to say he "brought them the title" is false, unless he's also called Yaya Toure. Did he play a bigger part to their title than Eden Dzeko, who both scored and created more goals than Mario? Would you say Eden Dzeko "brought Manchester City the title? Of course not.

In fact, you could argue that Mario had a hand in almost costing City the title with his performance at the Emirates.

All that said... I'm still a huge Mario fan and do believe he has the potential to be the best striker in the world. Nothing to even argue about. But it's almost akin to saying Jeremy Lin was the best PG in the NBA last season. You can appreciate the awesomeness that actually exists without stretching it into something it isn't.
