My sources are telling me that we're after Aubameyang. She tells me that we have baulked at the Morata fee and aren't prepared to cough up that much for a bench player. Can confirm we won't sign Morata unless Real Madrid drop their asking price below £50m. Take that one to the bank. But word coming in is that we have turned our attention to PEA. I expect this one to get done as the player wants the move (unlike Sandro) and Dortmund are prepared to sell.

Is this guy swimming across the English Channel for his medical?

So if Moses, Matic and Cahill remain starters and we are replacing Costa with an inferior Morata then we have obviously made our starting XI worse...

He is. Couldn't start at Juve or displace a woefully out of form Benzema at RM. Doesn't have any real strengths that will make him a potent striker. Has never had a prolific season and has never lead the line at a top club before.

Tell me where the improvement comes from? No doubt I will just cop abuse for my post but I'd actually like someone to engage me politely and put forward a rational argument that counteracts anything I've said. Some people just don't like the truth and as soon as someone dares to speak up about it they just get personally attacked and called out as "negative".

This guy is rubbish.

Lol if we replace Costa, Matic, Moses and Cahill with Morata, Bakayoko, Danilo and Rudiger we are actually going backwards. I can already see us trying to replace these extremely average players this time next year. Our infamous transfer window where we signed Pedro, Begovic, Rahman, etc would even be better. The truth is we struggle attracting quality players. Even as champions we couldn't sign Lukaku. If we think Real Madrid's scraps, Roma's worst starting defender and Monaco's biggest donkey are going to improve us then we are wrong. There are/were actually very good players available this window. Dahoud, Silva, Aurier, Fabinho, Aubameyang, Belotti, Koulibaly, Alves, van Dijk, etc. yet here we are trying (and struggling) to sign overpriced garbage.

Fake news. Sky just want people to put money on it. There are so many reasons why this would never happen.

Don't worry. All will be revealed and I will be proven correct when Sandro signs a contract extension and recommits to Juve. You'll hear it straight from the horse's mouth. In the mean time, you'll just have to tune in and follow the facts as I have done. Feel free to hit me up whenever something I have said has been disproved and I'll happily admit I'm wrong. Enjoy your day pal.

Andrea Belotti

It's common knowledge that Juventus don't hold players against their will and this was also confirmed recently through a public statement. If Sandro wanted to leave and Juventus received a "significant" bid for him then they would sell him. The only reason why they would keep him is because they've established that he is happy to stay. As that is the case, they will now negotiate a new contract for him and he will be rewarded accordingly. These days players hold all the power and if they really wanted to force a move they could. If you want proof, watch this thing unfold over the next couple of weeks when Sandro recommits to Juventus and we are left with our dick in our hands. If you have followed this well enough you'd have a good idea of which journalists are truthful and which ones are leading you on. Unfortunately I think you're having trouble making that distinction.

I don't give a sh*t what your eyes tell you. Sandro will not hand in a transfer request because he doesn't want to leave. If he wanted to leave, he would push for it. Pretty simple stuff really. Happy to admit I'm wrong if you can prove otherwise.

If he wanted to leave he would've pushed for the move. We tried and we couldn't pull it off now the rumour is dead in the water. Zero chance of it happening. Come back to me when you can prove otherwise. Otherwise run along with your deluded mate.

Yeah go ahead.

Yeah. Why?

"If he wants to leave". He doesn't want to leave. Not my fault you can't read between the lines. Again, no chance.

Lol if you think we are any chance of signing Sandro you are deluded. No hope.

We have as much chance of signing Conti as we do Sandro

Forget about both I reckon. Neither will happen.

I f***ing hope so. IMO... 1. Belotti 2. Lukaku 3. Morata

This rumour is dead

What does it say?

Belotti was a lot more consistent than Lukaku this season. Rarely had a stinker and always managed to find a way to impact games even if he wasn't scoring. He is the real deal. We also signed Kante off the back of one good season. That went pretty well. A lot of players we have signed off the back of one good season and they have flourished. Rarely do you see a player pop up with a world class season and be done with it. I'm not denying Belotti is a risk because he is, but I am convinced by him. I have seen enough and you don't just lose that kind of talent overnight.

He scored more league goals (26 goals, 7 assists) in comparison to Lukaku (25 goals, 6 assists). Torino were bang average as well this season, finishing ninth. Of course there's risk involved but Belotti is the type of striker who will get the most out of himself. His form has also been impressive for Azzurri so he has proven that he can adapt to different teams and different systems. I am therefore not concerned about his transition to the PL. He reminds me of Costa in that he's a fighter. He also has energy that reminds me of Suarez. He's a proper workhorse. In terms of his playing style, he's prolific, he has good vision, he can finish with both feet, he's very good in the air and he's quick. You give him a chance and he'll bury it. Nothing fancy from him, just brutal efficiency. Would be deadly with Hazard and another competent winger feeding him.

Belotti would be a better option than both Lukaku and Morata IMO
