1) Balotelli provoked Rio and he took the bait
2) Tevez is most likely leaving and you have no proven PL goalscorer to take his place, He has scored 19 goals and only Berbatov has more, so i think you would struggle without Tevez
1) Exactly - Rio took the bait; shouldn't react.
2) Not sure Tevez is necessarily leaving..
3) City have plenty of players who can score goals - if they feel they don't and Tevez leaves, I'm sure they'll invest.
