You clearly realised your meagre argument had fallen to pieces so didn't carry it on. Suit yourself, all you've done is admit defeat and look stupid while doing so.

I don't think it really matters, as with most arguments.
I have rarely seen anything change anybodys mind on here. This would have gone on for a few days...and nobody would be any closer to the others opinion quite honestly.
I thin folk massively inflate Balotelli's 'potential' if I'm honest. But that's just my opinion.
Well that's fair enough. I've had my say and I accept your opinion but people like the poster I was arguing with, who moan about other people's posts, completely ignore their opinions and offer nothing to the debate themselves have no place on this forum.
I guess there are so many times it just goes in circles like...
It's wierd with this fella, because I do think he is a big potential talent. Not sure I see this world beater stuff about him. As we know he's just as likely to be in Strangeways as he is a European Cup Final one day. He's off his box the lad.
I think Hernandez has suprised most, if not everybody, and hopefully he will only improve. Just what united have missed in the last few years IMO

As I said I stopped reading what you had written because it started off as similar nonsense.
Your initial statement was a contradicition and then you went to great lengths to try to explain yourself as you probably knew it was crap.
People who have lazy opinions iniherited from computer games, tabloids and nosense internet sites come out with similar shite to what you have stated about Balotelli. Potential, talent, enigma and similar words are used to describe him.
You stated similar lazy nouns and therefore I couldn't really be arsed to read what you have to say. You then reply with a smilie which is the cherry on top.
The simple fact of the matter is Hernadez has had a much bigger(huge in fact) impact on his first season in English football and it is quite simple to compare it against Balotelli bacause they are in the same league. Balotelli has again been a bit part player scored the odd goal but has shown absolutely nothing of great value.
Who is better? Please don't make me laugh.
For those of you who can't think for themselves then try this. Who do you think a defender would rather face?

Fair shout. Hernandez is a real talent, a hard worker and a very likeable bloke. He's had a huge impact on our side and is sure to have a very bright future.
IMO Balotelli is very talented, but for me, he is unlikely to reach his potential due to a his awful attitude and sulking/arguing with team mates and coaches. He's got multiple screws loose, but if he one day, finally, grows up, he could be a terrific player.
Christ almighty, you truly are a simpleton.
The first three paragraphs that you've written are literally exactly the same to what you said before, so they don't warrant comment as I've already proved them wrong.
When did I say Balotelli was 'better' than Hernandez? I said Balotelli had more talent but Hernandez was a more useful player, and will most likely be a better player in the future. Please, do us both a favour and actually read my posts because I'm a huge Hernandez fan and I think he's made a huge difference for us. Balotelli has cracking, varied footballing ability but a horrible attitude, while Hernandez has a few traits that make him a special player and a great attitude. There are only 2 years between them and by the end of their careers, it is likely that the two will be contrasting examples of the effect attitude has on career success. Hence the frequent comparisons.
I find it bizarre that you jumped on my original post without realising that I wasn't saying Balotelli is/will be better than Hernandez at all. Not even close. If you still don't get that after reading through my posts then honestly, don't bother replying.
To be fair that is not exactly the most objective comparison. Hernandez is far superior in the air, has far better movement, has a much better engine/covers more ground and is generally more intelligent, also obviously he is a much better finisher. Balotelli is stronger (although often opts out of physical battles) and has a better ranged shot, he also arguably has a better touch. I also think it's worth mentioning that Hernandez is much more mentally strong, Balotelli goes to pot (red cards and petulant play) when things aren't going his way, whereas Hernandez keeps plugging away and often deservingly gets his reward for doing so.
Implying that the only thing Hernandez has over Balotelli is his running off the ball is bound to cause a reaction.
They're completely different players, so any kind of comparison is pointless anyway. Hernandez has been brilliant in his role this season though, whereas Ballotelli hasn't.
Once again I think it is clear who has made a fool of themselves.
I'm done with you now.
I'm done with you now.
You make some fair enough points about Balotelli's mental weaknesses, which I agree with. But by 'running off the ball' I was including his intelligence and ground coverage, both of which you mention. I'm not so sure about the aerial and finishing comparisons, though. Both players are very good at both. I suppose Hernandez would be the better finisher if you had to chose one, but both are superb in the air, and Balotelli's height advantage would probably make him nick that one.
In fairness I don't think anyone is arguing with that. Hernandez has had a much better season and probably has a brighter future, I think we probably all agree on that one.
I think it's a fair enough comparison to make though, given their similar ages, the fact they both play in the same city, in the same league and came to their clubs at the same time. There are obvious differences in their games, attitudes and price tags but that's what makes them such an interesting comparison, IMO.
I'm glad you agree.
Hernandez has pissed all over Spazotelli this year, at a fraction of the cost, Spazotelii has been booked more times than hes scored FFS!
Are people still going on about Balotelli as some sort of phenomenal talent? I wonder just how many horrible performances he has to turn in before people realise he's actually not that good at all.

They are actually known for being bitter and having empty blue seats - The Poznan was their way of detracting from that !
'We're not really here'
Yeah, we can see that.

The CL could also feck up their next season. Just look at Spurs, Schalke and other teams who had a hard time to cope in the League while playing in the CL. That kind of rhythm is not easy to get used to, that is why only the top teams perform well in the League and the CL
Yeah let us have our past!
Erm, the 2011 Champions League final is in the past, right lads?

He forgot "modest."
I was fleetingly watching the game last night and was wondering can anybody remember if Martin Tyler said something along the lines of the Poznan being unique?
There is a good chance I'm mistaken.

Last night's commentary was like a love letter to City. Disregarding the fact that City were dire, inferior to Tottenham, and have had eleventy-billion quid thrown at 'em, apparently Manchester City are 'plucky underdogs'. And what a bunch of pluckin' underdogs they are...
'Let them have their past'.....do these people realise that come Saturday we'll likely be the reigning English champions and in a few weeks time, we could potentially be European champions.
They speak as though we haven't won anything recently and they're now the big boys in town. fecking morons

You're not mistaken, he said they have a unique celebration...
I don't buy into that. Mancini and City's style is more suited to European football.
Actually, as I was writing that I just realised an average team knocked them out of the Europa League this season.
As you were!
How shameful is that celebration? Have they any respect at all?
This should make them happy.

To be fair to the bitters, the estimates of how many of them might turn out are entirely based on guesswork...

I love the way they've seemingly all convinced themselves it was a hilarious dig at us, even though the website has put out a follow-up article defending it and admitting it was genuine.
Also, they seem to be trying to portray themselves as happy-go-lucky, self-depreciatingly hilarious legends, even though they're possibly the most bitter fanbase on the planet. Hilarious indeed.

Got a link for that, Feeky?
I did dream this morning that we'd won our 4th European Cup, and a football-less, empty summer was looming.Cheers. That one is littered with typos too.
