Would be great if it happened. It annoys me to see him in red & black. First things first though, congrats on the title! :) I don't have any allegiences to EPl sides one way or the other but I was defenitly rooting for ya yesterday. Most epic league conclusion I've ever seen since I started watching football.
Very happy for Mancio and Balotelli. They deserve it. :)
One point i'd like to adress. Where and how would he play? The biggest misconception about him, apart from the old not being able to perform in big games, is that he's purely a CF. It stems from him having the physique for it, and even though he can, and often does play that role it's not the strongest aspect of his game. He's a support forward, that just happens to score a lot of goals as well, and can play as a target due to his size and strength. In other words, a completely unique set of tools in World football.
This match for Milan is one example of his bigges strength as a footballer. That's not to say it's all he does, becaus he excels in a lot of areas.

Ask yourself how often you see that many high quality defence splitting passes from a player in just one match? Doesn't happen often, especially not against parked busses. In truth, he does this against any team, even Barcelona, but it's not often his teammates take full advantage. I remember reading he had the highest number of key passes in Europe a couple of months back, but only 10 or so assists.
Mancio knows him as well, he would never limit him to a strictly CF position like at Barcelona, where he's not one third as effective as whe he's given a bit of freedom.
He's a bit of a polarizing figure, even as a footballer, because he's got a huge ego, but at the same time he's gotta be up there amongst the best decisionmakers in the World. He plays very unselfishly from that sense. For instance yesterday Nesta, Inzaghi, and Seedorf had their farewell match at Milan, and he could of broken the all-time goalscoring record in a Serie A season with a hatrick, but instead of shooting like a maniac C.Ronaldo style, he was constantly seraching for Pippo and Seedorf to get one in. He even let Seedorf take all the freekicks.
So yeah, he's definitly not perfect, but the pro's outweigh the cons by a ton, both as a man and as a footballer. Anyways, i rambled on long enough. I just really hope to see this transfer happen. :lol:
