4. Mario Balotelli/Mario Mandzukic
Plenty of reports are going around that are suggesting Arsene Wenger is discussing a contract with Mario Balotelli’s agent in Brazil while the World Cup is going on. Whether or not those reports are true, going after Balotelli is something to seriously consider. Balotelli is without a doubt a top class striker that can score wondrous goals but his attitude and immaturity is his major flaw. Wenger doesn’t seem to be deterred by his immaturity and could be the one to tame the Italian international. However, Arsenal could go the safer route in signing Mario Mandzukic. The Croatian international is without a doubt a great striker and would be a great addition to the squad. It’s just a matter of taste or if you’re a “gambling man”. Would you go for the 28 year old, at his potential, and has a good head on his shoulders, or the 23 year old, has room to grow, but can cause problems in the dressing room with his immaturity. So, my question is: are you a gambling man?
