in the paper (or police blotter) so I can’t take the credit. But thanks for mentioning grade school romances and having that cycling through my head all day. Real cool. (I’m sticking my tongue out at you but you can’t see it)
