Balo's craziness is overrated.

Everything he does is exaggerated by media, just by mentioning his name their articles become more interesting to read.
This is very true. Good example is the fireworks thing, first they said it was him, then they reported it as his friends but then after people forget about that they returned to saying it was him with the fireworks.

Balotelli is not a potent striker yet, whats the highest amount of goals in a season? Todays goal was great (the second, one, Cassano did everything for that goal, my grandma would have scored that), but we nee a great goalscorer, not a scorer of great goals.

What I'm saying is that now we need a Inzaghi, not a Quag.
I used to think so to until just a few weeks ago when I realised that there are no inzaghi's anymore with a few exceptions. They have been replaced with more versatile players that are more athletic. Hiaguin and Gomez the updated Inzaghi's to fit the modern football. I think balotelli can become one too. I would LOVE to see him join us. If we have found out in a year that he was not a striker but a seconda punta we can get a new striker next year and sell one of gio, vuci, or balo. He needs to be more clinical but so far he has shown that he has workrate too and not only potential. Yesterday we could him backtrack every time Marchisio when offensive and the Germans got the ball. That truly convinced me.

Balotelli :heart:
Went from being one of the most hated players in Italy to being the hero that brought the NT pass the Germans. All the haters can suck 10 000 dicks and drown in semen.

Always love Balo,but I would rather watch him somewhere else and just keep on doing his best when he plays for Azzurri! plus the guy respects Del Piero! so anyone who respects Ale is not an ass in my books..

What 1 game can do to people here:

Before the game: "Balotelli is overated" "dont want Balotelli here" "Hummels is great, lets sign him"
After 1 game and I repeat 1 game: "Hummels was a joke against Italy, Hummels is overated" "wouldnt sign Hummels"
I bet if Balotelli doesnt put a performence against Spain he`ll be called as overated again

Now to the reality: Balotelli is a great player with huge potential. He could become one of the best as he is very strong has some powerfull and quite accurate shooting skills, can dribble altough I think he could improve on that one can give some nice headers and quite fast (IMO).
His problem is that his behaviour could make him miss on his potential.
I see him like Cassano - Cassano was already great but not WC before he went to Sampdoria. He was a great player with great potential but his behaviour made him miss on this potential.
Cassano then moved to Sampdoria and matured a lot therefore allowing him to reach his potential and altough it took him some time his change of behaviour ultimately made him reach his potential and become wc.
Balotelli right now is just another great player - He is no Cavani RVP Higuain actually his level of play right now is quite similar to Dzeko (he is better than Dzeko in many things but the thing is give Dzeko a chance and you can count on him making it count). Balotelli`s potential however could make him surpass all of them.
Right now I dont know if Balotelli is a 20+ goals a season player but he could definitely reach it and if he fullfills his full potential he could also reach 30

As for Hummels - He wasnt that bad actually. He was fooled by Cassano for the 1st goal but other than that he had a decent game IMO. I actually saw some great things about Hummels. He is a smart defender who can mark well.
Badstubber however had an aweful night.

Balotelli is a twat, anybody who would sign him based purely on his phenomenal talent and potential without considering the fact that he is the antithesis of the Conte way, at this point in time, is a retard.
