Balotelli (continued)

[Seosa]

I've whored this out a ridiculous amount of times, but quite frankly I think every word seems to be ringing true:

PSG bought Lucas Moura for £35m and he's never played outside of Brazil and couldn't even make it in their first team in the Olympics.

And Marin Jol is willing to buy Balotelli for 7m if he was available in January. :)

Mino could swing it, same agent!!!

His contract with City takes him to June 2015.

In a negotiation it is always key to recognise your own and the other party's strengths and weaknesses. It's hardly rocket science.

What is Mario's Achilles Heel? What is his raison d'etre? Playing for his country. It gives him a sense of personal vindication, which given his upbringing is entirely understandable.

A year on the sidelines would surely hamper his international chances.

The thought of missing out on a World Cup, and one in Brazil at that, would fill Mario with terror, for all his macho posturing.

If he pushes things too far, don't be surprised if that is a test that is applied to his resolve.

This is well reasoned. His national team is the only leverage we have.

No use moaning about the Italians taking advantage of our naivete in the transfer market and inability to judge character. Like taking candy from a baby.<br /><br />-- Tue Dec 18, 2012 6:09 pm --<br /><br />No use moaning about the Italians taking advantage of our naivete in the transfer market and inability to judge character.

Oh yes, they will be salivating after reading the news of Mario going against us. We're about to get bent over and done by a Serie A club like never before. Has "loan with option to buy for £12million, City pay 80% of his wages" written all over it.

This is my fear as well,and if that happens its a fucking disgrace,bout time we man up and get full value for the tit......10-15m tops though am afraid

We did well in the Robinho transfer, though. Think Balotelli will end up the same way.

His exgirlfriend said in a article that Mario is irresponsible(suprise suprise) and when she told him that the baby was born his answer was according to her, "ah ok I don´t care" (and he hung up). His mind must be all over the place at the minute....<br /><br />-- Tue Dec 18, 2012 6:37 pm --<br /><br />His exgirlfriend said in a article that Mario is irresponsible(suprise suprise) and when she told him that the baby was born his answer was according to her, "ah ok I don´t care" (and he hung up).

I agree with everything he's written.

That, and our ability to absorb the cost of his wages.
