Annoying assisted controls.

Default is semi-assisted for most, right? Would that be OK?

No troll is too much for me to handle. I rehabilitate trolls, I train people. I am the Troll Whisperer.

Comparison of the last 3 full seasons...

Mario Ballotelli: average of 16.66 goals, £16 million
Wilfried Bony: average of 25 goals, £12 million
Christian Benteke: average of 18.33 goals, £7 million
Michu: average of 15 goals, £2 million

Still a bargain?

How many players in that list sell more jersey than Balotelli though?

Look at where those players played. Bony was at Vitesse in the Eredivisie.

Benteke was bought for 7 Million when he had one season of 16 goals in the Belgian league. Michu had one good season in La Liga with 15 goals and last season in the BPL he scored... twice.

None of them are massive, world class footballers though, which is why they all play for Swansea or Aston Villa and havent been picked up by a Man City, AC Milan or Liverpool.

Balotelli's last season in the BPL he scored half of that.... only once! Michu may not have been picked up by an AC Milan, but he was picked up by Napoli, a team that has finished above AC Milan the last 2 seasons.

Sure Balotelli could be a good player for them but it's a 16 million pound gamble not a bargain.

He then went on to score 26 league goals in 43 league games for Milan, which is a fantastic ratio.

Instead of seeking to convince others, we can be open to changing our own minds, and seek out information that contradicts our own steadfast point of view. Maybe it’ll turn out that those who disagree with you actually have a solid grasp of the facts. There’s a slight possibility that, after all, you’re the one who’s wrong.
