He has a bit more finesse than Diego but yes, they are quite similar. He's better on the ball - i.e. knows his limits. Diego thinks he's Messi sometimes.

One thing he does exceptionally well, especially for a player with his level of skill, balance and quickness of feet, is his ability to shield the ball and plant his body in front of the ball to absorb challenges. He wins a lot of fouls because of this skill and has also won his side more than a handful of penalties this season. Seeing footage of him receiving the ball in the box and somehow manage to get himself fouled is hilariously brilliant stuff. He's a wily one.

Ballbag Tancredi reporting we had a 60M euros bid + bonus turned down. Torino want 100M euros as thats his release clause....

€60mil bid and €40mil bonuses, but Torino is rumoured to want a €100mil bid.

We should just offer them the whole sum, if Costa is going to China for something simillar. We are going to spend alot on a new striker regardless, might as well buy the best one we can get.

Fascinating if true.

1. No way that amount would be offered for a backup. This would imply that the club expects Diego leave.

2. In any case, it's hard to imagine Belotti would join any club where he is not expecting to be the starter. The club would be able to work that out as well as we can. Even if they hoped to persuade him to compete with Diego, the lad's representatives would quickly rule that out. If, despite this, the bid is true, this implies again that Diego is moving on.

3. Is Belotti the right choice to replace a departed Diego? As a direct replacement, yes he definitely is in my opinion.

I've been very open with my want for this player, however I am a little concerned about dealing with Torino. They have cash from recent sales and Belotti doesnt seem like the type to cause a fuss so he can move. IF these reports are true I am over the moon that we are targeting him as I think he would thrive in the PL and with us especially but the negotiations will be 0 fun haha get Marina on this one.

If we're going to spend massive money on a striker why not throw it all at Monaco for Mbappe? The most sought after player in the world at the moment and Monaco are a selling club. Try to get him before Real Madrid or Barca are after him.

Belotti looks nice but it's surely a huge risk to spend crazy money on him. Mbappe looks a sure thing.

Chelsea have see their £51m plus £34m in add ons offer for Andrea Belotti rejected by Torino as the Italian club want the full £85m paid up front, according to a report in the Express.

The goal @ 33 secs makes me dream of him in the PL, what a monster in the air.

 

[Special Juan 27,099]

The final header is every bit as good.

[Pizy 17,860]

His celebration is so cringey...

With all talent Moncao have I think they will try to keep him Mbappe himself said he's not ready to move to a big club even the Russian owner said he's not for sell  I think Monaco would sell Sliva before they would sell Mbappe this summer

The guy is a very energetic, intense striker, reminds me of tevez. Doesnt loose his ball easily. 

Fights for every ball in the air. But €100 million is expensive as hell. 

Mbappe = Plays like Henry. €50-60mil 

Andrea Bellotti = Plays like Tevez but is also a monster in the air. €100mil 

Who to choose???

Mbappe for 50-60? you have to know that Mbappe will be as expensive/more expensive than Belotti will be. 

Edit: I know its the express but still " anything under £112m set to be rebuffed "
