2) Galatasaray? I would suggest one of the rich Russian teams but the Racism issue probably rules that out. Either those or we'll end up loaning him out to someone in Italy whilst paying his wages, again. How long is his contract? Would have made sense for the club to have made it short term with his temperament and unfulfilled talent. 1) Yep that could be a huge problem. Rodgers ego that he hasn't been able to 'fix' Balotelli yet could prevent him from selling. Another reason we need a DoF to have an objective opinion on the matter.
Na I think you're being a little harsh on Rodgers here. I mean look how ruthless he was with Reina. I think he'll bin him first opportunity, and you have to remember it is clear he didn't want the striker in the first place - he said so! His replacement? God knows.
Don't really think it's brought any negativity to our club. All the attention is on Balotelli, just like when Ferdinand was banned no one really cared about QPR it was just Ferdinand who got the slack.
It won't be a short contract, to risky a investment then. FSG would want every possible chance of recouping the £16m we paid, only way that happens is of someone wants him whilst he's under contract.
I hope no-one is building their hopes up too much about selling Mario and buying someone else in January.
I'm certainly not. If it does happen I'll be happy but I can't see it somehow, only Rafa can be that ruthless
Donga QC would just like to ask how many games Rio was banned for when he was intentionally racist against a witness in a criminal court case who wouldn't alter his testimony to support brother Anton. If he's banned as well as fined we'll know that the FA's agenda never ended with Suarez. But Liverpool should ban him themselves to be on the safe side...
Who would sign him and what would they pay? It's not happening until he's shown that he's slightly better than useless and disinterested.
By the way, had he said the character was grabbing money like a Scotsman or a Yorkshireman, do we really think this would still end in a charge? To go back to Rio, that is obviously an intelligent but highly conceited t**t. Mario is a f**ing child's mentality in an adult's body - a sober version of a young Gazza, if that can be imagined. Or is it racist to even suggest that?
Fair enough. Fancy a cheeky wager on which player has a more successful time at their current club? I'll let you decide on how much you want to bet!
You've got to back your man Gerrez and Mario is very much your man! So I'll take that bet. You owe me a tenner pal.
Never backed Mario, said he'd be a major **** up before we even signed him. Never liked him at Man City either. No chance you're going to catch me arguing he is better than anyone Its in black and white above, I put a tenner on Shaw having the better outcome at their current club, you never stipulated which one you wanted to back PS...I'd never actually bet on here, I see that as bad as trying organise meeting up for a fight
