In an interview with Italian newspaper La Stampa Mancini has stated “He (Balotelli) is one of the four or five strikers that interest us. I was the first to believe in him and I’m convinced about what he can do.”
Balotelli now seems on the brink of signing for Man City, a move that will take Mancini’s summer spending to around the £100 million mark. But do Manchester City really want another petulant striker in their squad? Already they have Craig Bellamy, Emmanuel Adebayor, Carlos Tevez and Robinho, if the collective size of these ego’s already rather large, when Balotelli is added to the mix it will be positively colossal. This is something that could have a very negative effect on Man City’s season, as dressing room divides and player tantrums could easily affect the performances of the team.
Despite being only 19 years old, Mario Balotelli has already carved out a name for himself as being one of the most talented yet troublesome players in Italy. Inter boss Jose Mourinho has endured a very difficult relationship with the Italian teenager throughout his time as manager there.
Balotelli’s perceived lack of effort was highlighted in a game with Roma in 2009 when The Guardian quotes Mourinho as stating “Balotelli? In my opinion he came close to a zero rating.”
The situation between the two became worse when Balotelli was dropped from the squad in Inter’s Champions League second leg tie with Chelsea, after an argument with Mourinho.
Inter defender Marco Materazzi criticised Balotelli in the wake of the game, and ESPN reported that even his own agent Mino Raiola stated Balotelli “Must behave like a professional.”
Later in the year, Balotelli’s relationship with Inter fans reached a nadir when he wore the shirt of bitter rivals AC Milan on national television. Although he is undeniably talented, Balotelli could prove to be more trouble than he’s worth should he move to Eastlands. As Balotelli’s first manager at Inter, maybe Roberto Mancini believes he can get the best out of the player and avoid the histrionics that come as part of the package.
The situation may be exacerbated however, by the fact that City already have their own collection of troublesome young men, particularly in Balotelli’s position up front. Craig Bellamy’s antics are well documented, and he also had a run in with Mancini last season. There is a distinct possibility however, that the Welshman will not be at the City of Manchester when the season begins. Emmanuel Adebayor showed his all his shyness of controversy when he scored against former club Arsenal last season, and is a player who sulks regularly. South American duo Carlos Tevez and Robinho are also known as somewhat temperamental individuals. With perhaps only two positions up front available at any one time, some of these precious characters will have to be content with sitting on the bench, but it is highly doubtful whether they will be. If there is conflict with the coach, or the dressing room becomes divided, it could harm Man City’s prospects this season. If Roberto Mancini is intent on signing another striker, he could be well advised to seek out a more serene individual.
