I think every red has a right to be pissed off with Mario and to not want him represent our club in any way.
But before anybody writes him off completely, just remember how Joe Allens performances improved since Jurgens arrival. So I'm keeping an open mind on this one.
If he goes then fair enough I won't lose any sleep. But I won't be horrified to see him on the bench next season either.
Agree with this. Klopp will look at him and make a decision. While he is a Liverpool player I'm going to let him be.
I wouldn't have him near the training ground. I'd give him all the money he's due or going to be due (probably about 15 million quid or something) and tell him to stay away. If any club wants to take over his registration over the next four years, they've got to pay us 8 million quid to do it now, 7 million the season after, 6 the season after that and then five for his final year of contract. If nobody comes along what does Balotelli care? Mario's a rich man whatever happens, but equally we get him the f*** away from the other players. If Mario wants to continue to play football, he either has to persuade someone to buy his registration or alternatively buy it himself so he is then available on a free transfer.
Whichever way you look at it we've done our money, might as well engineer a situation which potentially limits the financial damage as well as completely limiting the damage he can do to squad morale.
Bloody hell. We wouldn't even treat a player that bit somebody and got found guilty of racially abusing another player that badly.
Depends what suits us, though, I suppose.
I'm not sure he could affect moral but I'm pretty sure if the required effort and mentality is not evident Klopp will make the required call.
Until then, as sh*te as he has been like, I know, I think we should take his head off the guillotine and see what happens with him with a different type of manager that he has had previously.
If he fucks it up again then off with his head.
