I would have loved to see him being coached by a younger and more reckless SAF with Keane, Schmeichel, Cantona, Bruce and Gaz as teammates.its gotten to the point where I dont dislike him anymore, I just pity him.
I'm pretty sure Balotelli he has a better overall goal rate then Tevez...Some of the stuff he has said today is crazy. Best strike force? They haven't even played together yet properly. Dzeko was a quite poor the other day and Balotelli hasn't exactly said the league a light with his goal scoring.
He has confidence which is good for him, but I'm not sure he can back it up. He is saying that an unproven and untested strikeforce is better than others which have taken years to develop. Crazy!
Also I'm sure City fans are going to love hearing him talk about leaving as soon as he has arrived.
"Do United fans insult me? No, they stop me in the street and say: 'Mario, come to us'," Balotelli added.
He probably has, looking at Wiki, he has 8 goals in 11 games. That is impressive. But you can't say you have the best strike force when some of them haven't even played together. They have great individual players, you can't deny that. But I don't think they have built much chemistry between them.I'm pretty sure Balotelli he has a better overall goal rate then Tevez...
That said, he's still talking rubbish.
But Balotelli said: "Either Berlusconi's made a mistake or he doesn't know Balotelli very well."
Agreed, but his input has been underestimated. He hasn't done badly let's say that.He probably has, looking at Wiki, he has 8 goals in 11 games. That is impressive. But you can't say you have the best strike force when some of them haven't even played together. They have great individual players, you can't deny that. But I don't think they have built much chemistry between them.
Ino having the best strike force isn't just about great players but it is how they gel and work together. City haven';t had time to gel yet. Will be interesting to see how they turn out though at the end of the season.
And adding Adam Johnson and Yaya Toure bombing forward it's quite some talent, on paper.Yes, potentially they have some real quality there. An attack of Silva, Balotelli, Tevez and Dzeko shouldn't be laughed at. That's potentially though, not now.
Good point, especially Yaya, he's getting so far forward these days. Fortunately they have Milner and Barry to decrease that potential.And adding Adam Johnson and Yaya Toure bombing forward it's quite some talent, on paper.
It may be specualtion but the fact that he was already built like a 25 year old when he was officially about 16 is more than enough proof for me. You should talk to the medical staff at football clubs in Europe; they all are in agreement about the age issue of Sub Sahara African players.That's no proof Rams, and quite something to say without a shred of evidence, apart from him being born in Africa.
It's not proof, it's speculation. Then again, most of what is written in football forums is speculation. However, since he doesn't have seem to have grown an inch since his 15 birthday and that he was about 2 foot taller than most players in his age groups when in the juniors there is more than reason to be suspicious about his real age.There's exceptions though, and that's still not proof at all. I thought Rooney looked like a 30 year old when he was 17...Either that means he looks older then is, or...he is African?
Good point, it's just you sounded very sure of it.It's not proof, it's speculation. Then again, most of what is written in football forums is speculation.
He could well be older, but I still can't see him being African as enough really to make that comment. I have plenty of friends who are massive for their ages, one kid at 14, Christian, was 6ft, my other friend Dannie was 6, 2 at 15, his brother at 16 was 6,4.....They were all built like brick shit houses, I couldn't understand how they were so big.However, since he doesn't have seem to have grown an inch since his 15 birthday and that he was about 2 foot taller than most players in his age groups when in the juniors there is more than reason to be suspicious about his real age.
The reverse of the Adu-syndrome?I know this guy, he's 20, but I swear he looks only 13!
Can't believe you guys take him seriously. Half the time what he says is with tongue firmly in cheek. He's a wind-up merchant on and off the field.Just read his comments about Rooney, and other delusional outbursts. This guy is basically what the term facepalm was invented for
Maybe if they drop Barry, place Toure deeper and place Silva in the hole.He's a real wild one.
Will they ever even play Balotelli, Dzeko and Tevez all in the same team?
Directing a lot of DP scenes in your freetime, Chief?Maybe if they drop Barry, place Toure deeper and place Silva in the hole.
It's such a lazy stereotype. And the casual nature it gets flung at just about every young black footballer around (Lukaku, Martins, Adu, you name it) who is physically strong from a young age, I can't see it as anything other than plain racist profiling.There's exceptions though, and that's still not proof at all. I thought Rooney looked like a 30 year old when he was 17...Either that means he looks older then is, or...he is African?
Was looking forward to Vidic vs Balotelli.
Thanks for that mateJust read his comments about Rooney, and other delusional outbursts. This guy is basically what the term facepalm was invented for
