Balotelli to Liverpool
Liverpool apparently will sign Balotelli for 16M quid

Get rid of one nutter sign another, do you think Rodgers knows what he is in for. There must be less risky options around for that price

Re: Balotelli to Liverpool
Questionable signing not because of his talent but because of his behaviour. If he can get his act together, I think he could be a great asset for Liverpool. Time will tell.

Re: Balotelli to Liverpool
More harm than good. They should focus on Lavezzi, Cavani and Falcao. Proven goal scorers and not as eccentric.

Fair point. Such a strange decision though.Jonny Lidon wrote:They have nothing to lose.

Re: Balotelli to Liverpool
Got him for a good price (should the deal go through). A smart move by LFC to put a behaviour clause in his contract as well. If he accepts that and passes his medical he will be in a red shirt this season.
Re: Balotelli to Liverpool
sounds like a lose, lose situation. Milan lost a draw card for only 16 million and liverpool gain a nutter!

Re: Balotelli to Liverpool
Pirlo reckons Balotelli is less of a fruitcake these days. Hope he's right. At only 18m, I think he's well worth the risk. Kind of crazy money considering we're looking to offload Borini for 14m.

Re: Balotelli to Liverpool
Although Balotelli is childish, but I think he will be more mature after all those things. He can improve to be an excellent striker. For Liverpool, it's worth to sign Balotelli in that price.

Re: Balotelli to Liverpool
Don't bond this signing. If we can get 10-15 goals out of him, I'll take it. We need a nutcase to replace Suarez.

Re: Balotelli to Liverpool
fucking immense signing.
Sanchez? Costa? boring. overpriced.
Balotelli? seriously? the only better signing is Ibrahimovic.
Falcao? Cavani? they'll be yesterdays news in no time.
Balotelli has been around 'forever' and he's 24. one of the hottest young players in the world.
Superstar. Liverpool sign an already proven Superstar for the first time in ages!
YNWA Mario Balotelli! Welcome to the greatest club in the world!

It's funnier that united haven't signed any CB's or DM'sEl Capitano wrote:Arsenal gets Sanchez, Chelsea gets Costa, United gets Di Maria.

Someone should've warned Di Maria that he will have Cleverly and Young as team mates.

Re: Balotelli to Liverpool
When did Di Maria sign for United?
Shane Long 12m.. Balotelli 16m. Shrewd business.

Not really considering the trouble he has caused at every club he has been at.

You're right though, with his ability and success if he didn't have a screw loose he would be going for 4 times the amount that has been mooted as a fee.

Re: Balotelli to Liverpool
What trouble is that exactly? I only know (although don't know how much is believable) of his off-field antics, he can't put a bib on and a stupid pirouette back-heel in pre-season with CitehDerek wrote:Not really considering the trouble he has caused at every club he has been at.

Re: Balotelli to Liverpool
I think BR would have had a long, long chat with Balo prior to even coming close to a medical. Pretty sure SG would have been on the phone too. Pretty sure no one has scored more goals in Seria A over the last 18 months than Balo.
This could be a fantastic piece of business. Gives us all sorts of options, and the opposition a lot more to worry about.
Those from Arsenal and Man U laughing... you both signed/signing midfield players for so much more, and yet haven't replaced your club captains who have both left, and happen to be CB. Think the first 2 games of the current season have shown where you should have spent your money. Sign Hummels, or Giorgio Chiellini, then you may have a back line you can start to build a title on. Hell, Agger is for sale if you want him...

Re: Balotelli to Liverpool
Hahahaha, what a load of w@nk. You know BR and Stevie G personally? Could you please tell me how long the long long chat was? Was it just business they discussed or they discuss the recent weather forecast?
Arsenal have 4 points from 2 games, pretty happy with that considering we look far from our sharpest.

Are you sure you're not at your sharpest? Do you know the players and Wenger personally? Maybe a comeback 2-2 draw is as good as Arsenal are this year?
Bit touchy there Derek. Do you honestly feel you don't need a top defender and holding mid to properly challenge for the title instead of the "trophy" of being in the top 4?
Re: Balotelli to Liverpool
Far from out Sharpest, in fact I watched both games and we were poor. We do need a DM and another striker in my opinion. Take a look at last years final table and check out the goals against tally, only Chelsea, Everton and City conceded less. Take away our two horror results (man city and Liverpool) we were extremely solid.
