Balotelli has played well though and in big games, against Rubin Kazan a must win for Inter this past season he scored an amazing fk from like 30 yards, I guess people forget that Inter were on the brink of elimination if not for that game. There was a lot more expected from Diego, he didn't perform how people expected and very quickly the fans turned on him add in a miserable season from pretty much every Juve player minus a couple (Marchisio, Chiellini) and you end up with this situation. Another huge reason he left now is because last season Juve played a 4-3-1-2 Diego playing a very important position of course, Del Neri plays a 4-4-2, he tried him as second striker but you could tell the position just wasn't for him. I do wish he would of had success for Juventus but it didn't happen and after a season like the last one someone has to go from the equation, he may just not be built for Serie A.

well being a professional you have to learn to deal with  criticism and adversity including racism. if they don't like it, go flip burgers at mcdonalds.

obviously racism is a terrible terrible thing, but its never going away. so they need to deal with it and make their millions and play the game they love.

no...you don't need to tell me shit really

"if one player is strong they play always....nn to say age"

he BARELY EVER played at inter and if he did, he was subbed in. and nothing will change at city

"inter mistreated him"
no, that's just fucking wrong. he wore a milan jersey and that's one thing you just don't fucking do when playing for the big rivals
so don't tell me it's the fan's fault

he's a fucking prick and he doesn't deserve any better - and apart from that he is horribly overrated, he hasn't proven anything

and according to Slipknot_EL's definition he is a big time fail and it's not like it's a "different idea", it's contradiction and just incredibly stupid

Of course you say age, you expect a player to hit their prime in their twenties at least.
Cristiano Ronaldo same player as he was at 19? No.

well read up what the discussion is about

and if "a lot of players on his own team" told him to leave it's even more an indication that he's a prick

if it was that easy racism wouldnt be a problem anywhere. criticism is different than racism.  if you were black you would understand...its simply something you cannot just ignore

Italy is full of racism especially lazio. Nonfootballers have to deal with it every day. Racism isn't the reason why he clashed with mourinho. It's  his attitude. Mourinho is known for loving and motivating their players not for backstabbing them because he got another colour. They threw bananas in Oliver Kahns direction as well. Dunno the reason behind this but he could easily handle it cause he's a professional.
