BoyBlue96 990 Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 Rumour has it that Conte is going after Morata if Diego is leaving in the summer. Hasn't been that great for Real Madrid. Wish he went for Andrea Belotti... has been amazing in the Serie A. Very good striker and a lovely guy. Much better than Icardi and at times, better than Higuain in terms of best Serie A striker at the moment. Only Dybala is better. Problem is that Belotti has a 100m buyout clause for non-Serie A clubs. Torino and Belotti have chosen for this so it won't be a Higuain transfer saga volume 2.0. I think he is destined to move to AC Milan, and maybe he should because Milan (and Inter) need to be back at the top of the Serie A and in the Champions League and Belotti would be a great player for them. But I think it's safe to say that this is Costa's final season as a Blue. blues.bridge 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He only started 6 games in La Liga in which he scored 5 goals with 2 assists. I think that is up to Conte to decide which striker suits him best ... Lukaku, Belotti, Morata and Lacazette are all strikers with worldclass potential It's just up to the system and who can adapt better TheIceMan 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is ofcourse a good striker but at the moment, I'm a big Belotti-merchant as he impresses me the most.

akgw13 867 Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 If it is between Morata or Belotti, I would prefer Belotti personally he seems more Costa-esque and a mold of striker conte likes. But conte worked with Morata and helped him grow, I think if Conte had the choice we will be seeing Morata up top next year. Why not both! haha 352 Morata + Belotti with hazard behind! im just kidding, but it is a tough choice just comes down to which style you prefer i think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Morata is more like Tevez a secondary striker kinda like what Hazard does at times. So that's the difference between Morata and Belotti.

I would be content with two strikers in Morata and Belotti, but that would require Batshuayi being moved on as well, which is highly unlikely. There's no way a top club like Chelsea can rely on TWO stikers who will be less than 25 to get through next season, with UCL and PL to play for. Conte values experience, so if Costa goes, expect the next striker to be a well-established Undisputed Starter much like Costa. Edit: Just watching some highlights of Andrea Belotti, and I'm pretty sure i've seen him win more headers in 1 minute than Costa has in his entire Chelsea career.

Unionjack 7,531 Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 Ive been looking at this guy. Seems flexible up front positions. A good strong young guy and a good option for Eden cover or 2nd striker or alongside another. Seems to be a crazy fucker in a car tho. Told the cops he was Traore after being stopped without a license. In February 2014, Niang crashed his Ferrari into a tree and was sentenced to a suspended 18-month jail sentenced for an alleged hit-and-run accident which left 11 others injured. The player was also charged with endangering people's lives and driving without a licence again!. Then he had a crash though it was made clear he was not under the influence of alcohol he suffered an injury to the capsular ligament in his left ankle, as well as bruising to his left shoulder. Then after a 2-month lay off due to the accident,he jumped off the roof of his house into a pool and posted a video on social media. It caused a stir lol But it would really piss vinegar tits off as they want him!

Mad ting just to clarify I think we will only get one or the other not both. I would be over the MOON if we got BOTH of those guys. I think if Conte gets who he has been linked with most in Morata it will be the best thing for Batshuayi, he needs a strike partner and Morata is certainly an excellent secondary striker/strike partner. I have a gut feeling that Diego is going to move on and we will see Lukaku and Morata in blue next year. Lukaku/Morata/Bats Also as much as I prefer Belotti, i havent seen any concrete links between Chelsea and him at all. I know the media mostly makes up their stories but it might be nice to see some indication of interest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think Belotti is a target for Milan when they begin rebuilding their club with the Chinese money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bernard N Y Burgesson 139 Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 Chelseaare about to loose 19yrs Solanke just because they cant meet his 50k demand but yet rate him high. Sometimes i think chelsea are not serious. i have watched Solanke at Vitesse and even the acadamy and England U21 as well. If they really care about their future, the would give it to him. Madrid are already snooping around. That should tell you how highly rated he is. http://bleacherreport.com/chelsea http://metro.co.uk/2017/01/17/chelseas-dominic-solanke-planning-to-leave-on-free-transfer-in-the-summer-6385403/ Fernando 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jernej93 569 Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 I am wondering ... Do we really need new winger with so much talent in those attacking midfield positions? Boga, Musonda, Baker, Traore are all great potentials and at least one should turn into high quality (if not worldclass) player ? Sell Willian and Pedro, put those kids in first team next to Hazard and rather spend money on proper box to box midfielder, both wingbacks positions and ball playing CB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
