In a desperate attempt to divert global anger and derision from their economic mismanagement, the Greek government have offered to take troublesome Manchester City striker Carlos Tevez on loan.
With tensions across the EU growing on how to save Greece from economic disaster, the ministers have decided to gamble on bringing in a man who provokes even greater public anger than themselves.
Tevez’s agent said, “Obviously it’s not an ideal move for Carlos, but at least he won’t be in Manchester and he will be five minutes closer to his beloved Buenos Aries.”
“The Greek finance ministry have made it clear that they value Carlos and we imagine that with he’d fit in perfectly with a group of guys that sit around sullenly when everyone needs them most.”
The Greek Prime minister Stelios Kyriakos was optimistic about their prospects of signing the Argentinean, although he admitted the star would have to accept a pay cut.
“We know everything about making the most of our loans so we hope that signing Carlos could be the turning point for our country.”
“He singlehandedly diverted everyone’s attention from City’s defeat in Munich and unselfishly bore the brunt of the media backlash, we just hope he can do the same for us.”
“Obviously we can’t compete with Manchester City’s wage structure but we can promise him sunshine, kebabs and a one way ticket out of Manchester.”
Manchester City are set to release a statement before the end of the week.
