Balotelli Sums Up Boring Transfer Deadline Day With Hilarious Tweet

Another transfer deadline day has come and gone and, yet again, nothing of any note happened, just like it’s not happened on every deadline day since Manchester City signed Robinho in 2008.

Or Back in January 2011, Liverpool spent a fortune on Andy Carroll and Luis Suarez, while Chelsea forked out big money on David Luiz and smashed the British transfer record to sign Fernando Torres.

Carroll even travelled from Newcastle to Merseyside in a helicopter six years ago, it was that bonkers.

But no one summed up the tepid nature of the deadline day this year better than Mario Balotelli, who took to Twitter to share his thoughts on what had been the highlights of the day.

The dealings of clubs across Europe wasn’t of any interest to the Nice forward, who was preoccupied with something else:


For those non-Italian speakers among you, the former Manchester City striker’s tweet reads “The girls on Sky Sport calciomercato are definitely more interesting than the signings being made.”

And then came these…


Balotelli has been in fine form since moving to Ligue Un, scoring 11 goals in 16 matches in all competitions and spearheading Nice’s title push.Related image

So what did we get on transfer deadline day this year?

Odion Ighalo moved from Watford to China for £20 million, Southampton spent £14 million on Napoli’s Manolo Gabbiadini and Robbie Brady moved from Norwich City to Burnley for £13 million.

It wasn’t any more exciting on the continent, either.

January is a notoriously tough time for clubs to purchase players and most of the big teams in Spain, France, Germany and Italy either did their business earlier in the month or avoided the market altogether.

Tuesday must have felt a little unusual for Balotelli, whose name has been linked with various clubs around the world during many transfer windows over the past five or six years.

For the moment, though, the 26-year-old appears to have found himself a home in the form of Nice.
