Mario Balotelli (Liverpool -> Nice)

also he's the most accomplished player we have in our team.

No he isn't.

Come on man , he is a decent player with some fantastic skills and touches, but accompished is defo not a word I would use to describe him.

I was referring to his trophy haul.

The word you might have been looking for is 'decorated'.

Djimi Traore has a European Cup winners medal and I'd never put him and accomplished in the same sentence.

Fair enough, he has won some trophies.

on his instagram.... his timing is as good as ever then.

what does that photo even mean?

what does that photo even mean?

Presume it means he thinks Brendan is about to get the sack and he will be freed to play as a result.

Classless if it is.

Well, the photo obviously means he feels he has been chained down.. and is now looking to be released...

Question goes a bit deeper. What he is suggesting?

Answer for Fed: Rodgers is sacked - and Balo is looking forward to a season under Klopp.

Great photo by Balo, he's right.

Looks like he is saying he was not allowed to play in his natural way and either he is off or looking forward to a new manager.

Great photo by Balo, he's right.

No he isn't. Regardless of what you think of the manager.

Balotelli had plenty of opportunities this season and did f**k all.

He is a lazy and overrated.

He is a lazy and overrated.

Plenty of opportunities while being played out of position, he scored some important goals and the manager mocked him afterwards, didn't try to motivate him at all.

We should have played him more. I remember when we played United away we never looked like scoring until he came on and was only denied by two outstanding saves. He's been unlucky in front of goal this season. FA Cup semi final springs to mind. Still the best striker at the club easily, if completely misused.

How is anyone supposed to get into form by playing 10 minutes every two weeks?

I hope he stays.

Out of position? He's a striker and played striker.

Sturridge, surely, and by a long ways too.

Just a silly picture, don't think he actually put any thought into it other than seeing himself as a beast, hence the chains and hashtag. Hope he's off this summer.

Sturridge, surely, and by a long ways too.

Fit striker.

what does that photo even mean?

I assume by loading means packing his bags

what does that photo even mean?

he has found it fun being here and he is loading his bank account for doing nothing

I hope he stays and we can bring in a manager than can get the best out of him.

bodgers is a nobody, poor mans graeme souness

"Classless" is his middle name.

Seeing Mario Balotelli in a red shirt next to Steven Gerrard is one of the most deplorable things I have seen in football comparable only to seeing Neymar next to Lionel Messi.Thing is,the majority of football fans (and players) put winning above everything else,and could give a F**k about how reprehensible a character this guy is as long as he gives us results.If you were a Chelsea fan,would you be embarrassed by Diego Costa,by Mourinho?Are Real Madrid fans embarrassed by Ronaldo´s tantrums and dives?Would you have a Neymar shirt if you were a Barcelona fan,would you celebrate when you won a game with a penalty he got through diving?

This is the sickness of modern football,success by any means and any people necessary.I wouldn´t expect a fan of Manchester City post 2009/2011 to give a crap about what mercenary they bought to give them titles,but a Liverpool fan?A club that has had Steven Gerrard as it´s symbol all these years?How do we go from a gentleman to a guy that takes pictures with mobsters,uses his team rival´s jersey on tv and breaks up with his girlfriend via text messaging (also on tv).Is this the type of person we want representing us in a red shirt with our shield on their chest?

Point is,if Balotelli were not the lazy-ass fail excuse of a player he is,and racked up 20 goals this season,I would still want him gone, same as I wanted rid of Suarez after the World Cup.I know honor,respect and decency are not practical values to have or demand from other people or players who represent your team,but I will carry them till death and beyond,as they are bigger to me than a person,a club,a sport,a trophy,or millions of trophies.

People who rate what Balotelli has done in the past aren't wrong, it's just he has regressed massively with us. If you believe he can return to his former self fair play, but I just can't see it myself. I think he's just lost that special spark that good strikers have.

I'll be glad to see him go not because I dislike him but because I think it will be good for the club.
