Back in for Balotelli after expressly denying any interest in him earlier this summer. Looks like they've been turned down by quite a few priority targets. Can't imagine Balotelli fitting in well with Brenton's approach of hard work.

There is something to be said though about having a random element in your team. A played its hard to mark out of a game, who does the unexpected and has talent.

It worked well for AVB with Bale. It worked for Rodgers with Suarez. So Getting in a player like Balotelli can do the same for him. There is no doubting he has talent if harnessed well.

The thing is Liverpool play well as a unit, whereas Balotelli, if in the midst of a bad spell of form, can still turn petulant and self centred with his play at any given moment. He is undoubtedly a good player, but whether or not he is the right fit for Liverpool is another thing. I suppose at this junction they are open to taking any player they can, granted they are above a certain level. Quite opposed to the approach of ourselves. Last day bids for Damiao, Rasiak etc.

Although he is proven I still feel it is a gamble. He is yet to (but could do so this year) have a full season where he is firing on all cylinders and spearheading a team, which is what they need to.
 
To replace a controversial temperamental ****er that topped Premier League assisting charts, they sign a controversial temperamental ****er with one assist in 54 games for Emirates Marketing Project. A player with a vastly inferior goalscoring record to Suarez in a vastly inferior league.

Balotelli is a talented player for sure. But a completely different style of player to the one he is replacing. The one he replaced made his team mates play better, by being good at dribbling with the ball and dragging defenders away from them, and by picking them out with accurate passes. Balotelli offers neither of those things. He is a very good finisher, but even then, I'd say a downgrade from Suarez.

Aside from being selfish and not fitting into Liverpool's style of play at all, I think he's hugely over-rated because of his media image. When he scores an ice-cool match winner in a big game and celebrates with style, he makes a name for himself. But he's never scored more than 14 league goals in a season and doesn't get any assists. And he's not even that young any more at 24, you'd have thought he'd have had at least one outstanding season to justify the hype. His goalscoring record for Italy is ok but unspectacular too.

I'd be much more concerned if he went to Arsenal, as they'd play him as a lone striker who would be relied upon to poach goals. In opposition fashion from Giroud, he's certainly a big game player. Would be interesting if he gets to play this weekend and make his debut at the Etihad - guarantee he'll either score or get sent off.
