Good point about the free kicks...Suarez scored some vital free kicks, Gerrard isn't quite as potent with them as he used to be. I know Lambert can hit them too, but Mario has scored some stunners

His interview is blunt. But i like his honesty. He's no arse licker.

Spot on. Didn't say anything inspiring but at least didn't kiss ass. Anyhow its actions not words that matter.

SSN saying it's a 3 year contract. Is that right?

If so, is it 3 years with the option of a 4th?

He better let him take the free-kicks.
Stevie doesn't generate power for free kicks anymore. Balotelli and Henderson for me.

I think Brendan knew how mega this signing would be. Especially for the kids.

He is a massive name. Whether you like it or not. Mario is worldwide and Mario is box office.

We can all relax now.

Knowing that we have another high class striker to lead the line incase Sturridge goes down REALLY REALLY is a releif.

Stevie doesn't generate power for free kicks anymore. Balotelli and Henderson for me.

Stevie managed to wrestle about 2 freekicks from Suarez last season and scored them both! That's what it seemed like anyway.

Balotelli will probably be no. 1 kicktaker I imagine though.

Although i like im sure many on here are a bit worried about how this could work out am i being naive in thinking Brendan Rodgers is the ideal personality of manager to get the best out of Balotelli? hes had confrontational types like Jose and Mancini before and maybe that didnt suit him?
