As speculation finally comes to an end, Mario Balotelli has sealed his move from Inter Milan to the Eastlands. The fee is said to be around 24 million and will spark even more questions around how manystrikers City actually need? This will surely see Craig Bellamy and possible Roque Santa Cruz prized away from the blue side of Manchester as competition for places hots up even more. With Tevez, Adebayor, Bellamy, Jo, Santa Cruz, Benjani and Balotelli on the books it seems the scene is set for at least 2 departures.
Having also brought in the likes of David Silva, Yaya Toure, Aleksandar Kolarov and Jerome Boateng City will hope to challenge for the title this term. I personally think it might take them a few more years to find the best fit for Roberto Mancini, but there is no doubt he has an extremely powerful squad to work with!
“I think that Mario is one of the best players of his age in Europe, and I very happy to be working with him again,” the manager told City’s official website. “His style of play will suit the Premier League, and because he is still so young there is a big chance for him to improve. “He is a strong and exciting player, and City fans will enjoy watching him.”
