Balotelli & City agree settlement!

[bernabias home shirt]

Because he is a very good footballer that is wanted by top clubs across Europe and has scored nearly 40 goals for us?

And it would be nice if some of the anti-Balotelli posters could try and make a point without resorting to homosexual comments. Just once perhaps.

Top clubs
No fucker wants him

Ballon d'Or nominee says to me that the football world rates him.higher than some on here.

Is that his get out of jail card?
Who cares

I'm not sure comparing convicted and appealing rapists and paedophiles has any real direct relation to a footballer taking his employer to tribunal over a disciplinary fine.

Nor do i think our club/players are stupid enough to publicly criticise one of their own, if you believe everything that comes out of their media trained mouths, then more fool you.

as i stated its the appeal process that is the issue, i made comment on the murderers and rapists to accentuate how stupid some peoples comments were

PSG, Inter and AC not top clubs.

Oh how far we come as a club when we can look down on those 3.

Ive not seen a bid come in from these clubs
Do you know something we dont?

The PFA think otherwise.

Again, that is unfair on the club.

They pay near £20 million on a player, pay him £100k a week and he's unavailable for 11 games because of his own actions, and they can't fine him 2 weeks wages?

Under the current guidelines which are accepted by all parties, no the can't. And this is why the PFA allowed the appeal to go ahead. If you don't like the rules, change the rules.

I would imaging that the PFA were quite happy to accept a compromise solution meaning the rules don't get examined and possibly changed and no president is made.

But to be clear. In the view of the player and his union the club acted outside of the guidelines and therefore an appeal was justified.

Fair enough, but surely you can agree that in this case it's unfair on the club.

I know you don't agree with the Liverpool red, but taking that out, being unavailable for selection for 10 games, after the investment paid in the player is unacceptable?

 

[didactic]

Hopefully it means he can get his City career back on track, get training properly, and enjoy and contribute fully to the City revolution.

get the lazy fuck out!!!!! why are we even still talking about this worthless piece of shit? Unless we start games with a designated penalty shooter who does nothing else but sit on the sideline looking pissed off, what other quality does he have?

Sounds a bit personal there mate and verging on more than dislike for a player. You may want to be careful there.

 

[BoyBlue_1985]

Again, if the player is responsible for missing games and being unavailable for selection.

It's unfair that the club can't take action

Yes but what if its not true. Think for a second. Its to protect the little guys

I understand what your saying, but with the exception of the Liverpool sending off, Mario missed 10 games deservedly.

That's a lot of games to miss, when you've invested heavily in the player.

Im not going to argue this any more I agree with a rule that stops lower league players getting screwed over it has to be all encompassing so that's all there is to it

Re: Balotelli & City agree settlement!

Two years with nothing to show for it

I would argue that he doesn't have nothing to show for his time at the club so far.

It might not be as much as you or I would like but I think people have lost sight of the fact that he has contributed to the clips success in a positive way.

 

[shadygiz]

Two years with nothing to show for it, the novelty has worn off, its taken until the 11th hour to call the bluff on his and his legal team's 'willy waving'.

How many last chances, i'm not even sure the squad see him as an asset, more of a nuisance. The talent is there, the application isnt... he's wasting a squad space for someone who actually wants it.

Taking your own club to tribunal, when you're Mario Balotelli... it was never going to end well!

vinny, our captain, seemed to speak well of him the other night, in spite of redknaps quivering bottom lip

Well he's not exactly going to call his team mate a **** on t.v is he.

and by the same rule, he didnt have to big him up to redknap either, but he did

Who cares

Who cares?

The people who make the nominations are:
"the FIFA Football Committee and a group of experts from France Football"

So they do at least!

 

[pudge]

and surely having the same basic rights as a murderer or rapist has is acceptable

I addressed that point when you made it the first time

so you agree he has the right to appeal?

as for the two weeks wages, no i dont agree as this is aganst his unions rules and is there to protect lower paid footballers....shit rolls down hill mate

I agree that everyone has the right to appeal, that's a basic right.

But I feel that it's unfair that a player can miss 10 games through their own actions, that could have been prevented, and not face any punishment.

I know that that's the rules, it's just I personally don't agree with them, surely that's understandable.

That's all
