For the life of me, I really can't understand why he's rated so highly.

City now wants 37m euros despite all the problems they are facing from him. Surprisingly, Milan are said to be considering it and are keen to pay and bring him back to San Siro. This is the same Milan that doesn't want to pay a few quid for a certain Aquilani.

He might be young and talented but he's probably worth 20m max in my books. I can't understand what's the hype about this guy.

I wouldn't even take him on a free. Way to much trouble and would cause problems in the dressing room, and he's really no where near as good as he thinks he is

I'd rather have Sturridge Suso all day. The few times I've seen Balotelli his pace didn't impress me that much. I think Sturridge has a more explosive pace and he is more skillfull with the ball at his feet to be honest.

Government is not reason; it is not eloquent; it is force. Like fire, it is a dangerous servant and a fearful master.

Balotelli is better int the air, I suppose, and he is pretty stong, but his pace and skill are highly overated, IMO.

balotelli is quite amazing but weird, in his first season and the euro 2012 torni you could see his talent in that he's a amazing finisher when given time and space one on one with the keeper. He always seems to score when he gets a clear cut chance.

But he never ever creates his own chances or helps himself to get goals by getting into the right positions which is his downfall and has been of particular note this season.

But 28mil is ludicrous, 15-20 mil would be about right based on his potential alone if he ever does step up kind of like us loaning carroll to west ham


Upcoming world class players IMO for 2014 WORLD CUP:
K-P Boateng, Gotze, Sturridge, Kroos, Lucas Leiva, Hummels, Kyriakos Papadopoulos,

The players don't spend that much time in the dressing room so I wouldn't worry about it.
