Balotelli is an unbelievable talent, Fact. His touches are at times a work of art, hes got an eye for goal and can make goals for himself from nothing. By now we all should know balotelli's past and we know hes had it tough and with that it shows in his personality, he seems to be the sort of person that finds it hard to make friends because he doesnt know who to trust, im sure hell say himself that he cant use this as an excuse all the time. He has been wrapped up in cotton wool during his career theres no doubt and i reckon he doesnt like it eg; him and mourinho's spats, hes been spoilt too young and this has not helped in him progressing as a player (i know if i was on even half his wages i wouldnt bother turning up for training etc). His public strops are unacceptable but this is because he is constantly striving to become a better and better every game he plays. There are alot of our own fans slagging him at the first chance they get and press and media waiting to pounce on him the first time he makes a mistake, Balotelli is still only 20 years old is he not entitled to make the odd mistake? Him being a high profile signing has made alot of you think we were signing the equivelent of our own messi or ronaldo (or it comes across this way) when we were actually signing one of the worlds next big talents. If you think about it mario is the perfect signing for city and us fans, hes full of mixed emotions on a regular basis, has alot of people rooting for him to cock up just so they can have their next headline and when hes just getting into the flow of things hes has some kind of setback. The next time mario plays (wether you like him or not) and he starts looking like his shoulders are dropping or he throws a strop dont boo or throw abuse at him (this in my eyes would only make you as bad as them cnuts of fans in italy) just cheer him on, knowing hes got people supporting him might just help him to get back up brush himself off and play for them fans that were cheering for him, if you are willing to do this make sure you do it in a way where mario understands that you cheering, not jeering.
I aplogise if this comes across all over the place, but im not the best at writing lengthy paragraphs. The money we now have at our disposal has corrupted alot of our fans to thinking every player we buy will settle in straight away, and we (to alot of fans i think) are no longer city that put us through the ups and downs, but manchesters very own barcalona in a city shirt -should be winning every game, and have the model set of players.
