you forgot that balotelli is 24 and rodrigo 32. like it was mentioned, balo played at his boyhood club while palacio was supposed to be this washed up old second striker who turned out to be smth else. not to mention the physical serie a defenders...
I think it is the opposite. Palacio in the last season and year before that was in the peak of his career(after turning to 32 strikers usually starts to decline). He had the experience and it is said that you can still develop your fitness level till you are about 30 years old.
As for Balotelli is only 24 years old and he should still develope his game. So from Mario you shouldn't expect the best performances yet.

Failure can be more than just on a footballing front...
No it can't, when we speak about how Mario played.
He joined his boyhood club, the club that caused him to leave Inter, and he's left after 18 months? If that isnt failure I dont know what is.
Milan didn't caused him to leave Inter it was Mario himself.
