Interesting that his reputation as a player isn't exactly going down, but his price tag is: £24m --> £19m -->16m0

I'm sure milan got him for £10mPowell Is Pleasant said:Interesting that his reputation as a player isn't exactly going down, but his price tag is: £24m --> £19m -->16m

"Why always me?" and "why always us?"
Should be a perfect fit.16 -
He doesn't stay for long at any club.0

To be honest, for comedy value it would have been great fun if he and Suarez had been at the same club at the same time... with Suarez's insistence that 'negro' is perfectly acceptable in Uruguay and Balotelli being more incendiary than a box of fireworks it would not be long before something went incredibly wrong...1

An interesting scenario there mate for sure he would have got Balotelli to bite! :-00

I'll say this for Brendan Rodgers, he does like a challenge. Could be a Harry / Di Canio type master stoke signing but If it goes wrong there won't be any half measures it could completely ruin the dressing room morale and bring more troubled times on the Scousers:-00

- This is where I got that figure from.0 -
He's a good player that isn't consistent enough to be great.2

I love Mario brings a real difference to the premier league0

A pointless comparison when you ignore wages.Callumcafc said:0 -
Over two summers and Everton only felt they needed one forward. I bet it's a different story when it comes to the wages.Callumcafc said:0 -
Liverpool also spent £35m on Carroll2

I really struggle to understand how Balotelli fits in with Rogers' brand of football.
Ignoring Suarez's goalscoring ability, he's swapped someone who will run and run, hassle, close down, run across and up and down the line and be a headache to the opposition for 90 minutes. For someone who is a luxury player and who will eventually end up rubbing his team mates the wrong way.
Last night Balotelli, I believe, did not touch the ball once in the opposition's penalty box. Good work if you can get it for the money he's on!0 -
They need vetokele.
£50m and we can talk

Balotelli was poor against Basel but that was not just down to him, their midfield was shocking against modest opponents.Addick Addict said:I really struggle to understand how Balotelli fits in with Rogers' brand of football.

Agree though that it has not panned out so far.0 -

Put Balotelli in the Arsenal team who create chances he will score so many goals.
Liverpool are creating nothing at the moment so why is everyone blaming Balotelli?
He scored a goal from nowhere in their last CL game.
He is a quality player, surrounded by average players and the odd good one.0 -
Every player misses open goals so there's no point highlighting his glaring miss.
It was interesting to hear 'arry bemoan Q P R switching off for the Dunne own goal and Rogers claim that the really good players "switch on" when the ball goes dead.
However, Balotelli is in "self reflection" mode with his back to the action when the kick is taken by Sterling and only turns round when he hears the crowd.
Would Suarez, Lineker, Owen, Ronaldo etc etc react in the same way? Or shouldn't be expect a player of his "calibre" to have to concentrate for 90 plus minutes?0 -
All players should concentrate for 90 mins.0

Balotelli never looked in the game at all yesterday, misses aside. If he wasn't such a "character" off the field I honestly don't think people would rate him as highly as they do.1
-
No better than Gervinho, just a less laughable barnet2
-
He's a high quality striker but he just might not be up for it. Only 24 years old so his best years may be in front of him. Or...he could fade away into nothingness because he can't be bothered.2

He seems a very selfish player, few times yesterday when Liverpool had men over in attack but he chose to have a shot every time, ok now and again he'll get a wonder goal but mostly not.
Think the commentator yesterday said than in all his time in the Premier League he only had one assist.0 -

Hes desperate for a goal so perhaps just lashing out stupidly when chances become available instead of looking for the pass.
Reckon when in a big goal drought it doesnt really give forwards the best logical frame of mind.
If they stick with him...he might come good but wouldnt count on it.0 -
I do not buy into this "there's a good player in there somewhere" or "on his day" nonsense.
He is toilet, Lambert must be scratching his head.4 -
Tbf that asist did win the league.iaitch said:He seems a very selfish player, few times yesterday when Liverpool had men over in attack but he chose to have a shot every time, ok now and again he'll get a wonder goal but mostly not.

All these saying he is lazy. I've said before but it's just his style of play. But this being England you are only considered to be trying if you run around a lot, stick a boot in and show a bit of passion.

A bit like Suarez, Ronaldo or Messi because they don't work either do they?colthe3rd said:

So, if he's not scored any goals and has been given absolution from working for the benefit of the team, what exactly has he done to earn that million or so quid he has pocketed so far this season?

Completely agree with those that say if he didn't have such a ridiculous personality he would be nowhere near as big as he is now.
