Am I the only one slightly baffled with all this Balotelli attention in the media?.....How can one man, who has done so little, garner so much coverage?
I appreciate he creates column inches with his controversial off field behaviour, but on the pitch he is simply average...Two and a half years at City and you can probably count the number of games where he has made a positive impact on the fingers of one hand.
I could understand it if the likes of Suarez, RVP, Aguero were to suddenly jump ship, but an average player like Balotelli?..
I think it probably just emphasises how much football has descended into the realms of soap opera, that the media likes to concentrate on trivial matters like Balotelli leaving or a player kicking a ballboy, instead of concentrating on actual football talent and matters on the field.
