"We understand that sometimes you have to take a risk with people and normally, a lot of the time, if you take that risk you can get a reward for it," said Rodgers. "We've always said we were looking for another striker.


"We have quite an extensive code of conduct for both staff and players and we have a fantastic environment here. Over the last two years that has been something very important to create and there will be nothing that will shake that."

Rodgers added later "...therefore if, and when wee young Mario tries to, say, light someone's fart in the changing room with an industrial flame thrower, throw darts at the 4th official's lightboard, or p*ss on the tyres of the 27 bus at the stop outside the ground, there are statutes in place to arrange for defensive t shirts of support to be delivered and worn without delay. Its an extension of the fantastic and successful way I dealt with the little fella Suarez and made him train separately until he apologised to me personally...and ok, he never ever did do that, but its what we do at this football club so brilliantly....so it is "

Sturridge, Balotelli, Origi, Lambert, they all play the same position. None can work across the entire front line like Suarez did. Playing any two out of foyr in tandem wouldnt bode well for link up unless tge strategy would basically be to hoof to Lambert and look for the flick on.
 

I love the comparisons that those idiots do to justify a players value. Here is one i found.

' what an incredible bargain ' (they said)

Romelu Lukaku £28m
Mario Balotelli £16m

Lukaku - aged 21.
Of good character, no known disciplinary problems. Good role model for kids.
32 Premier League goals in 67 appearances over 2 seasons.
Goal ratio of 1 goal every 2 games.

Balotelli - aged 24.
Known for off the field incidents, brushes with the law, arrogance, obsession with wealth, fame, binned off by 2 Champions League clubs, not a good role model.
20 Premier League goals in 54 appearances over 3 seasons.
Goal ratio of 1 goal every 3 games.

Basically he's older, not as good, has nowhere near the potential or re-sale value as Lukaku, has got major baggage and could upset the dressing room.

I bought a Bic biro for 10p in Poundland - what an incredible bargain.

This.

And just to add that if Balotelli had to work with the service Lukaku has had he'd have been lucky to have got 15 goals from his 54 PL appearances.
