Pigeonho said:Good post TH. I'd agree with that swap deal too, suits everyone concerned. Personally I wouldn't miss the paying for petrol for everyone, turning up at colleges, buying rounds in a Wythenshawe boozer or anything else off the pitch as its all meaningless. Yes it raises a smile and yes people want to ruffle his hair in 'you loveable scallywag' kind of way, but on the pitch is where it matters and in the main, he's let himself and us down more than not.
A swap for a player who will do it purely on the pitch would make sense. Not denying Balotelli has quality, he has it in abundance but he also has a silly streak which spoils it.
Do you think this could be a goer?
It was just a purely hypothetical scenario.
Mario loves Naples, his girlfriend is from the area. Mancini loves Cavani.
De Laurentis is a crazy fuck and is demanding close to £50m, but if Mario was on the table, I believe it could be a game changer.
After all, they took Maradona to their hearts and protected him.
Manchester is too small for a guy like Mario, as is England.
It would also be a massive fuck you to the FA and media, having chased away another star.
Difference is, we have the means to bring in another. Cavani would win us the league alongside Sergio for the next three years.
Let me be clear, I champion Mario and whatever he and the club want to do, going forward.
But rationale dictates he will be chased off or will follow Mancini out the door.
