KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum Possible Mascherano/Balotelli Swap

Its been reported that Inter will offer Balotelli plus cash in order to sign Mascherano. Do you reckon we should accept this? Personally, I reckon this could be a good deal. Under the right guidance, Balotelli can fulfill his potential and I belive Hodgson will get the best out of him. If we could get £10-15m plus Balotelli, we would have more striking options which we lack plus a decent amount of money to sign another quality player.

I think it could be the way of our summer. At least if we do swap deals the yanks can't hold all the money back for themselves.

As for Balotelli, I think it could be a good deal.

it's being said inter wants £28m for him so it wouldn't be a player + cash deal but a straight swap between masch and balotelli.

he's has the potential to be great but he's been surrounded by too many problems and his attitude seems far from good.

i'd rather take cash for masch and use it on 1 or 2 other players...

Which is why Inter have reportedly turned down a bid of £33m....

Its funny how other teams players always have lower values that true to fit our budget..

Doesn't sound too bad, I wouldn't take anything less than 15 million though. Balotelli is definatly one of the best up and coming strikers out there, but would his attutude effect the team, we could have an Ibrahimovic on are hands.

if it helps his pretty handy in my football manager game. never seem him play

You're probably right but if Inter value him at £30m+ they aren't sell him for £10m whether we rate him or not

Inter are playing games anyway, they supposedly raked in £100m+ from their success's last season but haven't got the money for Masch

with Benitez's man management skills and Ballotelli's volitile nature id expect there to be a huge falling out and a transfer request submitted before long.

If it's a straight swap then hell no.
Swap plus 15m then it's worth the risk.

Wouldn't touch him bad attitude not a team player and over rated big time plus you seen how bad Italy were and he still didn't make the squad
