I tells yer, he'll go to the MLS

[Fredo]

Yeah he's just misunderstood is all

Do you understand anything at all, Dan?

[kingfunk]

Like President Obama needs another political scandal on his Presidency

[Chazza]

Di Canio said he wouldn't sign Mario, coming from the man who signed Joy Altidore that doesn't bode well.

A deadline day loan to Italy looms.

[PTP]

Yeah listened to that interview, he was also saying that to him balotelli comes across as celebrity first rather than a footballer an that it looks like someone who just wanted to be rich and famous and has used football to do that

[Shaggy]

I just think Balotelli doesn't like football and he can't be ****ed with it.

[PTP]

But he still wants to get paid millions and be in the spotlight/relevant in some way.

Otherwise surely he'd just take his millions, retire and disappear

[red g]

exactly, He loves pretendng that he is going to make an effort, bar 1 or 2 seasons he has constantly under delivered and made a fortune for being generally ****e.

There's a bit more here:

Balotelli’s Liverpool career unravelled quickly. Staying up with friends late the night before a Champions League defeat to Basel in Switzerland was a bad way to endear himself to manager Brendan Rodgers. Then he was banned from driving after being caught speeding at 109mph on the M62 in December.

By Christmas, indeed, Balotelli did not know the names of some of his team-mates – regulars who feature in the starting XI. It is reasoned he lost out on moments where relationships are developed because he missed home cooking so much that rather than eating at Melwood before and after training, he organised for lunch and dinner to be delivered to his Formby mansion from an Italian restaurant.

Balotelli now knows he has no future at Liverpool. It did not deter him from beginning his 25th birthday celebrations at 1am on Wednesday morning, with friend Desmond N’Ze releasing a video on social media of the striker being sprayed with Veuve Clicquot champagne. Earlier, upon receiving a parking ticket in Liverpool’s city centre, Balotelli took to Instagram, revealing a photograph of the issuing attendant.

Until 18 months ago, N’Ze was also a footballer, contracted to Fujeida MYFC in the Japanese third division. Having met Balotelli at Internazionale in 2008, N’Ze is said to have given up on his professional career and since has operated as Balotelli’s gopher.

The pair have been inseparable on Merseyside, with Balotelli frequently inviting N’Ze into Melwood before it was made clear by management that he would not be welcome.

As last season ambled towards a conclusion, N’Ze was often seen sleeping in the passenger seat of Balotelli’s red Ferrari in Melwood’s car park, waiting for his friend to finish work.

Those who witnessed Balotelli’s efforts in training admit that he might as well have joined him.
