He was the main reason of losing the dressing room by Bobby and was the reason of many moments when we played in ten men, just because of his madness.

Yeah, his talent is out there next to the big boys in football, but he will never grow as a player. He left us to go at the only club he wanted to go, his boyhood club, and look now, after a year and a half he is leaving them on the back door. He will never grow up, he will never reach his full level and if this transfer will happen, Liverpool had just fucked themselves big time.

He will have rows and Rodgers is the last man who can control Mario. He will never do that. We are ready for some funny moments ahead, funny and sad at the same level. We must understand that this is not something bad for us and our dressing room became a family after players like Mario and Tevez left.

Bring him in.

PS: And speaking of Tevez, imagine if Scouse would had brought him in instead of Mario. Just imagine that.

Do you think we became a family after Mario and Carlos left or was it after Mancini left?

I think we took down the big top and stopped being a circus after Mario and Carlos left.

Quite surprised by the ill feelings of a lot on here to Carlos.
We were ALWAYS a better team with him in it, always. He won us countless games, and was monumental in our recent success. I don't think he did refuse to play for us either and never did believe that. Why would he warm up if he had no intention of coming on?

You may be surprised, but I certainly am not.

I am not surprised you have taken it on yourself to argue against a point no-one fucking made.

I honestly think so mate. Why would he go to Munich and spend ages warming up only to refuse to come on? Given his poor level of English misunderstanding would be most plausible and he probably said something like he had already warmed up, thinking he was being asked to do so again.
The charges were for fucking off to Argentina iirc? Which wasn't great but Mancini did say he would never play for him again.

Anyway back on to Mario. Will be interesting to see how he gets on. I don't necessarily agree that he was a 'bad influence' on the dressing room and no one really knows if he was, by all accounts he seemed quite popular and a bit of a joker who was key in both our winning cup and league campaigns.

The charges were for refusing to participate and there was a lot more besides with Tevez, him and his associate caused all sorts of shit for City although to be fair he did contribute to our rise on the pitch.

As for Mario being a bad influence, I wouldn't just blame him. I'd say it was more a case of his relationship with Mancini causing dressing room unrest, so that lies as much at Mancini's door as Mario's.

It will be interesting to see how it goes, the safer bet would be that it won't work out but you never know.

But watching Mario many times since, he still does this shit where he suddenly goes off his head when everything seems to be going fine. Usually caused by a foul not given or a dive not given & then from nowhere the mood swings, he either starts sulking or gets booked, he starts complaining to his team mates, diving more & going into challenges which are borderline cards. Also his play goes to shit. Often they take him off but if not, he usually brings down the performance level of the team & increases the crowd volume & performance level of the opposition.

Do you blame Mancini for Tevez' transfer request and for the breakdown of his relationship with "senior figures" at the club?

Do you blame Mancini for Garry Cook and Kia Joorabchian's dispute that was played out in the press?

Mancini is not innocent but Tevez played his part in all that shit too.

It doesn't matter whether he refused to warm up or refused to play he was paid a fortune by the Club to do what the manager fucking told him. To mutiny in the middle of a CL match was fucking unforgivable. He was clearly sulking that he hadn't been picked to start which is simply not good enough.

You can blame Mancini for a lot of things but not that.
