Ballotelli anyone - in jest , I know he wouldnt come here but pretty explosive photos from his bust up today-

By Rob Burnett | 03/01/13 

Roberto Mancini and Mario Balotelli had to be pulled apart by Manchester City players and staff after a furious bust-up at training today.

These extraordinary pictures show the City boss and Italian striker physically grappling at the training ground this morning.

Mancini was incensed by a mis-timed tackle by the 22-year-old forward.

Balotelli squared up to his manager who reacted by grabbing the young striker by his training bib.

Staff were forced to intervene and coach Brian Kidd had to get between the two before dragging Mancini away from the player as other staff pulled Balotelli away.

It would be impossible for Ballotelli to get upset by Lambert, he wouldn't understand what the fuck he was saying.

All we need to make it happen is £150,000pw wages!

Balotelli and Benteke! What a frightening prospect. Weimann whipping around them getting shots in while they beat up the defenders and goalkeepers.

I reckon Lambert would be pretty hard, too.

He'd definitely batter Mancini in a scrap

Balotelli put in a bad tackle on Scott Sinclair which triggered it off- I think Sinclair would be a decent signing for us .

He'd first bamboozle him with Glasweigan tongue, then nut him. A bit like he should have done in that cup game. I don't think the word bamboozle is used enough in everyday conversation.

I was thinking about that when they switched off whatever it  was the other month.

What about Benayoun on loan? He'd be like a better Holman, surely.

Perhaps that's how the premier league should be decided. Whoever has the hardest manager wins. I'm glad we've got Lambert!!

I accept I will be in the minority here and to an extent am biting off nose to spite face but I detest the loan system - especially between two clubs in the same division - and prefer it if we buy our own. I know this can make it harder to compete but I was glad Lambert didn't go down the loan route last summer and like the fact that the stripeyfilths best player actually plays for Chelsea and will be off as soon as they want him (a la Kyle Walker - whereas we get stuck with Jenas). Does anyone know what Lamberts track record with loan signings was at Norwich?

Couldn't get in Wet Spams team - we need players with more hunger and physical presence imo.
