So they are more willing to give him on loan for their rivalry than to us. :lol:

What goes around, comes around. One day Barca will need something from us, then we will screw them.

Yeah, he should be good at recycling, considering he's trash.

Indeed.

He's one of the very few in the squad who actually plays with his head.

Maybe we already did, if we told them what we tell everybody. Namely that we need a loan with option, because of ffp, but we will excercise this option, we promise. You have no idea what we promissed Barca.

LOL fuck Barca there is no way betis offers more then we did!!

2 guesses:

- Sabatini promised something to Barca when they accepted the loan and we screwed them over after he left

- we weren’t even interested after signing Radja and we decided to go all in on Modric

apparently they are suprised at Appiano Gentile how Joao Mario is working and he chould stay. We have forgive Brozo after a good season, why we should not with Joao Mario? If he says sorry and admit the mistake he made, i can accept it.

As player he always had potential. He is not a trequartista, that's the problem. But who knows, i always thinked that Brozovic is ovverated. Then Spalletti found a new position for him and he improved a lot. I believe in the Spalletti miracles. But he needs to say sorry.

I'm sorry but Mario does not have grinta to play deep, and does not have the end product to play more advanced. Even if he apologises till kingdom come, I don't see him anything more than a benchwarmer at Inter.

And if he continues to moan and whine, even the bench is too good for the likes of him.

He should stay. We don't have enough midfielders. He is not starter, that is obvious but when he is motivated and focused he can deliver some good stuffs.

I agree. But what worries me is why wasn't getting a creative midfielder a priority for Spalletti? He knew 9G was injured and could take weeks to recover and Modric wasn't coming and he did nothing about it. He didn't insist on getting Rafinha or another player with similar qualities. He seems to rely on luck or gifts from this club or that club.

Aًside from his negative attitude, what good is a midfielder who can't score, shoot, etc?

Nainggolan has missed one competitive game so far and is expected to be in the squad at least for the next one.

But Spalletti didn't know this a month ago and he said that he needed two players for each post. Who is his vice 9g creative midfielder? Spalleti relies on luck and that's what frustrates me.

He seems happy to play Martinez there and I'm happy to wait and see if that's an alright move. At least better than splashing on Rafinha for a bench role. We'll probably see Nainggolan, Martinez, Keita, Politano, Valero, Brozovic used at AM.

Icardi-Martinez
Pero-Nainggolan-Mario
Brozo

kind of a 4-1-3-2 hybrid

he could do well in that line up tbh

not as a starter...if we are playing catch up

Damn that's actually pretty solid. I agree, I always saw Joao Mario as more of a wide midfielder than either advanced or deep.

I call him Joy Mario, because he brings happiness to people's lives. His beautiful, gentle smile brightens up a room like no one else, and caresses the very depths of your soul.

Can't be much worse than Vecino, although at least Vecino tries

If he stays whatever. There are still less talented or more useless players in the squad than him. If he’s professional and plays like he actually cares he could be useful off the bench.

He is very good as a trigger in counter attacks.I always like that.

Just dont play him as a trequartista and expect goals.Also he needs more space to operate so he is best as a central midfielder but needs DM next to him.

Аpart of his atrocious finishing he was decent at the beginning of last season and got us a couple of assists and won a penalty. When he has desire he can be good for rotational player. Apart of Nainggolan we dont have a player for AM position. Martinez and Keita are much more offensive and are closer to SS than AM.
