totally deserve that and even more. Huge potential but he's only problem is he's attitude problem and wenger can work wonders with that type of players.....
In this case age does count, imo. Especially since he's Italian. So many of the negative aspects in his game, the immaturity in certain situations most of all (not only his temper, but also some decisions to needlessly dribble when he has the ball), can be forgiven due to his age and can be fixed in the future.
We know how Italians, especially the big clubs, rarely give chances to such youngsters and when it happened, almost always those youngsters proved to be great players. Some might say that a foreign coach is the one who's playing Balotelli, but lets not forget that Balotelli started playing under Mancini, not under Mourinho. Both Mancini and Mourinho were doing what the Italians almost never do...they played, even important matches, with a 17,18 and now 19 year old in the team.
The fact is that at the age when 99.9999999% of the Italians his age can't even get a place for a relegation struggling team, Balotelli already played 56 matches for Inter, scored 18 and assisted 9 goals, with goals and assists in Serie A, Coppa Italia and CL. And on many of these 56 matches he came as a sub. Plus, with players like Milito and Eto'o, or previously Zlatan, he wasn't getting regular football, and yet he's scoring a lot and assisting. Oh, and he's also scoring against big clubs. He already scored 3 goals against Juve, 3 against Roma...also 3 against Genoa, 1 against Fiorentina.
The huge talent is there for everyone to see it. His problem is that he's aware of his talent so many times he's trying to overdue things, not to mention the attitude of his.

The kids got 18 goals in all competitions in the last 3 years despite only playing less than 60 games. Anyone who doesn't think that he is a specimen as a striker is blinded by the Inter colors.
18 goals and he only just turned 19.
Everyone who fawns over Jovetic should take a look at Mario's numbers and re-think their stance on him.
They really should.
There is nothing that Balotelli lacks. He has size, strength, pace, vision, and a nose for goal
Yeah, his attitude is shitty. He needs to spend more time attached to Javier Zanetti's hip to learn how to act more like a professional.
and selfishly speaking, I hope this kid gets it, and soon. I would love to see him playing for Italy
