Balotelli as captain?

[LoveCity]

I saw this in a Guardian blog...

Mario Balotelli to be Manchester City captain. At last the Premier League has a character, a figure in the lineage of Eric Cantona and Roy Keane, who were fine captains. Leaders are chosen to send a particular message, so to have the firework enthusiast taking Manchester City into battle would give the title pretenders the final prerequisite of all great teams: personality. It might also calm him down. A little.

Could it ever work??? Maybe not yet but down the line when he matures some more, even if as vice-captain and captain when VK is injured/rested. I'm kind of warm to the idea, I know Italy's manager played with the idea not so long ago and it'd be entertaining. When Balotelli is about 26 I can envisage him as someone like De Rossi, passionate and a bit wild, but inspiring his team-mates.

Kompany
Gareth Barry / Kolo Toure
Micah (Maybe)
YaYa ? Milner ?

Love all these newspaper bandwagon bum-chums with their new Balotelli love.

The kid's off his rocker, of course City fans would love him. Some of us loved Christian Negouai. We were made for each other.

On topic though, not a chance

[Halfpenny]

The idea is about as bonkers as Mario himself.

Therefore it'll happen.

Why bother posting a thread off this drivel?

It would be similar to Adel Taarabt being captain of QPR in a way. And he is a shit captain.
