How much is he signing for? You've just got rid of one bad egg, don't think you should be chasing another . Good player, when he wants to be. He'll probably score a **** load in his first 10 games then sack it off.
On his day, a very good player. If Rodgers can handle him, you may have a very good replacement for Suarez. It depends where he is between his ears.
Can't decide really, he is a very good player at times. But he has a tendency to sulk and get moody when things dont go his way (like Rooney but 10x worse) and his head drops. Plus he can be a dick off field and do silly **** which put him on the front page of the papers instead of the back. However, if Rodgers can reel him in, you would have a great player on your hands, but there are so many variables....it is a risk for sure!
Amazing how little fuss there's been about him since he left England + English press behind. Great scoring ratio for a pretty dire Milan side. If Rodgers has the same effect on him he had on Suarez... We're laughing at £17m. Even now if it wasn't for Milan's finances he's worth £20+
Milan fans think hes rubbish and want him gone. Hes not really very good at all. Never was and never will be. On a par with nick bender.
He's a twat who shows flashes of brilliance. A bit like Suarez but with far fewer flashes. He'll have driven Rodgers round the bend by Christmas.
What effect? The world cup wasn't a great tribute to Rodgers' attempts to make him into a normal human being.
Rodgers allowed Suarez to become one of the top 3/5 players in the world... Nothing much. Balotelli doesn't have Luis' genuine violent side to master.
I think most of the credit should go to Suarez rather than Rodgers for that to be honest. What did Rodgers do? Play him? Break the Nobel prize!!
I do think that Rodgers had a big influence on his game, no doubt he improved under Rodgers Managers should get credit for helping players move to the next level. He'd be flogging a dead horse with Balotelli though. IMO
