Anyone seen much of Ballotelli at Inter, seems a bidding war might be on the cards but I am not sure I have ever seen him play.
Immensely gifted player. I remember watching him in his first few games for Inter as a 16/17 year old, he looked as good a player at that age that I've seen. Has good pace when he wants to, very strong, tall, excellent touch, great shooting and passing, great set piece taker and can play left, right, up front with a partner or on his own up front. His attitude his borderline disgraceful, but I think his problem has just escalated in Italy to the point where he doesn't even care anymore. If City sign him, he could easily become a superstar of the league, Serie A doesn't really suit him, especially when they play him as a winger, but he would suit England really well if he could just add work rate to his game.
He could really be a top player, one of the world's best, but he needs to dedicate himself and he needs dedication from a club. Could become a player of Henry's level in England with the arsenal of attributes he has at his disposal, and I don't think it will be too hard to tap into his potential, especially as Mancini and Mario have a great relationship, at least I thought they did.
