Anyone else?

Pace, skill, calmness, creativity, confidence, belief, goals, THE best U21 footballer on the planet... anyone would miss him. I cannot wait til he's back!

3 CFs seems all the rage

West ham: Keane, Cole, Obinna
Chelsea: Anelka, Drogba, Kalou/Torres
Sunderland: Welbeck, Gyan, Bent (Earlier in season)/Campbell

I can`t wait for him to come back.
Then at least some posters will have 3 class forwards to woman about instead of just 2.

The op took the words out of my mouth, I miss balo too,

The in your face comments cursing every rag on sight
The tweets from half drunk sluts cat fighting over him
His weird tastes in head gear
His forceful sightseeing tours to female prisons.
Yes i miss Balo too.

You've got to love Mario

When he is fit how do people see him fitting in? Can he play mario, dzeko and tevez?

Mr Balotelli himself was 100% spot on when he said the Tévez-Džeko-Balotelli front three will be the best front three in Europe. Look at them individually: Tévez- power, passion, fight, work rate, desire, goals; Džeko- left foot, right foot, headers, hold up qualities, good movement, goals; Balotelli- speed, skill, confidence, flair, goals. Look at them as a trio: their individual qualities are all different in such a way that they compliment each other into being one great strikerforce. At the moment we are very disjointed, haphazard, disorganised, frustrating and we aren't firing. These three haven't played together as a three yet, when it happens, well, I just can't wait!

With Silva pulling the strings just behind the trio. His vision and quality could provide so much for these three, and he could feed off them and bag some for himself. Give Yaya a free role, let him decide if the game needs an attacking, powerful midfielder to make marauding runs forward and get us into good positions up the pitch; or whether we need a more defensive minded player (don't forget that Silva and Tévez have fantastic defensive qualities as well as attacking ones, and even Balotelli is brilliant at defending corners as he stands in that front area where the taker often doesn't beat that first man - so it's not as if these players will be too attack minded!). With de Jong sitting and doing his thing as he does better than anyone in the world now, in my opinion.

We just need to settle our back four. Set a four that we can play consistently, week-in-week-out. My choice would be either Richards-Boateng-Kompany-Kolorov or Zabaleta-Richards-Kompany-Kolorov. Then as we play better ahead of Hart we will risk far fewer dangerous situations for him to struggle with.

I've been pretty negative today, and I have justified why, many others have done the same. But I have also said that there are things to be very positive about and this team:
----------------------------Hart---------------------------
Richards--------Boateng--------Kompany--------Kolorov
------------------de Jong--------Yaya---------------------
----------------------------Silva---------------------------
------------Tévez------------------------Balotelli----------
----------------------------Džeko--------------------------
...is one of them!

Let's really dump off some of the shitter players and those who don't contribute and bring in some better ones, young, up and coming, hungry, not overly expensive (so they can't be English!) - and we'll be much better next season!
