Possibly, I don't pretend to have an encyclopedic knowledge of continental footballers. But if he comes here and walks around with his lip out then I'd rather he didn't bother. It always ends in tears. Mancini seems to think he can get the best out of him though.

I agree ^ it seems Balotelli has a lot of respect for Mancini, as Mancini gave him his debut for Inter when he was Inter manager. Bit like Bellamys respect for Hughes. I do think Balotelli can be a big signing for us.

I don't watch much of the Serie A as it just is boring football to me, but I did not realize Balotelli was so technical on the ball. I will say, with the Kolarov deal we are bringing in a sloo of players who can strike a free kick. These two plus Adam Johnson and Tevez and we are looking good in that ara.<br /><br />-- Fri Aug 06, 2010 8:58 am --<br /><br />What's the verdict? Has he made the 25? He has shown some ability this off season.
