dave hendricks mentioned it on a podcast. it came from some guy called kristian bennet who nailed the pascoe, marsh and probably achterberg dismissals before anyone.Originally posted by kev776 View Postlink please, need to read before I go kill the owners.
he says balotelli wont be sold because of commercial reasons or at least they dont want to sell him.[B]Sir Isaac Newton knew the universal law of karma - any action has its equal and opposite reaction.[B]

hes not as bad as what we have seen. his best game was when he had a partner up front with him in sturridge. he struggles by himself but can be very effective in a two which we didnt see bar one game last season.Originally posted by kev776 View Post
Proof if true that it is all about commerce, not winning trophies.
if we accept that markovic and emre can have been played out of position and deserve more time in their own positions why cant we use the same for Mario.
he's not so young like the other two but like them we didnt play to his strengths.[B]Sir Isaac Newton knew the universal law of karma - any action has its equal and opposite reaction.[B]

A football club is a business though Kev, you can't blame them for running it as such.Originally posted by kev776 View Post

They obviously want to win trophies as it will bring in more revenue, but if keeping Mario on is more beneficial to them than getting rid of him then I see no problems.
They only time it becomes an issue is if they force him to be played when he was out of form, which im 99.99999% sure they won't do.The times they are a changin'.

It is a sporting club designed to win, therefore if a player is as **** as he is he must go. No other club with ambitions of winning would keep such a weak link. His salary must be close to 90k a week, I'm sure we don't sell 90k of merchandise due to him.Originally posted by Gibbo View PostA football club is a business though Kev, you can't blame them for running it as such.

An example if true of owners poking their collective trumpets into an area which should be left to the football men and not the bean counters.Those that hid Anne Frank were breaking the law.
Those that killed her, were following the law.

I wonder if it's part of the great Rodgers conspiracy?Originally posted by el matador View Postapparently the owners dont want to sell him.
Rodgers hates him.... He's indispensable
A lot of people run a race to see who is fastest. I run to see who has the most guts, who can punish himself into exhausting pace, and then at the end, punish himself even more.

I wasn't going to be as derogatory about Ings but I had thought of posting that Ings/Balotelli would at least make tactical sense as a partnership. I hope that it isn't the route we are taking though.Originally posted by Daniel 7 View PostMario and Ings up front
Mario might thrive with a headless chicken / Baros type next to him though, you never know."The man who never alters his opinion is like standing water, and breeds reptiles of the mind."
