Mario Balotelli

We need mario to win???? The team/club has shown they can without him last season on more then one occasion. Mario is not the only talented forward/striker out there. Pretty sure branca can find one without mario's issues.

Did I say we need Mario to win? Wtf?

Mario improves the quality of this team, that's my point. Selling him for 35 million which none of us will ever have doesn't make sense to me unless of course you're a hater.

after all the bullshit he pulled off last season and getting forzen out of the squad on many occasions and with all the negativity towards him from fans,media,club he still attracks offers of 30m+, i dont see these offers going away even if he stays another season and keeps on doing this bullshit, i dont think we should be in a hurry to let the guy go, the guys still has 3 years left on his contract its not like his contract expires next season

From your words its quite clearly implied that we need mario to win. Mario adds quality to the team but question is whether other expects he also brings to the table outweighs those elements. For those of us who are in favor of selling him , his other antics outweighs his contribution as a player. We believe we can get the money and replace him with another player who will also contribute and help inter win without the added problems. Some also feel that now is when we can get the best price for him since he will walk out of the club when his deal expires in 3 years.

Whoever wants to sell Balotelli doesn't care about Inter playing good football and winning, they care more about players who will 'have heart' and celebrate and smile to the fans...so gay..

Hmmm,

Maradona, bigest transfer fee at that time
Ronaldo, bigest transfer fee of that time
C.Ronaldo, bigest transfer fee of his time

And in this world where Kolarov and Bale are 20 mil euros, where Di Maria is 25 milions we can't sell our brightest talent for 30 milions, we just can't. If we can get 30 milions for him now, even he hand't played one single season like regular starter imagine how much we can get for him after 2-3 seasons on highest level.

Rooney to Man Utd for 33 milion euros with 18 years from Everton, we aren't Everton my friend.

"doesnt care about good football and winning" and "we need Mario to win" is 2 very different things...I'm not sure how you got that from what I said.

He's a young player and he's going through a learning curve right now. Like we saw last season, his antics didn't disrupt anything in the locker room and he actually has a lot of support from players and those around him.

It's only the haters who want him gone, every other team is DREAMING they wake up one day and see "ENGLISH CLUB FC signs striker Mario Balotelli".

Yeah each and every young player needs to throw his clubs shirt and wear his clubs most hated opponents shirt. You just can't learn without doing it.

Mario's actions/attitude is totally different from the normal young player going through his development.

Yeah I am sure his team mates where thrilled they had to answer questions about mario's behaviour during press conferences. Zanetti and materrazi's words clearly indicated they had had enough and he needs to grow up.

what I'm sure it's that if we sell him, we will get another player with the same antics, we're inter my friends, we need controversy

Anyone saying we can get Balo's replacement with that much money needs to justify and declare what they are smoking. There is no 20-21 year old that talented without carrying the baggage of an attitude.

sad part is we will prob try to sign kuyt for 18m as a replacement..... what a mercato

Bad news for Mario fan boys: Inter management decided to sell Mario not now, but before the end of the season. Very easy to figure it out yourselves. Only the price is the matter now.

damn we are about to sell one of our best rising starts and possibly replace him with kuyt wtf ????

I guess winning the treble served no purpose. We will never build a dynasty, like Hasan said we're Everton when they cashed in on Rooney.

Dirk Kuyt lol

Why not Tiribocchi or Bojinov? They have great attitudes, cheaper and probably better than Kuyt and will not cause any media circus.

Who the fuck are you comparing Mike ?

Rooney who is known worldwide to be one of the very few forwards who work their ass off during the games (and I can bet also during the trainings to improve) to Balotelli who doesn't give a shit ?

You compare a perfect attitude of a guy who works, works, works, to a guy who doesn't give a shit ?

Is it a comedy central week ?

If you all want to compare something, compare guys who have:

- similar personality to Balotelli,
- similar tallent
- young

The first coming to mind was Cassano, and who is one of the few who can be considered a very good match. Cassano was young, was known for having enourmous tallent, but with shitty attitude, and also with very, very low workrate. Bought for 30 mln, and then sold to Real Madrid couple years later for... wait for it... 5 mln, just because they hoped "he will grow up".

Wait. I think it sounds familiar... shit. Can't get hold onto it, but I'm sure I already heard that somewhere recently !!!

That's ^^^ for people, who think that if we hold onto Balotelli for another 10 years, there will still be clubs who will pay 30mln+ for him. Well, ok !

BrAD said:

Luka, I'm utterly shocked by you how you voted in this poll

I voted "only at the right price" but too me that's significantly more than the 30mil being offered for him. At that price, I'd rather keep him for at least another season.

Obviously I wouldn't sell him for nothing.

What I mean is that if we can squeze the most out of Man clubs, go for it. But if we can't and we will be left with the offer lower of our demands I would still sell him. To me this guy is a disaster for any team waiting to happen. Like I've said many times, last season it was mirracle we were able to win the trebble, and mirracles don't happen too often in life.

Hasan said:

What we can get for keeping him, lets say three years?

- tones of goals and assists
- guy for commercials
- marketing, he sells newspapers
- when he becomes best Italian player and standard in NT his price will be huge considering his age

What we can lose if he stays three years?

- nothing;

But don't feel bad. There are many like you who think that building a successfull football team is pretty easy and rely on just couple of factors.

I bet you're one of those who thinks, if we had 25 players with tallent like Balotelli, but at the same time attitude like him, we would be rulling the world for another 10 years, right ? Who gives a shit if you are a brat, and can't think of anything that has to do with the team but yourself, as long as you have lots of tallent. Ain't football an individual sport ? Those who said it is a team sport LIED, don't believe them ! Right ?



Wrong.


ps. I just can't wait to tell you all "I told you so" in like 5 years. Even if I will be living on a streets, I will sell my blood, go to the internet cafe, and post this one message here.

GdS reports that Inter have decided to sell Balotelli and they only give him a 20% chance of staying, 70% chance he'll go to one of the Manchester clubs and 10% to others.

a few years is a little to much for me, id say half a year to see if he shows any development. if he does then we should keep him most definately.

btw luka, mario does give a shit, he just shows it in a different way. before bastardizing him let him have a go with big ben, and see the outcome. rooney was no angel himself coming out of merseyside. niether was ronaldo when he arrived from sporting. you keep on repeating over and over and over about a certain cassano, but fail to look at the misfits who make it big....

HOW... exactly ?

Like WHO... for example ?

nono: don't forget that he should fit the criteria)

- young,
- big tallent,
- certain personality (including lack of proffesionalism)
- low workrate,
- the belief that he doesn't need to work to grow; just play games

well if thats the case you cant really use cassano cause he doesnt fit the "criteria"........cassano went abroad while we are wanting mario to stay at home. plus lets not get into the cassano-capello relationship.

also you think ronaldo wasnt like that when he arrived. i suggest you have a chat with anyone who follows manure and ask them about how much of a punk he was when he first came, the only difference being that they handled the media much better then us. so it wasnt made to look like a national disaster.

What ?

Where do you see this ^^^ "factor" in the list I've shown you ?

Are we here talking on some serious intelectual level, or not ?

Ronaldo is where he is today BECAUSE HE WORKED HARD TO BECOME THE BEST. Nobody is denying he was a spoiled sissy once, but he WORKED. That's the key - WORK. Ibrahimovic, Jordan all are big egos with some serious narcistic issues, but they all are HARDWORKERS who knew that work is the key.

Ronaldo said many times, that you need to work every day, and give your all to become one of the best. You will find many interviews where he says stuff like:

"Every day I work to improve myself."

Now find me an interview like that from the idiot ? Can't ? It's get even better. Instead of saying stuff like that he needs to work hard and be patient to win a spot in first team (a phrase you will hear from 99% of normal young players), all I hear is that he wants to play more, and last year he even threatned that if he won't play he wants to leave (the shit with his brother last december/january).

Slight difference ?

ps. No, Ronaldo doesn't fit the criteria, sorry.

why must i obey by your list, when i have my own. yes ronaldo did improve, which was exactly my point. you must have lost the plot through all the intelectualness.......

at first spoilt brat......later on hard worker, see the connetation here or must i break it up for you further. im sure you see the resemblence. plus look at were he is now, the most expensive player in the world. hopefully this is the path mario takes too.

let me put it to you this way then, if mario makes it he will be worh 100mill easy, if he dosent we might loose 10 mill on him. which would you rather want, loose 10 mill or loose around 80mill by selling him then him becoming a success.

anyway no use to argue this further as niether of us will change our points of view....
