Mario Balotelli Bargain Claim Comes Back to Haunt 'Drunk' Jamie Carragher

Jamie Carragher has seen the error of his ways 12 months after proclaiming the arrival of Mario Balotelli as a bargain for Liverpool.

Brendan Rodgers spent £16 million on the Italian in August 2014, but the former Reds defender has joked that he must have been drunk when suggesting it was a good deal for the club at the time.

Sure enough, parody account @DeludedBrendan delivered the goods, providing a screenshot to Carragher's original column in the Daily Mail.

Thanks Brendan! A bargain compared to Ross McCormack which I think is a fair comment!! https://t.co/mZiXUvBnLR

The former England defender might have a point about McCormack, but he's certainly happy to see the back of Balotelli as he moves to AC Milan on a season-long loan, per BBC Sport.
