It's just dumb politics to blame him. In reality the entire team played like shit and that's why they didn't make it out of the group stage. What Mario needs is a family, someone to love him for who he is and someone who will let him be himself. He's like the basketball player Dennis Rodman. He was a misfit with no future ahead of him, but then he found a team who loved him and embraced him, and he flourished, becoming one of the best players of his era. He didn't work in Inter and Man City because he's just one of many egos in those clubs. He needs a club where he isn't fighting with all the other stars. | ||

Hopefully he finds the same kind of thing with BR and Liverpool. Maybe Sturridge can teach him how to still have personality on and off the pitch without getting into trouble. Seems to have worked (so far) with Sterling. | ||

Doubt he'll get more than 100-150k a week. EDIT: Oops, comment above. Yea, $90K a week is nothing considering newcastle united had an average $100K a week salary (for their first team squad) when they got relegated to the championship. | ||

So many links, so few deals, can't keep anything quiet. Where would Di Maria play anyway? He would be wasted as a wingback in 3-5-2, if he plays the Robben position during WC then he's taking Rooney's role. Defensive cover is the most important concern right now, spend all the Di Maria money on paying Benatia pls. Do you really expect that mid table team without CL and already bad start of the season is primary option for them when they have offers from Bayer or PSG. On top of that Jones just got contract offer with wage rise so buying another defender seems less likely. | ||
