A lot of reports in Italy that we had scouts at the Inter versus Palermo game at the weekend to watch him and Dybala. He's having a good season scoring 18 goals so far and seems to fit the Van Gaal blueprint for a striker pretty well. Pity he's such a controversial character but Van Gaal isnt exactly averse to these type of characters as shown by his relationship with Kluivert among others.
Mauro Icardi

Read about him earlier. Looks like a very tidy finisher. Im glad we're being linked with young forwards.
Argentina have some brilliant young attackers at the moment with Icardi, Vietto and Dybala. Correa was brilliant in the South American under 20s as well.
He's a beast on Fifa 15.
Maybe we'll buy him and Dybala and let Falcao and Rvp go, viva la Juice!
He's a major twat isn't he? Not sure if want.
His twattishness I guess depends on if you're Maxi Lopez or not, or if you like Maxi Lopez.
Great, another striker. Gotta get them all!
Regardless of what he's like, that highlights video was truly awful.
Half the play is cut off because of the way the screen has been cropped and for the first two minutes it's just replays of him getting fouled or complaining to the referee.

Yeah, he is. I want Dybala.
He's a total cnut. Makes Suarez look like a saint. Do not want.
Is this based purely off him stealing Maxi Lopez's wife and tattooing his kids name on his arm? I mean I think he seems a bit temperamental and possibly lazy, but to compare him to Suarez?
Just reading his Wikipedia page... He did a John Terry and took it a step forward by actually marrying his teammate's wife he had an affair with! Is this why people are labeling him a bastard? Or is he also a wanker on the pitch?
EDIT: Basically, what was said above.

It's not exactly great behavior but if we are going to start judging celebs, which footballers are now, on their sexual activity it's a slippy slope, I mean Giggsy was fecking his brothers wife for years and some of our current players are apparently involved with some seedy bathroom blowjob video and our Captain has been caught with hookers twice, once while his wife was pregnant.
Completely agree, I can't condone what Icardi did but it's not as if our player's and assistant manager are, or have been, well behaved in similar situations.
So both 21, both talented and both surrounded by, lets say, questionable temperament, for lack of better word.
Who is the better talent or who would suit us more Icardi or Dybala?

Why not both?
Freshen up the attack completely.

"Nara has certainly thrown herself into her relationship with Icardi. Already she has his name tattooed on her wrist, just as he has hers on his forearm. Relentless Twitter users, they caused a stir in November by exchanging a series of tweets using the hashtag #Quindicina – reportedly a reference to the fact they had made love 15 times during a frantic 28-hour stay together in Argentina."
I don't buy it. I bet they're using non-Clinton definitions of sex and throwing on a couple for good measure.

No more proper 9's. Rooney and Wilson are enough going forward. Let's find some goalscorers from wider.
He is talented, but this not enough.
Uh, no thanks. He's a good goalscorer and finisher but that's about it. Definitely don't think he's good enough for us. It's ridiculous that an increasing number of people are comparing him to Dybala. They're nothing alike.
Er lads, I'm not gonna be posting any pictures now, but go ahead and Google his now-wife Wanda Nara and you'll understand why he might have done what he did to get her...
but she already had like 3 kids with Maxi Lopez... unless all of them where born by C-Section, who knows how good is the situation down there.
Maybe he enjoys breast feeding.
Don't particularly think either will go on to be anything amazing but would rather Dybala than Icardi.
She aint all that. My first reaction was that a top level footballer could do much, much better.
Dybala is like a Griezmann 2.0. Maybe better. Composed on the ball, good passing, can drift to the sidelines, mopve into channels... participate on the build up of the attacking game. Can perfectly reach world class level someday.
the problem is he is a cnut:
"When I play with the Playstation, I always choose Barcelona or Manchester City," he told Guerin Sportivo. "I dream to play one day with one of those clubs."
Icardi on the other hand, is like Vieri 2.0. He needs to get the ball in the right position. Clinical in front of goal. Definitely more composed than Dybala in front of goal. Strong and with good hold up play with his back to goal.
But without proper service, he is quite useless.

How does this make him a cnut?
mercenary then? whatever... not the player we need, and he clearly doesn't rate us, so feck him.
That's reading a hell of a lot into a comment he made about a videogame, and how many South American's list Barca as their dream? Nearly all of them. As for the City comment, it makes sense given Tevez and then Aguero were their star strikers, if he watches the PL he's going to gravitate to his own nations top players.
Would fit in with our other strikers then.
To be honest neither Dybala nor Icardi strike me as the greatest characters and personalities... but then again I don't follow that much 'celebrity life', besides the things they do on the pitch (and occasional lusty glimpse at the chicks they bang :P ) but Neither Rooney nor Giggs have some remarkable 'clean' records behind them when it comes to behavior and / or women. And they still play(ed) like world class players. It would be nice if all guys could be good guys and so on, but when it comes to play and talent, I would mind having both Icardi and Dybala at United. Not likely, but two of them plus Wilson would be awesome. Icardi - Wilson could be my greatest wish unfulfilled, Shearer-Batistuta in United shirt v2.0
considering the sort of all round game that fans love from strikers he wouldnt be a hit at a club like ours. He is a proper striker, all he contributes to games are goals.
I've never seen him play at all, but does that last line of yours suggest he's a "Hernandez" type of player who's only good attribute is just scoring?
Yes. To give you an idea, think of Mario Gomes with better ball striking.
Even in the good photos on a Google search she looks like a ******.
Refreshing interview.
