Italian striker Mario Balotelli, though controversial is a massively
talented player. He has scored some amazing goals in Premier League and
Serie A. He is person who hogs the limelight wherever he goes. For
obvious reasons, his acquisition seemed like a big gamble by Brandon
Rodgers. Balotelli's reputation for bad behaviour and indiscipline is
widespread. He is someone who some managers deem unmanageable. His past
record speaks for himself.
However, for Liverpool's manager who has successfully managed Luis Suarez, the troublesome striker, managing Mario Balotelli shouldn't be a difficult prospect. It is understood that Liverpool’s contract offer to Balotelli is expected to include clauses on conduct and behaviour that exceed standard practice. He will be under the supervision of a manager who tamed the wildest beast and brought best out them.
As for Balotelli, I believe he will achieve success in Anfield. He is quick, strong and clinical. A key member of the Manchester City squad that clinched the title in 2012. Italian giant AC Milan signed him and he didn't disappoint. Balotelli made 43 starts for Milan, in which time he scored 28 goals, which is a superb record by any standard.
He is the 'marquee' signing that Liverpool needed, competition that Daniel Sturridge requires. Rickie Lambert always knew what his role would be. He is a player that opposition would want to contain. Also, with Champions league coming back to Anfield, Balotelli can become the player Rodgers can rely upon to fire them to glory, provided he unleashes his potential on the main stage.
Apparently at £16 million, Liverpool has signed a potential bargain given the quality of the player. It will be interesting to see the how the italian striker adapts to life at Liverpool. Difficult footballers are often worth the trouble - just take Suarez for example.
