Right,

So Mancini has said he is probably off at the end of the season. Though he is undeniably a troublemaker, he is also a very good player on form.

Where does the caf believe he will go ?

I think it would be so interesting to see how Ferguson would sort him out if he came to United - would he be able to control him, or is he as unmanageable as it is thought? Obviously nobody wants him at OT or anything that ludicrous, but I'd find it so interesting to watch how that would play out in a hypothetical world :lol: .
 
I don't think he'll go anywhere because no one that he would join would or could go for him.

Or they wouldn't want him because he continually acts like a petulant school girl. Friend of mine is a City fan, says he'd gladly see the back of him.
 
What kind of wages is he on? Must be something insane but I can't remember. Might rule out a move.
 
his agent (raoila) is saying that balotelli wants to stay.. (even if 2 weeks ago mario went to milan to say hello to the new inter coach)

Translation: raoila/balotelli want to milk city till the last penny.

Wasn't it like a week/month after signing for City he already said he wanted to return to Italy??

sure.
When he was at inter, he said that he would like to play for their arch rivals - milan.
The presence of Raoila doesnt help either. If i were united i would try to say away from the likes of raoila and joorbachian as much as possible. Their clients certainly does not help team spirit/harmony.
 
Doubt he'll go anywhere myself, much more likely that Mancini will leave IMHO

He'll become the new tevez, fecking them around all season, disrupting the squad and refusing to leave

Excellent :cool:
 
I thought Milan but i actually can't see him coexisting with Robinho, Prince, and Zlatan. Inter seem like they could use him more at this stage.
 
As if they could get rid of him. No one will be wanting to buy him since he proved again he is uncontrollable, his wages are way to high for most other teams to pay and Cities owners will ask way too much money for him.

It's the same with Tevez, no one willing to pay their wages nor the transfer money demanded for them.

Good thing both of them have 5 year contracts until someone more stupid then City comes along they will be stuck with them for the next 3 respectively 4 years.
 
A loan deal to Inter with City subsidising his wages - great business.
 
Remember when Mancini told us Tevez will never play for City again?

Put your money where you mouth is.
 
City still have Adebayor and Santa Cruz on their books. They could always bring Adebayor back if Balotelli and Tevez leave.
 
He's been flirting with Milan since he arrived.

That said, I wouldn't believe he's played his last game for City on Mancini's say so.
 
Didn't he wear a Milan shirt while still at Inter? Not that it means anything when it come to Balotelli
 
Is probably on a ridiculous wage, with City wanting a ridiculous transfer fee for him.
In my opinion, they're going to be unable to sell him, just like Tevez.
 
Milan would be feckin awesome ^^ What a team that would be... Robinho, Cassano, Ibra and him...fckin hell that's crying for trouble :) would be damn good football as well.
 
A month after signing with Shitty he was already flirting with AC Milan. I guess that if the price (and salary demands) are right he'll end up there. AC Milan has a way of dealing with these sort of players (Ronaldinho, Ibra, Robinho etc)
 
Mario Balotelli's agent has responded to Roberto Mancini's claim that the striker could be sold by stating he does not think it will happen.

Mino Raiola spoke with Sky Sports Italia in the aftermath of the latest controversy to erupt around Balotelli.

After making the front pages of many of the tabloids in the past week, Balotelli was hitting the back page headlines on Monday after being red carded in their 1-0 defeat to Arsenal, which looks to have all-but ended their title hopes.

Mancini reacted with anger at Balotelli's red card and general recent behaviour, suggesting he would be sold this summer and that his career could be in jeopardy.

But Raiola insists that he cannot see Balotelli being sold, despite what happened over the weekend.

"I talked with Balotelli, the boy was sorry for what happened," Raiola told Sky Sports Italia. "Mancini said he will be sold? I'm going to speak directly with Roberto and with the club, but I don't think they will really do it.

"Mario's intention is to remain in England and he has a contract with City.

"I understand they may be angry for the title which has eluded them, but, I repeat, I don't think so."

Raiola has been quick to deny that Balotelli's behaviour has been a premeditated plan to force a move.

"I have not seen the episode because I'm travelling so I cannot comment but I can definitely say that there isn't a market strategy. If Mario would leave England he would speak quietly with City," he said.

But he did admit that the player does still yearn for a return to his homeland.

"Does he have a future in Italy? Mario does loves Serie A and he misses Italy."

So basically Raiola's saying that they don't want Mario to move but if it comes to it, well then he's open to move back to Italy. Right, off to Milan he is then. But wait, Mancini can't be trusted either. He seems a very emotional character who runs his mouth a bit at times.
 
It will be another saga like Teveth surely? Citeh will want alot of money for him, but any club in Italy will not prepare to meet their demands. So 2 strikers off to Argentina to play golf for 6 months it is...
