João Mário

[M.Adnan]

What a shame. This guy has wasted his football career. He's been living like 38 years old football nearing retirement. Wasted his most important football years doing nothing.

nit bad for 3m a year after tax

 

[Il Drago]

windows are a shit show this year. The Serie A and EPL ones (off hand) are closed, which means *WE* cannot register any new players (outside of out of contract)... but portugal isnt, which means we can still sell players to them.

Still an improvement over last season where each league had a different end date.

 

[Bluenine]

What is Mario's thread still doing here? Did the loan deal fall through?

[ADRossi]

He hasn't been loaned anywhere yet. Still an Inter player.

Worst of it is he has talent. Weve seen impressive performances from him. Just a shit attitude.

And shit shots

MaisFutebol - the player will arrive on loan without purchase option with Sporting Lisbon paying part of the wages about €1M. He will have a medical today.

See, this is the part I've always disagreed. I hate this guy. What is he above average at on a football pitch? He's not fast or particularly intelligent. He doesn't unlock defenses with his passing. He's poor (borderline useless) defensively. He can't shoot from distance. I don't even know what position this guy should be deployed in. He reminds me of a 37 year old Borja Valero - only useful for short passes and holding on to the ball against opponents who are parking the bus.

And to top it all off, he's a first-rate whiner.

What talent exactly? hes not particularly good with ball nor is he fast and strong. Talent with shit attitude describes balotelli perfectly, not this guy.

Cant wait for this 40m deadbeat to leave inter permanently.

 

[Kramerica Industries]

Contract expires after 2021-'22. Which means, come this time next year (actually, less than a year from now), he'll either be loaned and not given a new contract, or just sold for whatever paltry sum, and this anal polyp will finally be gone.

Disagree as well. He doesn't excel in anything from what I've seen of him, even at his high point of his career, the EC 2016 he was utter mediocre. We got fucked by that shady agent and the Portuguese market in general. 40m just thrown in the toilet and the turd we got for it doesn't flush at all.

 

[Harpsabu]

Now, I'm not saying he's 40m euro quality. But he showed nice dribbling, passing and close control.
Maybe talent is the wrong word, potential maybe better.

Ciao Mario

[Cómi]

Dry loan. When will Inter be rid of the curse?

 

[Bluenine]

Its confirmed now.

Inter have officially sent midfielder Joao Mario on loan to Sporting CP, without an option to buy.

Inter don't even bother to negotiate an option anymore. Some turds you just cannot flush down. He will be back.

 

[.h.]

i can kind of imagine the conversaiton where sporting want an option, and then our lawyers are just like... look, youo know you wpont use it, lets just save ourselves the hassle on the paperwork and leave it out

 

[CafeCordoba]

So we end up paying again most of his salary? Jesus what a sale season by our mercato masters.
