Mario Balotelli

[magic weeds 446]

Carlo Ancelotti is keen to bring Inter Milan bad boy Mario Balotelli to Chelsea, suggesting the temperamental striker would flourish in the Premier League.

The 19-year-old is reportedly heading out of the San Siro door with his agent Mino Raiola confirming that Manchester United and Manchester City are keen on his signature.

Chelsea boss Ancelotti reckons the youngster would excel at Old Trafford, but added that he would like to have a go at curbing his famously hot temper.

Asked by Sky Sport24 if he would like to coach Balotelli, he responded: "Yes."

"They [united] are a team with great tradition, which helps that type of player. Here, the environment is different and I think a player with his character could find it better than in Italy.

"It's difficult to find a player so young with his quality, and England has a lack of players at that level."

The Italian also cooled rumours of a bid for Real Madrid midfielder Kaka, saying: "There is no chance of him coming here because he's a Real Madrid player.

"I don't think think Real are willing to put him on the market - they bought him last year and therefore this is fantasy. If Real say, 'We want to sell Kaka', it could be the case that Chelsea are interested."

Pass. Don't need him or the troubles he brings along. He can rot in Milan with the other 'wonderkid' Pato.

I think Drogba would play a great big brother role and mold this kid just right. I see a lot of resemblance in the early years of Drogba and Balotelli.

Carlo wants united to sign him, because balotelli could fuck up the united dressing room and team spirit.

This kid's a twat, no matter how good he is, always thinks he is the dog's bollocks when he really isn't.

Fuck off, Balotelli.

Bought him on FM though, my best signing yet

There once was a player like this. Very arrogant indeed. He turned out to be pretty good and his club got a lot of money from his transfer.

The PL is of course renowned for the humility and piety of its players. He'd stick out like a sore thumb. Really, he would.
