Lost money on the deal too if the 17 mil is true. Balo gone, Tevz rejected a new deal, and Kun too big for that club. Its all beginning....... *evil laugh*
Serious though, I loved him at Internazionale, hated him because of where he signed, Im just glad I can start to enjoy him again now! Milan, watch out, Mr Barwuah is coming to paint the town red.

AC Milan vice president Paolo Berlusconi used a racist slur to describe newly acquired forward Mario Balotelli during public remarks at a political forum in Italy.
Berlusconi, younger brother of the club president Silvio, described Balotelli, who is black, as "n------- di famiglia," an Italian slur meaning "the family's little n-----."
The utterance came at a political meeting in Monza near Milan and was caught on film by local reporters and is being shown on the website of Italian newspaper La Repubblica.
It has already caused outrage in Italy, especially after Milan's midfielder Kevin Prince-Boateng won plaudits from Berlusconi senior for walking off the pitch after being racially abused during a friendly in early January.
Paolo Berlusconi was attending a rally for a candidate for his brother's right-wing People of Freedom party when he made the comments.
He said: "Okay, we are all off to see the family's little n-----. He's a crazy head. All the young ladies are invited as well -- you can even have a chance to meet the president (Silvio Berlusconi)."
Italy international Balotelli joined AC Milan from Manchester City on transfer deadline day last week and scored twice on his debut against Udinese on Sunday.Comment

this is being taken out of context, it has a different meaning in the italian language
"It is absolutely not the equivalent of "nigger" - no where close in fact. "Nigger" is an aggressively racist term in English. It is brutal and as loud as a gun shot. There is no room for debate about intention in English when "nigger" is said. He did not say that.
However, what he said is not a colloquialism nor is it a harmless little sobriquet either. A broad equivalent would be an English person saying "Paddy" or "Mick" in reference to an Irish person (though I may be misinterpreting the level of offence in this too). It is pointed and disdainful, condescending and ignorant, and absolutely not a neutral term.
It isn't overtly hateful, but it is undoubtedly quite racist. One can ascribe a certain amount of casualness and unguardedness to the comment that does relieve it of some of the offensiveness but the case could be made, and probably should be made, that casual and unthinking comments of that nature is what prejudice and hatred feed thrive on and make the more overtly repulsive forms of racism so much more difficult to combat.
The man is a crook and a bigot and Italy and the world would be better off without all of them. They are a joke and a source of comedy for many people. But they are much more destructive than that."
from reddit, basically theres a slight undertone of disrespect, as this family that is the part owner of milan have known to be bigots, and everyone in italy is aware, but its not as bad as everyone is making it out to be

I figured the translation was a little bit extreme. Couldn't imagine him actually coming out and saying those exact words.Comment
