GIALLOROSSI YORKSHIRE Q&A
Reports have been growing linking Mario Balotelli with a summer move to Roma.
The Nice striker is out of contract at the end of June, and Roma have been suggested as potential suitors. But would this be a good signing for Roma? See what I think, and leave your opinion with a comment. Would it be good for Roma to sign a striker who's scored 31 goals in the past two seasons? A player at his prime age of 27? And to get that player on a free transfer? Yes. What if that player was Mario Balotelli? I'm torn. Balotelli seems to have calmed down a bit in his time in France, whilst maintaining his goalscoring output. But there are never any guarantees with him. He's an eccentric character, and one that could disrupt harmony in the squad. Bare in mind that Roma already have Edin Dzeko and Patrik Schick in the centre forward position. The former is a world class striker who has been invaluable to the team both this season and last. The latter is a hot property for the future, who could achieve big things next season. 2017-18 hasn't been the easiest beginning to Schick's Roma career, but now with a couple of goals under his belt, he could kick on in 2018-19. Bringing Balotelli in could disrupt that progress, and that would be bad considering the investment the club made in Schick. Therefore, it could point to the departure of Dzeko, something I wouldn't be too happy about, given the Bosnian's all-round quality and passion for the team. Balotelli has revitalised his career at Nice, and would probably score a lot of goals if he signed for Roma, but only at the detriment of a player already at the club. I have too much faith in Schick and too much appreciation of Dzeko to fully get behind this move. What do you think? Would you be happy if Roma signed Balotelli?
