When you read some of the stories about Balotelli, about his background and his reaction to 'authority', you know there's a right and wrong way to do things. As I said, Mancini lost it and handled it in the wrong way, it doesn't matter how many times he's tried other approaches, the one he used in the LA friendly (of all occasions) shouldn't be used until Mario is mature enough. You won't convince me otherwise. My fingers are firmly in my ears!

lol end of thread lol.

Agreed, apparantley it were PSG or Chelsea, would of easily benefited more at Chelsea. PSG in the money now though after being bought by a Qatari group in May.

Should have waited for Juve/Inter/Milan/Roma to come in for him.

Do you not reckon he'd suit a different league then Rob, i.e. La Liga or Premier League?

Stoke 1-0 up on Hajduk Split

Regarding Stoke, I know Talksport are deliberately stupid to generate calls, but Alvin Martin claiming that Stoke could give Barcelona a good game because of their style of play earlier, I nearly choked.

Dunno about England. He plays the game in a way that doesn't really suit over here. He slows things down, dictates the pace, but he sort of requires the free roaming role to do so. He'd suit Spain and possibly France, but Italy suits him really well. Germany could suit him in an odd way, but Bayern don't need him. He should stay at Palermo for a year, every big club chops and changes, he should play the waiting game instead of stepping down to PSG.

Is he basing that on Barça drawing with Hadjuk Split at the weekend? I really hope he is.
Watch out for Thiago this season
