Balotelli.

[BLOOMUEN]

Mancio, as Mario is such a young player, very few of us can claim to have seen that much of him. From the few clips I have seen, he seems to possess a great right foot and likes to run at defenders. His stats say that he is also 190cm. What do you feel his greatest attributes are:

What's his left foot like?
Is he any good in the air?
First touch?
quick-ish or genuine pace?

Would appreciate your thoughts!

left foot is average but he can pass a ball with it
in the air he is good for his age , but need to betterize
first touch , and pass , are just sublime , as his shot and skills.
he is not the best gifted as pace. and isnt gifted for defend and run everywhere as an headless chicken ;=)

Thanks for taking the time to reply!

Slow and lazy, at 19. Hmm. How much are we paying for him?

Balotelli looks a fantastic player on youtube, almost as good as Samaras does.

The lad is immense. Top quality young player.

 

[Mancio]

yes , he has in him just a decent shot LOL

mate , mario will sign for City ONLY if he will be granted to be regular. if he have to stay on the bench then he will stay on the Inter's bench.

you clearly havent read the interview with RM then have you.....wher he talks about squad rotation next year......and would you play ballotelli every match when you have tevez and adebeyour (and possibly dzenko as well)...all players will be rotated...and Balo will have to be content with a bench place from time to time and also witht the fact that there will be 2 (if not 3) more experienced strikers ahead of him.

rotation is what balotelli want and had asked for to mourinho last year.

This

I always feel slightly embarassed to be on a forum with members who think 'this' is a valid post, however this 'this' should embarass even seasoned 'this' merchants.

just the half of the right , he is the next Ronaldo.

from what ive seen of him id describe him as a young striker who is still very rough around the edges but who has lots of potential...he is also inconsistent which is normal and understandable at his age and point of development in his career.

he has all the physical attributes to make it in the prem....quick and strong, decent shot on him as well.

this player will need a lot of patience however.....he isnt going to be a top player the moment he arrives, and it will take him time to adapt......he will need in my opinon at least a season or so till he finds his feet......and i expect that (barring injuries) RM will use him sparingly

the fans must have patience with him and ignore the shit that is written in the media about him(he will undoubtedly attract a lot of negative press as he is a player who the media will love to hate...just like ade and robinho) and as i said he will be inconsisitent in his performances.....he probably wont be a plaeyer who does a lot of defending from the front either (though he can learn this)

i just hope the fans give him a fair crack of the whip IF we do sign him

I'll give anyone who pulls on our blue shirt a fair crack of the whip, any decent football fan would do. Its good that we're buying young hungry players, this can only be a good thing.

Micah Richards meets Dennis Rodman ?

What a terrible comparison. You're comparing Empoli's first choice striker playing in Serie B to a 17-19 year old Inter player who has played most of his 59 appearances coming off the bench yet still scores 20 in Serie A. What a joke! Ok so you don't rate the guy, fine but don't post pointless comparisons which show you have zero understanding of the game.

BTW Rooney scored just 15 goals in 67 appearances for Everton in the Premiership and he was errr... 17-19 while he did that! Sound similar?

bellwhaft wasnt you saying what a great player and talent for the future this lad would be. i think that was earlier in the week. or am i wrong

Probably when he thought United were signing him.

MATH ffs is correct

No it isn't.

"Maths" is English "Do the math" is an Americanism.

It's nothing to do with singular or plural.
