He looks impressive on YouTube. I know it's hard to judge players on highlight videos alone, but the thing that I would be most excited to see if he came here, is just how tenacious he is. Very much like Tevez in that respect. £85m is a massive chunk out of the kitty though. 

How much would they want for him though? Probably about the same amount that we seem unwilling to pay for Lukaku..

Come on Chelsea let's swoop for Belotti quick.

He would be my first choice, Lukaku and Morata are too expensive... I'm confident we can get this deal done for around 30-40m.

That's about half what he will cost

I'd like to buy both of his legs...

But if he's Conte's first choice it's because he believes he's best suited to the style of play Conte wants...think the Tourino President is showboating about the price but I'd be surprised if we got him under £70m...

No chance not to a PL club 65 minimum 

The mention of him being Tevez like got my interest.

I only a couple days ago wondered if the man himself fancied one last shot in europe.

Let's get it done. I may even change my name to BelottiBullet.

He's definitely a fighter type.  Can create his own space and doesn't give up on the ball too easily.  Good header of the ball and clinical finishing.  Would not mind him one bit.

 

I do realize the media is drumming the beat in the wake of the Lukaku fiasco, but is there genuine interest on our part?

I f***ing hope so. IMO...

1. Belotti

2. Lukaku

3. Morata

The more I watch this kid the more I like him.  He could be a stud for us.   

Get him nowww....

Make this happen Board!

What's the chances we'll pay £89 million for an unproven italian striker with one good season behind him? You might as well close this thread because this is not happening.
We couldn't even pay that for Lukaku who will break 100 league goals at the age of 24 this season.

I wish everyone would stop talking about Lukaku. I feel as if he's one of my ex-girlfriends that everyone are telling me how good and great she's doing.

He's probably gone, we should move on! On to the next striker we probably won't buy.

Sorry but Immobile has the same profile and scored almost the same goals. He then goes to Germany and Spain and failed completely. He goes back in Italy and score 26 goals, just 2 less then Belotti. That`s told you enough how bad the Serie A is.

 

 

Supposedly he won't be sold for anyhting less than his buyout of £87m. 

If we were unwilling to pay £75m for Lukaku, then this one is basically a non-starter.

Sorry but he's not proven to spank 100 euros on...Morata is our best bet...proven in two leagues and more suitable to our style of play...

Really ? In Italy he scored 13 goals in his first season, 9 in his second and was never a regular starter in either season, that isn't just in the league either, that is all competitions. All he has proven in his career so far is that no manager has backed him to be their number striker and that most of his goals have come against bottom of the table teams. If we are going to count Morata as a proven striker, then there are many other strikers out there in the same position. Morata has tons to prove yet and i don't see how anybody can justify the price tag on his head right now, even in this ridiculous market we are now in. I would rather we stick with Batshuayi than go for Morata.

He would be a good signing, not as good as Morata but at least better than Lukaku.

What a strike force of Batshuayi?

In the last 3 seasons 

Morata has scored 47 goals in 6,551 minutes 

Belotti has scored 46 goals 7,427 minutes
