As news filters through that AC Milan have shipped their once-celebrated forwards Pato and Robinho back to their native Brazil, a move for Mario Balotelli is surely next on the agenda.

“The time of cheap talk is over. Balotelli is 22 years old and now it’s time to be professional. I ask from him seriousness and commitment in training, a more stable private life and correct behaviour on the pitch,” said the City boss ominously.
