Mario Balotelli

No thank you. Mario can stay where he is or go somewhere else.

[zolayes 14,489]

I really like Mario just dont want him to join us

Balotelli is a nutcase, don't compare him to Zlatan.

How could a bloke like him fit in with such pros and great men like Lamps, Mata, Ramires, Ivanovic... I just don' want it.

Zlatan at a younger age wasn't that much different to Balotelli now and he has certainly had his fair share of controversy on and off the pitch. I think his character is part of the reason why he's become so good at playing the beautiful game and I see no reason why the same couldn't apply to Balotelli as well.

Don't get me wrong, Zlatan is definitely one of my all-time favorites outside of Chelsea and I rate him very highly as a player but he's no saint and few people would describe as a top professional.

Come on, Balotelli is crazy.. Zlatan you could say he's arrogant, a bit lazy or selfish but Balotelli is just an idiot. Even Mourinho confirmed it a few times saying how difficult it is with him.

Also I don't think he will ever be that good even if he calms down which is highly unlikely.

How true is this stat?

He has 75 goals and 76 yellow cards

i really enjoy Balotelli. I love his spirit and im hoping he does well this season but i just dont think id want him at Chelsea. just seems like too much a risk.

If Mourinho could do what Prandelli has done and put his arm around him and get someone to take him under their wing then he could be an amazing player. Balotelli has so so much talent. Absolutely destroyed Germany at the Euros. Milans best player by a mile and hes like 22. Things with Jose didn't work the first time around but they could again, remember Jose worked with Ibra who is very much the same.

Jose to sign Mario? I don't think so...

EDIT: Just remembered another one, in the league but I can't remember against whom. Inter were winning by a goal and Jose puts Mario on with something like 25 mins remaining. Literally 30 seconds later, Mario tries to track back but makes a lat challenge on a player at the edge of the box and gets a YC. He stands in the wall for the FK. Player takes it, Mario puts his hand out to stop it. Gives away a pen, gets a second yellow and gets sent off and Inter go on to lose the game by a goal!

(Unlikely) rumor of Lukaku-Balotelli swap. Balotelli's talent is undeniable and even more impressive than Lukaku's, but the difference in maturity levels is just too significant.

[Special Juan 27,439]

Shove it!

I would absolutely go after Balotelli. Clear we need a goalscorer and Milan are doing horribly in Serie A

He loves that club though.

He's been average at best this season. I'd much rather have Lukaku here than Balotelli.

Yep.. he's not all that, really.

[silviupastean 135]

i don't think he wants to come to England again. i would take him though.

Good......They can keep him !!!!Wouldn't touch him with a barge pole Morale is probably low enough after the Stoke result without that guy lowering it further

Balotelli has a massive ego but his talent is just as big if not bigger than his ego. If we can get him, go for it, absolutely tore Germany apart at the Euros and on his day is unplayable.

[robsblubot 3,529]

Other controversial players we've talked about in the past, and shall not be named, do have certain say questionable antics, but once they get into the training ground, they give 100% in training - have not heard of them missing training for one reason or another.

Now, the same can't be said about Balotelli. His lifestyle DOES affect his game.

Agree with most here in that It would make no sense to go for him since we have Lukaku.
