£40m bid for Mario?

[Marvin]

Following Mancini's comments

Mario did a fantastic European Championship. He's 21, it is clear that he can improve.

This summer we had a lot of requests for him.

various reports, probably made up mind, that PSG offered £40m for him.

Would you have sold him? I think I'd have been tempted because Aguero and Tevez are the No.1 partnership, and £40 m could have bought us Thiago Silva, or helped us push through deal for Agger. Said tempted, not saying I would have done it.

I'd have ripped their arm off.

even PSG isn't that crazy.....maybe a generous offer was made but no way was it 40 million.

 

[Why Always Ste]

£40mil yes....

 

[Any1aBlue]

I can't believe we haven't taken him over there personally with a 'NO RETURNS' label tied round his neck!

Who here wouldn't swap Balo for Cavanni OR rvp???????????????

Mario has the potential to be world class, and selling him now could seriously bite us on the arse. I just have a feeling in my bones that this season could be Mario's time to shine.....

 

[allan harper]

No fuck.

 

[Bill]

fuck that, he will be a 100m player in two years.

I anticipated some big Italian bids for Mario after the Euros and this is the first suggestion that they materialised.

If mancini was so keen on RVP, he could have freed up space for a bid for him, and sorted out the defence. But at the same time mario's potential is huge. Can't see him challenging Aguero and Tevez though - unless we play Tevez deeper and use Aguero as support for mario.

Great "problems" to have. All the focus on Summer signings and we forget that we have the most exciting forward line in europe. And arguably the best midfield too

I can categorically state that not only was Mario asked but his response was 'I'm going nowhere, this is my year' - expect to see the making of a world class star this year!!!
