Dugarry doesn't think Balotelli will shine

As many already know, everybody has given up on Mario Balotelli completely, that's the reason Liverpool didn't even want to ask for a single cent for his transfer to Nice. The lack of trust in him goes so deep, that some football personalities have even stated that Liverpool should've been the one paying Nice for taking this problematic player from their sight. But the criticism doesn't end there, French former international Christophe Dugarry had his say in the whole deal. 

Talking to RMC, he said: "Balotelli? Next to him, Ben Arfa is a choirboy. [Jean-Pierre] Rivere is an interesting and intelligent president [but] I'm not convinced this is the right choice. It was absolutely necessary to [sign] an attacker. [With Balotelli] it's double or quits. You know if the guy returns to his level he will perform. But this kid does not light on all floors (lacks intelligence). I think it's already too late."

The most likely scenario for Balotelli will be him failing as it is expected from him, but it would be nice to watch him get better and earn his way back to the Italian national team just to silence everyone who doubted him. However, this seems like a nearly impossible scenario.
