      Jürgen, strangely enough, isn't the first Liverpool manager to make it clear Mario had no place here and wasn't worth wasting time on.

      It's nice to see the fans are all on board this time round.  8)

      Said manager also said he had no interest in signing Balotelli but then did. At least he saw the error of his ways the following summer though regarding the player.

      But I'm pretty sure all the fans were on board with it last summer too.

      And I know for a fact they weren't [could have been used better they said... would have changed the season had he played  they suggested], just as also know who actually brought 'Super' Mario here and how it came about - it's very well documented but... water under the bridge and all that. So...

      Just like Rodgers and Jürgen  - I never F***ing wanted the tit here in the first place... the sooner he's gone the better. 8)

      I didn't want him here, but once he was here I thought we could have used him better.

      Maybe now we could just put a sign round his neck ... free to good home, which is pretty much what we have done, although I'm not sure if we care about the good home part any more.

      Doesn't sugar coat things does he  :D

      Nope.

      That's as much of a 'F**k off Mario' as you can get without him actually saying it.

      Can't blame him, I don't get out of bed for more than £1m a week, WTF!

      I'm sorry but on this occasion I could understand letting your principles slide a little and just grab the cash, that's insane.

      These fuckers are getting rich by selling sh*t on ebay thanks to the damn slow boat that seems to be free for everything except human trafficking or some sh*t. I swear I went to sell something the other day and couldn't even package the damn thing for the price these guys are selling it new, packaged and shipped from the other side of the world.... now that's a trade agreement we need sorted. Royal mail £5.99 to post, 12p from China or some sh*t like that, anyway dunno where that rant came from, as you were.

      Klopp did say that Mario's attitude in training this summerhas been good
       and that his talent is still there to see.

      Someone will come in for him, even it's just a season-long loan or letting him go on a free.

      If I was selling a used car, I'd say things like "minimal wear and tear" and "drives great."  Subjective statements to try to keep value high -- in a relative sense at least....

      yeah but his attitude has been fine. in fact he's never been the balotelli we've read about in the papers at LFC.

      Errr, im not sure I 100% agree with your police work there lou...

      Night before Basel in the CL didn't he get absolutely trashed and post videos of him being sprayed with Champagne
      Banned from driving as he got caught doing 109 on the M62
      Bringing N'ze his new best friend to Melwood to hang around - after being told he cannot enter Melwood letting him sleep in his car
      Scoring an own goal in a training match, then laughing about it
      Berating Flanno who was injured and going to the treatement room

      Now, these are just what I recall - I am sure there are many many others on top of this...

      The reality is Ballo needs to grow up and fast - the way he is going the gravy train will stop for him if it hasent already.

                   I am surprised at Jürgen Klopp telling lies,mind you if it gets rid of Balotelli  well done Jürgen.

      don't think i knew about any of them (maybe i don't read enough bad newspapers). one of them is just "balotelli got caught speeding", so what? anyway, none of that is anything like the bullshit that used to get printed about him.

      people don't just grow up they are shaped and moulded by their mentors. we have failed the player as much as mourinho and mancini did. not many fans can accept this for some reason.

      Don't see what the crime is about scoring an own goal in training and laughing about it is either. I'd be much more concerned if the squad were under rules that were so strict you couldn't have a laugh or a joke from time to time.

      You being serious? So all of his teammates are working their arses off to get prepared for the next game and he decides to kick the ball in his own net for a laugh. I highly doubt any of his teammates would have been laughing with him.

      If you look at any of the training pictures it's clear to see the players have plenty of fun.

      There's a big difference between having a laugh and taking the complete piss.

      people don't just grow up they are shaped and moulded by their mentors. we have failed the player as much as mourinho and mancini did. not many fans can accept this for some reason.

      He was driving at 109mph when caught and he is breaking the law - whilst representing LFC (like it or not off the pitch they represent the club too). It highlights his lack of respect for the club and for the law - he was doing this for a laugh too, not because he was late for the birth of his child, because he has a powerful car and he can...

      I agree people need a positive role model - but this is not the fault of any manager. The blame lies firmly with him as an individual and you as a fan shouldn't accept that he is not responsible not us fans accepting that we have let him down.

      There is one constant and that is Mario - how on earth can you blame 4 clubs & 5 managers for him not getting his act together when they all have experience of doing exactly the opposite. How many people have let him down including the back room staff - perhaps 100. But no, its there fault not the 1 person who keeps messing up?

      Will you still be saying this in 3 years time after he has gone through another 3 clubs and managers?

      I did 120 once...for the same reason...for a laugh and because I could. Thank goodness I wasn't representing a football club at the time, Lord have mercy!!

      There were even some posters who suggested Rodgers "misused" Mario. Almost as daft as the f****** idiots who suggested signing the daft c*** was a good idea :lmao:. Anyways, it seems Jürgen agrees with Rodgers on this one, another TC flop.
