He did City as much harm as he did good and can't see him being any different at Anfield. He is 23 years of age and this will be his 4th club, all major ones. Rogers must be desperate for from now on it will be all about Belotelli and not LFC!!!!
Very special

Marvin said:26 goals in 43 League appearances for AC Milan. Looks good, but the forward line was built around him, and I'd guess around 10 of them were penalties.
I don't think he was an unmitigated failure at AC Milan, but they have had a couple of very poor seasons. Last season they finished 8th, outside of Europe in what is a very weak League. Is that because of Balotelli, or has it hindered Balotelli? Hard to say unless you've been paying close attention.
What are his strengths?
Strong. Great shot. Good target man. Great technique. Good in the air. Big game player. Great penalty taker
Weaknesses
Lack of pace. Workrate in the majority of games is non-existent. He wont make runs off the ball to take defenders away from the other forwards. Very selfish player
Would I have him at City? Absolutely not. We were lucky AC Milan came in for him. I liked the character, but by the time he'd left, I'd already got fed up with him as a footballer.
I'm amazed Liverpool have gone in for him.
Maybe the petulance has improved a bit. He seems OK when I've watched him play for Italy.kramer said:Marvin said:26 goals in 43 League appearances for AC Milan. Looks good, but the forward line was built around him, and I'd guess around 10 of them were penalties.

Agreed with all of that
His greatest weakness though is petulance which he can't control it's in his makeup You'd have to be Freud to understand him and Rodgers is no Freud
