Andrea Belotti

[Chelsea Legend 11 4,062]

I think it depends. My personal preference is to play a 3-5-2 and field it like this:
 
                             Belotti
             Hazard

                       Keita
            Bakayoko   Kante
Sandro                             Moses
         Rudiger Luiz Christensen

I think it could really work. All players get to play to their strengths. You would have a strong bench with Pedro, Fabregas, Azpilicueta (who could play in the starting eleven depending on preference) and others. 
I realize it is a fantasy though, but having a hard worker and great finisher like Belotti supported by Keita, Hazard and Sandro would be a dream come true. 

That team would seriously struggle to score goals midweek and then again on the weekend.

It would be helpful if you said why. I personally think that there are plenty of threats in the lineup, and that the width could work.

Honestly, I really hope we manage to sign Belotti. He impressed me much more then Lukaku and Morata. His hunger, movement, finishing, versatility and overall energy are amazing. He reminds me of prime Falcao with his goals and how he starts running to celebrate the moment after he scores. It could be that Conte wants him rather then Morata and Lukaku so that's why the delay.

Go all out for him and if it's not possible get Morata.

He is a complete striker, superb poacher that scores almost the same amount with both feet and head. When you watch from 4:30 (dribbling and skills), his turn of pace and strength to launch attacks on his own like Tevez, is just what we need. He has hunger and a good kind of aggression as well, wich in my opinion makes him a safer bet then Morata etc.

Belotti reminds me a bit of Costa with his sheer determination to harass opponents, but with a much higher football IQ imo. He has everything you will want in a striker and has no real weaknesses. Realistically, him leading the line is risky seeing as there's no way you can really tell how he will adapt to the EPL. On the other hand, I'll still take him as I believe both Lukaku ( although EPL proven) and Morata may also struggle to adapt to how Chelsea play and how teams set up against us. An additional benefit of Belotti will be that he will almost certainly improve Hazard's game (he's very good at combination play which Hazard thrives on) and if he does, him scoring less than 20 EPL goes wouldn't be bad, as trust me, the effect he will have on Hazard's game play will more or less make up for a bit less goals. I feel ppl underrate how much Costa presses opponents so Hazard can conserve attacking energy, this again is something Belotti can easily replicate. A bit risky but what transfer isn't, if he can produce a similar form in the EPL, only Kane can really match him. That's my opinion anyway.
