On Mario Balotelli.

Sorry if posted elsewhere, hard to find things here.

Anyway, this is total rot. I mean it is true Balotelli is mad and probably a bit of a bad apple, but I'm sure this club signed loose cannon and well-known trouble maker and 'bad apple' Cassano?

Correct me if I'm wrong.

I hate the BS football folk come out with when it's convenient to do so.

Cassano and Balotelli can't be compared. Balo is a whole new level to crazy.

Agreed.

Best thing to do is ignore everything Berlusconi and Galliani say. They'll say anything and everything, that way when they say 100 things that don't happen, they can praise themselves when 1 thing they say does happen. Couldn't care less about this pair anymore

Seems hypocritical, but just on the surface of it all. Given our recent history on the market, I interpret his comment as a statement directed to Sheikh Mansour and his entourage that Balo's price tag is way exaggerated considering his attitude. City wont dwell long on Balo, they will look to a more stable alternative. Despite being a player of GREAT potential, yet is not a professional any club could take the risk on.

It is simply a tactic IMHO, otherwise Berlusconi has lost his marbles completely.

Cassano was EVERY inch a 'bad apple' though.

Whether we're talking as rotten as Balo is not relevant.
