I'd be interested to see what Redknapp could do with Balotelli
I'd like to see him make a canoe out of him actually.

We can laugh at Mancini going but we should try and wrap up the Ade deal before a new manager may come along and decide he wants Ade as part of his plans
I don't think Redknapp, Ferguson or anyone can do more for Balotelli than Mancini has. Balotelli is probably closer to Mancini than he would be to any other manager and Mancini as of yet still hasn't tamed him. He's said he sees him as a father.
And I think he's becoming a bit of a spacegoat for yesterday to be honest. Fair enough he probably should have been sent off about 3 times during the match but at least he was doing something, getting into positions, getting on the ball. Which is more than can be said for pretty much every other single attacking player Emirates Marketing Project had out there yesterday, in what was a must win game.
And he's been carrying them quite a bit in the second half of the season imo, as Dzeko, Aguero, Silva and Nasri have all lost form.
Its worth noting that as a youngster, Cantona was probably even worse.

I agree completely about spacegoating and other players. Loads of other youngsters that have been acting very foolishly, perhaps not many quite to the extent of Balotelli, but I still think he can become an excellent player.
Not sure if Mancini couldn't have done better though, impossible to say really.
he's not acting foolishly though, he is committing GBH on the football pitch. He tried to stamp on parker's head and yesterday he tried to break Song's leg. He needs to be banned for a year simple to protect opposing players. He is going to seriously hurt someone very soon if action isnt taken now

Remember Roy Keane on Haaland? Remember some of Steven Gerrard's tackles earlier in his career? How about De Jong on Ben Arfa in the league and on Alonso in the World Cup final? Rooney has made several very dangerous tackles earlier in his career.
Loads of other examples as well, he needs to be taught a lesson, suspensions, lesson from his manager. But it's nothing new, or unique for him.
