So are you with Balotelli or without him?

Interesting read, maybe he is learning after all, or at least wants to learn.

Mario Balotelli made a pledge to resolve his problems. “Introduce me to Ronaldo and I swear I’ll behave to the end of my playing career!”
The Manchester City striker was dropped from the Italy squad for games against Slovenia and Ukraine because his red card in the Europa League broke the ‘code of ethics.’

“Introduce me to Ronaldo and I swear I’ll behave to the end of my playing career,” SuperMario told Le Iene television programme.

“I never met him, so you know when you see the idol of a lifetime it can change your way of being? There are many great players, but Ronaldo was the greatest and so one word from him is worth a thousand of the others.”

However, Balotelli insists he doesn’t have all that much to correct, despite hitting headlines for all the wrong reasons.

“In any case, I already behave myself fairly well, but I’ll try to stop doing those stupid little things. It happens...

“You’ll soon see the real Mario on the field!”

The Italy international could also return to Serie A next season with Milan and Napoli interested.

“I’d buy a house in Naples to go there on holiday, but not to play right now. I’m not heading to Milan either. I have a five-year contract in Manchester, where do you think I’m going?”

Hopefully he doesn't pick up Ronaldo's party habits or luck with knee injuries, but hopefully the greatest striker of his generation can inspire Mario to prove himself as the best striker of the next 10 years. He's got the talent.
 
Well, he does seem to be a slow learner when it comes to what he can get away with and not, but , perhaps, without the frustration of the poor service which he usually gets, we would see a different player. Frustration seems to cause much of his problem and bad refereeing the rest.
 
This is half the problem - to many supporters make quick judgements on players.

Balo - he is young temperamental, insecure in a new country with a new team and for the first time trying to live upto a price tag.

Dzeko - Young player in a new country new team faster league , being asked to play a different role to previous club


There are others (Boeteng, Kolarov etc) - they need time to adapt to the new situation and team mates.

How many would have written off Drogba and Henry after 20 games - their first seasons were nothing to shout about

I'm all for opinions but at least look at the bigger picture - If Dzeko logged onto this forum he'd think he'd made the biggest mistake of his life.
 
He's apologised, he's admitted he has a problem, he's asked for help and support and he's an extremely talented City player... anyone who doesn't give him another chance and back him is a twat.
 
got to be with super mario!!


he has incredible potential just needs to be happy somehow.

maybe after a summer he can relax and really settle.
 
Definitely without him. He's attitude is everything thats bad about the game. To see him half heartedly chase someone down is pathetic. He plays like he doesnt even like the game. We should get rid of him and put it down to bad judgement. Should've bought a Suarez instead.

What about when he got sent off at West Brom this season for kicking out at an opponent? Obviously learnt his lesson hasn't he? The lad can jog on for me, if that makes me a twat then so be it!!!
