Few things to point out;

He is still only 24 years old
He has been left out of the Liverpool pre-season team tour
His farther just recently passed away

Love him to bits but with his Dad just passing I can see him going even more mental this season.

He's talented but just not worth the drama for me. Every club has got rid of him in the end and I don't think he's a luxury we can afford. This Mourinho quote sums him up;

"I could write a book of 200 pages of my two years at Inter with Mario, but the book would not be a drama – it would be a comedy. I remember one time when we went to play Kazan in the Champions League. In that match I had all my strikers injured. No Diego Milito, no Samuel Eto'o, I was really in trouble and Mario was the only one. Mario got a yellow card in the 42nd minute, so when I got to the dressing room at halftime I spend about 14 minutes of the 15 available speaking only to Mario. I said to him: 'Mario, I cannot change you, I have no strikers on the bench, so don't touch anybody and play only with the ball. If we lose the ball no reaction. If someone provokes you, no reaction, if the referee makes a mistake, no reaction.' The 46th minute – red card!"

I always found Ian Holloway's quotes very amusing to witness at other clubs, however once he came to Palace and we were bottom of the Prem and losing every week, they suddenly became unfunny very quickly. I imagine a similar thing might occur with Balotelli's antics if he became disruptive here.

We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the drugs began to take hold...

He's a nutter but in a nice way

life's full of dull people. I'd take him
and I'd have a beer with him.

and....there is no and.

Why always us.

I would not even bother. Same as Adebayor, his morale would ruin us as a lot of our form is based on team work and the team playing as a unit.

Balotelli is only out there for himself and if it does not go his way he will just groan and then loose all interest in the game.

Would rather have someone that likes to run around and give his all even if they aren't as well known.
