QUOTE (Danny @ Aug 22 2015, 02:19 PM)  No, they're 'good players' according to you. You're REALLY contradictory these days my boy. Like I said, good/average, it depends on how you see it. They're all decent players, but really, are any of them going to take us anywhere? No. Generally speaking, they're all relatively decent players, who would most likely be the focal points at their mid-table sides (like most of them were when we poached them off the various Sampdorias, Fiorentinas, Atalantas, etc.) But when looking at it from the perspective of Milan and what our objectives are, they're, and I repeat, average to the cause. If you want to see that as contradictory fine, maybe I'm not explaining myself correctly, but that's how I see it Soriano for example is a good player at Samp, but I still call him an average player who won't really add much of anything to our overall average midfield. |

Balotelli been linked with a return.
I will struggle to support him if he ends up in our shirt again. |

That would be utterly ridiculous. Don't we have enough strikers? And wan't our previous experience with him enough? Somehow, I would not be all that surprised if it happens, though.

Would be pointless. Not to speak that both ends (Milan, Liverpool, hell even Balo) would come out looking pretty stupid. That being said, I could happen, yes.

QUOTE There are shock reports Milan are in negotiations to take Mario Balotelli back from Liverpool.
According to Sky Sport Italia, Coach Sinisa Mihajlovic is open to the idea and met with SuperMario in Florence ahead of Sunday night’s Serie A opener against Fiorentina. It would only be a loan deal free of charge and the Rossoneri could even ask Liverpool to pay a portion of his wages. Mihajlovic already worked with Balotelli when he was assistant manager to Roberto Mancini at Inter. Milan sold Balotelli to Liverpool a year ago for £16m, but he struggled to make an impact and has been told he has no place in the current squad. Balo has been linked with Sampdoria, Bologna, Fiorentina and even Lazio if they qualify for the Champions League, while Sevilla are thought to be interested in Spain. A return to Milan would be a huge shock, especially as he did not leave on good terms with President Silvio Berlusconi. The patron referred to him as “a bad apple” and he was sold partly due to off the field incidents. He scored 30 goals in 54 competitive games for the Rossoneri, providing 12 assists. He also received 20 bookings and a red card. On the other hand, Balotelli always confessed to being a Milan supporter – even when playing for their arch-rivals Inter. He would also relish a return to Italy to be closer to his family following the death of his adoptive father. Milan are finding it difficult to prise Zlatan Ibrahimovic away from Paris Saint-Germain, so Balo could fill the gap until the Swede's contract expires next summer. |

That being said, I could happen, yes. I think Balo and Liverpool would be the ones to look stupid considering they paid us 20m for him and the deal is said to be a free loan. I was personally against selling him last summer, but now, I seriously don't want him, and all this means is that Galliani has failed to get Ibra so Balo is his panic buy, just like Soriano will be since we can't get Witsel. Typical really, and once again it just shows that Galliani never learns. The only acceptable part is that it would be a free loan, so we can send him packing after it ends. However, this would not take away from the fact that we'd be bringing a disrupting influence into our locker rooms at such a delicate moment for our team Just unbelievable at this point... |

Mihajlovoc said yes to Balotelli's return. Now it's up to the management to decide [Sky].
Milan have Liverpool's OK for loaning Balotelli. Also, Liverpool will pay Balotelli's salary. [Gds] -- Of Course (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif) Galliani on Balotelli: "Some love stories never end, they do huge tours and then come back." All I have to say is F@@@CK!! Some good news BREAKING - #SKY: Michael #Agazzi is in England right now to sign with @Boro. Deal done! #acmilan All I'm hoping with regards to this Balo deal is that it's some sort of good will with Raiola for Ibra in January or next summer... |

Im afraid to say, but if we could loan him, without even paying his salary I wouldnt mind to get Balotelli at all. Matri is either way leaving, Niang is injured, so its not like we dont need a striker. If Bacca gets injured, who else we have ? And as Mihajlovic said: Only those who deserve to play will play. So Im sure that if Balotelli plays that will be cos he is doing a good job. I welcome his return and if we achieve to get Ibra too that would be awesome. If not in reality, at least for Football Manager 2016.

Absolutely appalled at Balo coming back, as now looks the case, but there is an upside:
Miha's not p*ssing about re: attitude. Doesn't care how good you are, if your attitude, discipline and work ethic isn't up to scratch, you're ditched. Menez, Cerci, Monto, Mexes are all totally out of favour under this regime at the moment and Balo would simply end up ditched too if he doesn't buck up his ideas. He's a wee c*nt and I loathe him, but it's a loan and we're only paying half his wages. It's completely up to him to apply himself properly and stop p*ssing his career away. If he doesn't give 110%, he simply won't be called up. |

It couldn't get any more depressing than this.

If he doesn't give 110%, he simply won't be called up. Menez and Mexes are both injured btw, there is no indication that either of them are ousted. Mexes was clearly going to be the first choice next to Romagnoli and most media outlets were reporting it as such, now Ely has done more to justify his start which pushed Mexes to 2nd choice for that spot. I think that's only fair considering how Ely has played so far and it should be how things are done, it doesn't mean he's black listed. Also, he's currently injured so that's why he's not called up Menez is also having fitness issues, he was in Monaco just last week because of his back. Again, no indication to show that he's ousted from the squad. Neither is Cerci. Only one that I'm seeing anything that clearly shows a clear rift between coach and player is with Monto, they have a previous history from their time at Fiorentina and Monto's current performances haven't done him any favours with Miha. The fact that he was stripped of his captaincy (even if not officially) says it all. As for your comment in general, for a coach who has been so adamant about not taking any BS, wanting a cancer like Balo in the dressing room for me is completely contradictory to everything he preaches. It is simply just not conducive to the cause you're marching for, simple as that. Balo is a major mistake |

Sky saying Balo will be at Milanello tomorrow for his medical. Liverpool and Milan currently discussing a buyout clause...
