Agreement Milan-Liverpool for #Balotelli, fee about €20M on perm deal. His agent Raiola will be in Liverpool in the afternoon #LFC

Sky sports presenter from Italy

Not sure how true this is - but 16m surely is a good deal isn't it? they paid 19m for him but are in a right mess financial wise so maybe are happy just to take a bit less but balance the books?

Mario Balotelli confirmed he'll join Liverpool arriving in sport center: "This one is my last day as Milan player". He'll play for #LFC

[Nom de ploom]

Well, intersting stuff, replace one brilliant oversease player with apenchant for biting folk with....

A potentially brilliant overseas player that (delete as appropriate) annoys people, is petulant, has personal excesses, has a poor fire safety record, gets sent off too many times to be co-incidence....all of the above....

not sure what makes Rogers think he can tame this beast but....might give us something to talk about on mmonday morning...

I'm a bit surprised you're going for Mario but it could be a good buy.

Now I'll be looking forward to seeing HR devouring his nuts on ExtremeTube tonight.

16m is the fee - seems a good deal at that price....

He has gone to training and said its his last day accoring to news rerports in Italy

Shane long was 12m
Ross McCORMACK 11M
Balotelli at 16m seems a bargain

Ayre has done well this year

Overall he does come across as a good egg though. What he did for that bullied kid was great.

[Dan_1981]

If its confirmed at £16m then I think thats a pretty good bit of business.

He's a talented guy, if we can tame the oddness then he'll do well I think.

It was great... but it was also fake.

Don't forget Borini 14m. If the Mario deal comes off, hopefully it will convince Borini his future lies with Sunderland.

[Flip Martian]

Well on the chart for "OMG I didn't see that coming" signings, I guess this trumps most...

If this is all legit and he comes, then as long as he doesn't get sent off very often and scores goals, who cares?

It does feel a bit like when we took Anelka on loan though...

[jammy_basturd]

So if he signs today/tomorrow his first game will be against...
