Carlos Tevez (pictured; 145.92 points FTBL Rating) has no intention of going on strike in order to facilitate his departure from Manchester City, Kia Joorabchian has insisted.

Joorabchian, Tevez's advisor, has reiterated that the Argentine ace is desperate to leave Eastlands.

But he has rubbished some suggestions that Tevez may refuse to play for City after his transfer request was rejected.

"I want to be clear that Carlos has never said he is not going to play or train or be professional. So those rumours are rubbish," Joorabchian stated in the Daily Telegraph.

"He will play if picked and 100 per cent do his best. He feels that is important every time he puts on the shirt. He always gives 100 per cent.
