Mario Balotelli (Liverpool)
Signing Mario Balotelli was always going to be a risk for Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers, something that the Northern Irishman has admitted himself, and so far it has not really paid off, with Balotelli struggling to find the back of the net for his new club. The Italian’s work rate has been exemplary but, if he is unable to at least contribute to the goals burden that has been placed on the rest of the team by Luis Suarez’s departure, he will be deemed a failure.
