    Liverpool agree a £16m fee with Italian club AC Milan to sign former Manchester City striker Mario Balotelli

    Amazed at this one, you would have thought they would have learned a lesson after Suarez

    I'm also amazed that it is only £5m more than Ross, and that they got Balotelli and Sturidge for a combined price less than what Everton payed for Lukaku

    Seems like a stupid move from Rogers especially after the Hi Jinx of Citeh. Rogers couldn't keep Suarez in line I doubt he can do it with Balotelli.

    He is worth £30mil in today's market. As stereotyping is out of fave our this week I won't say thieving scousers.

    Getting him for 16 million is brilliant business for Liverpool but just look at the funniness while he was living in Manchester

    Milan only paid £12m for him so the scousers have paid 50% over the odds. good luck to them but I can't see it ending well.

    Using your calculation method 33%!
    But player inflation went up 550% over the summer, Ross McGreedycunt was only worth£2mill in May.

    Not sure about Baliotelli tbh - he only scored 20 Premiership goals in 3 seasons at Man City - not a great return considering the quality around him!!

    Suarez scored 78 goals for Liverpool in that timeframe <ok>
