What fee would we get for Balo?

[ant london]

Would Mario get this level of shit if he was white and played for England? I think not.

I'm sorry but this is bullshit. When shrek ever does anything wrong the media is on him like swearing in the camera etc. stop playing the race card for no reason. People like you are why racism endures, seeing it when it's not there.

what a total load of shit of a post

whenever Shrek does anything like screaming in the referee's face, waving imaginary red cards or just being an unpleasant scummy scouse piece of shit...95% of the time absolutely FUCK ALL happens to him you moron

Back on. As the most prominant 'role modle' for British youngsters his onstant swearing at refs is a bit of a joke. At the time Mancini was questioned about his card waving antics Shrek sneeked one of his own out to assist in getting Kompany sent off .... odeous human being

Probably around £20m, but after a loan.

right when mario does it, it must be because he is black... Can we get back to what I quoted, obviously got it wrong about shrek, but nearly every player screams in a refs face. Shrek lost sponsorship when he swore into the camera so its not as if he does get away with everything and the papers/media were all over it for awhile about him being a disgusting human being (which is he).

But if you're happy to accept this only happens to mario because he's black then you're the moron to sir, like the guy that said it.

£50m at least if this is true http://www.astonvilla.vitalfootball.co. ... ?a=7514256

I still think you have great wisdom John.
Even though you're a cunt.
Hey, worse than that, I've had the 'you must be a rag' treatment.
It's getting weird here.
Love (but no kisses)
Piccs.

tell me, Son, which bastid told You "must be" a rag?
certainly must take more than a couple of "Mancini out" to make a rag of a lifelong Blue, possibly far less to make a t**t, though.
also, can't refrain from stressing how true are the first 2 lines You dropped.

If danny graham is worth a supposed 12m and not even an international. Then we should certainly get our money back at least on Balotelli.

Danny Graham doesn't have a forty odd million commitment to wages attached to any purchase of him.

Danny Graham's shirt sales wouldn't come close to paying for his wages whereas....

LOL

Mario is a major brand. I know it's sad that football has come to that but when you're discussing what fee we are likely to receive his brand has to be factored in.

He isnt though is he?

Messi is a major brand, his football is the product

Balotellis product is not football, and neither is it sales of merchandise. But add his absurdities to the potential brand he could have as a footballer and he has the potential, financially to be as big a brand as Ronaldo and Messi. Unfortunately, he neither has the talent nor the track record to bring in the sponsors or sell the shirts.

So he is not doing it as a footballer, and he is not doing it financially

Where do we go from here

Do we wait forever for the talent (which may not even be there) to emerge?

He's City's second biggest shirt seller after Aguero.

The talent is there, even a blind man can see that, whether it will emerge is anyone's guess.

Got a source for that stat? Only i'd say from looking around on matchdays, he is comfortably behind Silva and Kompany too

I think the question is whether for all the aggro, a 22 year old who hides his light under a bushel is anything comparable to Ronaldo who was banging in 40 goals in england at that age, or for that matter Aguero who had just turned 23 when he arrived here last season and had a 1 in 2 record in la liga after his first season, over 4 seasons bagging 68 league goals in 137 games for a mid table side.

We bought a talented kid with potential and baggage. We now have a talented adult with potential and baggage.

There has been nothing in this season to distinguish him from his first 2 years at the club, and therefore what, just what if, all this mythical potential he has, is just that - hype from a very clever agent.

Can't find the original article, sorry, it was IBTimes or one of them financial media outlets where I read he was second highest at City.

I did find this from the Fail that have him in our top three:

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/footba ... g-who.html

I was in Paris a while back and saw two young kids wearing City shirts so I asked them why they support City, they responded that they didn't, they supported Balotelli.
