Balotelli - take note...

[Tricky Dickys Right Foot Shot]

I'll say what a lot of us seem to say every time Balotelli comes up in conversation.

Can be great, needs time, getting on my nerves how much I feel I have to defend him, shows brilliance, FA cup performance, I hope he repays the faith I've shown in him, I still believe he has the potential for greatness.

I think that sums it up :)

you missed out that he's good at darts...

I think he is going to take note , and at the same time this Aguero thing will take pressure off his back , that all he needs.

The guy is only 21. He has a lot still to learn, he's not got the best background (family life, racism etc) but he's a talent, and theres something about him which makes the majority of people smile, for example I saw this today:

I like him, give the lad some time, things can only get better. He has the potential to be one of the best in the world.

I think Aguero coming in is good for Balo.

I think with Dzeko coming in and misfiring, Tevez on his way out, Balo might have had an air of entitlement about him, that he knew he was Mancio's best option for goals and could loaf around a bit.

Now? Play very well, play for the team, get stuck in, track back, unleash your full potential or sit and be forgotten!!

This is spot on, although i would add as true as this is, he can't keep being given 'more chances' as it sets a bad example to the squad. I think he gets away with it by being a likeable character but should he cost us a very important game, for example champions league knockout tie or final day of the season decider i can see things getting very tough for him.

Right then..last week Balo didnt train much if at all, he went straight down the tunnel when brought off at wembley ( rat boy jumped at this as balo being stroppy) 5 mins later balo was on the bench with an ice pack on his knee which ratboy failed to comment on.. maybe the reason Balo was upset was due to the fact his knee is playing up again which must be worrying for him..and what happens on here??
a 30 page thread of balo out posts...
Give the kid time and dont get swayed by all the anti City anti Balo propaganda.
Hardly a bloody mention on here of Balo wearing the " I love MCR city" top..compared to the CS incident last week.
I think he will come good for this club and if he doesnt then im wrong and will hold my hands up..til then hes a City player and will get my backing..

again? I'm starting to think this is career threatening stuff.

I think we bought a lemon.

You managed to get every single excuse/cliche for Mario's performances and attitude all crammed into one post. Outstanding! ;-)

he really needs to get his act together otherwise he's either going to spend most of the season on the bench or he'll be sold
