that's weird to single us out. maybe Roma pitched him to us or something?

when we're healthy, he's a sub, but he certainly could have helped us out some this spring. with all our injuries. wouldn't have been a good move for him long term.

(also, what i found interesting is that his career kinda follows Kim Källström's. both solid all around CMs with passing range that did well at very solid clubs but never really broke into the big time anywhere)

Yea pretty much, but he could have at least gone to mid table side like United

But forreal He had some more years in him abroad before going back to MLS.

He would be serviceable for 20 matches or so. Nothing is more taxing than the English calendar esp with playing on Europe on top of that.

if that's true, we're not buying a top striker. i suppose we could loan sanogo out, but still, no real reason to have oli, eto'o, new striker, theo, poldi all wanting to play centrally.

Clearly

I would still like to see him there though. I want Mario to play on every continent and document his adventures. Kind of like An Idiot Abroad...but with Swagotelli blowing things up.

this guy has stated multiple times that he would prefer team XYZ over city. hopefully they've had enough of their unrequited love and aren't spending too much time on him.

I needed a good laugh b/c this work day sucks so i went to his wikipage.

quote:

Balotelli has been given a reputation by the media for being a difficult character and taking part in questionable and often amusing activities. He was once described by Jose Mourinho as "unmanageable." In June 2010, Balotelli and a group of friends fired air pistols in the open in Milan's Piazza della Repubblica. Although denying that he is "crazy" as his mentor Roberto Mancini frequently claims, Balotelli has admitted that he "sometimes does strange things". In 2010, he was photographed in the company of two noted Mafia mobsters.[135] Since joining Manchester City, Balotelli gained a cult following,particularly with Manchester City supporters regularly sing a song with lyrics which make reference to his activities. Musician Tinchy Stryder recorded a song in Balotelli's honour, Mario Balotelli. Balotelli has been the subject of numerous newspaper stories since joining Manchester City, some have been confirmed as true while others have turned out to be erroneous. Within days of joining Manchester City, Balotelli was involved in a car crash. It was reported that Balotelli was carrying £5,000 cash at the time – and that when a police officer asked why he had such a large sum of cash Balotelli replied: "Because I am rich". Off-field activities involving Balotelli have included driving into a women's prison in Italy to "have a look round", and throwing darts at a youth team player during a training ground 'prank' – all of which have been confirmed to be true. Balotelli has also been subjected to tabloid rumours about him confronting a bully in a school after querying why a young Manchester City fan wasn't attending classes, and giving £1,000 to a homeless man on the streets of Manchester, allegations which subsequently turned out to be false.


quote:

Video footage before City's Europa League clash with Dynamo Kiev in March 2011 showed Balotelli requiring assistance to put on a training bib, an incident which teammate Edin Džeko was seen mimicking the following week in the warm up before City's game at Chelsea. In September 2011, Balotelli was reportedly seen using his iPad whilst on the substitutes' bench for Italy during their game with the Faroe Islands, although he denied this on a visit to a prison later that week.


quote:

He also celebrated his goal against Manchester United in October 2011 by unveiling a shirt with the words: "Why always me?" on it – a celebration which seemingly disputes the accuracy of newspaper reports. The day before the match, Balotelli and his friends set Balotelli's house on fire when a firework was let off in it, and later that week Balotelli was unveiled as Greater Manchester's ambassador for firework safety. On 5 November 2011, at the annual fireworks display at Edenbridge, Kent, a 12 metre tall bonfire effigy of Balotelli was unveiled – complete with a Super Mario hat, and a house in the right hand and a 'Giant TNT' firework in his left, which were reference to his recent incident. In December 2011, Balotelli broke a 48-hour curfew before City's game against Chelsea to go to a curry house, although he "was not drinking alcohol, signed autographs, posed for pictures with fellow diners and was involved in a mock sword-fight using rolling pins". The club launched an internal investigation. In March 2012, when Inter Milan (Balotelli's former club) held a press conference for their new manager Andrea Stramaccioni, Balotelli gatecrashed the event. In December 2012, Balotelli was due to take Manchester City to a Premier League tribunal to protest a fine of two weeks' wages over his poor disciplinary record, but eventually dropped his tribunal action a day before the hearing.
