Balotelli will have to run about quite a lot more if he's to make it at City. He'll never be expected to be Tevez but he has to work a lot harder than that. Against Wolves, he gave an impression of Rodney Marsh on a bad day. It puts Mancini in an impossible position if he's complaining to the players that they did't work hard enough then allows Balotelli to do whatever he wants. Mancini will have no choice but to demand the same workrate from Balotelli & if he won't do it he simply can't play in the team.
He's not match fit yet though so he needs time to get up to speed. A fit, hard working version of Balotelli would be unstoppable imo.
