Ouch! Team-mates' prank revenge could cost Balotelli £150k

The Man City striker returned from the team’s US tour to find that something fishy had happened to his Maserati.

MARIO BALOTELLI COULD be in the market for a new set of wheels after his Man City team-mates got some pretty expensive revenge on the prankster, the Sun reports.

The 20-year-old striker returned from the club’s pre-season tour of North America to find a sportsbag packed with rotting kippers stuffed behind the seat of  his white Maserati sports car.

To get rid of the smell, the Italian international — who has gained a reputation as the training ground clown since his move to Eastlands — may have to replace the leather interior or buy a new £150,000 car.

    He doesn’t really do it for me. He shows maybe 10 minutes of potential and then goes missing.
    Plus his attitude and behaviour off the pitch is dreadful. He seems happier to be around Z list celebs than focusing on a future in football.

    @Madra: I’ve been watching him play since he was in the 21s and his work-rate and attitude are very good.
    He runs channels all day, makes space for his attacking teammates and is a nitemare for full-backs.
    Maybe the big PL contact came too early but he’ll come good for us, I’m sure of it.

    Some of the comments aimed at him are nothing more than petty begrudgery, the same type we’ve seen aimed at young Irish high-achievers forever. These same hurlers-from-the-ditch have never achieved anything but are happy to cast down one of our own for showing something different.

    Let’s face it …Kenny is lost in the wilderness.. and as for the Irish squad…those who were picked ..and those who were not….None of them would be guaranteed a start in a under 16 girls team
