Manchester City has officially announced the transfer of former Inter Milan striker Mario Balotelli. This has been expected for weeks from the free spenders from Abu Dhabi. Mario is an incredibly talented player that could end up as one of the top 5 players in the world or could self destruct and bring everyone down with him. Is the otherworldly talent worth the headaches of a persona of Balotelli's caliber?
City already has Santa Cruz, Adebayor, Tevez, Bellamy, and for now, Robinho on the roster as fowards. Where will Balotelli fit in and will he have enough composure to wait his turn in musical strikers at City.
On a personal tangent, will the new 25 player list be a problem for any teams other than City. It seems as though City has close to 40 players that are EPL caliber players on their roster. If all are not loaned or transferred in time, how can City's hoarding of talent be a good thing. I am happy that the EPL has instituted the 25 player policy and left a loophole of the 21 and under age rule, but I personally hope that these decisions by City to add more players the the point of being just flat out ridiculous, bites them in the ass.
