Balotelli (continued - bust up with Mancini pg 18)

[daztrueblue91]

He will not even do that. He will become another Nicolas Anelka.

I don't see it, I think we have to accept Mario will never change however the next club he plays for will play to his strengths and he will start banging goals in for fun. Anelka messed his career up at an early age and was using clubs like us and Bolton as a stepping stone to another top club. Mario will go to another top club from us and will shine at them.

The next club he will play for will have an equally frustrating time as he hasn't shown the consistency needed to be a top class Footballer.

When has Mario had a solid run in the team?

And there has been many a times Tevez and Aguero haven't shown consistency but they still get picked.

 

[remember arthur mann]

Irrespective of what happens to Mario regarding all the crap the papers spout, lets hope Roberto has apologised to him for losing it AGAIN!

 

[Didsbury Dave]

For me Balotelli will never reach the echelons of a "great" footballer because by the time he want to become one he'll be a few years from retirement and that what Mancini sees that's why he's so frustrated with him what a waste

How many world footballers have been great at 22

How many people great at anything were great at 22

Because they kick a ball they should be is just plain idiotic

I'd say all of them.

How many world footballers have been great at 22

Nearly all of them.

Kun was wank object of whole football world, Dzeko Bundesliga player of the year and Tevez Brazilian League Player of the year at that age or younger.

That's only from City strikers.

Add Messi who already made 100 appearances by the age of 22.

The lad must be gutted.

I don't get what you are trying to prove by this. I am pointing out that Anelka was one of the best young strikers in Europe at the start of his career as shown by playing for the likes of Real Madrid and Arsenal. Then he lost his way a bit and or slightly messed his career up by ending up at a club like us at the time and the likes of clubs like Bolton and Fenebache before recapturing his true form and ending up at another top European club at Chelsea.

Surely you can see there is a massive difference between playing for major European clubs like Arsenal and Madrid to City and Bolton.

Injuries and suspensions have put paid to that. Both Tevez and Aguero have shown that if they were having a poor game then they still show the application and work-rate.

Mario has also shown an improved work rate this season and is also a more out and out striker than both Tevez and Aguero.

It seems like there are some so called City fans these days who can't wait to stick the boot into Mario. There are only two times that I have genuinely been disappointed with Mario whilst he has played for us and that was his Red cards against Arsenal and Dynamo Kiev. The rest is mainly just a load of bull shit media stories which are well over exaggerated.

And going back to Mario's form, when he has a bad game we should all get behind him rather than having a pop at the lad. Aguero has been off form all season (apart from the last few games), Tevez pissed off for 6 month, the majority of times Edin has started for us he has looked like a poor Dean Windass, Silva had a wank 2nd half to last season.

It just seems when players like Aguero, Silva, Vinny, Hart and Yaya have a bad game they can be excused and do no wrong. But when Balo, Dzeko or Nasri have a poor game we should get rid.
