(C) Mario's failings as highlighted by Talk Shite were minor compared to the so called Sports Personality of the Year (of a couple of years ago) for services to marriages.

If Mario is going - and yes he hasn't been playing as well this year - then the fact that every opposition defender knows they can foul him repeatedly (e.g. Dortmund away and many others) without giving away a free kick or getting booked hasn't helped.

Thanks for the entertainment Mario if you do go.

Not a great defence LOL. 1 extra moment on the pitch!
 
Re: Goodbye Mario?

Cant say I am happy with this or too disappointed either. Something inside says we should give him another chance. But we having been saying it for too long.

Also very unhappy that we will have only three strikers. Will we try to buy another before deadline day>?
 
Re: Goodbye Mario?

Its right to thank Mario for what he has done but on the other hand there is an awful lot on the pitch he hasnt bloody done.
I will miss him a bit cos he's a character but I suspect there are many at the club that will be glad to get rid of him and personally I think the time is right.
If he stays, he is unlikely to feature much cos at the minute every time he gets a chance he doesnt look interested.
If he doesnt play, his value will go down.
Good luck to him but his playing elsewhere certainly wont do us any harm.
 
Re: Goodbye Mario?

Will be gutted now if Mario does finally go just wished he could of shown his true potential at city.. Rags will love it now hes gone tho... Best place for him would be Juventus but have a feeling he will choose Milan.. All the best Mario..
 
Re: Goodbye Mario?

hehe ....

so now we've gone from NO club talking to City about Mario (according to Platt) , to TWO clubs allegedly talking to them ....... except for the fact that Platt and Mancini reckon they know fuck all about it !

Hardly makes for a smooth ride , does it , all this cloak and dagger stuff ..... as if Mancini didn't have enough of that after he presented those in power with his expectant , and rather hopeful , summer wish list ..... a wish list that , in the end , probably yielded at least three players that he didn't really wish for !!!

As for the man himself , well he may or may not have nipped to Italy , he may or may not know more than he's letting on , and he may or may not play tomorrow ..... that's if he isn't mysteriously ill , or proceeds to vanish into thin air before kick off again !

You should post more often.

Looks like he's on his way and I'm saddened - mainly as we just haven't seen the best of him wearing a City shirt.

Good luck Mario

Very very good post.

Also, how many of the mario out-ers will be saying in a couple of years when he's winning Chelsea or god forbid the scum the title "f*****g Mancini, fancy selling one of our future stars"

To any who have genuine concerns about his ability to fulfil his potential I say fair enough, we disagree, but some of you have argued your opinion well.

However, there are some on here who are simply allowing the uk media to dictate our squad/team selection and that's a very slippery slope. What happens when they go after yaya, or silva..? Because rest assured when (if) the bastards in the media get rid of mario they'll switch their venom onto another of our players. Guaranteed.

These people don't slag mario for the good of city, they do it to sell papers. They've done it to every single England squad for 50 years and then have the cheek to complain when we win nowt.

My two pennarth for what it's worth.
 
Re: Goodbye Mario?

This is just a hunch but I think he will be still our player come the end of this window.
 
Re: Goodbye Mario?

I would as well lets mug A.C Milan off and sell him to the old slag!!!!
 
Re: Goodbye Mario?

It is easier to defend Mario than the profit via amortisation point.

That said, the use of amortisation could have shafted our chances of any success. It helped to make Ray Ranson a multi-millionaire and if his bid for City those years back had been successful. Who knows we might have ended up like Coventry though no doubt the Sheikh would have still found us.

Apologies for the weak link to the Super Mario thread.
