I see Mario and Mancini have been at each other's throats all captured by a snapper. if that's not trying to orchestrate a January sale I dont know what is! edit - It's annoying that one cant ammend typos in titles when quickly typing with a colleague looking over one's shoulder.
Yep, showing the worlds media that Balotelli gets into altercations with his manager is the perfect way to fashion a move elsewhere
I'd like to know how often this kind of thing goes un noticed by the media and is swept under the carpet by the club. Wonder if he happens very often or not, I suppose this story wouldn't have come out had it not been for the opportunist with the camera.
Mario has got no respect for anybody, he will be sold down the line to a number of Italian clubs and within a few years be a nobody, shame waste of talent
I expect him at Milan on loan within a week. They've just agreed to sell Pato and Robinho and he's a Milan fan (he held up a Milan shirt on TV whilst at Inter) - you cant tell me this is a coincidence.
I really think it is. Someone desperate (Milan) will think they can get him on the cheap now as Citeh will want rid. He got involved in high-profile fights with Inter players regularly and Mourinho said he couldnt manage him but you always get someone who thinks he can get someone to change.
He's got to be the most over-rated player in football. People talk about Rooney being over-rated but he scores 20+ goals regularly and even if he flatters to deceive on the internation stage, at least there is something to rate him for at club level. Balotelli just seems to be only famous for being a prat to me, I've rarely ever seen him do anything special in terms of football and whenever he does something a bit good it's blown out of all proportion and people start going on about this maverick talent saying things like "If only he could control his temperament he'd be one of the world's best...". He isn't even one of Man City's best.
he has the biggest ego in football, and would look down on anyone and everyone, they say there is a fine line between confidence and arrogance, Mario wiped his arse on that line like a dog drags its arse along the floor..
Berlusconi has said he doesn't like Balotelli. http://www.sportsmole.co.uk/footbal...s/berlusconi-not-keen-on-balotelli_62189.html
Quite admire Mancini's style. The bloke clearly sees football as a business and not some kind of blokey larky game that just happens to shower riches on those who play it well. It's a shame his English is so **** as he would have cut more interviewers to shreds, and stated his case more clearly instead of his ' This is no good...you see ...he make goal' bumbling chat. He doesn't ever look like he's enjoying his job or sees the funny side of it. Nor should he with the money they pay him. He's exasperated by Balotelli's childishness and lack of focus. Vialli or Zola would make for better assistants that Brian Kidd, and could help Mancini manage the media better, with their superior language skills.
This is very true. If i were a manager I think I'd avoid such players; they don't deserve to be paid the salary if they can't play good football AND behave reasonably professionally; it's really not a lot to ask.
Yes but Galliani does. Berlusconi didn't want to sell Pato cos he (Pato) is ****ing Silvio's daughter but its happened. Berlusconi also has said countless times he wants to sack Allegri but Galliani has stuck by him. Silvio has a very much backseat role at Milan nowadays and him saying this means nowt.
He signed Mario for Citeh after giving him his debut at Inter as a 17 year old (a game i saw in the flesh as it happens) and he knew EXACTLY what he was getting. Have you ever wondered why Inter wanted rid of Mario? Why dont you google his antics whilst at Inter, his mentalness started long before he came to Blighty. Zero sympathy for Mancio here.
