Funny hats, water bombs and white Maseratti's

Mario Balotelli is a 20 year old Italian footballer. In 2010 he moved to Manchester City from Inter Milan for £24 million. He earns £100,000 a week and drives a white Maserati.

£100,000 A week is a lot of money. For anyone, let alone a 20 year old.

HOT!!!!

Balotelli's relatively short career has been nothing short of conversational. He's outspoken, arrogant and at times can portray himself as a spoiled brat, on and off the field.

He played for Inter Milan, albeit being an outspoken, lifelong AC Milan fan. Inter's bitter rivals. No surprise then when he went on national television wearing an AC Milan shirt whilst still being an Inter player.

Playing for City

On Sunday, he was caught on camera throwing water bombs (with his brother Enoch) at a meeting of Serie A clubs in Milan. He should've been at the Manchester City end of season dinner (where he was named young player of the season) but had excused himself for personal reasons.

He has been fined £300,000 this season for various misdemeanours, including throwing darts at the Man City youth team. This is the type of shit he does. It's classic.

Balotelli's talent cannot be questioned

He doesn't just cause shit though. After winning £25,000 in a Manchester casino he gave a beggar £1,000. He has also been seen to give away £20 notes to guys selling the Big Issue without even taking the magazine.

So, the troubled young striker clearly has a softer side. Good for him. He also has a unique sense of style, starting a trend in Manchester after wearing a hat that looks like cow's udders.

Trend setter?

Personally, I like this guy. He wears funny hats, throws water bombs and gives to the poor. A modern day Robin Hood meets Crusty the Clown. What's not to like?

Don't answer that.
