I tell you one thing that is 'positive' about all these bullshit rumours. I've never seen us connected to so many high profile players since Calciopoli...I mean usually the rumours start to flood; we're connected with a world class player for a couple of weeks, then there's a sudden bizarre jump and we're connected to the likes of Floro Flores and Boriello.
edit: Wait a min...could it be? Anyone think Marotta actually did make this bid knowing that Tevez wouldn't agree to move (or making sure by offering a shitty deal) to strong arm Atletico?
