I was actually at Carrington last Friday on business and almost bumped into him going into the toilet when I was coming out.
HE IS HUGE .... he nearly blocked the entire doorway ..... and it is one of those disabled size ones. He must be about about the same height as Ade but twice as wide.
I then saw him about 15 mins later in the Staff Restaurant eating the largest plate of food I have ever seen.
Can't wait to see him on the pitch ..... he is a man (or boy) mountain.
Encouraging stuff. Does he smoke 20 Bensons & drink 10 pints of Guinness per day as well?
Not yet, but going by his reputation, he probably will by the time he is 25.
What was interesting though is I heard him introduce himself to a member of staff as .... 'Super' Mario Balatelli.
I can't make my mind up as to whether that was a bit arrogant ..... or funny, in a tongue in cheek kind of way.
Tbh so long as his performances are as big as his head, I don't care. I think we need to realise that there's a fair chance he'll do a Robinho & have one eye looking to move on though. If he helps get us where we want to be, then we can replace him with another player of similar stature so everyone gets something out of it when he eventually goes. It could be that he'll develop a love for the club if he enjoys success with us of course but the liklihood is that he'll be producing his best in order to eventually further his own career elsewhere.
Well if we are getting ahead of ourselves in this kind of way then can i say that he better understand that with both the clubs ambition and his mate Mancini at the helm he better not fucl off before we have won the Prem and the CL two years in a row.
thank you
