Mino Raiola is the perfect example of a greedy leech agent. True parasite.

I'm glad we don't really deal with him.  It's always trouble.  He's all about moving his clients around for new contracts and fees for himself.  From a club perspective, it's a pain in the ass because he's always unsettling things.  Can you imagine if Hazard had him as an agent?  He would have been at Madrid years ago, and probably moved on to Juve or Man Utd. by now.  

He tries that shit all the time.  Hamsik parted way with him when he tried to do it with him:  https://www.thesportsman.com/articles/marek-hamsik-the-man-who-turned-down-super-agent-mino-raiola

If I'm not mistaken, we don't have any of his players at the club, do we?

Romelu Lukaku was the last one, thank god, unless I am forgetting someone.

Having Mino Raiola as their agent pretty much means none of these will come here. Other than Balo on a free, none are on my wish list. Kean maybe down the road.

Marco Verratti    
Gianluigi Donnarumma    
Hirving Lozano   
Mario Balotelli   <<<< could still sign on a free
Justin Kluivert    
Moise Kean   
Kenny Tete

I rate Verratti.  But he had his little contract thing at PSG as well and tried to get a move to Barca.  Donnarumma had it big time with AC Milan a couple of seasons ago (?).

I am, I admit, a bit surprised Barca failed to get him. They wanted him badly for years. He has a crazy bad temper though, but a hell of a player indeed.

Balotelli signed a new contract at Nice, so he was probably a stumbling block for potential suitors (Marseille, Roma, Napoli, etc).

Ah, I missed that, I just saw that he will stay with Nice one more year. I think if Mino was not his agent, we might have had a shot at a free with him. He probably ends up in China for a mega payday next year would be my guess. Who knows, lol. FAR worse cities to live in than Nice at least!. Beats the shit outta Manchester.

Why anybody would still want Balotelli at this point is beyond me :-/

If he came on a free,why not? He is far more mature now that 5 years back, and certainly is better goal scorer than any striker we have, unless Morata finally comes good. But, as stated by others, he signed another 1 year deal with Nice, so no go.

He is a troublemaker, I wouldn't take him even if he paid us.

'We want to give Balotelli a leadership role' - Nice president backs Italy ace

http://www.goal.com/en/news/we-want-to-give-balotelli-a-leadership-role-nice-president-backs-/680w2g91mzgb1m2w1i8dq4p3j

 

President of the Cote d'Azur side Jean-Pierre Rivere has insisted that Italy international has done nothing wrong this summer
Nice president Jean-Pierre Rivere refuted the suggestion that Mario Balotelli only stayed at the club because he failed to secure a move to Marseille and has said he will be given a more pre-eminent role in the team.

Balotelli was expected to leave Nice following the club's failure to qualify for European football last season, which Rivere explained prompted a reduction in the Italy striker's salary.

Rivere revealed that the 28-year-old received a "very, very large financial offer" from a club in the Chinese Super League and entered discussions with a number of French clubs, including Marseille, but opted to remain at Allianz Riviera for a third season.

The Nice chief insisted claims that Balotelli remained at the club by default are "totally wrong", telling their official website: "He made this choice despite the absence of Europe and in less advantageous salary conditions than elsewhere.

"He has shown us his desire to stay and his dedication to the club. From now on it is registered, contractualised. We want to give him a leadership role. The coach will have him with him and make every effort to make the best season possible.

"We are very happy with this situation, we have a player totally invested in our project."

Rivere also moved to quell speculation that Balotelli, who has served two games of a three-match suspension so far this season, disrespected the club by failing to report for training.

"It bothers me a lot that one might think that Mario did something wrong, because it's not true," he added.
