I am starting to warm up on the idea of
Balotelli coming here. If he plays like he does for Italy and Conte works on his mentality (and he feels he can connect with the player) I think we could have the best CF in an year at most. He has it all and his work rate is just amazing for a 190 cms guy. Mancini might be good at some things, but he can't install winning mentality in his players and get them motivated and mentally prepared. I still remember his CL bloops with prInter.

Anyway with our tifosi on his back and a coach that can channel his anger and frustration into the right places Balotelli would be a beast and a certain starter for Italy in the next 8 years or so. If he steps up his performance all will be forgiven and he would be in the songs of the tifosi, which I presume would grant him double the satisfaction and confidence. It seems he likes challenges and I know its a gamble, but I don't think we can loose much. Especially if we get him ~20m and ~5m per season wages.
