People are getting too wound up about this. He was a 19 year old boy when he first came here, basically a child at heart, who never really settled in this country.

If he then moves back to his homeland to the club he supported as a kid of course he's going to be happier. Fuck me if I was good enough to play for Milan and City came knocking I'd be over like a shot with a smile from ear to ear.

He gave us some great memories and helped propel the club forward in PR terms. He repaid the investment in him several times over.

Good luck Mario.

We game him millions and he earned hardly any of it. He came to be with Mancini and we treated him like a prince.

May-be he'll be happy back in his homeland. He'll have to get used to the racists again. Still, as long as he's smiling.

He didn't want to stay at our club and imo engineered a move to AC by dragging his valuation down from the beginning of the season.

Too many 'fans' turned on him, why should he give a fck. The refs and media made life impossible for him and loads of supporters bought it hook line and sinker. He laid on Kuns goal for Christ sake.
Happy for him, hope we get to see him be the player Bobby always knew he could be.

Go Mario, stick it to the haters. He has not slagged off the club or our supporters. He has helped put our club on the world map.

He has helped put our club on the world map.

Not by doing much on the pitch, though.

Well - Gotta be straight... Looking at that replay, 100% not a penalty.
Unfair for udinese.

But a very nice debut for Mario. easy to see he lacks match fitness, those 90mins killed him. He needs to train HARD to get back into it.

But damn, Im smiling

The ref clearly wanted to be in 'The Mario Show' and got his wish.

As dire a decision for a penalty as I've seen of late.

Oh, and a reminder of why I don't watch Italian football any more.

A game I used to love.

Theres actually more attacking football in italy than there used to be...ac milan guy, correct me if im wrong but there are more goals per weekend than there used to be right? But thats partly due to less superstars and the defenders are not what they used to be. Zapata and bonera, makeshift as they are even so prove defenders arent what they used to be.

"...Used to be"??

That's so general. Never better than when the likes of Maradonna, Batistuta, Van Basten and Gullitt played in Italy. Before the refs wanted to make names for themselves. Before the general standard of defending became a lost art, missing the Maldinis, Nestas, Baresis and the Cafus of the world.

It seems to me you missed the greatest period of Italian football stretching over 15/ 20 years.

Re: "Farewell Mario: The Firework In Blue"

No doubting that Mario is a fantastic character , and will never be forgotten here , or in England for that matter ...... but i said after his debut at Molyneux that the flaws were there for all too see , and as he left last week they were quite clearly still there

.... as with that other dreamer , by name of Robinho , Balotelli will NEVER achieve his aim of being the worlds best player.

Why do you feel the need to call him/her an idiot and in the same sentence ask him/her if they are a teenager? Curious.

Anyway one of the mcfc youtube videos shows a kid from canada who only wants to meet mario. Im not agreeing with the post, just saying he did get a lot of coverage (mostly for being daft).
