Mario Balotelli
- Thread starter devilish
- Start date
Keane? Cantona? I understand the doubts about this lad because he is a cnut but It doesn't mean he can't channel that ino brilliance at united or any other club.
I've only really noticed since he left that Keano is a cnut, but he was a very professional player and loyal enough. Not sure Balotelli is professional or loyal, but I guess Fergie could sort him out.
According to Macari he talked with a trusted person within the United camp which confirmed him that we are not interested in Balotelli. It was on MUTV.
Congratulations on buying into articles written by the Italian media who write the articles for the public who enjoy hating this black Italian.
I've said it a million times, take him out of that environment and he has nothing to
retaliate against.
You love Rooney right? Before he signed for us did you buy into the articles that he was a granny shagging, petulant, aggressive and angry young man that would self implode and get sent off every other game?
Keane had the right mindset on the pitch though, a born leader with a fiery temper. Cantona was arrogant but played with heart and for the club.Keane? Cantona?

Balotelli is still some way more idiotic than both combined. A bad temper, pathetic attitude on the pitch, whose idea of a team game is to whine until he gets a place on the starting eleven.
Er, no, he's really that bad. If you thought Adebayor's attitude stinks on the pitch when things go wrong, Balotelli will make him look good.
Rooney had a temper but his attitude on the pitch is top-notch - selfless, a team player and hates to lose. Balotelli is almost the opposite.
Racism is a problem in the Serie A football grounds but not on the media. Anyway Balotelli is not the first black Italian playing in the Seria A. Fabio Liverani is of Somali descent and you wouldnt hear one bad word about him in the media.
At this stage, all muppets hopes rest on Ozil...
we dont need him since we have gibson and hargreaves.
Devilish is one step closer to muppet suicide
He doesn't have the attitude of a Man Utd player. Would be very surprised if Fergie moves for him.
So busting up with Materazzi, berating Zanetti and Cambiasso, not following his manager's instructions, wearing Milan jersey on national TV, making for almost daily run-ins with everyone from fans to match officials to opponents to even teammates and all that because he's a black Italian? Really?
I didn't say the media was, they are no different to any other media though. The terraces made him a hate figure while the media spotte this and write what they know the public want to read. I'm not saying he's an angel by any means but the media has exerrated the whole thing.
He doesn't know what he's talking about. Clearly.
Media exxerates all the time.
I've never read any Italian media articles
I judge it on what I've seen
I'm afraid you're wasting your time trying to compare him to Rooney, if you're doing that you clearly just don't get what the difference is
Reported for racism.
Well we're not going to sign anyone else.
I think Fergie might have been pretending to be interested in Balotelli so that City would swoop leaving Fergie free to swoop for another target! It wouldnt make much sense to sign another striker unless Vidic is off to Real and we can get Benzema in exchange. But we seem fine for strikers. A young talented playmaker though might be signed out of the blue but I wouldnt count on it!
Let's get one thing straight: not all of Balotelli's bad behaviour has been in response to racism. Some of his cuntishness comes to the fact that, well, he's just a bit of a cnut. He's just been given a convenient excuse by the racism he has been subjected to, which he has every right to react to.
Whether he can be helped to grow out of that is another matter.

If he does come here, someone will need to be shown the door.
Sat there, hidden away in that paragraph, lies the whole reason for all these transfers stories in the first place. We're not buying Balotelli any more than we were buying Sneijder and all the rest of them.
(Wouldn't mind being wrong about this).
It may be done to his age, the pressure to do well in a big club who isnt exactly renowned for grooming young talent or his agent who is a cnut but he did alot of cnutish things in his life. At one point he was critized by the media, the fans, the manager and the players. Are they all racists?
His agent is a cnut actually, I heard he was the one who forced the transfers of Maxwell and Ibrahimović. Gobby bugger too with all the agent talk in this thread.
Still doesn't excuse him though - Cassano as a youngster is the closest you'd get to Balotelli - buckets of talent but a pathetic attitude, and now is only showing glimmers of what could have been (and still falls out with people at the club). But nowhere near where he could have been.

well Mourinho surely is. Since he's benching him that's surely the sole reason. It's perfectly normal for Balotelli to refuse to dress up and sit on the bench not once, but three times. Fergie, lenient as he surely is, would love to hear that if he comes to us.
Seen that and that has convinced me that we were never interested
Mourinho is no racist.
there you go.
If he is a racist then why Drogba, Essien and co never complained about it? Why not even Balotelli had pointed his finger to him and said that he is a racist? Mourinho once said that one of his favorites players at Chelsea was Drogba. How come?
Mourinho is racist? 
uhm, I guess you really missed the point.
Mourinho is not a racist, neither are Cambiasso, Zanetti, Stankovic etc. The reason why Balotelli doesn't get along with neither of them has nothing to do with racism. Some say that he is what he is because of the abuse he gets. However since he doesn't get along with managers, teammates, captain etc, shows the reason is elsewhere - his cnutish behaviour.

or naivity/growing too rich too soon.
I think its a mix of all of them

so why exactly would manchini want him?

Pexbo will be along very shortly to tell you that, what you've just said is bollox (regarding those 3 players) and then say that your sources aren't reliable. Everything Mario's done is down to the racism you see. The poor lad. Cambiasso, Stankovic and Zanetti (a gentleman if there ever was one) are all closet cross burners. They've somehow provoked poor Mario or the reports are all lies, LIES I tell you.
Pexbo, the Premier league has little to no racism, I expect Ballotelli not to act like an arsehole but when he does, I'm sure you'll give us all an explanation into why anyway.
High profile, obvious talent, signing players like that may attract more and more class player to the club.
Being a cnut doesn't stop Shitty, quite the opposite, it seems it's a desirable quality.
He's worked with him before.
true but mancinis managed him before and he seems to think (if it's true) that he's manageable. If we did go for him, i'd expect Sir Alex to be able to do something similar though as has been said, his agents terrible
bear in mind that Mancini worked with him in his debut season. He then was more content to be on the bench and fame was just getting to him.
Nowadays he seems to think he's the second coming of Jesus, should be an absolute starter, doesn't care about teamwork, thinks that some of his teammates and captain are old farts and need to retire, that his manager and fans owe him something, hired an agent who is notorious of getting players out of Inter, clashes with officials, opposing fans, own fans, Totti, Materazzi etc.
In any case atm he seems to thing that everything is as in the song "the world is mine".
I do think Balotelli is not the same Balotelli 3 years ago - he's much worse. If Mancini thinks he can handle him - fine, but having in mind that Shitty have an awful lot of forwards and how Balotelli is content to sit on the bench I won't be holding my breath.
