Arsenal Bid €30m For Inter Striker Balotelli; Mourinho Responds With Cesc Fabregas Request Arsenal have bid €30million for Inter striker Mario Balotelli, but Jose Mourinho wants Cesc Fabregas as part of the deal, according to a report. La Gazzetta Dello Sport states that the young Italian is ready for an exit despite his current deal expiring in 2013. The report claims Balotelli's relationship with Jose Mourinho has become strained, and a January exit is on the cards. However, clear-the-air talks are expected between Mourinho and the Palermo-born striker ahead of the transfer window. Voices suggest that Inter would be willing to offload Balotelli, but only if the Gunners insert captain Fabregas as part of the deal. Neither club has added any substance to the report, but Fabregas recently hinted he wanted to finish his career at the club. "I am at a great club, with a great team and am happy," the Spaniard told PA Sport last week.
Re: Arsenal Bid €30m For Inter Striker Balotelli; Mourinho Responds With Fabregas Req LOL, shut up, Jose. If Fabregas goes anywhere it will be to Spain.
Re: Arsenal Bid €30m For Inter Striker Balotelli; Mourinho Responds With Fabregas Req Why not Inter? lol Jose will get anyone he wants IMO.
Re: Arsenal Bid €30m For Inter Striker Balotelli; Mourinho Responds With Fabregas Req Uh, not at all, CK, sorry. Jose would like to think he can get anyone he wants, but the truth is, he can't. Nobody can. Not even Mark Hughes & co. Jose doesn't obviously think he can get Fabregas with this deal, it's just his way of saying "fuck off" to any talk of Balotelli leaving (would be a great signing, by the way).
Re: Arsenal Bid €30m For Inter Striker Balotelli; Mourinho Responds With Fabregas Req I always thought players love Jose. It all comes down to money and the coach I think.
Re: Arsenal Bid €30m For Inter Striker Balotelli; Mourinho Responds With Fabregas Req Players love Jose but that hasn't resulted in him getting everyone he wanted. It's not like he pulled half of the Chelsea team along with him to Italy as he expected to.
Re: Arsenal Bid €30m For Inter Striker Balotelli; Mourinho Responds With Fabregas Req Half of the team was sad when he left and wanted to leave as well. I've never really liked Jose, I think he's arrogant, but players seem to like him.
Re: Arsenal Bid €30m For Inter Striker Balotelli; Mourinho Responds With Fabregas Req ^ Wanting to join him in Milan is not the same as actually doing it. Jose is arrogant but he treats his players correctly, it seems.
Re: Arsenal Bid €30m For Inter Striker Balotelli; Mourinho Responds With Fabregas Req Jose is a good manager, just a bit too mouthy.
Re: Arsenal Bid €30m For Inter Striker Balotelli; Mourinho Responds With Fabregas Req He thinks he's god. That's what I get from him during games and press interviews.
Re: Arsenal Bid €30m For Inter Striker Balotelli; Mourinho Responds With Fabregas Req Yeah, if I reached that level of football I'd be the same.
Re: Arsenal Bid €30m For Inter Striker Balotelli; Mourinho Responds With Fabregas Req Maybe fame and money changes you. (not meaning you, just in general saying you) I would think I'd stay the same, down to earth, etc.
Re: Arsenal Bid €30m For Inter Striker Balotelli; Mourinho Responds With Fabregas Req Maybe, I'll never know unless it happened.
