Why oh why are some people defending the latest self-indulgent show of Balotelli stupidity?
When things don't go his way,he eventually loses it.
He seems unable,or unwilling, to help himself.
Whether or not he thinks he should be somewhere else,or whether he thinks he's simply "above it all" he just seems to lose the plot and do something totally stupid...like the kid who tries to draw attention to himself at school by doing daft things.
Trouble is,that the first team at Manchester City Fc isn't a place for learning how to cope with whatever difficulties life has thrown at you in the past.
Unfortunately,professional footballers on the other team don't care abut how "fragile" your character may be.They just want to target your weaknesses as a character,win at all costs-and despite his apparent "potential" this boy has them in spades for all to see.
If Mancini lets him anywhere near the team against the rags we'll be down to 10 men within half an hour.Scholes,Vidic etc. will take him to the cleaners.
Get rid asap.Not worth the hassle.
