Yes. For all the talent he has he took the piss out of MCFC big time. He made MCFC a laughing stock all round the world. He came back when HE wanted, not when his team needed him. That's a joke. he's a twat.
I cannot believe how people have forgiven him so easily. quality footballer though but for me it's not enough anymore.


I take your point. I was as angry as anyone.
But he apologised. He made a mistake, and seems to be trying to make amends.
At the moment he is better than dzeko and balotelli, no question.

I agree with your sentiment. But now he's back, for me, the most important thing is the attitude on the pitch. His seems far better than Mario's and has done for a while. Made a big difference today. Mario is as much of a dickhead as Tevez IMO, only Mario isn't showing his worth on the pitch.

Great goalscorer.If he does leave atletico it will surely be for stupid sums of money.I would not be sorry to see Mario move on at this stage, he's his own worst enemy.I don't think losing Edin would bother me either.He scores his share of goals but its a shame he appears solid useless any time he makes the starting 11.If we lost Tevez or Aguero I would be very concerned.

don't think he'd fit in our system. Mancini would kill his talent.

The rags got van persie (a fucking goal machine) which took all the pressure off Rooney and resulted in them having the best finisher in the league along with rejuvenating that granny shagging cunt.

I think falcao upfront with tevez behind him would do wonders for us and we would walk the league.

Agree. For me it's got to be Mario. Not sure how much longer I can keep believing the hype.


I gave up a long time ago. He's a show pony and Mancini's decision to start him today was appalling. He's overindulged. Everything transformed when Tevez came on. We'd have won at a canter if he'd started. Great job, Mancini, excellent selection.

Agree completely Mancini needs to wake up and get rid of him he is not professional.

We need to make sure we do everything we can to try to sign him. He is a goal-scoring phenomenon and up there with the likes of Messi and Ronaldo - he's now scored 19 goals in 15 league games and 3 hat tricks this season! I'd get rid of Balotelli to make room in the squad for him

If there is truth in Madrid wanting Balotelli and we could maybe get shut of a couple of fringe players to raise some cash that wouldnt affect this fair play finacial stuff then yeah go for the lad. Balotelli has got talent no doubt about it just chooses not to use it no where near enough.

Falcao looks to have hunger thats needed in forwards and it would be welcome at city.

Mourinho wouldn't sign Mario, and I don't think Mario would want to play for him again. Wasn't there talk of at least one Milan club (if not both) wanting him though?

Aaah gotcha - yeah I think it was AC that was supposedly quite hot for him.

Nobody really wants Balotelli, apart from clubs who are at the 'Hughes' stage of development; he would be their Adebayor. Alternatively, clubs who don't care about ffp ie: the ones with Plattini's son in their employ.

Our manager has just helped run down his transfer value even further, but hey, in the end it's all Marwood's fault.

He'd be the difference in us winning the league or not this season imo.

Pros -

Statement of intent, most saught after (available) striker in the world right now.
Fire up the rest of the squad.
Absolute goal machine, score the goals we've been missing.
Scare the hell out of our rivals.

Cons -

Never tested in the Prem.
FFP Rules.


We need to sign this guy.

This^^^^^

We have 4 potential world class strikers and they have all fallen to pieces. When Aguero came to the club he was on fire, a few months of mancini nagging at him to do things differently and his form dropped significantly (except for when tevez came back) and that dip has continued this season. Tevez is our main threat and makes things happen yet he cant get a start.

If we got Falcao, he would be great for the first few months, then he would become used to Mancini's slow mundane training sessions and he would lose his sharpeness and there would be people on here looking to get rid of him to sign another world star.

We should work with what we have got, tevez and aguero as the main two, if ballo and dzeko are happy to play backup and be an integral part of the squad then keep them if not get rid and we use our accademy like every other club in the world
