Im not sure but it seemed like alot or at least alot of great ones. No matter what happens it will be entertainment. When Gerrard sends the corners or free kicks in JUST AIM FOR THE MOHAWK !

I must admit - I thought Mario would never happen - it's just fantasy stuff. But now the deal has been agreed I'm sort of warming to it. Why? Because without his issues he really is a 30 mil + player and we got him at half price. He's also 24 and this is a make or break transfer for him. He still has the youth and the skill to become a top, top player - a kop idol even. But if he keeps being a plonker he will not get too many more chances at top clubs - and he must know this. Perhaps BR can mellow him out - get him to buy into the club philosophy and take this big chance. Of course, there's a big chance that he'll always be an immature twunt and fail again - but 16 mil is not that big of a gamble to take compared to Falcao and Cavani.
Mario loves the spotlight - and what better bright light than thrilling the kop. Let's see how this pans out. If nothing else - it will be a thrilling ride this season. Generally round about 25 years even the biggest tit grows up. There are exceptions of course but generally thats the case

To be fair, he's not gotten into much trouble since he moved to Milan, and he always seems to start out for teams very well. I think he may have grown up already, and Rodgers could smooth out the rough edges.

This is the fun part ie "the un-known", have we made a fricking deal of the decade or have we signed a liability. We have taken a gamble and everyone is excited to see how it pans out hence why such a media spectacle today.

I know a few City fans who were unhappy he was sold in the first place and gutted he is joining us.
Understandable, Balotelli is heads and above Dzeko, Negrado and Jocovic i would take jocovic ahead of mario

14 goal in 30 Appearances is good enough to be a top striker, but Mario seems to often to disappear in games. Meaning his actual impact / contribution overall can be questioned.
7 open play, 3 pen, 4 free kick
I just think a ratio of 1:4 in relation to open play goals to games isn't going to frighten opponents. Its not like he is a creative spark either.
So it gets me a little worried.
Bear in mind though that that was with one of the worst Milan sides I've ever seen. Seriously, they're pretty awful at this point. Imagine what the boy can do with Coutinho and Company feeding him.

Or it could be the balls. Either way he's only one player in whats looking like a very good squad, bonus is that he's a relative bargain.
It'd be a blast if he can play against City.
