Do you ever get bored of being Linkman?

Fuck it, just pay up for this guy. Who cares if he costs outrageous amounts of money, we also got as such from our sales this year, that could completely fund this transfer. Hoping Lukaku was a wake-up call, although that's probably naive...

They don't learn they keep doing the same mistakes over and over again. 

We will go with low bids again.

Don't worry guys.  We're gonna sign Llorente (25+ million) and Keita Balde (20 million). 

Our strikers for the upcoming season will be Llorente, Keita and Michy.  Top-4 here we come

You forgot Bentekkers!

Come on Chelsea, make it happen! Sadly I believe a lot is down to Belotti, he needs to be an angry motherfu**** and ask for a move so his club lowers the price a bit. For 50-60 million I would be happy with the deal. Yeah I am an idiot for saying I'd be happy for a 60m deal for a "1 season wonder" but they are in no position to have to sell while we are a bit desperate and in Premier League where there is a lot of money.

Splash the cash. Just do it.

There's no way we'd get Keita Balde.  Don't have time to do that deal anymore.  It takes us months.  July 1st is the opening of the window for everyone else.  It's our deadline day to get it all done in time.

I personally feel that some people are overrated certain aspects of Belotti's game.  I say that even though he would be my number one target.  My order would be 1) Belotti, 2) Morata, 3) Lukaku (Mbappe is a dream, but impossible.  I would pay stupid money for him).  I think that lukaku has the biggest deficiencies of the three.  He will do well and score lots wherever he goes, but he isn't the type of striker to take your team to the next level.  When he is at his absolute best, he can be almost unplayable and arguably the best of the 3, but there's so much lacking that stops that from happening.  Since this is the Belotti thread, I won't go further than that though.  On to Belotti.

I think he is brilliant.  He does have that costa/tevez type of fight and determination (without the massive negatives of costa).  This type of willpower really does have an effect on the team.  It wears the defense down, but it also gives a lift to the team.  Teammates cling to that and it is contagious.  It's that little bit of scruffiness and fight that pushes a team over the line when they are having an off day.  He presses brilliantly and willfully (vital in our system).  

He drives the team forward (as his coach or president of torino, forget which one, said).  His runs stretch the defense and allow other attacking players to get in to the mix.  When he gets the ball deep, his first thought is to go straight forward.  One track mind at time it seems, and that is something I value in a striker.  He is a surprisingly good dribbler in space and when he is at speed.  It's hard to stop him once he starts going.  So when he gets it deep, he drives the whole team forward quickly and effectively.  More on other type of dribbling later on.  

He is excellent in the air. Again, it has a lot to do with his sheer determination to get to the ball first.  He knows how to position himself well for crosses (if we end up with him and sandro, it will quite the partnership).  

He is pretty good at holding play up.  He is physical and strong, and holds the ball well enough to left his teammates get there.  When he releases the ball, he is immediately making a run forward and making himself available.  He struggles getting the ball away from his feet some though.  

Areas I think he is lacking and overrated by a few: I think his overall technical quality is not near as good as many make it out to.  Yes, it is better than both lukaku and costa, but it's not top level.  In his highlight videos, it looks good, but when you watch full games or all his touches in a game, you see it is lacking.  His passes are often hit too hard, he doesn't quite have that touch.  His first touch is okay, but not excellent, theres a few times most games where it's just too heavy.  Along the same lines, he is not that good at dribbling in spaces that are tighter.  When he is at pace, he is very good though.

As I said, he is my first choice and I rate him very highly.  He does come with his flaws though.  He is decent enough technically that it does not negatively effect the overall team play as I see lukaku's doing.  He is the type that will always make a difference on the game whether he is scoring or not (another thing I think lukaku lacks).

Absolutely correct in every regard in my opinion.

What are the expectations of him if he signs? 25 goals all competitions? 9 Assists

My expectations would be someone close to Costa in form, but for the entire year and not half.

[CaptainConte 83]

Lukaku was the perfect striker for the fottball philosphy of the mister..

 

i don't see very big striker on the market...Morata,Aubameyang have skill more different by the Belgian (but Was Conte to wanted Alvaro at Juventus)

In my Opinion Belotti is the Striker Who Conte prefer to play in the Chelsea Attack

[termninja 5,290]

Still holding my thumbs for the transfer to happen...:)

[bluephoenix 1,126]

Really hope we can sign him. We are running out of good options at the moment.
