Fenham Mag Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 I'm not Why is he automatically better because he's a striker playing for Man City? He is inconsistent as anything. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AyeDubbleYoo Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 Balotelli has done very little so far. No doubt he's massively talented. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest firetotheworks Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 I didn't say he was automatically better. He just is. I love Santon like, but howeh. In fact don't. I can't be arsed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mole_Toonfan Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 Balotelli is overrated to all hell i'm not one to go on about Balo because he's Johnny Foreigner and thus he's rubbish but seriously even his talent is not as good as some people go on. He's not even the best Italian striker around at the moment for me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beren Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 I'm not Why is he automatically better because he's a striker playing for Man City? He is inconsistent as anything. Mario is a luxury only Man City can afford. He couldn't get sent off every 6 games for another club, or be stroppy during games to the point he could be replaced with a Dzeko or a Tevez after 30 minutes. He's a talent, sure - but a massive unreliable brat. Santon is a man. And what a man. *insert old spice advert here* Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TaylorJ_01 Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 I've been more impressed with Santon here than Balotelli there. There may be some bias, though. I just love me some Davide. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fenham Mag Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 Santon would be a better striker. Ok, now I'm taking the piss. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sammys_Tekkers Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 Fell in love with him quite early into his career here. His improvement since he joined is wonderful, from looking pretty shacky at the start of last season to becoming pretty solid towards the end of it, and now is consistently one of our best players. Hope it continues and he can grab a goal or two before the end of the season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest hydeous Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 Love that he's now getting shots off from the edge of the box after cutting in. I'd like to see him add more to his game though. Maybe slip Cisse in instead of shooting, maybe jink back outside and put a ball in across the face of the goal. I'm sure he'll be adding all this to his game over the next couple of seasons. Great to see him develop like he has. Super player, can't wait for his first goal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beren Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 Not to beat the same old drum hydeous, but there is precious little movement about him when he goes on those runs a lot of the time. If you think about how many men he ends up dragging inside, if he could reverse a ball out wide to a re-overlapping attacking forward on our left, think of the room they'd have! Anyway, I'm hoping we build on Wigan and our players start to be a bit braver in their movement. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bowlingcrofty Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 That would change if you had both HBA and Marv in the team with him. Jonas stifles any movement we have down that flank. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest hydeous Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 You're right, Beren. Just realised he hardly ever has 'help' when he goes on those runs. I really like the way Baines plays those 1-2's with one of the midfielders when he makes his runs and takes a shot. Santon does it all himself!

His off-the-ball runs are fucking sensational in all honesty. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mole_Toonfan Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 Baines never had that understanding at Santon age either i'm sure Santon will grow and develop that understanding as he goes on. Although i think it would help if Santon had someone else in front of him on the left side who actually you can link up effectively with because lets be honest Jonas isn't the best partner as far as movement and linking up goes. He's light years behind Pienaar for example. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
