There is a group of AC Milan fans on /r/soccer who would rather play a 4-3-3 with Mussolini, Hitler, and Joseph Kony at the top than ever see Balotelli in a Milan shirt again.

I don't doubt it and they may not be the craziest ones. I really like Balotelli a lot, I mean a lot and think he's really a good guy. However, at AC Milan he went uncontrollably out of his head (like he did for Italy against Uruguay in the WC when I would have personally held him down for Pirlo and De Rossi to strangle) way too often. He would just stop running or really playing at all out of frustration and their fans seemed to only tolerate it for about the first couple of matches.

I never like to see fans whistle their own players but like Jeremy Menez at Roma (good luck again Milan) it's hard to say he wasn't asking for it over and over.

That said, I think England may be better for him as he never acted out as often when at City. I actually think he just hasn't learned to deal with his emotions and felt too much pressure being "the guy" at Milan and, in the WC, as Italy's #9
