Arsenal legend Ian Wright feels Manchester City firebrand Mario Balotelli is over-rated.

Wright believes City should dump the Italian in the summer.

He told The Sun: "Roberto Mancini has been very, very patient and given him more chances than he'd get off most.

"But although people said Mario was the man who could win City the title, in my book he's done more to cost them.

"Apart from a couple of important penalties and the odd flash of brilliance, I've not seen it.

"In fact, his temperament in the last knockings of the title race has proved he is more of a liability."
