~~ Telling quote in their about #Swagotelli spreading the Manchester City name around the world… This dude is THE most watched player (mostly for the wrong reasons) both on AND off the field… From his incredible talent on the field to what he’s wearing to what he’s driving, Balotelli is far ahead of Cristiano and right behind David Beckham – closing in fast.

Mario Balotelli is unlikely to leave Manchester City in the January transfer window. According to the manager Roberto Mancini, the club’s owner, Sheikh Mansour, is a big fan of the player and eager to see him fulfil his potential at the Etihad.
“I think Mario will stay but the future depends mostly on him,” Mancini told La Gazzetta dello Sport. “Sheikh Mansour likes Balotelli because he recognises the talent and he exports the name of the City over the world.
“We need to consider that Mario was made as a major investment, and this is not a club that throws its capital through the window.”

Mancini says he remains fond of Balotelli having overseen his development at two clubs but has acknowledged that the 22-year-old must raise his standards of professionalism.
“The relationship between me and him is always good, even if one day he does something,” he continued.
“I love him because for many years we live together. I’ve seen him grow. But the professional relationship is another thing and I’ve told Mario what I need from him.
“The time of cheap talk is over. Balotelli is 22 years old and now it’s time to be professional. I ask from him seriousness and commitment in training, a more stable private life and correct behaviour on the pitch.
“[Roma forward Francesco] Totti is Mario’s best example. If Francesco is able to have this continuity of performance at the highest level at the age of 36 years, it’s because he has behaved as a professional.
