****, I hope that's true!

You are fiddling with my heart attack strings.

Come on Juve, you know it makes sense. Look at how Inter are strenghtening. Do it!

Thought what was in the Italian media the other day was that Juve wanted him on loan until the summer and then have the option of buying him for 14m in the summer.

There's no way they are that stupid.

Heart attack strings?

Heart attack strings?

That's all I could splutter out, along with my lunch, when I read the (good) news. Probably too good to be true.

Mario Balotelli will not be leaving Liverpool for Juventus this January, the Italian club's manager Massimiliano Allegri has confirmed
He told Italian TV station RAI: 'I think this is a made-up story.
'Balotelli has done very well with me but he belongs to Liverpool and he is not a player that can arrive at Juventus.'

£14m for Balo + £7-10m for Borini = Lacazette. Thanks.

I can categorically tell you Mario Balotelli will not be at Liverpool.

In my last press conference I was asked a question about Mario Balotelli and I talked about what a talent he was and what an excellent player he was. And the next day it was wrote as if we were signing him. I just gave my perception of him as a player. It shouldn’t be transmitted into us signing the player.”

...Rodgers said on the eve of Liverpool’s game against Manchester United in Miami.

Don't question it.....just get it done.


Let's put this unpleasantness behind us.

[frank the tank]

i think Mario will come good. He is the type of player that needs a partner and for me, i think Sturridge and Balotelli could possibly have a good partnership. Obviously not as good as Sturridge and Suarez but we could buy every possible striker in the world and never replicate that from last season....

Mario is still young as well.

All being said and done though, it would be very difficult for LFC not to cut their losses if a £14m bid came in for Balotelli......if we could sell Balotelli and Borini and replace them with one top striker in Lacazette (although we are more likely to get Berahino!) then it would probably be an okay move. Especially when you consider that we have Origi to come in during the summer as well.....

[RedReet]

But playing him up top with Sturridge would mean one or two from Sterling, Coutinho, Lallana and Marko would have to drop to the bench to accommodate him.

I know what my preference would be...

Markovic?
