Goodbye Mario? (merged)

Re: Goodbye Mario?

If true what has he actually contributed at his time at the club?

A Derby goal celebration that will still be shown in a hundred years and the assist for the greatest single moment in this club's history.

That'll do.

And the FA cup.

Re: Goodbye Mario?

if he does go i would like to see a replacement. we would lose valuable qualities that only he out of the 4 strikers offers. but it would be a safer bet to buy a new forward in the summer. thats why i think he should stay until the summer

Re: Goodbye Mario?

'Brand' leader? I'd rather give that title to Silva, Kompany, Aguero, or Zabaleta

Exactly. The highlighted especially.

Its not who you determine its who the audience like. Just like Charlie Sheen is more of a recognised brand than tee total Cliff Richards. Balotelli is more famous and has a larger audience world wide than Kompany. Shirt sales alone prove that.

Good point. The badboy factor kicks in and the marketing boys love this, although it has to be accompanied by accomplishments pitch-wise, which has not, sadly, been the case of late. Mario has a likeable quality to him, and has a certain saleable swagger, but we're here to watch football, not James fucking Dean.

Very naive for anyone to think that Zab can be the poster boy of Manchester City. As has been said, the whole world watches Mario's every movement. Maybe this was part of the problem

Not naive, it's an opinion. Personally I couldn't give a fuck about a poster boy. Poster boy's are for boy bands and pop groups, not football. Maybe i'm too old school but that's how I see it.

This "he sells shirts" stuff is bollocks in my opinion. He may well be one of the most popular names on our shirt but to suggest that people buy thousands of shirts just because of Balotelli is utter nonsense. If we didn't have Balotelli then at least 99.999% of the people with his name on the back of their shirt would get someone else's.
