Mancini gives a thick Balotelli hint

Manchester City newly appointed boss Roberto Mancini has hinted about his desire to sign Mario Balotelli from Inter, by declearing his admiration for the young striker. Mancini stated:


"He's great on a technical level, but maybe there are some discussions on his attitude. So that's why everyone talks about him."


"But I can only speak from my own experience. He was always very well-behaved with me. He's a young lad and when you're young you're allowed to make mistakes.


"Can he improve? Ha, he has twenty years, doesn't he? I think that he's the future of Italian football. I agree with Marcello Lippi that he could even be useful for Italy in South Africa (at the 2010 World Cup.)"
