Man City Transfers: 5 Reasons Mario Balotelli Needs To Leave

By Martin Blessing / January 6, 2013

reportedly ready to pounce, here are five reasons Mario needs to leave Manchester.

5. Ability

For a 22 year old earning over a hundred thousand per week, you would expect to see performances like no other. Yet I see nothing but mediocre football being played from Mario and I am starting to wonder what all the fuss was about. Some may argue that he hasn't hit his peak yet and still has a few years before you will see his true brilliance, but then that begs the question of why is on such a lucrative salary? I can't help but think Roberto should have left Mario in Italy until he matured in to the so-called striker everybody expects him to be.

4. Cost

This point half links with the previous one in the sense that Manchester City would be a whole lot better off if they had a spare 100k a week to spend on someone who will put in perfomances on the pitch. One hundred thousand pounds a week is a lot to churn out every week on a player that causes nothing but bad press for the club, very average displays on the pitch and can't even work out the correct way to operate a training bib!
