Pre-season Football 2011/2012 Season
- Thread starter Robert1986

He's sensational - what do people want, robots like Michael Owen or perfect role models like Ryan Giggs
?God knows what Dzeko was moaning at, the camel, it would've been in the stands if he'd had the chance to show us what a waste of £25m looks like in the same position.

I don't know why people are giving him such a hard time over that aswell, if he had scored those commentators would have lapped it up and said it was a special goal yet because he didn't , he is a disgrace
The American fans would have loved it if he scored aswell , these are the fans that were chanting YOU ****** UP when a united player missed a shot the other night and hold up signs like there at the wrestling

These are the kind of fans who don't sing songs but just chant 'defence' or 'offence' or 'go leaf go' where you can replace leaf for any team name at any ground..no imagination. they suck to quote them back.

It's about respect and professionalism, regardless of it being a friendly or not.

Barcelona V Internacional tomorrow at 6:15pm our time on ITV4.
Probably Barca's youth team.

He's a funny guy. I loved the water bottle throwing
The guy is a class A knob...i havent got time for someone who throws tantrums or doesnt do what his manager wants...sure it was a friendly but it wasnt very professional...as for Dzeko moaning??...id be moaning at the idiot myself when he could have easily passed it and another goal goes in :/
Ballotelli needs to grow up really...its unbelievable thats hes so damn petulant....guy has so much talent but yet throws it away due to his petulant behaviour and tantrums.
Does he though? Granted I never saw him play for Inter but he seems to me to be living of a reputation for having potential which is being over shadowed by his temperament
From what I've seen of him at City he's got zero work ethic which makes it really hard to see what positives there are in his game (e.g. pace, trickery, ability to hold the ball up etc), in fact the only thing remotely special he's done is score a couple of goals outside of the penalty area
Again I never saw him play for Inter or claiming to have seen him in every game for City, just basing my opinion on him from what I've seen.
Ive seen him play for Inter a few times and i thought he had a lot of potential and talent but sadly its wasted on him. Same with City when he started playing for them...i just think if he puts his mind to it and stops all this BS that he does then he could possibly be one of the best footballers around but the chances of that happening imho are virtually nil with his attitude....he is at best a liability for the teams he has played for and it didnt surprise me one bit that Inter wanted rid of him and even the Moaning one wasnt a fan of his and didnt play him all that much when he was there.
If you listen properly, a whistle is blown in the crowd and thats why Balotelli changes and just flicks it behind.
He shouldn't have done that, he shud have just banged it in or passed and then be told it was offside but he didnt...
No matter as it was only pre season.
Bad decision by Mancini to take him off though because we w ere awful after that.

Something reminds me of a certain penalty Pires/Henry tried, that people mostly laughed at, in a real game, we were winning. No one mentioned lack of respect, or professionalism, it was just hilarious, had it gone in, it would have been fantastic.
Football is entertainment, nothing more or less, scoring a more interesting goal is more interesting than scoring a less interesting goal.
People like to hate, simple as that, should he have done it, why not, if he did that and missed in a Champs league final they then lose, give him hell, a friendly, they were winning, boo freaking hoo.
Some of his antics have been over the top, darts out a window, everything else, couldn't give a toss. Football need's different characters, hard men, psycho's, hackers, clowns, ridiculously skilled players who show off tricks all the time. I can think of thousands of things footballers have done on the pitch that were worse that most people don't give too much of a crap about, cheating, breaking legs, fighting, etc, trying a fancy goal, which is what this boils down too, non issue.

Yeah because Balotelli's really set the world alight hasn't he
Balotelli's far far more gifted than the camel Dzeko - yes, his attitude is horrific, and no, he hasn't set the World alight, but that wasn't the premise of my post, so don't be so pedantic.
I was simply aluding to the fact that Dzeko is a complete carthorse and couldn't hit a cow's ar$e with a banjo. A statement I stand by.

How is balotelli still at Man City , he is a laughing stock of a player!
People saying it was only a friendly , yeah it was but if you try something like that you must score it otherwise it looks disrespectful , What a **** , makes me sick when you get players like that on high wages.
