Mario Balotelli [General]

[dom9]

Yep. I agree, best we leave Pre-Liverpool Mario separate.

A simple thread title change would be good for those of us viewing the timeline in Tapatalk.

[Alex]

Done

[Buzzo]

Balotelli.

The only interesting guy playing football these days

Legend. Easily my favourite non LFC player (I've never had one before!)

The skill involved in his first goal against the Mancs the other day as well

I've (apparently) always been a believer

[baitman]

I've (apparently) always been a believer

i wont be a believer until i see his face.

[leo]

I thought the deal had fallen through, when i noticed the thread in general.

[wavydavy]

To be fair he seems like an aquired taste

I've been scared to look what I'd said in the past about Mario. Let's just say I've had a rethink

[OConnor_LFC]

Great signing, if he can control himself on the pitch and stay consistent I will be happy. When you consider we could sell Borini for 14m Balotelli for 16m is a huge bargain.

[dom9]

Playing fields are far more likely to have pollinating dandilions and the like than sports stadia.

My usual razor sharp analysis on the topic in hand.

[PTP]

Haha I liked my

he's the £30m El Hadji Diouf

I ****ing despise footballers like him - all the talent in the world but the brain of a pea!! If I had half his talent I would be 20 times the footballer he is ffS!!!

i love characters, but i hate cunts. why's that so hard to get? same goes for joey barton and diouf.

No way would I take him at LFC ..I think he's a deluxe Ryan Babel.

Nutter though and great value

That man is an idiot.

He needs to grow up.

we should sign him.

I thought he was a cunt but I've completely changed my mind. He's a legend.

he's an idiot

i'm torn - his a prick....but he's ****ing funny about it, and i'd hate to seem him 'calm down' or grow up.

he's entertaining because one way or another, good or bad, you know something is going to happen when he's on the pitch.

I really do wish he played for us, him and Suarez would be lethal, and Ballotelli already hates the scum . How much did city pay for him? 20million area?

Absolute ****ing legend. Can not get enough of him.

Don't think there's ever been a player I initially hated so much and then grew to love him more than anyone else.

He is awesome.

He's a mentalist, a loveable one though. As long as he stays away from Liverpool.

It takes a seriously low IQ to not be able to put a bib on ffs.

Cant get enough of this guy this week! the world has gone mad for him! legend!

Spotted yesterday in newsagents flicking through a porn mag while his missus bought a copy of Hello

he's the new stewart downing

I had a dream he tried to kill me last night, he was behind the bar at my local firing shots off from an Ak-47 while singing the french national anthem.

Still my favorite non-LFC player.

Mourinho put it best. "If he had two brains, he would be twice as stupid"

Yes, he is good value. But, bottom line, he is pure, unadultered, concentrated evil. I genuinely believe him to be the devil.

He's brilliant. And a nutter.

Shaggy is the ultimate ****ing non-nerd-núrd.

Balotelli's agent has just said he may leave this summer because Redknapp and the fa are a bunch of cunts.

I know he's a character an all, but he's also a prima donna of the highest.

He can piss off as far as I care...

Attention seeking?!

I used to think that he was a **** but I've changed my opinion since the firework incident. He's hilarious.

Balotelli and Raheem Sterling on the brink of parenthood. May the Lord have mercy on their souls

We could have the Sterling family on the wings and the two Ballotellis up front!

Sad *******.

I like the guy. He seems a bit of (well, lot of) a prick, but his lunacy transcends that and you can't help but like him.

I would sack the jumped up little prick on the spot. Hate him with a passion. All that ability, all that money. Still as dumb as ****.

Ha yes!!!! I always knew Balotelli was boss

The only chance Balotelli has of reminding me of Rooney is if he ****s a 50 year old prostitute.

im sure he will turn out to be only half as mental as what he first appears......... and i will be gutted

Balotelli is an ultimate arrogant cunt, talk about being deluded.

He's clearly a cunt, but his choice in hats is immense.

City knew what they were letting themselves in for and it shows how rich they are that they can afford to spend £25million on a sulking liability.

He's a ****ing nutter.

Not sure if he actually believes half the things he says, or if he's just saying it to antagonise people and get a reaction.

I love him. He says things to provoke a reaction.

Balotelli is a bit like Robinho with Charlie Sheens mental issues

"What an absolute balloon" wtf ?

The guys a nutter love it.

he really is an immature prick.

Time to grow up and grow up fast

the guy is a bellend - just a nobhead - he won't last long in England - he'll go off the rails, do something even more stupid and then we'll be shipped back to italy

He's a ****ing idiot.

Biggest tosser in football and that's impressive with the amount of utter idiots there are.

I honestly think he needs help. There is something not right with him.

i don't like balotelli - he's a bellend but that is out of order - the idiot is blantantly trying to wind him up to so he can get punched and sell his story to the papers

Love that hat.

Balotelli is professional football's version of fredo.

Loved the wink at Rio. This mofo's my sort of crazy

My new favourite non-LFC player.

The kid is great entertainment, but I agree he wont fulfill his potential or last at City unless a new manager can come in and keep him in line, but im not sure any would have the time or patience to do that! Loose cannon on a different planet, it wont be long before he blows!

He's just a deluxe Ryan Babel, surely? Fast, powerful, rocket shot, complete waster.

Although he's obviously far more of a headcase than Babel was/is.

Love him. He's absolutely bat **** crazy. Need more characters like this in the game.

I don't think he's necessarily horrible, I just think he's completely and utterly mental.

He's ****ing immense

****ing total liability of a player. I would die if we ever ended up with a gob****e like that. Immediately subbed for that.

What a tit.

Good to see more disharmony in the Man City camp though. I'm all for that.

He is one crazy cat.

Amusing character but a total bell end.

The guy is an absolute tit.

But does get points for dissing the **** rag...

[Muddled]

He's like marmite, you either love him or hate him. I don't mind him.

[Gibbo]

I had a dream he tried to kill me last night, he was behind the bar at my local firing shots off from an Ak-47 while singing the french national anthem.

Still my favorite non-LFC player.

That's me, I'm sure it is.

He was good value when he didn't play for us and I did love him, here's hoping he brings the madness but works on the pitch too. That will be ace!

God, you've taken all the joy outta this.

A few of those quotes are yours

[Tee]

Sure I liked/loved him from the start
