Slashman X
Sam
His link is the official announcement. And it's been confirmed on the Stock Exchange.

bluemoon.
Yes.
Short answer: He's regressed massively since 2011/12 after a bunch of injuries, he's poor defensively (specifically his positioning and concentration aren't up to scratch), not very good going forward and has lost much of speed and agility that used to make him so dangerous going forward and quick to react when defending. Nowadays he's basically only good if you ask him to run in a straight line.
Combine all of that with his injury record and the weaknesses he had even when he was playing well (i.e. not the best technically and iffy decision-making) and it's not remotely surprising that City want rid.

Bullshit. FIFA will never punish the big clubs properly.

More please.

Rumoured asking price is £14M, with a first bid of £8M rejected.
I'm in two minds if LM actually did bid that (or Arsenal as is currently also being rumoured)... maybe we should sell and maybe we shouldn't.

They should've been banned for 2 summer transfer windows. A January window for a club like Barca is a moot punishment altogether.

Selling Borini for 14 Million and signing Mario for 16 Million is incredible business
King Luis
Worth that 12 of his 20 appearances in that final season for City were from the bench, obviously not great still but does skew the stat somewhat
Crane
His time at City isn't taken into them stats?
Slashman X
So casual
King Luis
Whoops
Anyway its a good bit of business when you look at who's available atm, Falcao, Cavani, Lavezzi would have cost a fortune and for all we know would have flopped in the EPL, at least we know Balotelli can score goals in the Premiership.

Only when he feels like it though.
Likely Rodgers is banking on Sturridge and Sterling doing all the work with Mario banging them in at random intervals. Given that Sturridge can be a tad greedy, I can see Mario not getting on well with him at the start

Carroll.
Why are Milan selling btw?

Not saying it will happen with Balo but when we signed Sturridge he was in much the same position as Balotelli is, accused of not scoring enough, being to greedy, not looking bothered. At 16 Million (if that is the fee) he's well worth the risk and if it doesn't work out we'd make most of the money back if we have to sell him on.
