Paul Wilson over at The Guardian certainly seems to think so in his article:
“Following his performances for Italy, particularly in the jaw-dropping semi-final win over Germany, Balotelli should go straight to the head of the queue of Manchester City strikers, although that is quite a long queue and they still might bring in Robin van Persie or Gonzalo Higuaín. Roberto Mancini is continuing to talk about Balotelli needing to mature and improve his behaviour, though surely this most protracted of adolescences is now over. Balotelli is not an enfant terrible any more, even if he may still need adult supervision on bonfire night. He has shown he can be one of the most lethally effective strikers around, and in the coming season City really ought to cash in on Mancini’s vision and foresight in bringing him to the club at such a tender age.”
