    Outsiders mocking our signing of Mariano. They think that we think that he will replace Penaldo.

    Bunch of mental midgets. LoL.

    Seriously, whoever thinks that he's a Cristiano replacement should stop watching football because they have no clue. Mariano is a much needed 2nd striker who is a perfect addition for our depth. With only two strikers, both of them will hopefully get plenty of minutes this season.

    I hope he scores a bicycle kick against Juve in CL finale.

    I think there is this bond with your place of birth, regardless of how little time you lived or spent there. At least for me. It's different for everyone. At the end of the day, it's his choice, his life.

    I think he was born in Barcelona though ( or in that area), only qualifying for DR because his father is from there, at least that’s what I read so not stating any facts.

    Yup, looks like it, so I guess his decision makes even more sense.

    This guy is a fcking striker man. Love his game and his attitude. Can't wait until he forces JL to ignore his Dominican roots and plays him more

    I had a student in class who apparently wasn't getting the class emails, she came up to me and said "Is it because I'm Dominican?" mostly joking. I assured her it was and that I had some very specific email related prejudices.

    But now with that goal, I'm ONLY sending the class emails to Dominicans.

    The moment Marcelo played him that ball, there was no other option for the boy. He knew exactly what he was going to do. That nutmeg was all instinct and the smash with the dip was calculated three or four seconds prior.

    Clinical, properly selfish when needed, ice cold finisher.

    which is his biggest strength..he broke the single season scoring record in Castilla that was set by Butragueño (25 goals in 28 games), if I am not mistaken.

    I love this guy, he brought a great energy into the game and has pretty nice right leg.

    But, what about his left leg? I watched couple of highlights, most of his turns are to the right and he barely touches the ball with his left.
    I watched Salah's interview about most of his improvement in last year was weaker leg. If Mariano manages to become (or stay - since he is "new") unpredictable, I think he can be really good striking option! :)

    God, I hope not.

    I remember seeing a glimpse of his play for us and I knew he was special. You could tell from his attitude, energy and finishing. Too bad he wasted much of his prime with Castilla

    He is just 25 yrs old. He is not late in development in my opinion.

    I feel like he's going to be one of those players that could have been world class but poor decision making completely off railed his career. Feel so bad for the kid. We're coming into the new year and it's like he's hardly had a sniff. Should have gone to Sevilla.
