Balotelli.

[MonsallBlue]

IF its true that Inter are looking for 33m (£or€ ??) then there is only one place he will end up. Thats if WE want him.

I am not sure about the price, but the potential is mind blowing. Not my money I suppose and it will be replaced in the old coffers of our super owner in no time.

Lets get him

 

[Blue Haze]

This is what Mancini or Baconface have to stop if either is to sign him:

<a class="postlink" href="http://www.goal.com/en/news/10/italy/2010/07/13/2023051/mario-balotelli-late-for-first-inter-training-session" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;">http://www.goal.com/en/news/10/italy/20 ... ng-session</a>

I think Baconface, as much as I loathe him, would turn Balotelli into a killer top level striker. Mancini also could though as he seems to have an understanding with the little prick. Only time will tell.

This is exactly what we don't need right now.

If he comes here, there has to be a clear understanding. No more last-in, first-out mentality like some on the team have exhibited.

 

[Pam]

If Mancini had been sacked at the end of May and replaced by someone else and Baconface had managed to lever open his warchest cobwebs and all and submitted a bid for Adam Johnson what would we say?

In two words Fuck off.

.

Because we don't need the money, we can say fuck off. That does not mean Bayern can afford to say fuck off... if the price is right. They all have their price .... except us.

well he didnt bring the best out of Berbaflop or forlan..or nani & anderson..

 

[J3SUS]

have him in a flash at 19 its just scary how good he could be.

 

[Pam]

The rags would be the shit of Manchester were it not for the fact that they are the shit of Trafford. But you know what I mean. I will eat my own head if, by the time the opening weekend of the new season, we don't have a better squad than the rag idiots.... Oh but I keep forgetting. They've got Smalling.

 

[the--dud]

He is quoted in the Daily Star, saying “Roberto Mancini? He’s a really great coach.
“I debuted in Serie A with him because he is a great friend.
“If he and Ferguson want me, it means I’m not as bad as I thought.
“United are a great club. They have not seen the real Balotelli. I need to learn and achieve more goals.”

Before my little rant I'd like to state that I'd love this guy at City - he could be immense and will only get better under Mancini.

What is wrong with him though? Why does he need to say these things about how he wants to play for both us and the bloody rags? Is he the only person left in the footballing world that is totally unaware of the Manchester rivalry?

If Lazio wanted to sign him would be come out praising the Roma manager and how he'd like to play for Roma as well as Lazio? Or same with Galatasaray/Fenerbache, Celtic/Rangers. Palermo/Catania, Real Madrid/Barcelona and the list goes on!


I think the sooner he can return under Mancio's protective father-figure the better for him! Mancini needs to get him signed, sit down with him and tell him to get a grip and concentrate on his football! ;)


(PS: Not meant as an assault on Balotelli but rather to say he needs to join us for the sake of his own career as Mancini seems to be the only one that can stabilize him)

 

[MonsallBlue]

Is anybody worried that Chelsea might try for Balotelli now that Torres is an injury doubt?
Are they after a striker in general? or just Torres? I wonder

It's called keeping his options open, as it seems both clubs have expressed an interest in signing him. It wouldn't be very sensible to diss one club before any concrete negotiations have taken place.

 

[keemcfc]

So now everyone wants him?

Good, he's been my choice of striker sconce we got Mancini.

He's 19 and plays regularly in one ofthe best teams in the world, and he already has a chumps league medal.

I think if we got him and kept Adebayor we would have the best strikeforce in the prem, and we could get Dzeko as well!

Good times...

And since he is 19 for this year, he would be on our under 21 list, and we could could keep Bellers or SWP (just for example).

Since Arry admitted that they couldn't afford Bellers's and swp's wages, I think Villa, Everton, or any other teams could hardly afford these 2 as well.

Tottenham Hotspur boss Harry Redknapp has rejected suggestions he is close to a deal to sign Manchester City duo Craig Bellamy and Shaun Wright-Phillips.

To discover the truth of what Massimo Moratti actually thinks about this, what you have to do is take every comment he's ever made about Balotelli being sold, add up the number of times he's said he may be sold and he won't be sold, then once you've figured out which one he's said the most, you know the opposite one is the truth.

 

[C_T_I_D]

If Roberto Mancini sorts out Mario Ballotelli's attitude then he has the potential to win the top goalscorer award in the premiership next season if he makes the move.

It is a bold statement but one I strongly believe. He can become one of the best players in the world and the good thing is that:

A) He's an investment and will have great resale value.

B) He has time on his side to fulfil the potential he has displayed early on.

C) Whiskey Noses team won't be strengthened and we'd have shown our financial power again.

Put it this way - if he comes to Manchester City, I'll be making room to accomodate him in my fantasy football team for the season of 2010/2011.

 

[Ducky_]

He looks like Micah Richards imo.

(I'm NOT being racist)

 

[waspish]

Look I've not seen much of him but what I have, its a pity that its all been in a negative light, with his petulance and arrogance. After saying that I think "petulance and arrogance" is a good quality in a player, channel that in the right way I believe he could be one of the best players in the world.
