Balotelli has disrespected the Inter shirt, Tevez has only disrespected Man Utd & City.

Also, Tevez has a PROVEN track record that he can be a world class player. Balotelli only has the potential to do that and so far, although improving, he hasn't fulfilled that yet.

Plus, Tevez, or anyone for that matter, has no shit on Balotelli when it comes to off-the-pitch antics.

but balotelli should be our world class player, coming from the primavera and all that shit

also he's italian, not that it matters much, but I don't wanna see more Italian NT conformed just by juventini shit

I'd probably take him back tbh... considering the position we are in regarding attackers.

Trolling from Di Marzio.. AGAIN!

They will let go Ballo for 15, just like they did with Tevez for 25 :eek:blivious:

They actually can. First of all, Tevez was much more expensive than Balotelli and very crucial to their game. Even now, he is their best striker or maybe along with Aguero. Balotelli is nowhere as important.

But the most important reason being that the other players have turned against him. If a player becomes a cancer in locker room, he has to be removed; wasn't the case with Tevez despite all his bitching.

neither mou nor mancini has a good handling on balotelli, one disciplinary approach one fatherly special treatment approach, or whatever styles you want to call them, the rate of another coach succeed at keeping him from making trouble to the team is very low. the very possible scenario would be something like this if we get him back:

first few month, everything is nice it seems mario is finally maturing, everybody gets along, coach praises him, he loves the team, etc etc,
mario then proceed to do something stupid, burn his hourse down and miss training next day because he didn't have a place to get a good night sleep.
so either the club fines him, he doesn't like that, or the club gives him speical treatment, the rest of the guys don't like that,
match day, the racist come out and decide to do some chant to annoy mario, mario gets pissed, further exacerbate his bi-polar teenage mood swing,
mario do something more stupid, probably on field, get red carded or some extended match ban when we need him the most,
due to above scenario, we lack the striker force we need, we are in the middle of the season, milito are tired, pazzini lost his form, and it's impossible to bring in a young player at this point because, one needs time to settle and get assimilated to the team, also the fund that were allocated to get a striker were already spent on mario,
now the team performance takes a hit, the coach gets fired, and we then again decide mario does more harm then good to the team, we sell him at a discount because by now everybody in the world knows he is no good.
rinse and repeat for another mario inter legacy, i can see this shit coming from miles away.

so no i don't want him back not even free, if there is a project that the club is doing, i hope that project doesn't involve any of the back sliding rumors that the club has been linked to recently. not very smart to show your incompetence at managing the club although it does fit the inter management profile imo.

The only coach that can handel him is Alex furgeson and Bielsa. Other coaches dont have the ball (sorry not even JM ) compare to thos trainers character

I always respected Balotelli and thought it was Mourinho, his difficult childhood, Italian supporters. But more and more im compelled to believe this guy has screw loose in his head, schizophrenia... or maybe he is just an idiot.

Anyway as long he doesnt sort his head out he is a liability to any team imo, no matter how talented this guy seems to be.

I'd definitely take him back.. He's better and younger than any of our strikers.

I still dont think it will happen, dont know why but, the news is now is all about Man City wanting to sell him, but the question is now, does he really want to come back to us? I mean, there will probably be Milan on the race for this guy, if that he will definitely chose them ahead of us.

Well, he does seem to have kept ties with Inter, sometimes coming to our matches, sometimes visting etc. He might be open to a return here. Him going to Milan is always a real possibility too, unfortunately.

Balotelli is obviously a potential world-beater and better than anyone out there at his age (21!). 17 goals in 30 games in EPL at 21.. in a team where his competitors are Tevez, Dzeko and Aguero. What's that tell you.

From a footballing perspective there is no one better. His attitude problems are always a big risk, but imo his footballing potential outweighs that by far. I'd say re-signing him is a gamble worth taking, considering his talent. Imagine Balotelli-Coutinho-Guarin-Alvarez-Poli all in the same team O_O

Plus Inter and crazy have always gone together ;) Vieri, Adriano, Ibra, we've always had stars who were troublemakers. Mario might be the most talented one yet, why not take the risk? Though I doubt it's possible financially.

You know, when I read that Mario might be coming back to us I must admit I was happy. He is just the style of striker that we need.
However, I am also scared shitless, because IF he fucks up AGAIN, we can't sell him.

1. He won't go to a small team

2. Clubs that are stupid enough to splash out his big salary and transfer fee are City, and they wont buy him back.

I don't see Real, Barca, Chelsea or United buying Mario.. So I guess IF we buy him, we are stuck with him even if it goes badly

20 million tops, would be a great buy to lead us into a new project. The guy is 21 and bossing the EPL.
