Balotelli

[BenoBlue]

He could be Robhino mark 2, all we can do is wait and see

I can't believe there is a thread like this after ten mins on the pitch. We don't need a team if work horses, we need a sprinkle of star dust and balotelli is that man. He's not there to defend wd have enough players like that.

 

[TVI]

I've never gone along with this "workhorse ethic" mentality over the years.

I personally love to see these amazingly gifted players. As long as they're playing for my team I couldn't care less about a bad attitude, something that just serves to wind up the opposition anyway.

People have no reason to worry about Balotelli. Seriously. He will destroy this league.

Balo didn’t play with his full heart for Inter, all the time crying for more minutes in the pitch that’s main reason, he move to us.
Whatever in Italy, it was history. I am waiting to see how he plays in blue shirt and just him after that.

balotelli is gonna rock our world. the end

 

[skillman]

He's going to make every fan a little bit wet with something he does by the end of the season.

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.

This is a forum and everybody is entitled to their opinion, so here's mine... go and fuck right off with you "bad" observations. Goes down easily!! What game was you watching?

The guys not played two full games for us yet and you're being negative about him. Jeeeez! I could fuckin cry sometimes!!

I would love to see Arshavin in your team, he would get hounded out from town by your fans, byt we have accepted him for what he is, a player that is capable of magic, but he aint gonna run up and down, fly in tackles and put his body on the line. But its still worth it as he set up Nasri with inch perfect pass for the first goal, after passing to a blue shirt everytime he got the ball before that

not the arsenal fans i know mate, the biggest gripe is that he doesn't get back and help.
take sunday for instance, clichy was left bare arsed for much of the game as arshavin stood on the half way line, my mate who is a gooner was moaning like a drain about this very fact.

Jesus, 10 minutes and he's dividing opinions already. Give him a bloody chance. Bring this thread back in Jan, and we'll get hopefully have opinions based on some sense of reality.
