Saint Matty 76 Posted 10 January, 2018 Share Posted 10 January, 2018 Would be nice to have a forward who isn't a complete pussy. 16 in 21 this season as well so he's in great form. Doubt it's true though and would love to know where the apparent whisper came from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ivan Katalinic's 'tache Posted 10 January, 2018 Share Posted 10 January, 2018 He’s done well at Nice. Maybe he’s calmed down a bit. Certainly talented & knows where the goal is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AK Posted 10 January, 2018 Share Posted 10 January, 2018 It wouldn’t surprise if this is just recirculated rumours from Leandre Griffit’s tweets. I think you are spot on. Its probably based on this article which in turn is based on Griffit's tweets and other tweets by random Saints fans. https://www.footballfancast.com/premier-league/southampton/southampton-fans-think-they-are-signing-mario-balotelli-after-he-misses-nice-game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suhari Posted 10 January, 2018 Share Posted 10 January, 2018 Wonder if this is a recirculation of the rumour from a couple of weeks back? I also wonder how he'd react to Redmond and Tadic's average attacking play, and repeatedly not playing him in..... presumably he'd do something crazy like shave their cat.

Saint86 Posted 10 January, 2018 Share Posted 10 January, 2018 Whisper says Mario Balotelli is on his way from Nice Honestly think this is just recycled gunf from previous tweets. Sadly.

ALWAYS_SFC Posted 10 January, 2018 Share Posted 10 January, 2018 Someone would give him a "welcome back" tackle and he would smash them in the face and get a record ban and miss loads of games.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SKD Posted 10 January, 2018 Share Posted 10 January, 2018 But we don`t create chances Fair point. Although we do look better with a focal point of our attack (when Austin plays). Still think we would also need: Quick winger (I like the look of Pione Sisto that played for midtjylland. Now at Celta Vigo and has 3 goals and 10 assists this season). Creative central player (a shame Wilshere is now getting games, he'd have been perfect). Right sided CB - (Yoshida and Stephens not good enough, if you ask me).

Saint_Ash Posted 10 January, 2018 Share Posted 10 January, 2018 I think it would be great, we have nothing else to enjoy, why not have Balotelli in to give us some chuckles and score goals on the way. He was world young player of the world once he definitely knows where the goal is and personally think he would be an immense signing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Millbrook Saint Posted 10 January, 2018 Share Posted 10 January, 2018 Knowing our manager he probably wouldn't play him till April as he needed integrating into the squad, he'd have to coach more defensive duties and remove any spontaneity from his play before he could be trusted to step on to the field.

Saint Billy Posted 10 January, 2018 Share Posted 10 January, 2018 I think this is the normal transfer twaddle we get and then we sign a player unheard of.

Manuel Posted 10 January, 2018 Share Posted 10 January, 2018 I'd say for most of our games we've had as many chances as our opponents, just fail to convert them. Even the Spurs debacle, we had 16 shots each, 7 on target for them 6 for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heisenberg Posted 10 January, 2018 Share Posted 10 January, 2018 Hard to imagine Leslie and Mario in the same room, let alone Leslie inspiring and negotiating a transfer. Leslies powers of persuasion are hugely assisted when players are rotting on other teams benches or the promise of tripling wages.....those bits of candy ain't going ti tempt Mario as hes a first team regular and already earns **** loads at Nice. Leslie would therefore have to rely on his charm and Ralph would need to keep the "small club" chat to a minimum..... Can't see Mario dumping Mino Raiola for Leslies son either.......

angelman Posted 10 January, 2018 Share Posted 10 January, 2018 He's talented. He's got a point to prove. He ain't going to be treated by us like he was at City.

I agree Glasgow, although I think you are overlooking the true threat to Weed's supremacy racket here. Railoa would take the players away from Weedy's son.
