I repeat, and reiterate, failure to get Tevez at the transfer fee and wages being mentioned would be a huge loss. We will regret it, and it will most definitely come back to bite us in the ass, particularly if we want to improve further in Europe. Losing him to a Serie A rival in Milan would suck even more.
When an opportunity to sign a world class player presents itself, you take it, regardless of what has been said about his attitude and commitment (which is BS I feel). We are talking about fucking Tevez here, not Diamanti, Osvaldo, Pazzini, or any of those lesser lights. Oh, and Llorente is nowhere near enough. He is an upgrade, and a definite improvement, but if we only bring in Llorente, I will consider this mercato a positive failure.

I don't want him to fail. I want him to succeed. But the point that most people make about him being the player that's strengthened us a great deal is a tad bit incorrect. He may get his chances but he's going to need quite a bit of time to get used to the system and Conte's ways. I'm aware that we are in touch etc, but all of that is theory. It's going to be very different once he's physically of the pitch and team dynamics kick in. To me, this transfer is not the game changing one, and even in form he's not going to be enough given our requirements in attack.
Llorente, Giovinco, Matri, Quag and Vucinic were also our attack when we went looking for the 25m rated Higuain. This is not our issue. It is something the board and the DS need to sort, because I'm not debating sales either. But it would be wrong to say that we won't attempt to sign a striker because as things stand we are trying to sign them as we speak.
Yes, it is actually simple to sign Tevez on the figures we are talking about because this is a category Conte has identified as required strengthening and it has been agreed with, with Marrotta, who otherwise would not be spending this much time trying to find personal agreements. We spent 11m to sign half of Giovinco last term without CL money, i camt see how and why we cant sign Tevez for 12m with CL money and scudetto successes. Higuain, it could be argued is not worth what is being asked for, the same goes for Jojo? But Tevez? The man is one of the best in the world in his position when on form, add to which he is available in a way we describe to be our profile of target and our terms. Our financial situation is a lot more comfortable than Meelan so it can't really be an excuse anymore.

That's not what you asked, you stated something and made a rolleyes smiley.
We're chasing Higuain because beggars can't be chosers, just like we're chasing after any other target within our range at the moment. If we get Higuain, Conte has a set of tactical challenges ahead of him and it certainly won't be easy. But, we will have a far greater amount of talent in the squad if we get Higuain, so we're going for him anyways - most likely because Conte said that he can make it work.

Honestly, Tevez @ 12 million Euros and wages of 5.5 million for 3-4 seasons is a steal. Bendtner, Anelka, and Iaquinta are already gone, and I am quite certain one of Quag, Matri, or Vucinic is going to leave. That will leave us with Llorente, Giovinco (who for some reason unbeknownst to me is going to stay regardless), and 2 of the aforementioned trio, which is nowhere near enough. Ideally, I'd like us to sell everyone and keep Llorente and Vucinic, thus freeing up more salary space and generating some money in the process, whereby we can bring in a Tevez along with a JoJo or Higuain, however that is very unlikely to happen, due to various factors which have been discussed before.
The minimum requirement should be to bring in an SS, whether that be Tevez or JoJo.

I stated that's why we have a hard on for Higuain - implying that he is the box striker/finisher that you were describing Llorente to be. Keep in mind that you are talking about a player rated at 30m. Beggars cant be choosers, and yet we identify a player at that price along with others because he is within our range? Make up your mind.
yep. but not much we can do if tevez choses milan over us for whatever reasons (i don´t belive this is true btw.)...
having said that: i still think we will sign him. all sources i consider somewhat credible said we agreed a deal with tevez, have a good relationship with city and milan can´t buy until they sell.

There's absolutely no reason to think the "we" (as in the club) has a hard on for Higuain. Unless you're confusing the club with the fans. Come on, just admit that this makes a lot of sense 
:
That's the complete opposite of a steal.
You're talking about a player who desperately wants out of his contract with City & everyone knows it. And not for the first time, obviously.
You're talking about a player who, every few months, gets homesick & threatens to leave for Argentina.
You're talking about a player who has very few suitors left.
