Thomaso Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 So what exactly has he done? Not to mention his constant run ins with Mancini at City - Firing air pistols in a Milan piazza.

Ross992 Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 It seems a silly thing to say but in todays market at ?16M it's a relativly "low risk" signing. Bags of potential and if they get his head right and he bangs them in still young enough for sell on value. Think it's less than what they paid for Aquilani! :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fabienleclerq Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 If Rodgers sorts his attitude he could be the best striker around. Whether he can or not is the question, I think despite complaining about it he misses the attention he got in England. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diadora Van Basten Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 A C Milan finished in a very low position for them and Italy didn't make it out of the group stages.

chester copperpot Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 I see the anti Scouse brigade are out in fashion, I'm just surprised a couple more haven't popped their heids in, but it's early days yet! FWIW, I think on the whole, Rogers has spunked the Suarez cash over the summer and we will have a bad season, but hey just my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think everyone goes on about his goals at all. He's never been prolific but his Milan record is very good when you consider how bad they are right now. ?16m for a player of his ability is great value in today's market.

ArcticJambo Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 Mario, where's you head at? He's an emotional footballer. Has the potential to be a very good player but will he embrace Rogers' pressing system, an can he press without getting that silly yellow. If he can control his emotions and Rogers can check his ego then there is a good chance he'll be a right positive for them. He certainly has more pace than Lambert, and might actuallly be just as good in the pen taking stakes, which account for a decent percentage of his goals. However it works out, he'll provide 'entertainment' so from me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJGJ Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 I think below says it all....every week fingers wil be crossed that no news is good news..........when he wants to play he is a very good player but when not .............. Liverpool signing Mario Balotelli as replacement for Luis Suarez like jumping out of the frying pan and into the fire Liverpool have effectively brought the circus back to town. One hopes it is more like the greatest show on earth than send in the clown Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Groot Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 I'm sorry but anyone who saw him in a Milan shirt the past 18 months will know that's a fantastic signing, come the end of the season it may even be classed as bargain of the season. I'm ******* gutted as I think he's great but can't stand the Micky Mousers Shudder to think how Milan will do this season however Edit - one point not note he's not a big name signing who will bring disharmony to the dressing room, he's a prankster but you'll not find many people he's played with who will dislike him (issues with Inter fans aside but that was due to him being a Milan fan) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rudolf's Mate Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 Not to mention his constant run ins with Mancini at City - When all the crap was going on with Mancini I was firmly of the opinion that MB should be booted from the City team. I've not changed my mind on that however I have changed my mind on Mancini. Firing air pistols in a Milan piazza. Really silly thing to do. No excuse. Photographed in company of Mafia mobsters. Don't think anyone can fault him for this one. Would you tell Mafioso you wouldn't have a picture taken with them? Throwing darts at a youth player on training ground. Yep, another silly one! Set his house on fire by setting off a fire work inside. it's his house at the end of the day. Announces he walks around with ?5k "because I'm rich" Etc. Etc. There are people with money who do charity work and there are people like Balotelli who go that extra mile. Yes he's loaded and flaunts it however he's earned it and whilst some of his actions/comments are cringe worthy, a lot of what he does is amusing. I actually disliked the guy when he was at City however the more I get to know about him the more I like him. IMO he has the potential to eclipse Suarez however I'm not convinced his head will let him. No doubt he'll do something which'll see this post come back to bite me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
