Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers' tactics had as much a part to play in Mario Balotelli's failure at Anfield as his own poor form, the striker said as he sealed his return to AC Milan.
Balotelli, 25, has returned to the Rossoneri on a season-long loan from Liverpool, where he scored only one Premier League goal last season after moving from the San Siro for £16 million.
The Italy international told La Gazzetta dello Sport in a lengthy interview published on Thursday that one of the reasons for his struggles was that he did not fit in with Rodgers' style of play, although he has also accepted he was at fault for failing on Merseyside.
"I accept my side of the blame, but Rodgers' tactics were not suited to my characteristics either," Balotelli said. "At the start, I missed a few easy chances, and then I had fewer chances to score, a bit of bad luck and injuries. It was a mess.
"But I never protested. I accepted the coach's decisions and always behaved professionally. My attitude and lifestyle were absolutely normal at Liverpool. There have not been any problems with my private life this last year."

You are getting worked up over Pogba. Rightfully so, but there are no real player swaps, he is going to be 100 million pounds or more.
I know. I don't really think he's coming but a man can dream right? And yea there are never player swaps but I don't understand why not when it makes sense for both teams. And if he's 100m pounds I hope Roman pays it. It's exactly what we need and it's not my money.

I just saw that Kevin Strootman is going to miss all of 15-16 with a third knee surgery. That sucks big time. I kept thinking he'd move to United over the last two years. He had great upside not too long ago.
Makes me wish even more that Bradley had stayed at Roma.

to be fair, they just made a bunch of money on that scouting. they didn't buy him for close to that much
now i do agree that their infatuation with KdB is retarded and they should try to use lopes instead, but this happens all the time with major clubs
hell look at stoke. 2 former "stars of the future" at Barca are playing for them now
major teams have trouble finding adequate PT for young badass players. since they are trying to compete at the level of a league champion, when they have holes it's much safer to buy an established player to achieve that goal
in summary, let me just ask you: how are danny welbeck and paul pogba doing for man u?

welbeck contributed and started big games before he was offloaded. he was given his chance and just didn't quite hit the mark.
pogba you have a point but he was released because fergie and him apparently didn't see eye to eye. not because he wasn't good enough.

Difference clubs like United and Arsenal at least give these kids a chance
you have to take risk for it to pay off.
The best City prospect since the take over just had is spot taken last week after inking a new deal.

major clubs have major issues doing this. look at what real and barca have had to offload lately. bojan was once the centerpiece of barca's future and the jewel of their academy. morata couldn't sniff much PT at real and ends up being basically a starter on a team that made the CL finals. man u has the same issues. the only major EPL team who can claim they do everything to work their youth guys in is aresenal.
i think we're going to see a lot more situations like matic and chelsea, where super clubs loan laon loan then sell youth players...and then reacquire if the player pans out. the portuguese league is the perfect place for this kind of tomfoolery.

Personally I'm shocked that the fee for Lopes was that high. At the end of the day Lopes wanted guaranteed playing time in the first team this season, but the amount of playing time he would have gotten wouldn't have been enough for his development. So City wanted another loan. He didn't. Plus he only had 1 year left on his contract. There's little City can do about that unless they want to play an inferior player for major minutes, which would be stupid. So they could either sell him or let him walk for free.
Even if City wasn't trying to sign KDB, Lopes isn't better than Silva, Sterling, Navas, Yaya or Nasri. There's just not a lot of playing time for him.

I think City are doing the right thing given the current soccer climate. There is no sense giving a player first team minutes in hopes that he eventually pans out. Forcing young players onto the first team only serves to quiet the people that point out City's lack of youth development. At the end of the day, the only thing that matters are trophies.

Burnley announced they signed Joey Barton.

No KDB in Wolfsburg's line-up tomorrow. We know what that means.....
I'd like to thank Ed for getting this transfer done for us finally.

So where does de Bruyne even fit in with City. I usually don't get caught up in the numbers because who cares but 80m for what exactly? Silva's backup?

If I had to guess he'll be on the RW instead of Navas.
-------------Hart---------------
Zaba--Kompany--Mangala--Kolarov
--------Toure-----Fernandinho
KDB----------Silva--------Sterling
------------Aguero--------------
Is how I would guess it will look.
ETA: That gives us Nasri as backup in the middle and left, Navas on the right and Fernando and Delph in those CM roles. We're becoming extremely deep.
