If it weren't for him, MC would not be where they are in silverware the past couple of years. In fact, Mancini removing him from the FA cup final this year sabotaged MC from further silverware. Perhaps Mancini's revenge to Carlito for the Bayern incident and to MCFC for his inevitable sacking. In any event, Carlito was a bulldog on the pitch and always a force with the ball whether scoring or passing. I believe it is good timing to part ways with Carlito as he would have been free to leave at season's end and MC was able to recoup monies for another player. However, as the author writes, the signing needs to be for someone just an explosive and effective as Carlito El Apache was! <br /><br />-NMUANTE<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4509309870771298997.post-56324004827648906972013-07-01T11:16:10.707-07:002013-07-01T11:16:10.707-07:00Self-obsessed isn't so much of a rarity these ...Self-obsessed isn't so much of a rarity these days, though, is it?

Revolutionaries make lousy heads of state.<br /><br />Syd Barrett. Brian Jones. Thomas Paine. Leon Trotsky. Catastrophic Geniuses all, mercurial and talented and thrilling. All of them were out of the picture by the time their chosen organizations had reached their various Promised Lands. European success awaits; Carlitos is not the man to take us there. He is too divisive, too mercurial, too apt to do something ridiculous. Catastrophic Geniuses end up in the madhouse, or face down in a swimming pool, or a pile of bones in some Englishman's attic, or bleeding to death in Mexico City.<br /><br />Or playing forward for Juventus.
