Now being accused of racism.
What on earth was Rodgers thinking of signing this clown?

To think he could have had Remy for. 6 million less.

He was a bit stupid to post the image but if you read the full details of what it said, he was (in a very naeve way) trying not to be racist. His brain works in a slightly strange way though.

I remember this being widely applauded as an "inspired" signing, with the main arguments being made in defence of it being "well, it's a great piece of business at £16m as Shane Long has gone for £12m and Sunderland are willing to pay £14m for Fabio Borini." All well and good until you realise Long is quietly grafting away and chipping in with the odd goal in for a top 3 side many expected to be at the bottom by now and Borini is as much a £14m striker as I am.

i did read an article arguing once that he is essentially a little mentally unsound, but because he's a famous footballer, it gets laughed off and ignored whereas in the real world, he'd probably be offered help.

The world's gone mad. Can't say anything without someone being offended. Eventually no one will say anything and then people will ask why sportsmen are so bland and boring.

Meanwhile innocent people are dying from disease and war.

He doesnt live in the real world. when you are a 16 million quid striker with a twitter account you'd best be bland or there will be trouble ahead

He was actually making a statement about racial stereotypes that then got turned on him because it was an image he used to make the point.

He isn't the sharpest tool in the box but by the same token those who misread it as being racist are even blunter.

Never knowingly right.

He has to be one of the most over rated footballers I've ever seen, I don't think I've ever seen him have a good game apart from once when Italy beat Germany about 4 years ago,

We have to take an uncompromising line on anything posted on social media that might be considered in any way offensive. Or risk Rio playing for us again.

Seriously, sometimes you just have to roll your eyes and get on with life.

We live in a culture of permanent outrage that blows up stuff like this into a 'story' even though it's just a young guy being a bit of a dick. Is anyone actually offended? Does anyone even care?

Seeing as Remy never plays for Chelsea, he'd have been better off staying with us after the Liverpool debacle.

No but what I do find offensive is how this thick lazy oaf can continues to steal a living.
As Dave B says he's gotta be one of the most over rated players in the history of the game.
Rodgers must have been insane at the time of that transfer completion.

If I was him I would have stayed at AC for another few years. He was in great form over there - and could have returned more mature and probably better!

Chubs I gotta agree with you and Dave on his ability as a player but this point is the politically correct bully boys picking on an easy target in the form of a simple oaf to show the world how Puritanical they are

I'm sorry it's just PC gone mad. The last line is clearly anti Semitic.

You think?

I would never have thought 'grabs coins like a Jew' to be anti-semitic. Not since my lobotomy, anyway.

Not racist on Balotelli's part though - he's just a bit unhinged and slightly lacking in grey matter.
