Incorrect, Balotelli's contract expires on the 30/06/2018, which is basically two months away. He will ask for a decent wage with a signing bonus but- I believe he is worth the punt. He has managed to score 22 goals in 32 games: 14 in the league, 6 in Europa League and 1 in both Champions League and the cup. I believe he would become ridiculous for us. He didn't work at Liverpool as he wasn't psychologically there. For a large ego player like himself, he has to come into a team and know he is a starter in order to build momentum. We can guarantee him time in the greatest league in the world and with the way the team is going, we are on the up. We can surround him with the creative talent he would need in order to grow as a player and get back into the Italy team. I am looking forward to the future as a Palace fan, we have an owner, a manager, and players that love the team and don't look to be leaving "a different challenge" (a sly dig at Bolasie). Roy won't leave us and I think he can take us to places Palace have never reached before. Read the post it refers too, its not incorrect Bentekes contract expires 30/6/2020

He has 6 goals scored from penalties this year in the Ligue 1 alone+ 1 which was saved by the keeper but bounced back to him and he scored. And 2 more penalties scored in the Europa League. And 4 more penalties last year. It's incredible how he still manages to deceive people. And beyond his goal scoring, his work rate is 0. Probably laziest player who ever played in the PL. Fighting it off with Berbatov and Ozil.

I want to say no, I really do. He’s lazy, he’s a pain in the arse, he’s trouble but at the same time just imagine him and wilf together... Yes he scores a few penalties but he can undoubtably finish and that’s with his feet and head. Won’t happen though, he’ll go to a team in Europe I reckon.

Setting off fireworks in your own bathroom for amusement purposes rather suggests that he is a man who, as P G Wodehouse would have said, has got his pages well and truly stuck together.

He is not fast, doesn't fight for the ball like Wilf does. Ok, he has some stregth given by his stature and a powerful shot, but that's pretty much it. NOt even that good a finisher. He has played with amazing players at Liverpool and was the worst in the Premier League. He's just not adapted for fast, strong PL football

Undoubted talent. If he has had a moment of clarity in France, where he realises finally he has one chance to save his career then I'd go for it. In a 442 with Benteke I think he'd be a handful. However, it would represent a huge gamble. We're a team. You can see that in how we play. Someone coming in and bring a lazy a**e could be detrimental to our progress.

No thanks, can you imagine him wrestling the ball away from luka to take a pen? Not the kind of guy to build team morale, talented but a complete knob.

Now fallen out with Viera, probably get him for free. 33 goals in 51 appearances for Nice. Can see him and Roy getting on famously!
