I'll say from the outset that I was one of the supporters that for a long time backed Icardi when many other posters had rightfully turned their backs on him. For a long time, I feel that Harpsabu and I were the only two poster making a defence. I appreciated his goal scoring feats and the fact that he kept us afloat during our darkest days. I also had a dream that he would remain with us for the rest of his career and smash all scoring records.
However, there came a time when Icardi's refusal to play and Wanda's television antics and negotiating for a new contract could no longer be ignored or defended.
I was thinking about the trajectory of his career last night and wondered whether he had any idea at the time that being Inter's Captain and a leading goalscorer would ultimately be the high point of his career.
Even today, I cannot help but feel that he wasted his talent and career by getting involved with Wanda and gave up on being an Inter great.
And yes, Mauro and Wanda well and truly deserve each other but that does not make his fallout with Inter and footballing downfall any less sad.
