Imagine Balotelli scoring the winning penalty in the UCL final with his stupid stutter run up and then by celebrate standing still and not even smiling

Llorente - a player we released for not being good enough and replaced by nobody should tell you all you need to know. No thanks.

Giroud isn't realistic so if it's between Llorente and Balotelli it's Balotelli every time. What does Llorente offer over him? Work rate? Don't make me laugh, the bloke just ambles around as slow as a carthorse. At least Mario would strike fear into defenders.

Dragons info is solid, Llorente is DL one.
The others mentioned earlier (Benteke apart who is a no!). JM keen on any of the 4/5. It is down to DL doing the deals, and all viable. I call it as it is either way. Let’s wait and ?

NB: Not keen on Llorente due to fitness conditions concerns
Disappointed Re benteke ?

Giroud - Can't see Chelsea selling him.
Llorente - One year older. But we know what he's about.
Balotelli - Idiot. But a Idiot who is still scoring every other game he plays.

Safe option is Llorente but I doubt he will be effective for 2nd season running.
Balotelli will give goals. At the same time, we have to be mentally prepared he could get a red in first 5 minutes of a big game.
Mad Mario always reminded me of The Monk in Mean Machine...

How would it be if Llorente came back and got us into the CL final again, he'd be an absolute legend.:)

Exactly can’t run at all. Imo Jansen was a better player. He is good as a plan b Wimbledon long ball Hail Mary and that’s it. All others are miles better

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.

Willing to run the risk of him getting a red in a big match if the alternative is Llorente starting the game because we might as well be playing with 10 when he's on the pitch. Also the scenes when he wins us the cup with an overhead kick and cups his ears to the Gooners.

Imagine if it was Balotelli for rest of the season and he just couldn't stop scoring! #ohmydays
