errr no we're not. Haven't missed either of them. The last thing we need is Menez's haphazard play, and the opposition having a player to wind up in Balotelli. strength in depth is important, but I would much rather have reliable hands in luiz adriano coming on than Menez or Mario.

Mario Starts as soon as he's fit imagine him and niang together...

I don't want to imagine. Cerci, Niang and Bacca play their hearts out, and we don't become a pariah for the opposition and their fans. Mario has a lot of work to do to gain my trust. The moment he's on the pitch, I cannot relax because you're almost guaranteed at least one yellow a game with him. He falls over too easily, becomes the focal point of attention and the atmosphere becomes toxic. I want 11 players who run and are committed. If he puts in at least one season of committed and petulance free performances, then I will be won over. But for now and for the sake of the tranquillity that has been created around the team, my hope is he never touches the pitch for the rest of the season. too much risk and way too much needless stress.

he's the new balo now
