He is a very good player but he is also an idiot.

With the right attitude he could be the new TH14. Wenger's the guy who can transform him. Would be a gamble, but I think it'd pay off immensely.
Hope to god he doesn't come back to City

Do you think we will go for a striker in Jan or is Podolski LANS?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Pod, Theo and Ox are LANS.
However, I think even Wenger is losing patience with Giroud so a signing is a possibility. The question is whether there is anyone better we could go for.
Sign him up.
Just imagine the stories.
Good player but so immature. I like him as a player but with the team spirit so good at the moment a balotelli like character could be bad for the dressing room.
strange comments from ppl considering they still have Dzeko on the books.Isnt Adebayor and Santa Cruz also on your books.mario was far more value just at the club.
City actually had neutrals interested.Then again ppl will tell you City is a bigger club than Arsenal.Strange bunch these 3 city fans.
Anyway coming back to the issue, he is definitely got more potential than Giroud longterm but he only gfives his best form on inspiration.In an italian shirt he is a REALLY GOOD Striker.Top 5 in international football in my opinion but Ive followed maripo since his inter days, no way will he give you good performances over 60 games in a season.
Wenger can get the most out of him but at best he will score the same number of goals as Theo.Not worth the risk if we can get a better player.
by the way I dont believe all the issues that Mario is bad for the dressing room.Not once have you heard such stories from the iralian camp or at milan.The guy speaks 4 languages and is extremely popular world wide.Neymar would rather share a pint with Mario than Rooney.
It was just british media nonsense just to keep Mario on their back pages.Im not worried about his influence on team morale, I just dont believe Mario has the discipline to see out a full season performing to the bwst of his abilities.
I know players change, see RVP or Suarez this season but I just dont think mario can do it.His life is too much of a circus to make it work.At least this season he has shaved his head and tried to put his head down as he hasnt matched any of the expectations based on his abilities 3 years ago but Im not convinced mario can be the top top striker we all think he can be.
I hope he proves me wrong but i just cant see it.I wouldnt mind him as a reserve striker at the club.I actually think he would fire up the fans and the club as a whole.
His attitude on the pitch stinks for quite long periods in the season. No thanks
In my view, he is one of the reasons for AC Milan's current woes. Maybe his teammates like him - he is a funny guy, after all. But football is not a circus. Balotelli is anathema to a team spirit which is focused on hard work and success.
