We might possibly make a little money on Mario

[Modo]

Scored another 2 today.
Nice have climbed to the top of the league.

Didn't know this though:

And Liverpool, who offloaded Balotelli on a free transfer rather than pay up the final 12 months of his £75,000-a-week contract, have wisely - or optimistically - inserted a 30 per cent sell-on clause in the deal, just in case he becomes Super Mario once again.

This is good news Jose might put in a bid for him at Jan transfer.

 

[tombrown]

His first signing as the new manager of Accrington Stanley?

 

[Fabio]

We released him didn't we? It's not a loan

 

[the count]

I think it was a free transfer as distinct from a loan which Nice wanted.

Only yesterday read his agent claiming that he signed only a 1 year deal with Nice and will be again available for a free transfer in summer of '17, which raises the question how do you make any money on a free transfer due to a sell on clause?

Well that's stupid

I guess they are banking on Nice offering him a new contract, thus the sell on clause remains active.

 

[Judge Jules]

Who cares as long as the tosser got shown the door? Everything else is secondary.

 

[gkmacca]

First is first and secondary is nowhere.

 

[Modo]

We gave that fuckhead away for free and this is what he does today:



Seriously, did people forget that he's a good player?

Nice are going to win the league it seems.

 

[moron]

I think the problem is that he plays only when HE wants to play and not when he needs to play.

No one doubted he had talent - it is his attitude that is the problem - you see him doing good things now but consider that this is probably his last chance - he did fuck all for us and the same can be said of his load spell in Milan last season. Maybe a more accurate assessment of him could be that he has finally found the league that suits his level ?

 

[Jack D Rips]

Modo he's a lazy, useless, fucktard who treated the club, and everyone involved with it, like shite, because of the fact that he is a lazy, useless, fucktard.

I use the word "useless" guardedly, because of the fact that somewhere in his lazy body there IS a player, but the laziness and fucktardness keep that "player" out of view.

 

[Dreambeliever]

Who cares he's gone.

I get what both of you are saying and you're abslolutely right but it just fucking annoys me that the situation with him was so fucking bad we gave him away for free.
I really, really hope that we somehow get something out of this deal through the sell-on clause.

Then he got sent off

 

[Modo]

Update, he was later on sent off for this:

 

[Oncy]

Wow. He literally did fuck all.
Hitler Ref

 

[cloggypop]

He is scoring loads there like. Maybe it's a better cultural fit for him. Or maybe French footy is a bit shite.

 

[cloggypop]

He got the first yellow for taking his shirt off after scoring. Fuck knows what the second was for.

Why always him?

I think it's the latter. I mean Djibril Cissé...

 

[rurikbird]

I always thought he was a major talent and back in his Man City days even suggested taking a punt on him (I didn't want him after Milan though – their willingness to sell him on a "cut price" deal should have set the alarm bells ringing for any modestly competent DF). He is just too psychologically unpredictable – was incredibly shite for the last 2-3 seasons and suddenly he finds himself in a better mood and scoring for fun. No ambitious club can afford this kind of risk, despite the talent.

That guy who won CL with Liverpool?

 

[Woland]

No, the guy who was at Liverpool while they won the CL.

 

[Modo]

That guy who won CL with Liverpool?

A lot of people won the CL with Liverpool.

 

[Insignificance]

A lot of people won the CL win Liverpool.

Nah. If you investigate you will find that only a few did it. Most people did not win the CL with us. Dont talk shit about the heros of Istanbul!!

 

[C/O]

The hero who beat his wife?

I don't think he's in any way unpredictable at all.

If anything, it's the opposite - his fuck ups are all too predictable.

I happened to have a shirt conversation with Brian Marwood (who works for City), after we signed Balotelli.

On behalf of us all I enquiries as to whether City would be interested in a player swap deal with Aguero.

Marwood just shook his head, sighed and said it would all end badly and that Ballotelli was a "bit special".

It won't be long before it all turns sour in France.

Yes, yes, yes - forget all that Mario nonsense. Tell us more about Brian's shirts! Does he wear Paul Smith?

I didn't ask, unfortunately.
