You say that now, but when Cavani breaks his leg walking into Colney...
Is he going to trip over the spare Diaby someone left laying about?

Didn't Mancini try that?
I wouldn't put much stock in Mancini. He has fallen out with a ridiculous number of players, while Wenger has fallen out with none (to the best of our knowledge). Even those who leave or are sold have nothing but good things to say about him.
Wenger these days is in no way equipped to deal with Mario.

Nope. Wengers only going to spend big on someone he considers to have the right mentality.
And even then he's not going to spend big. We're just talking waiting for the World Cup to start.

Before running off to shag Minnie Driver. How'd you like dem apples.

He's too many generations removed and I reckon he wouldn't have the energy to deal with Mario's issues.
Plus I hear Wenger gives really shit hugs. Like getting a cuddle off a skeleton.
Balotelli doesn't do anything crazy away from the pitch these days; it's mostly a matter of discipline on the pitch (or surrounding the game) that is getting him in to trouble. Wenger will deal with that all day if he thinks it's worthwhile.
But anyway, I'll leave it there because these are only issues if we actually sign him.
Could just send him a big welcome cake and from it out pops a smiling Pat Rice
It's not about Wenger dealing with Balotelli or getting the best out of him. Balotelli has to get the best out of himself. He will be given an honest and fair enviroment at Arsenal and the rest is up to him.

Wenger also signs Dutch,Swedish, Russian, Brazilian, Korean, Ivorian, Cameroonian, Japanese and Norwegian players. Don't let that get in the way of your theory though.
facts, schmacts (chamakhs?)
speaking of which, moroccans, too. and swiss, english, welsh, italian...

He's being scapegoated at Milan right now because they've just had their worst season in two decades and he was the big signing last year. He has comfortably been one of their three or four best players. I hesitate to bring it up, but there is a race factor too that will always work against him in Italy; much more so than in England. He even gets abused when he's with the national team.

How is Seedorf treated though.
Seedorf says he's seen it all in terms of racism. I remember him being quite vocally opposed to Boateng's walk-off last year, saying it won't halt racism. Racism is real in Southern Europe. The black experience in England or the States is very different from on the continent.

I'd take the one who scored more than Giroud this season.
