Mario Balotelli

[R_9-Ronaldo]

I'm not saying he can't play well in that position. I'm saying I think he could be far more effective as a striker.
A great goal-scorer is a rare commodity.

Why put him on the wings? A lot of sacrifces will have to be made like United had to do with Ronaldo around. He's so strong, just pair him with Rooney and then drool

either way according to his brother Corrado and his sister Christina he is suffering heaps from the racist pressure being put on him

[R_9-Ronaldo]

BBC just wrote a piece on this, it's getting out of hand

BBC World Service - Sport - Is Italy dealing with football racism?

[Carlo]

I just read the article in the op, didn't realise it was that bad, I knew about the racism and that there had been a lot of trouble with the clubs getting fined and what not but that is really disgusting behaviour, thank god I'm not an Italian football fan, I couldn't stomach listening to that kind of behaviour from anyone!

[R_9-Ronaldo]

It is getting pretty bad

[LW1]

I'd like us to sign him. Although I believe he's a bit lazy in training because Jose has openly moaned about his attitude.

He's good up front and on the wing, it would be ideal to have someone who can rotate with the wingers and strikers. He's still very young too.

The good things about him is that he won't play in the african cup because he plays for the Italian national team (**** knows why because a lot of them are racist). Spain is known for being racist, Germany is too so he's best in England. So he's got to decide if he'd rather play in the cold or have bananas thrown at him. Easy choice when you consider how good our league is and how shit racism is.

I heard Jose is pretty tired of his antics, very talented player no doubt, but has worse consistency problems than Nani.

Mario's sister knows best, she's pretty glamour too.



Mario is great on the left wing, very similar player to Cristiano just abit worse in every department except speed/vision/long shots, But that's no insult he's still world-class and would light the premier league up, under fergusson it wouldn't take too many years for him to be considered the best.

Christina speaks out on the racism
The Canadian Press: In punishing black football star, Italian league sends wrong message on racism

Why don't we solve this problem for him.....

Could you please learn how to spell our managers name before you start suggestion players!

No doubt the lads talented but he has a tendency to go for glory rather than pass, somewhat like nani used to be before his new found form. Perhaps for anything under £10 mill id say yes, but it this day and age we know thats not going to happen.

Mancini's already had a word (there's something on SSN)

There's already a thread on him, from what I remember, people weren't overly keen...

I rate him - definitely needs nurturing and as in a lot of cases, his attitude / ego goes before him sometimes...

Definitely a talent though.

[canto]

Think he's an arrogant cnut,would sign him if it meant we got to see abit more of his sister though

[Owenzy]

Inter have a new 'golden generation' of players coming through their ranks. In the last year Santon, Balotelli and Krhin have broken into their first team squad, all three of them have the potential to become world class. They also have two or three decent prospects out on loan.

[LW1]

I'd take Santon no doubt, cant remember if i've seen the other guy. where does he play?

[NoxiousD]

Mario is great, but if we thought Rooney was a hothead then this guy makes Rooney look tame

[United soul]

dam italian racists!!

and lol u r rigth nox, hes pretty hothead, but i think the fact that u get boos, insults, graffitis, ppl throwing bananas, could be the reason he acts like that???

that must be pretty irritating and sad

[dlan4327]

Balotelli has the potential to be the next big thing. His finishing can be great but I've also seen him fluff plenty of chances.

I mean he'll score a stunner but miss a couple of sitters. I still think his attitude is the major issue but he's changed a lot.

He's definitely working on his arrogance.

Khrin, is a midfield player, i've watched him a few times, he's f*ckin quality imo, love it if we got him...
As for balotelli, great player, we need someone with some fire in their belly, i loved it when we played them in the CL, and he wiped out ronny, and just told him to get the f*ck up, we would need to stop him being rash, pushing etc etc. But would love to see he him in the Red of united!

[mancini's scarf]

if balotelli goes anywhere it'll be manchester city with maicon!

[hdcantona]

tw@ but he's a quality player, I think part of his attitude problem is because he's at Inter, he needs to be in more of a "team"

[Owenzy]

He reminds me of Berbatov.
