the telegraph are quoting 23m for balotelli. decent fee if true

very decent

 

[i8rags]

if he comes,think he will prove you wrong.but only time will tell.

and I would love him too, but I think he's such a huge gamble that for a team that MUST get Champions League football it's a huge risk and I'd rather have the safe bet in a Dzeko than Balotelli is, I don't see why we have to take the risk on this guy, who's basically a little baby in a big situation who basically needs constant support and care and management, going beyond the racist abuse he suffers, that is common in Spain and Italy.

So you still think he's done fuck all in his career?

fuck all in relation to a £30m price tag, yes.

rooney 25 mill, 5 years ago, what had he done and by the way his attitude still stinks.

Tagliatelle...Balotelli...

Our Bobby knows quality when he see's it and we should all trust him on this.

We are signing potential and the money is of no relevance whatsoever, a player is worth whatever the buying club is willing to pay, regardless of the amount and if we do business and our owner signs the cheque, then he is deemed worth whatever the amount is!

Sign him up Bobby, potentially a world star of the future.

Yeah, Balo is just a petulant little twat with a horrible attitude who will ruin our club. His 'antics' such as throwing his short on the floor, getting sent off, and wearing the shirt of his boyhood club after being verbally abused his whole life by his 'home team' prove this.

He completely deserves the racist abuse he gets thrown at him by the Italian fans, the double standards by the Italian FA in the Totti incident, and oh yeah, he proper deserves that a bunch of fans tried to kill him by fucking with his car's brakes because he's a black Italian. We should all start singing "there's no negro Italians" and "Jump up and down and Balotelli dies" even when we aren't playing against his team, because he dares to get a bit pissed off at times that despite the fact that he was born in Palermo and grew up in an Italian family, he's black therefore deserves all of this abuse.

Did I mention that he's 19?

What exactly would you do at 19 if the above happened to you, by your home fans and the country that you so desperately worked for to represent at international level?

Balo's adoption from his Ghanian family to his Italian family when he was a toddler had some messed up paperwork or something, and he actually had to wait until last year to represent Italy at international level (Under 21s). This is despite the fact that Ghana have called him up several times (and have just won the U21 World Cup or something, so they aren't shit), yet he refused because he was determined to play for the country he so loves.

They repay this by trying to murder him for the colour of his skin.

So, just perhaps, we can let the fact that he threw his shirt on the ground, and was maybe a bit of an angry young teenager go, in the face of all this?

Of course not. This is the world of journalistic platitudes, where footballers aren't real people and have no motive at all for acting out apart form "being a twat" who would "ruin our club" that legends such as Joey Barton helped build.

Yes, he believes in himself maybe a bit too much. He's a kid who's being consistently bullied on and off the pitch his whole life. His attitude isn't one like some other players who sit around whinging with bags of self entitlement. Balotelli's attitude is very much a "fuck you all, I'll succeed anyway".

This kid is an unbelievable talent at such a young age, and he's only going to get better. perhaps if he comes to a place where we don't shout "negro" at him, and don't try to kill him, he might just settle down a bit hey?

The most thoughtful piece you've written mate...<br /><br />-- Wed Jul 21, 2010 9:31 am --<br /><br />

Well fuckin said that sir. Let's not(in true city fan style) judge him before he's come here and kicked a fuckin ball, give him a fuckin chance he's 19 years old. He's scored more goals in his career than, Baggio, del Piero and Totti had at his age. He is absolutely massive in Italy even in Rome all the papers had his picture on the back page about his move to us. Cannot wait for him to sign.

Oh, and Baggio and Totti were ten times the twat that Balo was at his age. Hell, Totti is STILL ten times the twat that Balo is.

Speaking of Totti and Balo, this is the type of shit that he has to put up with:

[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1d9dESIrvLg[/youtube]

This was retaliation because when Balo scored twice against the racist chanting Roma fans, he did the "hush" gesture where he put his fingers to his lips.

For this premeditated, possibly career ending incident, Totti got a twenty grand fine despite saying to him that he was a "****** piece of shit". Totti earns around two hundred grand a week.

I'm not saying Balo isn't a bit of a dick, because he can be at times and he does sometimes do a bit of diving from time to time. What I'm trying to stress is that he's a kid put in the pressure cooker of Italian football's race politics, and his acting out is nothing that is unforgivable.

EDIT: Oh, and Totti was banned for four Cup games too, the internet tells me. Still, for the words he said and the actions he took which was premeditated, you'd expect something a bit heavier.

Totti is clearly a racist ****... Look at the hatred on his face!!!!

I think its a bit unfair to label every inter milan fan as "racist", there are a stupid few, just like, im sure there are some racist fans at City matches

It's unfair to label every Inter fan a racist, I agree. BUT the Italian racism problem is FAR worse than the English one. We've grown out of our racist period, the Italians still have a long way to go.

 

[hello]

The guy is 19 and has done fuck all

Serie A: 3

Supercoppa Italiana: 1

Coppa Italia: 1

UEFA Champions League: 1

Not worth 23 Million Shrek was about the same cost and all he had done is score a good goal against Arsenal and shagged a few grannies.

Also he will be classed as home grown once he has been with us for 3 years as it's 3 seasons up on till 31 August between 16-21, just another example of how screwed up platini and his cronies are.

easy to stick team achievements on an individual, hardly was a Diego Milito last season.
