Mario Balotelli

[Waterfall 893]

I think Balo's matured a bit since his days in Inter. He also manages to stay more composed for Italy. But the biggest point I want to make is that a crazy Balotelli's better than sane Torres/Ba/Eto'o. We are playing with 10 anyway

[LDN Blue 7,903]

A player with great ability, but we need a striker (with great ability) who's going to be available for most the season. Not getting suspended for numerous yellow cards, behaviour towards referees etc.

his agent Mino Raiola:

"Mario wishes to leave Milan in January. We don’t know where he will go at the moment, we are looking at the different possibilities. Chelsea is one of the options, but there has been no offers and I cannot comment [on whether] we have been contacted."

[Vybz Kartel 1,613]

I would totally buy a Balotelli 45 jersey if we get him.

Seen him with milan this season, he's more of a creator of chances than finisher. Still take him over Torres/Ba/Eto'o, but don't think he's the answer

I wouldnt say no to Balotelli to be honest... 25m euros for him should be a good deal. I dont think Martinez or Costa are better than him and there arent many options out there in January (when Costa isnt one of them).

Chelsea resorting to this brainless prick Balotelli would be like a desperate mother resorting to prostitution. In the end, our problem would be gone but so would our pride.

Perhaps not the best analogy but you get the point lol. He's a troublemaker, he's childish and immature. He would bring so much negative spotlight and possibly internal drama too...

[kellzfresh 7,229]

So if we are going in for him, we'll be hoping he has maturity now

[Leif 6,006]

As long as he shows a bit of emotion and doesn't just stand with a blank stare thinking he's hard I'd happily take him.

Mourinho surrenders to Balotelli

[kellzfresh 7,229]

I totally forgot he's just 23

This guy didn't bother playing for the coach he calls his father, a coach that gave him chance after chance and stuck by him all the way. Considering the amount of dogfights there are in the PL can you really trust a guy like Mario? His talent can't be questioned and when he's on he's a great great player, but can you trust him? Can you rely on him? Do you really want a guy like him around a very young team? What kind of influence is he going to be on others around him? Just too risky imo, a guy who single handedly can destroy team chemistry is way too big of a risk regardless of the potential reward imo.

Didn't Jose called him once 'unmanagble' ?

This guy is only trouble, keep him away from SB please!
