Balotelli (continued)

[EalingBlue2]

Quite simply without balotelli there would be a big banner at old Trafford a out to become 37, without his goals after Munich when we were in crisis caused by tevez and without his last 20 mins QPR would have beaten us even if we ignore oct. he was MOTM in the FA cup final so I hate the slagging he gets especially with all the arse licking of Carlos who should not even be at the club!

A wonderfully talented centre forward who we should play....... Centre forward - no doubt at all he will be the best European striker in a few years and I really hope we are not stupid enough to be like Leeds and Cantona

How much is he on?

He was first supposed to be on 60-70k when he first came. Given he's a youngster, coming from Italy where wages are not what they once were, that seems right. It will have moved up due to success clauses winning the FA Cup and Premier League but significantly more than doubled, yeah right. Absurd and outlandish to think he's on parity with the highest paid players at the club.

Tell a big lie often enough... Hmmm, who said that...

How much is he on?

Well most people accept it to be £100k but someone on here said it was £80k. He was a tolmie type in the know geezer
In fairness if it was £170k that would be Aguero, Tevez, Yaya level

I thought it was Basic - £125k, Basic + max bonues - £170k?

The £170k essentialy compares to the frequently quoted £240k for yaya, assuming we won the PL and CL every year.

Outlandish how many people are so forgetful and so fickle

 

[tolmie's hairdoo]

Balotelli is not on £170k a week. This forum is becoming embarrassing with so called blues picking any shite printed by the red tops and using it as ammunition against our players.

Goebbels would have a hard job changing that narrative.

Mario has no reason to lie, if anything, most people talk up their monies.

He doesn't need to and although there are loads of bonuses he can top his basic up with, it's closer to £110,000 a week before bits and pieces.

That sounds about right

It's a moot point anyway whatever people wish to say he earns.

If Mario wants this deal to happen, it is not the wages that will need to shift, it will be City agreeing to a pay-off.

I wish the lad well if it comes off. It's a sideshow for all concerned and Mario is even more isolated with his bro moving back to Italy last week.

Whichever Milan club he ends up at in January or the summer, all I ask is for him to stick it to United when he next faces them in the Champions League.

I'm sorry but I just cannot agree. He could end up being the best European striker one day, I suppose, but I'd say there is more than a little doubt that he will, I'd say there is huge doubt.

too right! his man of the match cup final performance is often quoted,however he wasn,too shabby in the semi v rags.

FWIW, still don,t think mancini has washed his hands of him, and the poster who quoted mario,s agent as saying there is 00.01 % chance of him going to milan may well be more accurate than the media frenzy that tolmie and others are feeding on...freddie star ate my hamster don,t you know.

I once recall a striker who seemingly had it all before him. Power, pace, could shoot from absolutely anywhere, even cost a British transfer record at the time.

Stan Collymore had his own demons, granted.
