Given the team spirit we have, and the fact that Phelan has alluded to it explicitly, I'm pretty sure we're not going to sign someone like Balotelli, no matter how good he is. Maverick nutcases are almost certainly not on our shopping list right now.

To be fair to him, most of his team mates love him, it's managers he has a problem with. He had a falling out with Materazzi but now Marco claims he's like a brother to him and he literally loves him. Didnt Gerrard say really positive stuff in his autobiography too?
 
There are loads of players the FM databases will predict to have great potential and they fizzle out. Anyone remember Freddy Adu?

It should never be used to just gouge a player's abilities straight up, it should be used as a stepping stone at which you then actually go and scout the player yourself.

We failed on all counts then.
