It's probably a re-hash of what was said in the Italian press a few days ago - Balotelli had accpeted a 5m euro per season offer with United, but eas unhappy with the City offer.deco said:dont know whether anyone has posted this.

Football Editor:
According to reports in Italy, the proposed meeting between Mario Balotelli's agent Mino Raiola and Manchester City planned for today has been postponed. City are ready to pay 35million euros (£29.4m) for the Inter Milan striker, but Balotelli's demands of a five-year deal for an annual salary of 4.5million euros (£3.8m) are proving a sticking point.

Do you think the rags will pay that much and upto 25 million for him I dint think so also didn't Taggart say he's happy with his squad and won't b adding anyone
Exactly. Day in, day out, people on here seem to know uniteds bank balance and are convinced to the point of fact that they are skint. It would surprise me one bit if united buy one big-name player. Debt is debt, we don't have any because of our fortunate position, but debt in a football club is sustained by season ticket sales, shirt sales etc and united are in a different planet altogether when it comes to that. I think people just want to think they're skint for some weird reason.SuperKevinHorlock said:waspish said:Do you think the rags will pay that much and upto 25 million for him I dint think so also didn't Taggart say he's happy with his squad and won't b adding anyone
Never believe anything that dirty rag scumbag says, I have a horrible feeling they have a big signing up there sleeve and it could be Balotelli.

mancboy123 said:pigeonho as much as you seem to have become the resident rag defender over the last couple of days let me just point a couple of figures to you. In the year that united won the champs league and the league the only reason their balance sheet showed a profit is because it had 80m sale of ronaldo on it.
This year without that figure it will show a loss, which would be further excarcebated by the signing of a 25m player. Now add to this the fact that by signing a 25m player plus a 12m striker it would be as good as admitting the berbatov isnt up to it ( and we all know how good fergie is at admitting his mistakes ).
If they are in for him so be it and if we really wanted him we would up the salary. Also can you please tell me why if he is happy with the supposed salary united have offered him and united have topped our bid, why doesnt he just go there, why are they stalling waiting for us to up our bid?
