Granted, although he has picked up a couple of reds in his career. One difference is that Balotelli's history is more off-field, whereas Suarez was purely onfield. That said, Mario's off-field exploits were more fun/stupid than anything particularly problematic (except perhaps the infighting). Not sure I'd call him a steal, but if he turns out good and fulfils his potential then 16 million will look a bargain. I just see so much risk involved though.
You'd hope so. When would they have met him though? Surely you'd want to meet him in person at some point just to size him up.
I heard it from the press a couple of days ago. I hoped it wasn't true at the time, but I'm rapidly warming to the idea.
Wasn't who I wanted because of the burn from Suarez... but... I'm going to try and be optimistic... he is a very good talent, and he could get hair styling technique from Bony. Just need to find out who Bony's barber is and put him in touch with Balotelli!
He's going to have to learn to love him like the rest of us will. No point in being against your own player unless and until he does something to deserve it. Besides, luv's a pussy really.
Brendan Rodgers: "I was asked the question about Balotelli last week and spoke about what a talent he is and excellent player he is,” Rodgers said during Liverpool's tour of the US. “But I can categorically tell you that he will not be coming to Liverpool."
