Yeah, keeper got a touch on it I think?
He is just oozing confidence whenever he has the ball but the service isn't that great or he'd score a lot more goals.

Hope he will be given a chance this next preseason.

Far too good for the Dutch league, that much is 100% sure. Under normal circumstances I'd suggest a loan move to a Premier League or La Liga side but given his prodigious talent and the possibility we could lose him to a top side if we don't give him a chance, I think we should bed him into the first team.
I do think he might need time to adjust to the Premier League during which time I can imagine some critical fans becoming impatient with him. I could see him starting pre/post-Champions League games, domestic cup games, the less important league games (ie. West Brom or Aston Villa at home), and coming on a sub some other games.
Could play left forward or centre forward for us.

However, I would like to keep both of them as I do believe in the talent Balotelli has. At least one more season from him even if its only to increase his value. He frightens a lot of premiership defenders (especially Plug ha ha). I just hope he has learned a great deal from this season.
