I think everybody has had enough, add to that the unrealistic expectations of some of our fans (Balotelli not good enough for us). I almost wish we could fast forward to next season in the Championship when people would be crying out for a player like that, as if we aren't already. Go talk to Huddlestone or somebody like that and I'd bet they would love to play with an intelligent technically excellent player like him

Bo normally I agree with most of your comments...but...Bo...."intelligent, technically excellent"..are you seriously referring to MARIO Balotelli ???? Hmmm....

If you take away his dickheadedness he's a pretty good footballer. Far better than anything we could hope to sign.

His dickheadedness is part of what makes him a poor footballer in my opinion. I rarely agree with Canadatiger but I agree with him on this. I wouldnt want Balotelli if he came on a free and his salary was 0.

You would rather play with seven players than get freebies?
 
Id rather we bring up players from our youth team as at least they would play hard with the right attitude.

I have been to all the preseason games except for the ones in Austria. What has been noticeable is physically they just aren't strong enough. Technically Bowen looks good, but when it get physical he is knocked off the ball easily. Tymon seem physically very strong even though he is only 17, but as we know people develop differently some earlier than others.

Of course I am not seriously suggesting that our youth players are ready nor that they are better than Ballotelli. Im simply using that as a tool to show how much I would not want to sign Ballotelli. Id rather we sign "insert name" who has a good attitude and will play hard.

You are right, I wouldn't want Ballotelli anywhere near our team.
 
Balotelli would be an excellent loan signing for a club like ours, you can't really dispute that.

Why are you trying to stir it up again?

We should sign that fella that signed for PSG this summer Ben Arfa.

I reckon he's a player above our station but would be an amazing signing if we got him in January.
