www.stokecityfc.com/page/NewsDetail/0,,10310~2541194,00.html just realised he is actually on trial with us and played in the reserves and it wasnt just a wind up. ;D Has anyone seen him play? is he any good?

According to Dave Kevan he is a bright prospect, just in need of some competitive match experience in England. What's more interesting (to me anyway) is that Jimmy Phillips played against us. I remember the raving reviews this lad had whilst with us, with many really believing he could be the best thing to come from Stoke since Sir Stan  How wrong can you be..  |

the name is a bit of an oxy-moron though, a bit like Adolf Mandella or Martin-Luther Terreblanche.....

Hypothetically speaking, say if we signed him and he ended up being as mental as his bigger brother, how do you think TP would cope? I reckon even if he was our best striker by 100 miles, Pulis would get rid ASAP if Balotelli didn't tow the party line.

As a personality I think Balotelli's more daft than anything, so Pulis could decide to make a special case for him, as he has for Fuller at times. Enoch's apparent showboating would be the thing that would turn Pulis off. |

he's nothing special to be honest! i saw him play for a stoke trialist team against an australian under 15 side and he did nothing!
If a 19 year old cant stand out in a game against 15 year old boys then he's way off!

Interesting. If he follows in the footsteps of his brother then we have some player on our hands. If he is anything like Mario...I suggest our transfer team sort something out pretty swiftly.

From Wikipedia
Mario Balotelli was born in Palermo, Sicily, to Ghanaian immigrants Thomas and Rose Barwuah. The family moved to Bagnolo Mella in the province of Brescia, Lombardy, shortly after he was born.[6] As an infant, he had life-threatening complications with his intestines which led to a series of operations, although his condition had improved by 1992. Mario's health problems and the family's cramped living conditions meant the Barwuahs decided to ask for the help of social services who recommended that he be fostered

It's negative I know, but you have to wonder why he'd be training with us if he was any good. Surely Citeh (along with Napoli/Milan etc) have looked at him and thought 'Nah...'

That's why he's training with us isn't it? I know we're a decent team mate, but we're not quite Man city standard....yet. |
