£16m fee agreed. Just a case of agreeing personal terms now in terms of Balotelli's move to Anfield#LFC

Won't he sulk if he isn't played every week?
Won't studge sulk if he's played every week?
If they play up top together what the fuck happens to all the am's we've bought.
He's still lazy as fuck.
He's still moody as fuck.
He still flaps around like berbatov when he doesn't get the ball.
I was at the Costa Rica vs Italy game at the World Cup and he put in one of most adject shittiest performances I've ever seen. Zero work rate or interest.
Disaster waiting to happen

Liverpool would need to have Balotelli registered with the PL by midday tomorrow for him to be eligible to play against Man City on Monday.

What I don't understand is why we would first try to sign Remy or Bony when Balotelli was available. Or why we'd try to sign Konoplyanka and Bertrand when Markovic and Moreno were available. It's as though Ian Ayre has lost all hope and just resigns himself to going for the second and third choices from the start. Thank God he didn't disappoint in his ability to fuck up a straightforward negotiation that it left us with no choice but to go for the better players.
DO IT!!!!

Breaking: Liverpool FC agree £16m fee for Mario Balotelli
Mario Balotelli is closing in on a return to the Premier League
Liverpool are this afternoon closing in on a deal for striker Mario Balotelli after agreeing to pay AC Milan £16million.
The Reds have been granted permission by the Serie A outfit to discuss personal terms with the controversial Italy international, who is now expected to fly to Merseyside.
Balotelli has confirmed to Sky Italia that he expects to imminently complete a transfer as he said: “This will be my last day at Milan.
”Negotiations progressed quickly after Liverpool made their surprise move for the 24-year-old former Manchester City frontman.
Their pursuit of Balotelli represents a remarkable U-turn after the club dismissed any interest in signing him earlier this month.
Liverpool have been searching for a new striker since a deal to sign QPR's Loic Remy collapsed last month after the Frenchman failed a medical.
The Reds enquired about the availability of Monaco’s Radamel Falcao, Paris Saint-Germain’s Edinson Cavani and Real Madrid’s Karim Benzema but were frustrated in their attempts to land a marquee signing.

Brendan Rodgers had also considered signing Samuel Eto’o with the veteran striker a free agent after parting company with Chelsea at the end of last season.
However, the Cameroon international was always viewed as a last resort and Liverpool have been actively pursuing other options. That extensive search has led them to Balotelli, who is set to return to the Premier League 18 months after Man City sold him to Milan for around £16million.
Then City boss Roberto Mancini showed Balotelli the door after growing tired of the striker’s antics.
He was involved in numerous incidents during his three years at the Etihad Stadium, including setting fireworks off in his house and throwing a dart at a youth-team player.
Balotelli also clashed frequently with team-mates and his manager on the training ground, running up a £340,000 fine.
He scored 30 goals in 80 games in all competitions for City but only managed three in 20 matches during his final season there. Since moving to Milan he has scored 30 goals in 54 appearances and has 13 goals in 33 games for Italy.
If Balotelli signs for the Reds it promises to be a major test of Rodgers’ renowned man-management skills. The Northern Irishman turned Luis Suarez into a world class performer and has helped the likes of Daniel Sturridge and Raheem Sterling realise their potential.
Rodgers prides himself on the team spirit and camaraderie he has established over the past two years and will want guarantees from Balotelli that he will toe the line before any transfer is rubber-stamped

I watched a lot of Serie A last season and yeah he's a good striker but a lazy one. Look at him in the world cup for example. First game he seemed up for it the rest, completely disinterested and just strolled around the pitch. I'm really surprised that Rodgers has gone for him. I just hope he can succeed where everyone else has failed.
The odds against Glen being the one to put at downer on this were never better than Evens.
