It just shows you how many average footballers especially foreign are stealing a very good living in the premiership.

If the cunt can't gee himself up for a Cup semi Final, what the fucking hell do people think he would do here?
It's not going to happen, his ego wouldn't allow himself to come here.
I'm glad about that , he's fucking shocking.

I can just see Stoke fans taking to Mario as he skulks around the park doing the square root of fuck all waiting for someone to pass it to him. We still had people shouting at Arnie last night calling him lazy despite him busting a gut to get back and cover. Mario would make Arnie look like Akinbyi (work rate not skill) There's no striker I'd rather have less than Mario. If even prefer Adebayor and his mental issues.

I don't want Balotelli, but we do need a high profile arrival before the window closes just to get people's chins back up off the floor after Bojan's injury.

We've had this thread before. Apparently Diouf, Crouch and Walters are better strikers because Mario hasn't played well for half of the current season at a new club. It's a good job our fans don't disregard our own players obvious talents when they go on a bad run... oh wait. Balotelli would be the most talented player at Stoke and the fact that if and when he moves it will be to a superior club than us proves that. Talented? The bloke has no outstanding attribute as a footballer apart from penalty taking and being a lazy fuck. Really.

Not much love for Mario on this thread.
Let me share a couple of alternative thoughts though against what seem common opinion;
Can't score for Liverpool; well he ain't the first new arrival at Liverpool to struggle. And we don't have to look far to find another example. Peter Crouch took 19 games to get going and he took plenty of stick during that time. Of course things got better for him. And look where he ended up! Mario, btw, is on 2 goals from 18 appearances, but hasn't yet scored in 12 league games.
He's just shit. Full stop; 43 appearances, 26 goals. That was his record for his last club Milan. Not at all shabby and the best scoring rate in his career; previously he scored 20 goals in 54 games for Citeh and 20 in 59 for Inter. Also, not too bad. And I remember him leading England a merry dance in the summer - mind you that was against Cahill and Jagielka, so maybe not such a big deal!
Oh, and one final thought, as mentioned earlier. Remember the welcome PO got on this message board. Not very much love! He was also, prior to his arrival, in terrible form, shown bad attitude, and held up to public ridicule. Rejuvenated, under the right management at the right club he thrived. Sound familiar - that last bit, of course hasn't happened yet for Mario. It may never happen, but I'd love to see him here.

Yesterday's semi final appearance is all you need to see if balotelli - his team mates had worn their socks off chasing a result which could see them go to wembley, he comes on and in the most disinterested manner regales the opponents with a goal. If his team mates had any balls they would bash his head into his locker when they go back into the dressing room and the club should send him effing off with immediate effect

He also hasn't been picked because his own manager says he isn't putting in the effort on the training ground!! Sounds like he has a great attitude. Sounds like Fuller...

I don't understand the " talent " people see in this bloke. Hes lazy his attitude stinks and he doesn't score goals. He would bring nothing to the team.

I guess it's based on his performances pre Liverpool and the gamble that he might do better with us. No doubting the talents there he's just throwing his career away.

The Liverpool fans stuck by Crouch though, putting the effort in counts for a lot. Yeah he did well in Italy but don't forget he's a top penalty taker. Goal in the World Cup against us aside he was fucking diabolical there as well. PO had made a previous mistake but he was a quick versatile striker with an eye for goal. Balotelli is a lazy "I'm better than this" arsehole who wouldn't hold the ball up or get in behind defenders like our system requires. It'd be an unmitigated disaster. I'm not even joking when I say I'd rather have Mama leading the line than this waste of space.

Remember though I'm talking about a loan deal to the end of the season. If it works out great. If it doesn't fair enough. Low risk, with potential high reward. Btw - you are right about the different playing styles of PO and Mario. But a year ago, none of those virtues were being highlighted on this forum. Just his bad points; we've swapped one lazy self indulgent player for another was the general thought. Sound familiar?

Just his bad points; we've swapped one lazy self indulgent player for another was the general thought. Sound familiar? I don't think anyone is denying that this lad has at least a modicum of talent. Unfortunately because he's such a petulant self absorbed stroppy lazy cunt you rarely get a glimpse of this. Just look at last night as a prime example, semi final of a cup against Chelsea. He could really have made a name for himself in front of the Liverpool fans, but instead stropped around looking disinterested and generally being shit and not putting a shift in. Odemwingie was never lazy, even if he did make himself look a twat whilst trying to engineer a move. The bonus for us is we got rid of Jones who turned up to 1 in 8 games. You say low risk, this bloke could destroy our dressing room , and he's hardly showing the signs that he could put a shift in when the chips are down, even Arnie can't be accused of that of late, he's defended brilliantly. Even if it were possible getting him, which I don't think it is I would steer clear of this particular mongrel. For me I'd rather pay 5 or 6 mill for that Gestede lad at Blackburn. H

I laughed my arse off when Liverpool signed him, and backed them in the handicap league to be the seasons biggest underperformers, Rodgers is a arrogant cnut who thinks he would have the key to him. Fortunately MH is more grounded and wont touch him with a barge pole.
managerial definition of insanity. Sign ballotelli and expect a different result.

I would take him in a heartbeat, if he paid us £10m to sign.

I agree about his attitude. However, a quick couple of goals in The Boothen would lift him, and we'd have the enigma that is the real Balotelli. He's been a gnat's whisker from bagging quite a few for Liverpool this season. Now some of you fuckwits tell me I can't have an opinion! Me and Partick are the only ones with any sense on here. OS.
