Mario Balotelli is a man of great integrity and humility. He's had a tough upbringing yet despite this he's still managed to rise to the top of his profession. He just needs to knuckle down this summer and with the warmth of our full appreciation we will see the beast within next year. In a world of stage managed robotic footballers its nice to have someone onboard who goes against the grain and shows his honesty on a regular basis. This lad will come good. He's too good not to.

BREAKING NEWS: Mario Balotelli's agent says striker will not be leaving Liverpool this summer. More on #SSNHQ

I assume that translates as there's no one mug enough to consider buying him (or if there is, they haven't surfaced yet).

So read into this what you will

I'm not even sure Balotelli knows what he means by that

Revamp set to seal Mario Balotelli’s Liverpool exit

Tony Barrett
Published 4 minutes ago

Liverpool are determined to offload Mario Balotelli this summer despite claims by his agent, Mino Raiola, that the forward will remain with the Merseyside club.

Although Brendan Rodgers’s patience with Balotelli snapped several months ago, Raiola said that he expects Liverpool to keep the Italy striker after a disappointing first season at Anfield.

“We have talks with Liverpool and he will stay,” Raiola told Sky Sports. “I spoke many times with the club and they were happy with his input as a professional.” Asked whether Balotelli and Rodgers, the Liverpool manager, had adapted to each other over the season, Raiola added: “I think Mario did; I cannot talk for Brendan Rodgers.”

Balotelli did not appear in Liverpool’s final four games after being taken off in the second half of a 1-0 defeat away to Hull City last month. He had featured sporadically, with Rodgers preferring to deploy Raheem Sterling, a winger, in a central attacking role.

Regardless of his agent’s optimism, the reality for Balotelli is that Liverpool are in the process of revamping their attack, with an offer for Christian Benteke, the Aston Villa forward, understood to be imminent and Danny Ings expected to sign from Burnley.

Balotelli, Rickie Lambert and Fabio Borini will be sold if suitable offers are received. Realistically, none of the trio is likely to remain at Anfield beyond the summer transfer window.

The moment we signed him it was obvious he was stuck here for at least 2-3 seasons regardless of how useless he would become. Did any one actually believe he'd be sold so quickly?

[baitman]

. Did any one actually believe he'd be sold so quickly?

Yep, I wanted the lazy ****er out in the january window.

[paulg]

So we bring in the mighty Ings and Benteke, find out no one will take Balotelli, Lambert or Borini off us so end up with 5 **** strikers.

[The s man]

This is why i have no faith in the business side of player dealing's - transfers at the club.

Benteke is hardly **** ... just not the striker 99.99% of the fans think we need ...

Carroll ... Ballotelli .... Lambert ... Benteke no .. just no already
