Balotelli.

[Juventino]

It's done Fixer. Trust me.

Well he's not on the o/s mate, i agree it will get done but he's not signed yet.... thats direct from city mate.

A deal does not have to be on the official site to mean it's done. We signed Diego two months before he appeared on the Juventus official website.

Like I said I trust the people who have told me it's all sorted so I can only report that. 2 are actually Milan based so I do trust they know something.

is that a gues juventino or you know something from your end i feel its done jus waitin to iron out the finer details everyone was worryin bout kolarov las week now its ballotelli relax people it will happen imo

Mulitple people have told me that its all sorted. Just waiting for the paperwork to be signed. One word of advice ignore what Raiola says granted he may be Balo's agent but he spews so much talk it's untrue.

Be confident because he'll sign.

Juventino, i'm guessing you've seen far more of Balotelli than me. Do you reckon Mancini will get the best out of him? Good signing? Great signing? Risky signing?

Trev

I posted a long post on Page 197 I think.

But a short answer. I do think Balotelli will play very well under Mancini.

Here it is Trez

Under Mancini the kid was very good, when he arrived in the team at 16/17(dont remember now) and was playing his first Serie A season I knew he had bags of ability. Quick, strong, great in the air,a tidy finisher aswell, great touch, sensational skills for a young lad. He did look like the next big thing for Italian football, he was getting raved about all over Italy. He could easily hold his own against the big teams and would easily punish defenders when he was one and one. I think he was playing Chievo one day and he had 3 defenders around him, he went past them with so much ease I thought I was seeing a younger Ronaldo(Brazilian one) dawning in Serie A.

It's safe to say he blew hot and cold under Mourinho and I seriously think Mourinho knocked his confidence abit. He gained a certain swagger under Mourinho that was never visible under Mancini and his on field play suffered because of it.

If Mancini can reignite his relationship with Balotelli and get him working hard again there is no doubt in my eyes you've signed yourself a future star of World Football.

I agree its all but the sigaitures juve, however its not done till the ink dries.

 

[GeorgeHeslop'sTackle.]

Agent has just retracted the statement say the same thing as last week "nothing will happen until the next few days"

The other clubs that are "supposedly" interested are a figment of his agents imagination, in order to bump up the price imo

We should call his bluff and tell him to "take a hike" - he'd soon be back....

Like every deal this applies too but I dont think a signature will be a problem. They got over the Inter Milan and Balotelli contract demands easy enough, it will be plain sailing from here I'd assume.

Reports have filtered through to Newsnow that the deal is all but done. Reports are from the Guardian and the Telegraph at the moment, so it's hardly tabloid shite either.... looking like it'll be announced in the next day or two, assuming these reports are right!

 

[Taylor]

Some guy on SSN has just said Inter Sources have said the expect it to be done today!

 

[Dillon]

I hope we're not delaying in case we get Torres, we'd sign both if we could right?

The guy on SSN just said it's City that need to sign off on the deal.

 

[larderland]

kevin buckley italian media guy,says deal will be done today.says he has a very strong source in milan.told you,nothing to worry about
