João Mário

I couldn't give a shit about his price tag. I almost never mention he is overpriced, probably never even mentioned it. My issue is only one, Joao Mario is an average player who we don't need at Inter right now.

I don't know what you see in Mario, but Mario has been poor in many sectors. Most of his passes are ala Medel, sideways or backwards. He also always requires an extra touch on the ball. He can't really play 1-2, most of times when he plays 1-2 it is screwed up. When he lost the ball, he rarely tracked back. His shooting is worse than amateur level.

Oh, I gave him credits in the beginning of his Inter career because he gave a glimpse of hope but then he disappeared completely. Rafinha is a risk but you can see the technique is there, at least Rafinha thinks quickly about what to do with the ball. Rafinha scored 2 goals and gave 3 assists in 17 matches, whereas Mario scored 3 goals with 5 assists in 1 season. Rafinha is probably a big gamble, but I rather take a gamble on a player who is willing to fight than a lazy asshole.

Cancelo is a different matter. Cancelo's honeymoon period was worse, he played super bad, it was so bad until he wanted to go back to Valencia. However, he stayed and improved. Again, I'd rather gamble on someone who fights for their cause than one who just fades away when situation isn't in his favour.

it's not that simple, with the FFP, we simply cannot afford to sell him for a net loss on the books. As a minimum, we need to break even financially.
wit him, i think we just need to sit tight and wait for the WC, he will appreciate and then we can sell him at a much better price

Joao Mario is more talented than any of our current midfielders without a question. The question is however his mental state regarding Inter AND if he suits Spallettis style of play, thats a totally different talk and ill leave that in the hands of Spalletti himself cause hes earned the trust to make the right call. But make no mistakes, Mario is more talented than any other midfielders weve got if hes gonne be good with us is another story however.

You sound like describing Vecino above, guess some interisti just have short term memory loss or just never watch Inter play, and comparing him with medel lol he even made precise 1-2 pass to Perisic with HIS FUCKIN BALD HEAD. Again his shooting, he shoot fine at other team but Inter this season, how is that happening? Same goes with our other player beside Perisic and Icardi, did those also Mario fault?

Yeah sure, 3 goals and 5 assist with shitty season of Inter which changing coach 3 times, and even this season which some people like you say he had worst season and being useless he still provide 5 assist to us. People bitchin about Mario missed a sitter while the fact even La Masia born like Rafinha also misses like 4-5 chances in box and suddenly being complete fool when play for Inter, did that also Mario fault? dont forget Mario is also provide 2 goals and couples assist for West Ham in his short loan spell. And stop deluded keep bringing that Laziness bullshit unless you have a proved he is being someone who like Gabigol who choose to go clubbing or someone like Kdogbia who really actually misses the training session. Every player is normal to have on/off season, because no one can keep his performance always 200% in every games, like I gave example on Icardi thread how people praising Rafinha guts at Sassuolo games while on Lazio games when the pressure is high he become invisible and not at his best form.

And again Im not even trying to pitch Mario and Rafinha to each other since like I said at first, Mario could be usefull if he fill Gagliardini role and play alongside Brozovic with either Rafinha or Nainggolan play as our trequartista. Because of what?

1. Right now, No one wants pay more than 25 mil for him and we will at loss if selling him lower that prices. Send him out of loan for another year is a dumb move.
2. there is no better replacement even if manage to sells him, when someone unproven like Barella or Cristante cost 40mil, you know you cant find a better replacement for him financially or technically.
3. We need a depth, I had enough of nightmare when we only have Brozo and gagliardini as our midfielder. And with only Borja and Vecino as our bench our option which look so limited from technical view. Since he is allrounder midfielder, it could give us many option for every tactic.
4. I know we cant afford 3mil wage shitting on the bench, but again we Had Champion league this season which could give enough exposure needed for our player. Playing for Inter at Champion league will give him boost than if we send him to loan again to West ham. One or couple nices games we probably will get his prices back and easier to selling him if needed.

Joao Mario speaks Italian very well. “Maybe I was good at learning it quickly, keep practicing it,” he said. Then, he applauded his former teammates at Inter for reaching the Champions League: “I am happy for them, deserved goal.”

But the “nice” version of Joao Mario stops here. “Inter? I do not want to try again. I lack the necessary motivation. This experiences is over, zero doubts.”

The Portuguese made 47 appearances from August 2016 to January 2018, greeted as a midfielder of the future especially after the Euro in France but he only managed to score three goals and provided 12 assists. “Too much pressure? But I am still worth 45 million euros.”

Why this anger?

“It is not anger. I am just looking at the one and a half year spent in Milan and my idea is clear: I will not go back.”

Isn’t this a “weak” thinking process for a European champion?

“I am just sincere. There is no fire inside me to rekindle the desire to play for Inter again. When I arrived, I was fired up for a project that seemed to be taking off. Too bad that things went differently.”

Like what?

“Summer 2016 was tough, from all points of view: change in ownership and the coaching situation was not stable: Mancini, De Boer and then Pioli. Too much confusion and for new signings like myself and Gabriel Barbosa, it was hard.”

Extenuating circumstances or real problems?

“The chaos at that time was evident. This is another reason why I was not able to express myself at my best.”

Who is to blame?
“The responsibilities were of Inter and the general environment, probably of the Italian football which was not for me.”

And what if after the World Cup you are still an Inter player?

“It would be useless to show up at Appiano, despite having a valid contract until 2021. I hope that we can find a solution as soon as possible, maybe before the end of the World Cup. In football, just like in life, one must be honest and understand when things end. And with Inter, it is over.”

How would to respond to a call from Juve or Milan?

“I do not know if they are like Inter so it is hard to answer. I would say that Italian football is not a good fit for my characteristics. In short, I would say no to Milan and Juventus not because I played at Inter. The fact is that I do not like Serie A.”

What do you think of Spalletti?

“An excellent coach, he is not the problem.”

Inter are in Champions League, are you still happy for them?

“Yes, absolutely. I still have a lot of friends that I love there. I can only be happy for them. It was time to return to the Champions League.”

Is Joao Mario worth 45 million?

“That was how much they spent on me so yes. I never felt any kind of pressure, this kind of talk came from outside the club. I am convinced of my value and I know that I am worth this money.”

Where will you play next year?

“I am evaluating, the Premier League is ideal: spectacular environment, physical and technical. This is my first choice and then La Liga. West Ham could be an idea but for now it is too soon to talk about it.”

Imagine if no worthy offers come in for him and he ends up staying. Boy, that would be awkward...

Fucking loser

Solfice · Jun 4, 2018

Weak mentality. Just like Kondogbia. Don't need these kind of players.

chipschups · Jun 4, 2018

Another day, another player feel mistreated by Inter, whats new. IF their best player like Icardi got harassed by the club and interisti every fkn damn time, there is no chances for someone like kdog or Joao mario to cope all of that pressure. And this isnt happen only in recent banter era but already over decade ago. Good luck Mario hope you find the best for you!!!

He wasn't mistreated, he just give up or "didn't like" Seria A. He is just another Kondogbia. Loser.

Revv · Jun 4, 2018

Hahahahaha he was trash anyway. Honestly glad he isn’t coming back. Waste of space and waste of so much fucking money. Damn I had hope for him at first but he never valued the club itself. We even gave him the 10. The fuck is he talking about

Tell that to other young talent who failed miserably at inter. Fun fact in past 20 years the only youngster we had who actually survive from all of that pressure from inter and interisti is named Icardi, and you know what people still shitting on him and wanting him to leave but sorry he didnt give a damn fuck!!! Some interisti born as loser and only god know who others youngster who sacrificing at youngster graveyard like Inter. Lautaro you better run boy, Zanetti and milito tricked you with cheap candy, you 100x better and guaranted to be world class player if play under Simeone wings.

Brozovic as an asshole in his first and a half season showed way more talent than this overrated prick.

What a disrespectful asshole, he is our most expensive buy and two years later he comes up and says “Serie A is not for me” with ease. Fuck off.

We ruined a lot of youngsters yes, but this fucker has got only himself to blame. However, it’s a huge mistake by Suning, well played Kia.

Hasan · Jun 4, 2018

I don’t know why people overrating this idiot so much, he can do everything but he’s not exceptional in anything. Didn’t develop at all, he had talent but stayed there, on that level from 2-3 years ago.

When I first saw him he reminded me on young Luka Modric, he was solid in everything and you could feel that he can do more, with time and hard work next step it’s just matter of time.

Mentality

Modric got “worst transfer of the year” award after first year in Madrid but that didn’t stop him to fight even harder to become one of the best midfielders in last decade while Mario concluded that serie A doesn’t fit to his characteristics and that West Ham suits him better. Fuckin West Ham!

We don’t need players with that mentality and I hope we won’t lose too much money on him.

Il Drago · Jun 4, 2018

Well, if he thinks he's worth 45m it will be very easy for him to find a team willing to spend at least 25m+. That wasn't the case 6 months ago. And if he doesn't find any, then he will be at Appiano Gentile whether he likes it or not. People are comparing him with Kondogbia but not even Kondogbia was that arrogant. Kondogbia has even admitted he was to blame as well for his failure at Inter. I was a fan of Joao Mario when we first got him but fuck him. Show me the money and get the fuck out.

hitmax · Jun 4, 2018

Such a loser mentality. He was paid milions but he doesnt care because he doesn' like serie a. Inter ruins many career but not this guy, this piece of shit didnt even try to prove himself while he had many chances.
