3 – Outstanding Football Ability
And finally – he’s quite good at football. Scratch that – he’s very good at football.
Personality aside, most agree that when it comes to ability, Mario Balotelli is one of the best strikers on the planet.
He’s fast, strong, and a clinical finisher. He’d guarantee us goals, and has the ability to create something out of nothing. His style is very different to Olivier Giroud’s too, so he’d give us a different option upfront – something we lacked last season.
It could be argued that Arsenal need Balotelli just as much as Balotelli needs Arsenal, and he is looking more and more likely to join the club this summer with each passing day. If a move does materialise, it could be looked back upon as the one which kick-started the striker’s career, and who wouldn’t want to witness that?
So – transfer perfection, or big money nightmare? Let us know what you think in the comments.
