Balotelli would probably cost about £15 million and be on a four year plus deal. Surely that's more of a risk than Adebayor for a season?

Without doubt.

Adebayor is a risk...but Balotelli adds a whole new level and meaning to the definition of risk and waste of money!

Apparently he's being shipped back to Italy at a bargain basement cut price.

It astounds me that Balotelli could be seriously suggested. Unreliable, divisive. Not a player to build a team around.

Adebayor has a great goal scoring record at every club. I'll take that for a season.

Lunch at 15.07? I think not. Adebyor has heralded more new dawns than a herd of Druids. If we get one good season out of him before he gets bored, then great. A loan is ideal as wouldn't want xto get lumbered with his extravagant wages and rider demands- i hear he insists on being addressed as Addy The Great by the entire staff before every game.

If he scores a hat-trick against Man Utd then I'm happy for him to be called whatever he wants.
...except the hat-trick would be in the first half and then the spawny twats would come back and win 4-3 with a 99th minute winner...

 Ballotelli is huge risk but if he comes good for us he would be worth a fortune whereas Adebyour imo is just a waste of money

well if he's so fucking brilliant why are Spuds absolutely  desperate to see the back of him?

So they can start singing nasty songs about him again?

At the time, I thought for £16m he'd be a decent buy for them but he just didn't look interested.

Balotelli?
