Mario Ballotelli

[Naybrains]

Claims he may leave England due to the way he's being treated. Maybe if he had acted like a grown adult since he came to this country he would have been treated a bit better,
Clogg dancing on another players head didn't help.
Your thoughts on Super Mario?

 

[G1BB0]

too temperamental (emphasis on the mental), he is always borderline to do something silly, a decent player all the same but too much indiscipline

 

[AuburnWarrior]

I may be wrong but I've not seen him do anything in a game that's made me think "Wow! That's why he's worth all the agro!"

I reckon Man City/Mancini are well rid - if he goes.

Talented - Yes
Potential Matchwinner - Yes
Total Nutcase - The biggest there is

At the minute for City probably a necessary evil especially with the Tevez saga showing no sign of ending

 

[Hobbit]

Sell him, and Tevez and buy someone who doesn't come with the same baggage.

 

[USER1999]

I like him. Sport needs characters, and he is one. Could do without the stamping on people though. Unless it's on Ashley cole.

 

[johnboywalton]

I think he has got talent, but surely not worth the hassle he brings.......total knob!!!!!!

 

[Naybrains]

As for the haircut, the hairdresser should be locked up for letting him leave like that.

 

[Captainron]

He had his issues in Italy too. Why do managers think thye can reprogramme unruly players. Barton, Bellamy, Tevez, Ballotelli et al. Good footballers but they are all fruit loops! Move from club to club and never change their ways. Mario is one crazy mofo!!

 

[PhilTheFragger]

Highly watchable, very entertaining, matchwinner definately.
Would I have him in my team? NO, because he is a loose canon

Lost touch with reality, needs a good kicking, which im sure he will get one of these days

I have to agree.. football needs characters and this guy is one of them.

I'd rather watch a league full of mentalists than good honest pro's any day of the week.

Now this guy needs to be banned for life.

As a City fan I despaired of him and then felt perhaps he was turning a corner and Mancini was managing him well. He did start to seem more under the manager's influence and the team's reaction to his penalty suggested an improvement there too. He is very talented and is also a fruitcake with a troubled past but think he and Aguero work better than Aguero does with Dzeko who is a bit of a donkey if you ask me. In real time I couldn't see anything but clumsiness in his challenge with Parker and still feel (not through sky blue tinted lenses) that he was off balance and unaware of where Parker was...there wasn't much of a reaction from Parker at the time nor the Tottenham players.

I'd keep him as an impact player and give him more time - he is only 21...

I have heard alot of stories where he has been very generous to the general public one where he give a homeless man £1000 outside a casino and a second he apparently was at a petrol station and payed for a full tank for everyone. What he did Sunday though was bang out of order and he could have blinded Parker if he caught his eye with his blades or even killed him had he caught his temple.

To me it would be the equivalent of Rory swinging a club at Woods head on Thursday, the stamp was viscious and was struck with intent.

 

[DappaDonDave]

like rooney, a great player but a fricking liability sometimes.

 

[alnecosse]

Thought Parker should have got up and let Balotelli know he was in a game in next tackle only seen it the once but thought it was more just a fly kick than a stamp but he connected so should have been red carded most of the premiership teams would play Balotelli love him or hate him he knows where the net is.

 

[DAVEYBOY]

Hes as much of a liabilaty to city as Hesky 6 yards out with an open goal is to Villa.

I have to agree with you here mate, Any challenge can look bad and over the top when it is slowed down and analysed.

 

[Golfmmad]

I think Ballotelli should have been sent off. He was very clever - stamped on Parker and then pretended to lose balance and fall over.

Then the way he stood there after scoring the penalty, what a knob! Get rid of him.:angry:
