I am sick of us sitting on this Balotelli deal like trying to push
out a turd that won't flush.....

Listen, you _______ , club president, slippery agent, Italian oil tycoon,
olive oil merchant, whatever.

Put down a figure a final figure and will give you a deadline:

You won't lose face since you just beat us and you can have Robinho for half of
Balotelli's new wages---

God Damn, It took Lebron James half this long to go to Miami!!

Mario - Move would be hard
Mario Balotelli has cast doubt over his proposed move to Man City by admitting he gets homesick.

The Inter Milan striker has become embroiled in a long-running transfer saga this summer, with his future dominating the headlines.

City have been tracking the 19-year-old striker for some time, with former Inter boss Robert Mancini unfazed by the youngster's fiery temperament.

A big-money deal was believed to be edging closer earlier this week, with the Blues confident they were about to land their man.

However, talks have stalled and the issue continues to drag on without a clear conclusion in sight.
Alone

Balotelli was thought to be keen on a switch after becoming disillusioned with life at Inter, but he has now revealed that he would find it hard to leave his homeland.

He told Italy's Vanity Fair magazine: "I don't like being alone. I can't imagine being far from my family, in another city."

The fiery youngster has also admitted that he sometimes struggles to control his temper.

He suffered numerous bust-ups with former coach Jose Mourinho last season and accepts that he can fly off the handle at times.

"Sometimes on the field my head leads me astray," he said.

"I have no problems with self control over my body. I've never hurt anyone, never reacted violently.

"I tried to correct my behaviour for two or three weeks but I couldn't take it any more. I got bored.

"I am a boy, not a grown man, but I will become one. I always want to be the centre of attention. That's how I am and others don't like it.

"Even if I don't always behave as I should, this still doesn't explain why so many people have something against me.

"Whatever I do, people always talk about me. They keep at it non-stop. Balotelli here, Balotelli there. Why?"

Mayday Mayday!!!!

[CITYSTEVEDON]

can we just move on to some1 else, why are agents and the player playing us, are they after chelsea or u'd to come in for him.

[ENIAM NAM]

Dzeko anyone...!?

[Crossie]

Young Ibrahimovic!!

Fucking hell he sounds mental. Tie up Milner, bid for Dzeko or Torres, either will be fine, then lets shut up and concentrate on what we have.

[ant london]

I want him more than ever....he sounds fantastic

[mr_nool]

At least he seems to have a good self-perception. That's the first and foremost thing you need to change.

Dzeco to join? I hope we can get him.

[craigmcfc]

If we got both Dzeko and Balotelli then that'd be a great finish to the transfer window. Don't mind either way if Milner is added to that list. Then it'll be an exodus through the back door for half a dozen players or so

I hope we get him but i can't see Wolfsburg letting him leave.

Don't Pjanic.

[Ted Hughes]

My pathetic jokes aside, I still recon we're after Torres first & foremost. If & when that falls through, the deal for Dzeko may not be as dead as it seems.

I agree 100% and i think he's coming. Can't wAit. Im honestly not sure why people are so easily turned off by passion. It's part of the recipe to do something spectacular. I hope we land him soon.

Cheers

That interview with Vanity Fair was conducted in MAY.... the quotes are out of context as well... typical fucking Sky bullshit.

We have his former manager & a former team mate at the club so it's not as if we don't know what we're buying. I think the sheer volume of comments from respected people in the game, saying how good they think this lad could be, makes the gamble very worthwhile indeed. I really hope we sort this today so we can start working with him soon as possible.

[Goaters 103]

Completely lost the will to live with the Balotelli saga.

Wake me up when he's signed or stayed, along with Milner.
