That's not true browha.I confirm that.

Er, no

I qualified my opinion.

At Inter it was 1 in 5. At City in his first season it was 1 in 5. Second season more like 1 in 3. This season now, its more like 1 in 1 because the other 4 out of 5 he doesn't even play.

If you're unable to parse the comments I'm making, I suggest you need to do some more analytic thinking and comprehension.

And I certainly haven't once seen you make an apology for criticizing Branca or Moratti ;)

Lol, I actually praised Branca last summer, get a fucking clue.

It's your problem that you've missed some of my posts, including the one saying I'm sorry for doubting Strama.

Yes, it is. If I missed them then I apologize. This is the first set of posts I remember you making since the end of last season. And you're not even on my ignore list! How inexplicable.

Fortunately there are those of us who actually know what they are talking about, and never once doubted Strama ;)

There is no point of discussing it tbh, if he`s gona leave Mancity (which I find unlikely) he`s going to be heading to the club he likes the most.

No chance, even with The Wall`s ass licking and shoes kissing, that he`ll be back to Inter. I mean he`d be really stupid if he really comes back to us. I mean really plain dumb.

I just find it really embarrassing that the club inquire for this asshole, the chances that he turn us down is more than 90%, Merda could offer him less than we`ll offer and he`ll still choose them over us.

I hope Moratti and Branca aint that stupid, although gotta admit they sometimes are :palm:. And I certainly wish Strama values the team`s current morals and the chemistry he is trying to build in the squad, buying such an asshole would just ruin everything.

There is a reason that Mourinho ignored Balotelli and hardly used him after that Barca match and still won us the treble after a very tiring May games.

Palacio`s current form with his work rate and contribution to the team is 10 times more than Balotelli would ever dream to make at Inter.

Fuck Balotelli for life baby! I would welcome Ibra with open arms than ever to let this piece of garbage set foot into this club again.

I suggest you to make yourself more clear in your opinions. You never said it like this lol.

Inter 1/5
City(1.) 1/5
City(2.) 1/3

Italy??

(which is also untrue but let's focus on you talking shit and forgeting about it later now)

You just kept repeating he is capable of playing one good game out of 5 like he does that on every level. (Inter, Man C. NT)

Well, there you go, my opinion is now qualified.

Happy?

If he was so good, every single manager he's ever played at a club under wouldn't have fallen out with him and/or wanted him out. And we're not talking about fucking Zeman or anything here, we're talking about MOURINHO for gods sake. If Mourinho can't properly motivate a player, no one ever will.

And yet Prandelli somehow can. :)

Also, Balotelli was a huge part of our treble success like it or not. Didn't play in the CL but made winning Serie A possible by scoring and asisting a lot in his limited minutes.

the biggest contribution i remember from balotelli in the scudetto year was the game against... roma? where we were like 3-0 down at half time and he came on at half time and decided he wanted to at least draw. Some of the points he earned us in the CL group stage were certainly important - no contest there - but a HUGE part? I think is a bit unfair. I think we would have still done it without him.

Lol, so much for not hating this guy.

Yeah, Arnautović would have done it.

I never said Arnautovic would have done it. But this is the year where we had Milito and Eto'o both in absolutely top form, for one. We didn't need Balotelli for Siena.

It's not hating, its just my opinion. I dont think we would have not won the treble if we didn't have Balotelli. The Roma game was the one time I remember being like - holy fuck, this guy is good. The ONE time that season.

Maybe I've forgotten a few games, please, let me know if you can think of some other specific games where he was beastly.

---------- Post added at 11:31 ---------- Previous post was at 11:26 ----------

okay, i'm looking now.

Palermo 5-3, he scored 2 decisive goals.
Chievo 1-0, winner there.
Inter 1 - 1 Parma he scored a goal
Inter 3 -2 Udinese opener
Inter 4 -3 Chievo winner

5 games where he made a difference. I bet Maicon probably had more of an impact. And, as I said, don't tell me Eto'o or someone wouldnt have filled his boots. If I remember correctly, at least the Palermo game, it was entirely Eto'o who created both the Balotelli goals? Indeed one of them was even over the line practically after a shot by Cambiasso, Balotelli just smacked it as hard as he could, because he could.

So you are comparing one of our best players and starter who played big minutes with the guy who was coming off the bench for the whole season basically? Wow.

You sir are a hater. :)

---------- Post added at 12:36 ---------- Previous post was at 12:33 ----------

We won it awfully close, making difference in 5 games was HUGE for us.

Making difference in Coppa finals was also HUGE.

. And I certainly wish Strama values the team`s current morals and the chemistry he is trying to build in the squad, buying such an asshole would just ruin everything.

There is no factual evidence he would do it.

Also, I'm yet to read a better solution for us in terms of transfer fee/talent/upside/age... So if you have a better idea I'm anxious to read it.

---------- Post added at 12:59 ---------- Previous post was at 12:46 ----------

Fortunately there are those of us who actually know what they are talking about, and never once doubted Strama ;)

When asking how much longer('till he is sacked) questions right? :)

Give me a fucking break. :) I'm the last person to call anyone out regarding Strama because he has proven me wrong but don't act like you gave your 100% support when things didn't look very good.

---------- Post added at 13:02 ---------- Previous post was at 12:59 ----------

Leave aside this.From managerial perspective why do you believe such a move would be profitable for the club?

Let's see:

-his connections with Cassano and Strama
-his talent
-age
-cheap(er) price we could get him for
-his girlfriend being pregnant and living close to Milano(may help him mature a bit)

Er, I asked a valid question at a time where we hadn't won at home.

I will never fanboy anyone. If we dont succeed, then I dont back him. But I NEVER criticized him. I've highlighted a few of his mistakes from time to time, or areas where he is unproven, but I've never called for him to be sacked.

I just asked people's opinions, how much longer - if we dont win at home - does he go before he gets reviewed for sacking.

That's a fair question. You can work out how much people are fanboying him (or against him) based on their answer. Some people say 3 games, some people say 40...

100% support =/= asking if he should be fired.

Saying he should not under any circumstances is but you didn't type anything like that, did you?

There are people who did say stuff like that, Cafe Cordoba comes to mind.

I simply asked when OTHER people felt he should be fired.....

I've been 100% behind Strama since before he was appointed our manager...

Fan boying = WE CAN NEVA FIRE HIM!!!

100% support = he's doing very well, i hope he can build on this, he's got very good attributes and we're doing better than, arguably, at any point since mourinho

<100% support = ITS NOT GOOD ENOUGH SACK THE FUCKER


I've supported him 100% since ~mid-Jan this year.

I was never once in favour of any firing of Stramaccioni. I had some criteria I would like him to meet for my full support blindfolded till the end of the season, which he has now satisfied, but I simply wanted to find out other people's opinions.

I understand its hard for you to try and understand or even garner other people's perspectives, but some of us actually enjoy seeing all the sides of an argument and making a decision based on that ;)

I dont want to be part of the argument. But I'd love to see Mario back at Inter. This is the best environment for him to come back.

Mostly though that means PSG will sign him.
