nah i dont agree with that. The hype that he'd gotten as a young player was well deserved.
No it wasn't. Balo is damn near Ryan Leaf status. A bunch of measurables that looked good, tons more immeasurables that looked even better, that hasn't materialized on on the field for more than 2-3 minutes more than 4-5 times in his entire career.

Brehs that got hype as young players have entire seasons of showing promise. Bojan the 07-08 campaign where he looked like the second coming of Messi as a 17 year old. He just never

There's nothing like that for Balo. There's no frame of time where he ever looked special for anything longer than thirty seconds.

I swear, the Balo hype job just doesn't make any sense to me at all.

i see what you mean. But if you were building a CF, you'd want him to have Balotelli's attributes. as cliche as this sounds, i just dont think the mental part there.

i always saw his potential

he was way too greedy though but has sorted that since joining liverpool

crazy you sold him because of 50 mil torres
It was embarrassing. We had one of the best young talents around but the mugs in charge were hell-bent on appeasing Torres.

The worst thing is that fraud knew Sturridge was better than him. Just after he joined Chelsea he said:

"Daniel Sturridge is also an incredible player — maybe the one that has surprised me the most since I came here."

That's another reason for my Ancelotti slander. All the players would say Sturridge was killing it in training but Ancelotti would keep playing Kalou over him :mjlol:

Sturridge has only scored like 6 more goals this season.....my point is Sturridge aint light years ahead of him :camby:
