Balotelli stays on

[dee]

Nice striker Mario Balotelli has signed a new one-year contract with the club.
The Italian, 26, scored 15 goals in the French Ligue 1 last season as Nice finished third to reach the qualifying rounds of the Champions League.
Balotelli signed on free transfer from Liverpool in August 2016, two years after a £16m move to Anfield.
The ex-Manchester City striker has also scored 13 goals in 33 appearances for Italy but has not played for the national side since the 2014 World Cup.

What's the betting we draw Nice in the play-off

1 year contract? He did relatively well last year didn't he? He is on a free and he couldnt negotiate for anything better?

We got fleeced didn't we?

You can categorically say that, yes we did.

There's always interesting debates when we sign players, those who think Player X is amazing and those who take the polar opposite stance. And a whole load of "meh" in the middle.

But surely no signing has ever been as universally opposed and correctly predicted to end in fucking disaster as Liverpool signing Balotelli?

I seem to remember a very excitable thread when he signed. It was some sort of group attempt to convince ourselves he was good.

Out with Luis Suarez. In with Balo and Lambert. Great window.

Downing.

Apart from Mark, obv.

 

[Dreambeliever]

There were a number of exciting posters in his signing thread for some rediculous reason.

Was always going to be a complete and utter disaster

Downing was nowhere near the obvious landmine Balotelli was.

 

[Oncy]

Everyone knew it would be a disaster. Many posters went on a positive spin mission because Balo. Because stories.

"Ballertelli"

He started like a boss but his season tailed off. That good start is what's got him another deal, but the fact that it's only a one-year deal shows they still have doubts.
