Balotelli

[blueinsa]

The owner has speak loud and clear refusing 70M from abrahmovic

If we had been offered that amount he would have been sold!

Balo is not worth anywhere near that amount at the moment.

I know your source for the info mancio but frankly, i think its bollox.

Oh, he's talking about Balo....in that case....

PMSL

;-)

The crying shame is Balo has the potential to be worth £70m but doesn't seem to want to show it at present.

When people call him a legend though just for winking at rio etc it does make me cringe , far from a legend

I realize that Bluemoon can be a sea of bullshit at times...but the notion that Roman at any point in the last 12 months offered City 70m for Balo is about as likely as I am to jump out of my third floor window and take flight rather than falling to my death...

Potential is just potential until it's realized - and in 12 months Balo has shown nowhere near enough to justify his 24 million pound price tag - let alone some fucking delusional figure like the one above.

Again we have a situation where an attacking players contribution is questioned when the problem lies elsewhere IMO. Attacking players such as Balo, Silva, Dzeko are ball players, they are at their most effective when they have the ball, they don't break up play, they aren't great tackles and they won't win the ball if we've not got it. They need the ball at their feet and to have the ball at their feet we need to keep the ball in defence and in midfield to give us an oppurtunity to get the ball into their feet, yesterday our use of the ball when we had it at the back and in midfield was poor. We weren't able to start many attacks because we were far too sloppy, if we aren't keeping the ball and getting the ball into the feet of Balo, Silva and Dzeko then we were always going to struggle

Balotelli has to improve overall, he knows it, Mancini knows it and i suspect most of the fans know it but i think it's a tad unfair to slag him off when they key to how we play and build attacks was the let down yesterday

16 year old are very impressionable.

i dont care whether he winks at that ugly **** or takes him from behind, i`m more interested in him filling his potential as a footballer and hopefully with us, fingers very firmly crossed

Agree 100%.

I will also go as far as to say that Mancini has really gone out on a limb re Balo, not only to the board but also to the squad and its a gamble that may end up costing him.

I had a great time yesterday - met some good blues, and I think we had a better time than the rags who won!
I think balotelli walking off was blown out of proportion - maybe he needed a shit!?

But I have given up on him now - his biggest action was squaring up to vidic.....that was it!
Not condoning chuckle being his usual rat faced gimp, but he has a point about us sticking by him when he causes problems. Tevez has caused problems too, but he DOES score 25 a season.

I now believe he is a poison

Seems certainly a bit risky publicly asking for more control over all transfers whilst your big signings are still under performing so hugely. Sorry about the size but it'll stop me getting attacked by the lazy lynch mob for having an agenda!
