Looks like SuperMario could be on his way out of City after this one!! Apparently they had to be seperated by other City players following Balotelli going in wrecklessly on Scott Sinclair. Mancini got involved to keep Sinclair & Balotelli apart and ended up with the two of them "grabbing and pushing each other."
I'm not sure if this is all Balotelli's fault. Looks to me from the pictures that Mancini was the one who started the rift. Maybe it's just that they don't get along full stop ? If that's the case and Mancini wants to offload him, then I think we should snap him up.
Balotelli strikes me as the new Adebayor....... petulant , lazy , sometimes worthwhile but more often , not.
NOPE. He's a pure attention whore, and I really don't care about his ability anymore. Half of what is said about our club this season has to do with RVP anyway, don't want the other half to be about another ****er. We have enough on our plate.
Adebayor wasn't an attention whore though. He had his ups and downs, but he didn't exactly have any controversy until after he left us.
According to the guy from the MEN,Balloteli tackled Scott Sinclair and Mancini said something to him.Ballotelli walked away and gestured to Mancini who then ran after him and grabbed his training bib.
More trouble than he is worth. Also, I am still not convinced by him as a football player, he has had his moments, but he is nothing special.
From the pictures it looks like Balotelli didnt retaliate even though Mankini shouted at him and grabbed him. And what is Mancini doing at the end, looks like he has lost it to me, pressure is probably telling. And as for us signing Balotelli, wouldnt be my first choice but if there is someone who can calm his temper it is probably Wenger. He certainly has the ability and strength, if Wenger thinks he can give him the temperment then I wouldnt be against it. As an example, think what RVP was like a few years ago.
RVP was a ****ing liability when Wenger first signed him. His attitude stank and he was a me, me, me type of player. He showed that selfish streak again when he shafted us to join the Mancs, but during his time with Arsenal, Wenger tamed his temper and turned him into a world class player. He could do the same with Balotelli I'm sure.
The thing about Balotelli is that he's better than most people realise. If he had the right attitude he would be amongst the TOP 3-4 players in World Football. Even Mourinho said that he's the most talented player he ever coached.(when he was at Inter) ....and that's why managers will always gamble on him. Personally I would love to see what Wenger could do with him.
Not sure why you'd want the Balotelli show anyway. As a player he's talented but he stamps on player's heads, sets fire to his house and is totally out of control. If it weren't for the media love-in with him I think people would have realised what a total **** he is much earlier.
On Radio 5 Live the guy they brought on to comment about this said "Basically, Balotelli is a nutcase. I like him but he's a nutcase" My thoughts exactly. Guy has a screw lose.
