With my observation, Joao Mario is good midfielder.
And he deserve second chance at Inter.

1. Inter had many finisher, Lautaro, Icardi, Keita, Nainggolan, Politano, and Perisic... Joao Mario finishing skill not needed anymore.
2. He can be our Central Midfielder as Brozovic backup or maybe Brozovic complement.
3. Borja Valero already finished, Vecino is physically not fit, plus Gagliardini is different type midfielder.
4. Our schedule too much, Copa Italia, Champions League, and Serie A..
5. Joao Mario is a player who already won Euro.. and he is irreplaceable in Portugal. When he become shit, Portugal shit too.
6. The pressure is not much now, look Ranocchia, as reliable backup is very very good..

As conclusion, we need Joao Mario as rotation player, and not pressure he too much.
He will grow, and think.. and Spalletti will think how to revive his talent.
Just like Spalletti do with Brozovic, and many Roma player.
He will step up his game, especially if Modric come, he will learn from Modric.

I'm all in for a second chance for him, but he needs to show to the club that he deserves it.

According to AS, the Biancoverde already have an agreement with the Portuguese who would love to join this club in Seville thanks to the presence of his compatriot William Carvalho.

Joao Mario has already refused offers from Turkey and Russia and he prefers Betis to Schalke 04. Inter’s biggest problem is that the club will not be able to make €25M to avoid capital loss or €8M loan to cover amortization.

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.

Did you have to insult the blue whale by comparing it to Mario and placing them in the same league?

I think keeping Joao Mario is preferable to selling him at a loss. I read that article comparing his career to Dembele's, and I really want to believe that Mario can make it work in Milan all while improving the first team. But I just don't see it happening, he does not do enough in defense and in keeping possession. At this point I think it's better to take the loss and let both parties move on.

When the Yakuza made mistakes, they'd cut off one of their fingertips. Just sayin.

Then Joao Mario is an even bigger idiot than i thought he was. Schalke would be a very good option for him. I can see him succeed in Bundesliga, Schalke play with a midfield trio which suits him perfectly and Tedesco would improve him like he did with Max Meyer.

Normally the only reason to chose Betis over Schalke is that Gelsenkirchen is a shithole compared to Sevilla. Schalke is qualified for CL and always fighting for a top 4 spot.

I have no idea how Betis plays, but I can imagine JM is aware that with his attitude he can get problems with Tedesco who wants tactically disciplined players and not prima donnas like him. He prefers the easy life instead of athletic progress.

Yeah, but they made it in the top 4 only one time in the last 20 years. And spent four years in the 2nd division in that time.

In the same time Schalke made it 10 times into the top 4, offers CL football this season, is always a candidate for winning the cup (which has a big status in Germany), has a better stadium and more fans.

My point is that they have equal ambition.I dont care about the past.Betis have a really good squad now and good coach.And I guess Sevilla is a better place to live so no wonder he prefers Betis.

Not sure about fans argument:

Spain is also closer to Portugal.

Still baffled how some of you still want him to give him a chance after disrespecting our colors like that. Out of principle I would still play Valero over him. He overstayed his welcome.

Here’s here now, it would be stupid not to utilize him. He’s still a much better player than Vecino.

Is he? More technically gifted for sure but the better player not so much!
Problem is this guy has not given a fuck for too long now. Especially when he makes a mistake he jut goes into a total i dont give a fuck mode, does not chase back and seemingly loses all motivation to play football. He even was like that for portugal in the NT now imagine how much he s gonna care when he s playing for a club at which he does not want to be.

I think he is a talented lad but lacks in every other aspect that is needed to play at a top level.
Vecino is pretty much the opposite not that technically gifted but a hard worker who never gives up.
Actually if you could combine the two into one player you might get a very good player except for his tactical awareness as they both lack in that aspect.

Desperate moments call for unlikely scenarios.

He's lazy, he's indolent, he missed chance after chance (playing out of position: he's not an AM, he's a mezzala), he lost his confidence (San Siro crushed better players than him), he damaged the club with his words.
But he's still a good player, he knows how to treat the ball and play in possession.

If Spalletti can split Brozo's personality à a Fight Club (blocking a last-minute fly to Sevilla last January), find his role and make him a consistent performer – it took a while – can he inspire a Seedorf-esque and nonchalant confidence in Joao Mario?

Eder is gone and the Portoguese is already changing his life and moving in different directions.
