He would be so perfect for our team, I know he has only produced one amazing season but I just love the guy and how he plays. Plus he is Italian which is always bonus points for me. The good news is Palmeri credibility is irrelevant since he doesn't work for Tuttosport, and he is only citing that newspaper. Tuttosport are Turin based that is the extent i know of them.

I'm just off in dreamland cause I support Italy and love Belotti. I still think lukaku will be very successful here and get us lots of goals. My friend we want 2 strikers . So we will have to spend (100m for lukaku + 80m? For another striker) impossible? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps we've asked someone to leak this, or maybe we've really approached Torino, but only in an effort to keep Everton more realistic in their negotiations. I hope that's not what this is about, but it's possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leif 6,006 Posted June 29, 2017 Share Posted June 29, 2017 Not to sound bat shit insane, but his movement & strikes remind me of prime Yaya Toure. More often than not, his goals seem to come from running in from deep, past 5+ players. I never see a clip of him waiting to break the defensive line a la Torres, Costa. Never see him stand in line and hassling defenders a la Drogba. Never seen him dribble. Never seen him do anything in a full game or compilation but get the ball very early and start charging like a bull. It's shocking how many goals he gets this way, but, he doesn't get these goals against the top teams.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was stuff in the media a month or more ago about Antonio preferring Belotti, while the club wanted Rom. It was said that they had agreed to target the Everton man and that the manager was on board with that. 'On board' does not necessarily mean happy but at least it was settled. As for the boss preferring Belotti over Rom, it's hardly surprising. After all, Antonio has two eyes and he's heard of football before. I've felt all along that the push for Rom is more about someone trying to justify the original signing, than a cold, hard assessment of the team's needs now. That's assuming the chase is real; remember that after all the fuss last summer, Everton revealed our interest never got as far as actually making an offer. Sadly there is an air of inevitability about it this time. Oh well, at least this isn't going to be a Nandonian car crash. Rom can do stuff, but we should be more ambitious when spending this kind of money. Tomo, akgw13, Strike and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

akgw13 867 Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 I have made my love of Belotti known for a very long time, but even I find it hard to believe Conte would be against the signing of Lukaku(if it gets done) i just refuse to believe he would sanction a deal of that size for a player he doesnt want(allegedly). As @OhForAGreavsie said, this feels like old news being brought up again, Im sure Conte loves Belotti (i posted an article where Conte noticed him way back at Palermo) and he leads the italian line but its just easy clickbait to post an article saying "Conte is mad cause he wants player X while chelsea want player Y, coach could walk" Such a shame though, Belotti would be a superstar in the prem. I would be gutted to see him on any other team in the PL besides us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chelsea Legend 11 4,062 Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 I like him BUT He doesn't really get after defenders and occupy them, he seems like a better version of Daniel Sturridge. He's good in the air and scores a lot there but I don't see how he would link up play and occupy defenders. He's technique looks to be pretty average as well. Love is determination and aerial ability, he seems clinical but I would air on the side of caution here mainly due to price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His linkup play is better then Lukaku and Costa, he gets fouled alot more and his defensive contribution is much better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clockwork 1,794 Posted July 1, 2017 Share Posted July 1, 2017 He is nothing like Daniel Sturridge, but sign me up for a better version of Sturridge in any case. Imo if Sturridge could have stayed healthy he would be one of the best strikers in the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
