Just looked at the Brescia team and my god they are horse shit. No wonder they’re 20th in Serie A.

If Balotelli can bag a goal every couple of games there, where he’s getting little quality service coupled with racial abuse from opposition fans on a regular basis, I imagine he could do pretty well with service from Aurier, Sess, Son, Dele, Steve and GLC.

Too much baggage. His shenanigans could damage an already fragile dressing room.

I could listen to some fans accepting Giroud arriving, but Balotelli?! Deary me.

It’s like hearing the DJ shout “last tune of the night” and the panic of the last minute scramble to try pull a bird and you end up grabbing the first person you see. The sheer desperation is embarrassing.

Fuck it, bring in Super Mario! I wanna see the fireworks on Amazon ?

Problem with Balotelli is he’s just as likely to karate kick Kane in the head when he eventually returns to training as he is to score a hat trick against the gooners.

Text my friend who’s a sports journo with a particular interest in Serie A. He says:

“I would say he’s been OK without doing anything special - scored 5 goals but also had a red card and some rubbish performances”

Whereas when I asked about Piatek, he said:

“I mean football is not an exact science but Newcastle / Villa is probably more his level”

So that’s settled. I’m balls deep for Mario now.

Look what this window has done to us. Started with hopes of Gareth Bale and ended it with debates over Nadno, Giroud, or bloody Mario Balotelli. All jokes aside, I’m fairly content with the window as a whole. Bergwijn allows us to put Sonny or Lucas at striker where they both are capable and frankly, Son has looked very poor on the left wing as of late. I just really think we’ll regret losing out on Berge. Going to be a top quality defensive mid in no time.

I thought Giroud was more your type. Handsome fecker.

So what you're saying is if he kicks Kane in the ead in training he has to be first name on the team sheet against the Arsenal.

Don't think I've seen Ballotelli play since he scored against us for Liverpool - so I have absolutely no idea what sort of player we'd be getting if it happens...

one thing valuable about all three is that their weaning period would be relatively short. all three understand the game and given basic roles and instructions could execute out of the gate.
