Mario Balotelli [On the Road to Ballon d'or)

Duncan Castles on the Balotelli Transfer. Seems to think that there is/was something fishy with it all.

Entirely speculative piece. Buying Balotelli will always seem weird for us because, well, it was, but the simple explanation imo is that we ran out of options and motivated by urgency and what seemed like a no-lose fee, changed our minds. I'm not sure it is at all fair then for someone to speculate that we actually might have broken FA rules to sign him and lied about it as if nothing else makes sense.


Even though, if it is true, we only have another ~6 months of this farce left

Oh, and this bit...

In Fenway Sports Group, after all, they have owners who boasted about reneging on a release clause in Luis Suarez's contract one summer ago and used a medical to try and reduce the terms of an offer to Loic Remy this one.

Ha ha

What a bitter ****wit!

[Chazza]

On his way back from the Italy training camp with a minor hamstring issue apparently.

[RoadEnd]

Is that actually good news

[RedRum]

Good news for Borini and for us

[Kenneth]

As long as he's fit by January.

[BigChief]

Can't stop this extreme feeling of indifference to his injury.

[Roboklopp]

Got a bit if insider gossip as I rekindled and old friendship the other day who's linked to someone on the coaching staff. Don't think he'll ever fit in, was a panic buy and the other players don't like him.

Hardly groundbreaking news but worth me mentioning given how much I trust my .

Haha, did think that was a bit of an overreaction on that bit.

WTGOR anyone could make that up, so predictable. I think the truth is actually very different and i say this based on player body languages I see on the pitch.

Based on Aristotle's doctrine of the mean
I suggest the truth lies somewhere in between
