He had to take the gamble because he had only so much left of his budget most probably and on paper, Mario was a better player than Remy. We spent 117m in that window, remember?

But if budget was a restriction or a deciding factor, why not buy Remy for half the price, a player more suited to us? Anyway you look at it it doesn't add up.

So you are saying Rodgers didn't have the last word when there was a choice between Remy and Balotelli? If he couldn't get the last word then he was no manager but a coach and in anycase he couldn't get the best out of players, example Sakho and Can to name a few, so a not good enough coach.
