He isn't interested in playing for City and he isn't interested in playing for them team.
And all those going on about potential. Showing a flash of brilliance once every 3 or 4 games isn't potential.
Balo, if you dont want to play then sod off. You're a disgrace!
You usually talk sense Ricster, I enjoy reading your views.
However, this perticular post was utter tripe im afraid.
Its funny, if Balotelli came from our Academy, he'd get so much more patience from City fans its unreal.

Hi Mark,
The thing is though, Balo may have had an excuse last night, but what about the rest of the matches he seem's to stroll around in?
Take 1 Shaun Goater for an example. He joined us and played in a similar kind of fashion, strolling round the pitch, half heartedly. He was booed, not by me, he was abused, not by me. Shaun looked at the way he played and wondered why people adored Dickov and not him. Then it clicked with the Goat. The lack of effort was the reason why people were getting on his back.
Shaun changed his game, upped his effort on the pitch and not before too long became a firm fans favourite and will go down as a City legend.
Modern day, and we have Tevez, lets call him the rich man's Dickov and we have Balotelli, the rich man's Goater. Balo could do with taking some advice from our Shaun, problem is would Balo's ego allow him to listen to advice?

A much more 'you' post, i'll put your previous down to frustration, that we all feel.
I wont disagree with anything you say there. Balotelli will be 5% the player he could be if he carries on like he is. His attitude is a complete waste of his talent.
I personally see it as a risk assessment. Does the benefit of keeping him and trying to change his attitude (which will change with maturity as well) outweigh the risk of him staying as he is and buggaring off back to Italy in 18 months or so?
I personally believe that his natural talent is worth just having some patience and giving him the chance to develop his attitude. I say with no exaggeration, when he's 28, he'll be the best player in the world.
He is desperately young, and probably young for his age in terms of his attitude as well. He will grow up, now do we want him to do that at City or another club?
No brainer for me.

I have more concern with his general lack of discipline. 10 bookings and a sending off in 17 starts is not acceptable from a forward.
He is probably the most naturally gifted player we have and could be in the top 3 in the world. He just can't be arsed doing it. I don't understand why some on here love him so much. His effort levels are horrendous and a few decent goals can't mask the issues.
Some people on here were actually suggesting dropping Tevez so Dzeko and balotelli could play together.....was that a serious suggestion?
