Newcastle United ace Joey Barton says Manchester City boss Roberto Mancini has his work cut out handling Mario Balotelli.
Balotelli is the talk of English football today after his showboating against LA Galaxy saw Mancini hook him after just 30 minutes.
Former City star Barton tweeted: "Mario Balotelli is fully off his barnet.........from now on am referring to him as 'The Renegade'.......he amuses me greatly with his antics.
"'The Renegade' is definitely mentally unstable, some of his stunts are the ultimate in lunacy. How do u manage such a complex person??
"I was a complete bellend at times. No doubt about it. No denial of that from me......but I've grown and changing considerably as a man."
