Dalglish: Entertaining times for Liverpool with Balotelli

Liverpool legend Kenny Dalglish insists the signing of Mario Balotelli is no gamble. Speaking at the launch of McDonald's new community partnership with The Scottish FA, Dalglish predicted "entertaining times ahead" for Balotelli.

"Liverpool is the perfect place for him to go," said Dalglish, who managed Liverpool from 1985-1991 and again from 2011-2012.

"It is a happy dressing room. He's got a manager who is not confrontational but at the same time can instil discipline. So if he wants to settle down, I'm sure he will at Liverpool and that he'll be a fantastic asset for the club.

"I think there are entertaining times ahead. He's a fantastic footballer. He will be fantastically received by those wonderful supporters and I'm sure he'll make a huge contribution."
