Would you sell balo?

Postby Pretty Boy Lee » Tue Oct 16, 2012 2:01 pm

For 30m?

I'm finding myself less and less interested in seeing him play and think he's at a point where if he were going to become a world great he'd have some level of consistency or at least effort.

Love the stories, but on the pitch he bores me.

Am I the only one?

Yes, his form will return when he is in an AC Milan shirt his time with us sadly and I mean sadly is to stop start, for me we need Higuain, Falcao types, Mancini had us pressing last season from the front. Balo does not have the fire in his belly to do that for us, He can torment Pique for the Italians, as we saw in the Euro's and be a threat. For us he is marked by big and daft defenders and runs the risk of a red card in almost every game I see him. Time to accept his time is up, I hope he proves me wrong. My son loves him for his attitude I depair with him for his attitude, suppose that is an age thing. Calmness on a last min penalty you cannot buy, Ready to kill someone during the game for the slightest injustice or tackle. I think he owes us he acts like we owe him something for being here.

Yes, he's not made for the physical nature of the Prem and looks like he is refusing to adapt. He makes us into a circus and at points it will piss off the dressing room.

25-30 million snap their hands off.

For a decent profit yes otherwise I'd keep him and hope he eventually pulls his head out of his arse more than once in 90mins

I'd sell at a loss just to free up the space for someone who is boring and reliable.

Difficult one, this. On the one hand I think he's going to be world-class one day. But as we don't play him centrally as a main striker, I can't see it being with us. Add to this the fact that he's high maintenance compared to what he brings to the team, then yes, I'd ship him out - but with a heavy heart.

I can't think of a current premiership player that gets the shit kicked out of him more, yet Balo isn't physical enough for the Prem??!

PSG, but he won"t go there.

The problem is, with Bobby in charge, we would rather sell Big Ed, Herman or even Sergio before Mario.
