Some AC Milan fans might think they got a raw deal on Tuesday when Mario Balotelli became the latest Premier League flop to return 'home' in a quest to resurrect his career.

Of them all, Balotelli's return to Milan on a one-year loan deal following a disastrous first season with Liverpool is by far the most controversial.

Loved and hated in equal measure, the 25-year-old continues to divide fans and mystify the pundits who believe there is still so much more to come from a player whose controversies far outweigh his true achievements in the game.
