Upon confirmation that the eccentric Italian had completed a permanent move to French side Nice prior to the closure of the transfer window, the pair took to Twitter, making their disgust for the attacker known.
Balotelli on a free is still paying over the odds by Nice.

Reports suggest Balotelli, who scored a mere four goals in 28 appearances for the Reds, joined Nice on a free transfer, fuelling Carragher's comment.
Collymore was significantly more harsh in his assessment of Balotelli, whose career has sputtered after showing immense promise early on.
Balotelli. Give him 6 months at Nice, then an "ambitious" Championship club, etc etc.

Retire already.
How do you really feel, gents?
