Balotelli

[sam the drummer]

I thought that in his little cameo we saw the good and the bad already.

Bad
Goes down easily.
With what was almost his first touch he tried to dribble it out of our box!! Nige had a quick word to tell him to get rid next time!

Good
He obviously has fantastic vision, he made one crazily good pass to Silva. He just dinked it between two defenders with such control.
The way he ghosted past Sanga. It was weird, it wasn't like when Silva or Johnson beat a man with a trick, he just sort of walked past Sagna with such ease.

I think he might be a frustrating player to a few of our fans and I just hope no one gets on his back because he is hugely talented. I hope he gets some time against Wolves too.

I can see him dividing opinions with our fans, bit like Adebayor really. Can come across lazy when I watched him in Serie A.

I remember one match he kept shooting from ridiculous angles and ranges. Inter fans were going mental, he didn't give a fuck, prob made him do it even more.

Has the potential to be a star though.

His first touch was when he chested it down and then passed to someone but then got brought down, he has a great turn of pace and can easily strole past anyone, and this is on his return from months out, he needs time but he will be the best in the world in 3 years im sure of it

By the time he came on, City had gone.

I am not really interested in little flicks and feints in the middle of the park. The one fear I have about Balotelli is that he maybe a bit of an individualist doing his own thing on the ball, and not a team player. We have had them before!

But of course I am very keen to see him play regularly. I hope he felt the pain of defeat as much as we all felt it on Sunday, and that he will come back on Sunday and make Wolves pay

After reading last weeks glowing reports and viewing the U-tube film,I was a little let down.He had the ball several times and NOT once did he run the length of the pitch leaving all the Arsenal players on their arses,Didn't shatter the goalies wrists with his thunder-bolt shooting,Come on he was on the pitch for ten whole minutes.Where was "Fat Bob" when we needed him.Seriously he will frighten a lot of defences when up to speed of the premiership.The final piece of Mancini's "devious plan".

 

[inbetween]

I only know of his talent from what people have said, never actually seen him play proper apart from his stint against Timisoara and he won us the game.. From what i've seen so far its WAY to early to make any sort of judgement not even a wild hash of one. It was his debut in a game that was already lost and we were completely stretched with a tired team focussed on damage limitation so far to early to even comment IMO.

His mentality could be a problem in the future but madness and genius often comes hand in hand.

we saw bits of what he can do, he will be a team player i think just needs more time on the pitch with them but he is young and will learn, he will be one of our most important players this season in our bid for the title.

lol reading this I honestly think most of you havent watched much of Balotelli except for youtube videos. 3 months from now this forum will be divided when it comes to Balotelli, some will say he's lazy, selfish and arrogant, while others will point to his skill which will be shown every now and then. I seriously think you will be disappointed, as alot of you felt Robinho was lazy and had poor attitude, well Balotelli is not harder worker or less selfish

Balotelli is in NO way,shape of form, selfish.

I will give him this year, i believe next year he will show his class.
