He's got to score a few more before I start to fall in love with him - sure I will though

Clearly the signs of a maturing player...

Before anyone kicks off, no I don't read the Daily Mail.

My boss told me about this today.

Mario Balotelli drove to Liverpool training on Thursday in his £240,000 Ferrari F12 Berlinetta that has been shipped over from Italy.

The 24-year-old has now been reunited with his beloved supercar, which was seen arriving at Liverpool's Melwood training base as Balotelli and his team-mates prepare for Saturday's Premier League trip to West Ham.

The Italy forward joined Brendan Rodgers side in a £16million switch from AC Milan in August and he will have been buoyed by the fact his luxurious vehicle has finally made the same move.

Balotelli's love of cars is legendary and many of his infamous scrapes and japes have involved one of his motors.

The Italy star's most famous vehicle was probably the camouflage £160,000 Bentley GP in which he was spotted in Manchester. His white Maserati was also ticketed in the city centre.

Earlier this year, his former fiancee - according to some reports - Fanny Neguesha posted a video on Instagram showcasing Balotelli's love of fast cars.

She also put up a picture of some car keys, including those to the Ferrari, a Lamborghini and an Audi.

Balotelli is motoring on the pitch after opening his account with a goal against Ludogorets in Liverpool's 2-1 Champions League win on Tuesday.

His boss Rodgers confirmed that maverick forward will retain his place for the trip to Upton Park

Wonder what the insurance is on that for a 24 year old.

[S-RED]

2 days pay......

[Gibbo]

I was so unsure about him signing but I ****ing love him.

[Assassin]

Good man Giblet

Clearly the signs of a maturing player...

How many players would take the time to do some 'health and safety' checks on behalf of his team mates, what if a shot had hit that towards a player, resulting in said player getting his head stuck ?

Mario was onto it though, he saw the danger, checked it out, and then made a recommendation as to what safety gear to wear!

Now tell me! What is so wrong about that!

[Boogs]

He's a 24 year old having a laugh?

Either that or he's been reading too much Dulce et decorum est...

Social media - an open mic for utter morons.

A minor point considering the racism, but he didn't troll Man Utd, he just laughed at them.
