What's the point of him as a footballer ? Why does Mancini bother with him ? All he does is moan and bitch when someone doesn't see him nor pass to him.He's a terrible player in terms of attitude.
What did he say?Gaz just ripped him in the post match.
That was kind of my point.To be fair Dzeko still looked a bit shite so he didn't do a good job.
So much this. As long as Citeh buy up mercenaries and head cases, like Balotelli, they're not going to take that next step and become world class.I hope he does just well enough to keep City from selling him, but continuing with the antics that get his manager, teammates, and club in a tizzy.
I noticed him 3 times. Once when he squared up to Vidic, once when he feigned injury, and once when he was subbed.
thisCan someone please post what Nev actually said about him.
No silver then?DTguardian daniel taylor
Mario Balotelli leaves Wembley in gold puffa jacket, knee-length denim shorts (diamond hem) and glittering-gold suitcase.
Gaz just ripped him in the post match.
What did he say?
If onlyHe's a prick.
Didn't see that, what's that about?Surprised nobody's mentioned his demeanour when the anthem was being played before the start. He takes attention-seeking to new levels.
He did return right away though, maybe he left for a piss?I like how he immediately left for the changing rooms when he was subbed. He really doesn't care in the slightest, it's embarrassing to the point I'm alway sympathetic towards City.
Although to be fair, if I was taken off for bloody Gareth Barry I might have done the same thing.
Can anyone confirm this story?Sam Robinson twitter
Mario Balotelli took his iPad to the bench with him for Italy against the Faroe Islands and went on it during the game. Legend.
Can anyone confirm this story?
I'm hoping that City's morale will be destroyed by the likes of him and Tevez.No this guy isn't ok. He's an absolute idiot. All this talent and he isn't getting a look in at City because he's a fecking idiot in everything he does.
Look, I get it, he is a bit of a character and it's pretty funny. But as a footballer he's doing everything he shouldn't, and he's fecking up his career. If I was a City fan I'd be livid with him.
Italian mafia investigators to approach Mario Balotelli
Anti-mafia investigators in Italy want to interview Manchester City striker Mario Balotelli over a visit he made to a known mafia hot spot in Naples.
Prosecutors say they want to interview him over possible contacts he may have had unwittingly with the Neapolitan mafia, the Camorra, last year.
The move is part of a wider investigation into money laundering.
There is no suggestion Balotelli has committed any crime. He says he is very relaxed about answering any questions.
The investigators' approach comes after Balotelli was photographed in the company of a couple of known Camorra gangsters as he toured one of the most deprived, violent and crime-ridden parts of Naples.
Earlier this week Balotelli was given a hero's welcome when he visited a prison in Florence with other members of the Italy squad.
Born in Italy to Ghanaian parents - but adopted by an Italian family when he was still a child - he is one of the very few black players to have pulled on the famous blue shirt of the Italian national team.
Throughout his playing career in Italy he was consistently the target of racist abuse by a minority of fans.
He is not the first footballer to mingle with the mob.
Arguably the greatest player of all - the Argentinian, Diego Maradona - was well-known for his allegedly close relationship with several Camorra godfathers during his time playing for Napoli in the 1980s.
