Winter Transfer Speculation and Shit.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Just as it turns February 1st.

[Power n Glory]

Ronaldinho is available on a free transfer. Has he still got the magic?

Another wildcard punt - Balotelli? Worth the risk or too much trouble?

[Marc Overmars]

Balotelli is better than anything we have.

Sign him up.

[Power n Glory]

Wenger has tamed many wild players in his time. Balotelli knows the Prem, has the physical strength and pace...it could work.

[Xhaka Can’t]

Balotelli would be interesting, to say the least. Only worth signing if we have the financial capability to take on the risk he represents.

[BOBN]

Balotelli is worth the risk as he has A-level potential and all the other A-level centre forwards are out of reach (Ibra, Suarez, Ibrahimovic, Aguero, Zlatan)

Plus he and Giroud will mesh well in terms rotation as Balotelli has everything Giroud doesnt - Athleticism and talent. Only problem is Wenger isnt really the tactician who will pick a side based on the opposition.

[Blink 1nce Quince 2wice]

I would question Wenger's ability to handle a character like Balotelli personally. If he went off the rails which isn't beyond the realms of possibility, that would most certainly be it as I can't really see Wenger getting through to him.

He beats Ian Wright for being able to pick a fight in an empty room, but talented he is. He may be a wild card, but I imagine his price will be more reflective of his ability rather than the fact he is somewhat of a maverick, which does add weight to the gamble.

Balotelli would be a great signing, top class striker with huge potential, miles better than anything we have for sure.

Wenger's style of management would suit Balotelli as well, he wants to be pampered and Wenger loves to do this to his players.

Which manager, up till now, has had the ability to 'tame' him?

That's right. None have.

Not sure about Baloteli, I don't really think he produces enough to befit his talent, not even taking in to consideration how mental he is. Very good pelanty taker though.
