Balotelli has Welbeck's athleticism but when he cuts in on his right, Balotelli has one of the best shots in the game. Other than that, if you consider the importance of first touch and being able to pass, that's not enough - they're both substandard. They obviously have a certain bit of talent, but the game's no longer about athlete's. You can cheat the stats for a while, but you'll eventually get found out. Balotelli's lucky he has somebody who has a lot of faith in him in Mancini. I don't think many other top level managers would want anything to do with him.
What Welbeck has over Balotelli is reliability, work-rate and probably intelligence (though by no means is he a clever player), all drummed into him from being brought up in England.
Mourinho said Mario could be the best player in the world if he applied himself, would they say that about Welbeck?
I think not....
Welbeck's more of a man as well, but Balotelli is more talented.

hecandothatfromrange said:nashark said:hecandothatfromrange said:Nah, sorry but you're wrong. Balotelli's an intelligent player. Certainly considerably more intelligent than most strikers. I honestly wouldn't be surprised if his 'media eccentricity' was all fabricated. His talent has been cited by the most revered of football statesmen, Mourinho, Mancini, Fergie etc..... You obviously know more than them.
What's Fergie said about him?
Mourinho might have thought he has a certain degree of talent, as I think he does, but I very much doubt he thinks Balotelli is intelligent as he most clearly is not. He makes some good runs, but he has not got a brain for football. I seem to remember Balotelli hardly ever getting a game at Inter.
You'll probably thinking I'm out of line saying this but don't let your ego diminish the intelligence of an eccentric who seems to 'have it all.' Compare him to his contemporary 'smart' center forwards. He's definitely in the same echelon of intelligence. C'mon, just be fair and admit at least that.
What ego's that?
And what has Fergie said about Balotelli?
Your mate Mourinho seems to echo what I've said about him:

But what does Mourinho know?

Mourinho couldn't control him. Mancini can.

Well, sorry but you clearly have some sort of intra-personal problem. it's usually an ego. I've got absolutely no problem in saying
"Rooney, Ronaldo and Fergie are world class players." However, I equally confess that Balotelli is great.
I mean seriously, what kind of person says "Balotelli isn't a talent" when the opposite phrase is ubiquitous?!?!?!
Seriously, every city fan on this forum will know every time Balotelli is mentioned you WILL hear the phrase "Balotelli's an amazing talent but he's got personality problems" (the latter of which is being amended.
Deep down I'm sure you know Balotelli is extremely talented. Just for once be a realist and not be idealistic. It won't make you an idiot; everyone has done it.<br /><br />-- Sat Nov 12, 2011 8:31 pm --<br /><br />
