I think that Mario will score some important goals between now and the end of the season but I just think he is "getting in the way". It was funny to see all the unpredictable shite he's got up to but at the end of the day we're here to win football matches and unless he matures off the field then I don't see a long-term future here in terms of the negative publicity he has drawn to the club and the amount of time Mancini dedicates to one player.
But that's not what I have been trying to say, mate.
For me, he has the talent to be the best striker in the world, should he be allowed to apply himself properly over the next couple years.
However, the thread was started in the immediate aftermath of the Spuds incident.
I don't believe he will be allowed to reach his full potential in this country because of his notoriety, the agenda of refs and media, and that won't serve him or City.
If you think that he 'has the talent to be the best striker in the world' (so do I), then you really shouldn't be giving up on him yet
