Goodbye and good riddance, or thanks
for the memories? After three years in Manchester, Mario Balotelli is
heading back to Italy in a deal worth almost £20million. It is a
financial loss for City, but is it a loss to the Premier League?
I'll
say this for him, he's pretty reliable from 12 yards. Beyond that, his
reliability is akin to that of Del Boy's three-wheeler; the £25million
man is a plonker.
Whenever discussion turns to the
striker, as it inevitability does on an almost daily basis, I'm reminded
of the old phrase, 'just because you are a character, doesn't mean you
have character'.
Football's great characters - George
Best, Eric Cantona, Paul Gascoigne, Paolo di Canio - filled column
inches off the pitch, but however serious their indiscretions without
the ball, they demanded headlines for what they achieved with it.
