Mario Balotelli

[Baldrick]

Sorry but its not the fans job to understand mario's situation. Its mario's job to act like a profesional, he didn't do it that night and put his team in difficulties due to it. If he is unhappy with pandev starting he can discuss it with mou after the game, whatever his frustrations he has a duty towards his teammates,club and fans to always act in a profesional manner.

100% true.....
Inter is professional club and that was semi final match in Champions League.He must act like professional. If he is playing 2 minutes.he must play that 2 minutes with all his heart for Inter.

BTW, while we're at the "sentimentals", if I had an avatar of Balotelli at the same time as being inter supporter, some of my friends (which are juBe and Milan fans) would literally laugh their ass off, and mock me for it forever (even if I still wanted him to stay, which would have nothing to do with it). The guy is pissing on me (through the team I support with all my heart) and I'm using his avatar. That would be hilarious stuff for them, I guarantee.

It would be like JuBe supporter having Inzaghii, or Zambrotta avatar.

ps. I'm not telling anybody what to do. Just saying "what if".

 

[vitomins]

It's like talking to the wall.

Let others explain to you the booing part.

I'll just say one more thing: We won CL this year with deffensive TEAMPLAY, with everybody (starting from Lucio, on Milito ending) doing their all. And this is why Pandev played so much and Balotelli sat on his ass. We won CL by playing very effective (in deffense) football, not by imitiating Barca style.

And yet, here is Vito, who Starts Pandev/Balotelli comparisons again, and where is the part of Pandev doing 3x times what Balotelli did (which was vital for our style of play) ? Nowhere. Why would it be important ? After all, it is the main reason Pandev played, and not Balotelli, it was said so many times, but hey, how important can that be ?

That is the TRUTH, but you guys don't like to listen to it, even though it was said MANY TIMES, and IN THE END it was one of main reasons we won CL (by great deffensive play, which Balotelli wouldn't be able to do for his life).

ps. If you want to know why we needed BOTH Sammy and Goran to "put the effort" then sign up for some coaching classes. You will know why.


Yes ofcourse. Why think, and use that little thing called brain, when we can go the easy way, right ?

Sentimental bullshit. I've stated numerous times, that it's not the main reason I want him out.

Vital to our success huh?? Check out how we did with him in the league:

Record without Pandev: 14-3-2 = 74% win percentage
Record with Pandev: 10-7-2 = 53% win percentage

Pandev was so vital to our success that we won less with him on the team in the league haha


Record without Balotelli: 7-3-2 = 58% win percentage
Record with Balotelli: 17-7-2 = 65% win percentage

If you really care what a fuckin Juve or Milan supporter thinks of you, you have a problem lol

You got me.

10 points for deduction skills. Sherlock should be very afraid for his future movies.

You're trying so hard, and yet still can't fugure it out ?

The fact that it was Pandev that was 3x more important to our ultimate CL success instead of this brainless idiot is just killing you doesn't it ?

I feel for you. I really, really do.

 

[La Bling]

No one is thinking about selling Rooney. After that shot that flew off target, the fans booed even louder, and Balo responded with a gesture to the crowd. In both cases, there is some controversy, but the solution is never to just sell the kid.

Also, does anyone have a stat on how much Balotelli runs per match? I know UEFA keeps track of that. It'd be pretty useful in this argument.

Without Balotelli against Rubin Kazan, we would not have won the match...I failed to see any match in CL that was won basically by Pandev alone. However, I did see a few matches where a different player instead of Pandev would have been a better option. You can sit here and praise his defensive work in the CL Final, but Pandev's overall performance in that game was terrible, to me he was by far the worst player on the field for us in that match. Pandev contributed more solely because he was given more minutes. Balotelli would have contributed less effort, but I can guarantee he would have scored some goals if he was given the same minutes Pandev had in the Champions League.


The fact that we won more in the Serie A WITHOUT Pandev and also won more in the Serie A WITH Balotelli glaring you in the face really eats at you doesn't. The thought that a "brainless idiot" was more important to the team in the Serie A than Pandev was must be killing you...

I feel sorry for you too, Luka...

No it doesn't.

It just shows that you have no clue, no idea whatsoever what I'm talking about, and I won't waste anymore of my time.

Sorry Luka, but with 0 goals and 0 assists in Champions League as a striker, I just do not see how he is vital. If he made some amazing defensive tackles or goal line clearances then I could understand how his defensive work was vital, but simply tracking back with your man, although I agree and think it is very important, is not VITAL.

 

[BigBoss]

FO, this topic becomes a kind of religion. Half of peoples believe in the future of Mario and the risk of keeping him and another half does not believe. We will have endless discussion here.

 

[maxw]

Yes, this is EXACTLY like reading the posts of people arguing about if God exists or not. No one can prove their claims and neither part will ever be able to convince the other.

I want him to stay though

The most important final matches were won with Pandev in our team, Balotelli wouldn't help and spit on our club. I'm not a Pandev fanboy btw, i can't say the same about you and Balotelli cuz you are too biased.

 

[Stefan]

Man city made a €25 million offer, it was rejected. Raiola also met with them to discuss personal terms.

Mario left his footprint on the match against Rubin Kazan, a spectacular assist and then an unthinkable goal in a match that was a must win for us. Pandev never left his mark on a CL game, like he did in the first couple Serie A games. In fact, Pandev wouldn't even have matches to play in those final rounds if we were without Balotelli against Rubin. I am not biased at all, I just do not see how Pandev was VITAL to our success. Sneijder yes, Milito yes, Zanetti yes, even Eto'o yes, but I do not see how Pandev was necessary. We may have lost a bit of effort by using Balotelli instead, but we would have gained a lot more. Pandev blew so many chances in the final few games...I honestly cannot see how anyone can dispute this...

I agree on that, Pandev wasted a LOT of chances, but i'll never forget that he was there playing when Balo wasn't, if we didn't have Pandev, then who would have been playing as winger? It's not even his natural position, he did what he could. I admit Balo is great, i'm mixed on him staying/leaving because of what he has done to us. I don't even know if he will give his 100% in the future. It's a huge gamble, imagine he does the same next season.

 

[minterke]

Please dont even talk about Pandev in the same sentence as Balotelli in terms of a footballer. Eto'o vs Balotelli is a more fair comparison.

yes pandev is clearly better

 

[minterke]

yes pandev is clearly better

Clearly better than who? Cruz left last summer so you must be a bit confused...you can't possibly be talking about Balotelli.

A 19 year 4th choice striker but worth more than Pandev will ever be worth.

I feel bad for Vito who dug up all those stats to try and educate people here..

 

[Baldrick]

It doesn't matter who is better ...Balotelli or Pandev....CL was won with two of them ..early stages with Balotelli's help and final stages with Pandev's help.The think is that we won the treble which is fantastic success and both of them helped a lot.I am sick and tired of Pandev-Balotelli discusion and comparation.I just want Balotelli to respect Inter as a team and as a club ,nothing else..If he can't do it..Then he should leave..Thats it.... simple as that....

 

[M.Adnan]

Can't believe what I'm reading here. Comparing Pandev to Balotelli IS laughable. There is a reason why the treble winning coach keeps playing Pandev. And there's a reason why he succeeded in doing that.

Sorry Luka, but with 0 goals and 0 assists in Champions League as a striker, I just do not see how he is vital. If he made some amazing defensive tackles or goal line clearances then I could understand how his defensive work was vital, but simply tracking back with your man, although I agree and think it is very important, is not VITAL.

Actually, it is vital.

It is vital when your coach is Jose Mourinho. THIS is how Mourinho plays. THIS is how we won the treble.

We won the treble by having players eating the grass of the pitch no matter how tired they are.

I can't believe I'm actually explaining the obvious here. This is so freaking obvious.
