The Manchester City bad boy is one of the Premier League’s great love/hate figures, with his antics dividing football fans. The Italian has caused many problems for his team in the past, including being sent off in the vital game against Arsenal towards the end of last season, which could have had serious consequences for Manchester City’s title challenge, while his performances have varied from match to match. He has been fined a fortnight’s worth of wages because of his number of yellow and red cards at the end of the 2011/12 season, while speculation has been growing all season that he could leave in January. However, despite the criticism he has faced, but has been praised for having personality.
