Mario Balotelli

This could be like when we signed Diouf instead of Anelka.

 

Anelka is Sanchez and Diouf is Balotelli.

 

I hope I'm wrong and he doesn't turn out like that little cunt

not a direct comparison as we had the choice of both diouf and anelka, and we made the wrong decision. 

 

Sanchez didn't want to play for us. nothing we can do about that

Really wanted Falcao but that seems to have gone with this deal seemingly in the final stages.

 

For £16m you can't really complain.  If he flops here completely then we can always recoup that from someone, at his age there will be enough takers willing to give him another chance.  It might help to look at it essentially as a one-year loan for a minimal price, because of the fact that if he doesn't settle and does something rash, we can always sell him on for at least £12 million next summer.

 

And if he does somehow manage to pull his head out his arse at least on the pitch with any level of consistency, then watch out. I think he has everything in his locker creatively and physically to be an Ibrahimovic. Maybe unlikely, but who knows? Lots of people grow up quite a bit in their mid-20s and lads you thought would never amount to anything suddenly get their lives together and make something of themselves. Why not Mario?

 

Aye, plus he's getting married soon I think.

I said a few weeks ago when we were first linked that kolo done an interview when he first signed saying Mario was no problem and Mancini could have handled him better.

 

Mancinis style was similar to rafas supposed style, not much man management and players just told if they are playing or not with no explanations.

 

Rodgers is much better in this area and as Ive said balotellis problems are not major, the worst hes done is a few reds on the pitch, if he performs more times then not fans will live with that.
