Cheesy said:I notice that those who want Balotelli to stay and believe he's a great player in the making find it extremely easy to recall games or moments that he's made a difference. That says a lot about his time with us.
also i remember seeing a vid a loooong time ago of him juggling with some other friends wearing flip-flops....and it being like..WTF??? how is he doing what he's doing....
some of the things he does are just...idk..weird..like he's an alien. his second goal against germany doesn't look normal. it looks out of place among other graet goals..
like, yes, he's very strong, but you'll see him do something where he looks like he has superhuman strength..way way way stronger than you would expect for his build.
or--yes, we know he has great touch....but he'll do something with the ball so effortlessly that looks so cool that its just like...whattt???
i gues what i'm trying to say is...if players had a reservoir of talent/athleticism/etc....then balotelli's is so huge that when we see some of the reservoir come out, it looks weird, compared to other normal players....

It doesn't work playing him in front of Silva and Nasri. He doesn't have the movement and acceleration you need - neither does Dzeko.
We have 4 great strikers, but only Tevez and Aguero suit our style and Tevez seems to be getting slower every game I see.
Our forward play has let us down all season. I think we need changes in the Summer.
Who can't be serious? I'm loosing track, if I end up double clakieing myself I'llcity91 said:andyhinch said:Glad someone can speak for us all, when did you ask me exactly?Marvin said:We all want Mario to succeed, but none of us would select him in the team.

You can't be serious.
Mario has the best movement out of any of our strikers however most of the time he doesn't get picked out.
The main problem we have is that we don't have a system to suit our strikers. I reckon if we had Mario as the main man up front and Aguero behind then it would be our best strike force but it seems having 4 top strikers when 3 of the 4 are totally different players just won't work.

If this allows us to pursue a cavani/falcao then I'm all for it. I can't help thinking though that Tevez.and Dzeko should be the ones to depart.
Mario is the one with the youth, talent and future prosperity. Not to mention global status as a shirt seller and brand appeal.
I think the media's branding of Balotelli's ineffective and immature attitude has loosened a few screws in the heads of our hierarchy and if true, feels like a rushed and naive sale.

Bojinov had 2 serious injuries, not exactly his fault is it dumbass.
