The Transfer Rumour Factory: Homebound Carlitos to leave City Tévez-tated?

By Darshan Joshi, writing from Sydney

On some days, Santa mopes around his workshop, sluggishly slithering between the elves and dwarves and other magical creatures he has at his disposal, with his mind fixated on Mrs Claus and his children Roque Cruz and Pedro Cecilia. Sure, he enjoys having kids seated on his lap every Christmas, and he does sleep with Rudolph in his wife’s absence, but every man endures thoughts of a trip back ho-ho-home.

Very short introductory paragraph completed, it is time to introduce today’s protagonist - Carlos Alberto Tévez. The stocky little Argentine, who may be the only man who could possibly give Gimli (the son of Glóin) a fight for the title of ‘uncompromising dwarf’, is utterly homesick. At this point, I fail in trying to recall a single moment during Tolkien’s epic saga that Gimli himself declared his intentions of walking out on the Fellowship and returning to his abode in the Lonely Mountains.
