Small upgrade I'd say! He's mental, and he's wildly inconsistent, but when he is on his game he's quality. Way above anything we could have without the mental issues.
He's only on 60k a week these days according the media. That sort of money is a bargain. Dickhead though. He'll probably sign for a better club than us.
Would certainly get the crowds in and the type of zany figure that would fire us up.. Thinking about it again, Yep and a big YEP..
He was gonna go to Bologna mate, an absolute pisspot club and they wouldn't be paying him much, they couldn't.
In a blink mate. A full Italian international with a proven goals record excluding last season right up to international level, for half the cost of Rhodes? You always feel Mario needs to be adored, and for all he's a twat he'd be our twat and we'd love him like. Aye, no brainer.
High profile as well, whichever way you look at it. Will Rhodes make other players on the continent notice SAFC? Will Balotelli? We all know the answer to both.
Monty's stood at the side of the A1 near that bridge with Gouranga written on it, he's waiting for Balotelli's bus to go past and he's gonna set a stinger out on Scotch Corner so he can kidnap him and make him persuade Roberto Baggio to come out of retirement, Balo, Baggio and Zlatan forward line for next season... where's that lighter fluid at?
First thing I thought of when I read this was the Djib, another bonkers player but for the most part we loved him while he was here
Djib was nuts but I'd compare Mario to someone much less likeable, perhaps Chimbonda, Suarez even. I couldn't bring myself to support him I don't think. Also have reservations over his performances, very unpredictable. Lots of his goals will have been pens too I would guess.
