I see we've been linked with him on 6 towns radio , what are peoples thoughts on this ??i love him as a player but attitudes all wrong for me , with the good atmosphere we have in the camp at the min I wouldn't want to see him come in and upset the apple cart .

I doubt we'll be wanting HIM at Stoke!

Their flimsy reasoning seems to be "because he's Arnie's mate" Looks like like pure hit bait nonsense It is hard to see who we might try and use Assaidi's loan spot on if the Lennon thing doesn't happen when you go through the potentially available players at top 6 teams - but it'd be beyond staggering if it was Balotelli.

Doubt there's anything in it.
However he doesn't suit Liverpools style of play and would suit us more, fantastic talent and I'd love him here.

Never happen in a month of Sundays. What is a month of Sundays? 30 Sundays, 31? So 30 or 31 weeks weeks maybe? Or is it a month of continual days of sunshine? If the latter then yes, unless it's 1976, never going to happen!

No thanks.
Not the player we need to push us on.

Although it a non-starter I would love him here. We would be good for him and him for us. I think he would click with the fans. Talented footballer none the less. Imagine the meltdown on here of him and Arnie together, Oh it would be special

Imagine the meltdown on here of him and Arnie together, Oh it would be special I'm with you. Can't see it happening - but if he came maybe Stoke under Hughes is the place that would bring out the best of him. Be fun finding out.

I'd love him, perfect to lead our line, suited to our counter attacking football especially away from home, Liverpool haven't got the midfield quality that we have to feed him, (in terms of current form) he'd be the new Fuller here.

I remember about 4 years ago he said he was a better player than Messi. The guy is certainly a character and rather delusional!
He would think hes way too big for us so wouldnt put in the work ethic that is required.
So many things could go wrong with this. But would be a fun ride I suppose

Well, you'd have to think he's available if anyone wants him.
And can't see anyone on the level up from us being in for him.
Hughes is attracted by the idea of resurrecting wayward types - but I can't see even him wanting a bar of Mario, but you never know

It would make a change from bringing in past it strikers like Owen and Eidur Gudjohnsen.

If he clicks he fires us up the table, if he doesn't he goes back to Pool. Don't know why I think its even a possibility.

I genuinely think it could be a possibility for any mid-ranking Premier team who wanted to take the loan gamble. I think he's at the stage now where it's probably going to be a move to somewhere like Turkey or the Gulf, such is the way he's burnt his bridges at the top clubs in Italy and England, and the baggage and salary demands he brings

He could come and net us double figures between now and May. Or he could come and be a lazyarsed tosspot. Don't really see us finding out either way though.

Love Balotelli as a character but as a player he is abismal. He doesn't work hard enough in games and relies on trying to produce a piece of magic.

We all know his skill and brains are in his feet. On loan, I cant see past a win win situation. If we were honoured to get him. Hughes would just need to book himself a holiday for may.

It would be a good signing in th sense of getting us at the "big table" and getting our name out there around the world as everyone knows about him.

No ta.

1 word "wages" no chance of it happening. He's reportedly "only" on £80k-a-week. It'd be manageable on loan as you'd think any club would only pay a percentage. I just don't think many clubs would touch him with a barge pole.

Undoubtedly talented,but way too static imho.We need someone who'll be prepared to make the selfless off-the-ball runs that take defenders with them to create space for Bojan and Arnie to wreak havoc in.Has the strength and potential to be great with the ball at his feet in the way Ric was,but doesn't appear remotely interested in doing the thankless stuff that also comes with the role.
