There's already a huge thread on him, actually you were posting in it not too long ago

Well he is on the transfer market now (it seems) so he deserves a thread in the transfer forum.
 
Dev, there's no quotes to actually verify that he's been transfer-listed, not even a "source close to the club/an insider."

I would agree with you in normal circumstances but these are not normal circumstances. Balotelli had been pissing off Inter for months. He was even thrown out of the team for quite a long period of time and only returned when he apologised to Mourinho. Now he had messed it up big time again, testing Inter's patience once again. I believe that he will be sold now.

I can see him already, showing up to his OT conference in Chelsea shirt, Fergie all "Oi, boi, whatcha doin".....it would end up by someone being kicked with a boot in the head...:lol:

Nah that's not Balotelli's style. He would come either with a Shitty or a Liverpool gear.

Stating that, if we manage to calm him down, this boy has all the potential needed to become a great player.
 
Looks a quality player at 19.

He'd cost a fortune though. I have no worries about him being a bit mental. SAF would sort him out.
 
WTF was he on last night? He didn't run back to defend and threw fits constantly.. Also he rushed off the field after the match mumbling/abusing while going back into the tunnel..

He's unhappy with Inter. He is usually pretty hardworking expecially with Italy's U21 (unless he doesn't kick someone and get a red for it)
 
Hasn't there been strong rumours linking him to Arsenal?

No, players like him, no manager can handle. Dont overestimate SAF's quality in that department, there are just some personalities where the ego is too large to contain. Can you imagine the strop he'd pull if SAF told him he'll be the on the bench this saturday?

Inter-Balotelli, strappo da addio. Il club ha deciso: Mario sarà ceduto - mercato - SPORTMEDIASET

Its seems that Inter has lost hope on controlling Balotelli and is ready to put him on sale. Lets face it, the club is hardly renowned for handling youth talent and Balotelli is quite a controversial player to handle.

What do you think about him? At 19 he had proven to be quite a good talent who can play both as a striker and on the flanks. Would SAF be able to sort him out though?

His attitude stinks, even someone as good at man management as Mourinho can't handle him. SAF won't be around for much longer. He'd be the type to kick up a fuss at every opportunity. His petulance hasn't looked like improving. He'd be dressing room cancer. Don't want him anywhere near United.
 
I would be happy to take a chance on him. I think its pretty obvious that if he got the crowd with him, the boy would give everything he had.
 
I've only seen him play 4 times (i think) and all 4 times he's not shown me anything to back up all this hype and to top it off, he seems like an absolute cock.

Yep with Mancini as their Manager, I'm pretty much sure that he is gonna be a Citeh player next season

How much do you lot reckon he will cost?

10-12 Million with loads of future incentives although City do have an habit of over-spending so it can be closer to 20 Million
 
He's a childhood Milan fan so I can see him going there. Probably for a reduced fee, Galliani really plays hardball in negotiation. If only he'd pick the proper players :rolleyes:

Yes. I'd want us to sign him without hesitating. Long term he and Rooney upfront would be something else. He and Rooney upfront with Nani/Valencia in a 4-3-3 would be heart stopping good too. Sadly men like Wenger are more likely to go for him than we.
 
I'm gonna put a bet down for him to sign for Man City in the summer, only for him to turn up in a Man Utd shirt in the press conference.
 
I dont understand why you guys dont want him. His really a great talent, close to a wonderkid, but got to work with his attitude. Still very young and will with good help become great. Would be really happy if we signed him, but he will probably stay put, why sell one of the worlds biggest talents?

He causes nothing but trouble at Inter and is an AC Milan fan. I think they'd let him go if the right offer came in.

But I agree with you. I'd be delighted if we bought him. Take the chance SAF!!!!
 
He can play in a 433 and a 442.. I am not too sure if he can play upfront alone though.. He is also quite good at set pieces..

๋Just watched the Inter Vs Juventus replay, was trying to spot Balotelli, all he was doing was looking for a foul, or diving... etc. He'll lose the ball and would not care to track back whatsoever, attitude is shit, then he goes and strikes a stunning free kick which hits the cross bar.... The skill, his tecnique, everything is already there, it doesn't take a blind man to see that he is quality, at 19, he did a lot more than what Ronaldo could do.... His free kicks are awesome, he just lacks the support from the fans...
 
He is too big of a talent to pass up on if available, with a change of scenery I see big things for the young lad. He could be the new United #7, and well he has enough talent to live up to the shirt.
