Goodbye Mario? (merged)

[Ezra]

tin hat time, but he is a born winner. Is it really a coincidence that we hadn't won nothing for 35 years until he arrived? And now he has left it wouldn't surprise me if we went a few years without winning anything.

He won plenty of silverware with Inter, and will do the same with AC over the next 2-3 years and beyond.

You simply don't achieve what he has at his age without having some magic inside you

Twaddle!

 

[welsh_andy]

do you think with Mario set to be a honey trap interviewer on on berlusconi tv more of our players hiding in the shadows of bobby's dysfunctional indulgence and preferential treatment might now have a bit more of critical spotlight on them ?

I guess the move should free Mancini to do a bit of proper work and sort out the under performance in the team and others who thought I'd give the Manchester circus a miss might be tempted to sign for city now

can see mario at plenty bunga bunga parties at berlusconis haha

he's just off to one now he thinks its a medical

class, im sure those hunnies will give him a major workout

Odds of us ending a game with ten men just plunged.

My 9 year old, true blue Mancunian boy just asked me to put this on for him. For the first time, I am quite sad that mad Mario has gone.

what a player

after he'll had signed his contract i wish he'll broke all his ligaments at the first training

Staggered. I'm not a Mario fan but I can't believe you'd wish that on anyone.

If Karma exists, your fucked.

Come on now. I like to take the piss out of you (justifiably so, in my view, given that you masquerade as a City fan and thus take the piss out of us) and portray you as some sort of star struck school girl. But you are taking it too far in an attempt to play up to that billing.

Next you'll be telling us that you want to scratch his eyes out, how he told you in a dream that he loved only you and how you are going to rip down all the topless photos of him and put them in a pot with his pet rabbit.

Anyway, you going to stop pretending to be a City fan now are is our manager going to be the renewed focus of your pisstaking?

Whilst I'll miss Mario more than any other player I've seen leave City, looking at this video, it doesn't feel like this is the player who has just gone. Mario wasn't playing and the minutes he has had on the pitch this season, too many have been wide left. He needed to go. He was rotting here. He's too damn good to sit on a bench, or be stuck in a position where he isn't even half as effective. This is a happy transfer, for all parties, AC got a potential superstar, already a very good player, Mario has got his boyhood club where he'll be playing regularly, City got a good transfer fee for a player who wasn't playing. Me, I'll treasure the memories. The only sad thing for me is that I doubt we'll ever have a player again that I'll take to like I've taken to Mario.

The one that upset me were peter Barnes, Gary Owen and Nicky Read

Nicky Read..........he could do no wrong when i was a kid.

My nipper doesn't know he's born, when my boyhood hero was a lad from Davyhulme who only scored 2 goals in 216 apps

 

[Manc in London]

I have spported City for over 30 years. For me, the sale of SWP to Chelsea was the most difficult to deal with. He was the only player at the time that could get me out of my seat. Losing him, meant we lost any spark we had.

As for Mario, I keep changing my mind about what I think about him leaving the club. One minute, I think we are better off without him as he simply could not be trusted to put in a performance. Then I keep thinking that it's a shame that we have lost a talented footballer who helped us in some of the greatest moments of our history.

Regardless, I will miss him because he is a character. Good or bad, I would rather have more characters in the game like Balotelli, than bores like Carrick and Michael Owen.

BREAKING: Mario Balotelli spotted in Milan, driving Paul Scholes' stolen car. More to follow.

 

[Ray78]

A lot of pressure on him to perform straight away and maintain that level. He is nowhere near showing those standards yet.

sorry for being pedantic but if he was your hero then at least spell his surname correctly. its reid.

 

[LoveCity]

It's absolutely crazy over there, it's like they have welcomed the Pope back to Italy after a 2 year absence. He is even more celebrity there than here it seems.

So long, and thanks for all the fish....

Hitchhiker's is very appropriate to associate with Mario. Both weirdly wonderful.

Then surely he should have worn Yaya's number?

Actually I was thinking of it being his fourth in a series that didn't live up to the promise of the first and just left you disillusioned, unsatisfied and, ultimately, wondering what happened to his genius

You're lucky they've not brought back capital punishment.
