Mario Balotelli

[Weckerz 3,781]

Yeah not arguing the toss of people discussing striker signings et al, but some credible sources wouldn't go a miss. But I suppose when a credible source comes to the fore it's all 'bullshit' and the sources like tribal football get missed……but hey ho don't let that distract from a good old transfer story eh?

The articles posted are irrelevant, he's one of the few options around and people are discussing the player. Besides, it's January, dodgy sources will appear everywhere. Nothing unusual here.

^ even if they appear, one must not comment on them or talk about bullshit things, that wont happen, beside the fact, that someone likes to waste their time upon unrealistic things.

Mou wasnt a fan of him back at Inter and surely isnt a fan of him now. futhermore, he is in shit form and is crying baby. as soon as something is not working out, he cries about it and treats to leave the club. he hasnt even flourished in his usual environment, for the club he (as he said by himself) wanted to play for his whole life etc etc. seems to be another talent, who cant reach his potential. dont need him, will just cause chaos and the media will be all over him again. people on this board seem so desperate about a striker that they would even sign Romario or Ronaldo (brazil one) if they would come back from retirement.

I'd rather have Lukaku back than to sign Balotelli...

Like I said, the sources are shite.

You can dig up all sorts off shit sat at your PC on Twatter all day.

Yes please, I've always liked the man. Mourinho knows him well, so if he thinks he can keep the nutter in him in check, why not? 25M is a steal imo on todays market considering his age, form and obvious talent.

LMAO Reminded me of this

I think if Baloteli will somehow come this month Jose already know he want Lukaku to be sold in the summer, and than he'll try to bring Rooney/Costa/X (so we'll have Mario+1 of them).

Thats the only reason i can see it happening... though it probably wont.

Why can't we have Mario and Romelu?

Balotelli/Lukaku/X sounds decent to me as well.

And the x is a WC striker?

Both of them+Rooney/Falcao/x will be too much for a one striker system. You don't need that and it will just create problems when at least 1 of them will be very upset.

I think you probably say it because Lukaku is still young and a bit raw, but if he stays for next season I think we can't have him as a 3rd striker.. That's a definite January sell cause he'll hate it, and he can do better somewhere else.

Balotelli and Lukaku both have the potential to be world class, the former is nearly there IMO he just needs to sort a few things out, there would be no need for a WC striker. Have Balotelli as number 1 and Lukaku as the number 2 and a decent 3rd choice striker and it's a significant improvement over our strikeforce now (well anything is really but still).

3rd striker could be Schurrle and I think the likes of Balotelli/Lukaku/Schurrle would work very well for us.

We don't need the amount of strikers City have because we only play with the one striker compared to their two. You only have to look at Ba to see that us having 3 strikers doesn't really work unless there is a serious injury. Someone is always going to be unhappy and for the time being that unhappy striker can be Torres after the summer (unless he wants to leave after we sign someone big, other than that we won't be rid of him anytime soon).

It would be nice to have a top, even decent, striker who would be happy to sit as 3rd choice in a lone striker system, but it's very rare (e.g. Munich right now don't even have that luxury and would see Muller as their 3rd striker).

thats a relief

[zyzz 711]

Palmeri? That pretty much confirms that we'll sign Ballotelli.
