Mario Balotelli

[moof]

Have you got Moof on ignore?

Who the fuck would rep that? Idiots.

[LFC 6 Times]

Fuck it, potentially magnificent or catastrophic. Very excited by this and would be equally entertaining. Even if it is a disaster he still would fetch a fair bit from a MLS or Qatar bases team looking for a big name or publicity.  

[Bad Red Bull]

One thing for sure is that if he signs, we will top the tv money league again.

 

In all seriousness, if Rodgers and Peters can't sort him out then no one probably can.

My money's on no-one.

On the plus side he's only 24, has a point to prove and is undeniably a talent.

 

On the negative side Rodgers will have another character to manage and the UK media will be all over him. I'm surprised FSG are willing to risk it.

[Bjornebye]

I think mancini was a shit man manager. And also a shit manager. That team he had the season he won it should have won it with 8 games left.

[zigackly]

No player is bigger than the club, but Balotelli's ego might be.

Hello, Zig.

Good to read you again.

 

Mario, give us a bite!

Mario, Mario, give us a bite!!

[Naz17]

Biggest concerns with him are his team ethic and whether he disrupts the squad's sense of togetherness. No questions about talent or performance when he is "on his day".

[Redder Lurtz]

Well according to the press it's not happening. We're beginning to look a tad desperate now aren't we. We've clearly got money to spend but there's absolutely zero strategy.

[Guest Numero Veinticinco]

It could well turn out to be a genius move. We need to gamble to keep up with the big spenders.

[Frankenhooker]

None of the articles I've read say that. They all state we've made a bid, each article has a different fee, and don't say whether it's happening one way or another.

He's contributed to our local economy in the past.

Shows how times have changed, when going out gets you a fine - when we were winning everything in the 80's the players were out on the piss all the time.

[Turkish Delight]

I can't see how someone so lazy would fit the way we play and I'd be concerned of the effect his poor work ethic could have on others. I also think his ability is way over-played and that he is not the special talent he is proclaimed to be.

 

If we sign him he will end up among our worst ever signings in my opinion.

Just going by bbc sport.

[J-V]

If he wasn't such a lazy fucker he'd be perfect.  However at £3million more than Borini and cheaper than a Bony it's worth the risk.

[Frankenhooker]

BBC Breaking News - Liverpool in talks with Milan over permanent deal for Mario Balotelli.

 

More to follow...

 

Seems there's something in this.  Perhaps Steve Peters needs to keep busy. 

[ZonkoVille77]

I really think this is a bad move. He'll unsettle the whole show. I'm already imagining Gerrard bollicking him for not passing when he shoots from 40 yards and then sulks and gets booked. One of the best bets you can do is back balotelli to get booked in a game. He's a moron. This interview with Shitcoat sums up the dopey fuck. No thanks. (BTW I reserve the right to love him if we sign him and he scores a hat trick against the mancs)

Shitcoat does not like anybody, even himself

[Hades]

This shit is similar to last season. "Send that twat Suarez to the reserves, we don't want a disruptive influence in the side." Liverpool fans are a strange bunch.

[Stickman]

I guess the one good thing for me is the similarity with the signing of Sturridge, another player who when we signed him was sort of in the last chance saloon with going to a big club and if it hadn't worked out he was going to spend the rest of his career in at mid-table clubs like Utd.

Sturridge though has embraced that and got even better so hopefully if we get him this loon he can do the same......

[bizzle10]

I really dont get this one balotelli is a liability he is totally unreliable this smacks of desperation i hope its a ploy to lure falcao out

[johnsusername]

I can't see how someone so lazy would fit the way we play and I'd be concerned of the effect his poor work ethic could have on others. I also think his ability is way over-played and that he is not the special talent he is proclaimed to be.

 

My thoughts too.

 

I dont think we're actually going to buy anyone.

To be fair, good strikers are like rocking horse shit, which is why they're going for stupid money.
