Andrea Belotti

We won't be paying 89 million for Belotti ffs. He's not anywhere close to an elite player yet. If we were paying that sort of money it would be for a world class player, not a prospect who isn't prolific

I rate him highly but 100m is stupid.

Journos aren't even trying anymore. All about the clicks!

Would love Belotti here, I have expressed that many times. This feels like lazy click bait, possibility in the summer if Diego leaves. Can't wait for the window to be closed so we can focus fully on the title

Go for him in the summer. Talk of a deal today are farcical.

Scored today he's banging them in a regular basis for an average team picture him around quality players he would be even better

He looks more and more like an ideal striker for Conte. I can see us going for him in the summer regardless if Diego Costa moves.

I'm interested to hear opinion from @OhForAGreavsie about this player's technical quality.

Someone made the point recently that Belotti is not yet proven.That's true but it's a question timing. If you wait until a player establishes himself there's a risk that the number of interested clubs will grow and that he might be taken by a team higher up the food chain. There comes a point therefore where you have to back your judgement. My own opinion is that this is a player worth investing a lot of money in. If our club tries to get ahead of the game and beat the rush for Belotti's signature, then I would be 100% behind that decision.

I think his technical level is high, far higher than Diego's for example. It is very unlikely that the club would want to part with Diego but if our centre forward chooses to force the issue, then Belotti tops the list of potential replacements as far as I am concerned. Only in the areas of leadership and will to win would I rate Diego more highly than the young Italian. Those qualities are important and should not be dismissed, but I would not let them deter me from pursuing this player. In any case, Belotti may well have those. He certainly has a fire in his belly, and that is usually where those things begin.

I believe i was the one that made that point, but don't misunderstand me, we should sign him if we can, what i said is that he is not the best option to immediatly replace Costa if he leaves, the arguably most important player of our team, we should aim for a established WC player like Aubameyang, but i'm all in for Belotti coming along.

I am never sure about Strikers in Seria A he looks a good player but does another think his the real deal
