Ge seems to run round like a hamster on his wheel. hes stromg, hot a bite and he is always the 1st line of defence. I like him. I'm wondering why Juve haven't gone for him. Because they would need to negotiate with Torino first. The 100million buy out clause is only for non-Serie A clubs. They did this because they didn't want to lose him like Napoli lose Higuain to Juve. Torino won't sell to Juve as they don't want to be their feeder club and their fans will go metal as they really, REALLY hate Juventus. Juventus have Higuain and Mandzukic and Dybala as prospect. Also, Belotti is rumoured to have a dislike for Juve. Bundesliga clubs need to do this as well as every Bundesliga club has become a feeder club for Bayern Munich.

Costa19 858 Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 If its true that Tianjins owner confirmed that they have an agreement with Costa and Chelsea will sell in June we really need to sign Belotti up this window. Why waste time on Diego if he is going in June.. Dont want us to be in a bad position in the summer where we dont have any first team striker and its 10 days left on the transfer window..

If they wanted to deter Serie A clubs specifically, then that clause would be for them and not for non-Seria A clubs. This way they are showing preference to sell him in Italy rather than abroad, no?

No because if the clause would be for Serie-A teams Juve could just activate it with a 100M bid. Now Juve needs to negotiate with Torino where Torino could just say f*** o** and refuse to sell him no matter what Juve is offering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T And Torino will tell Juve they can f*ck off even before they come walking by with a bid. Their fans won't accept it. They went apeshit in Naples when Higuain snitched them for Juventus, expect them to go mental on Belotti in Turin for moving up to the Juventus stadium. Torino fans are crazy.

Sideshow Luiz 2,310 Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 Judging only by the YouTube videos (I know), he's a very tidy finisher. All kinds of angles and shapes, different kinds of balls in to him. Only 5'11, but he's got some leap on him and really attacks the ball in the air.

akgw13 867 Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 Seeing Links that conte has his sights set on Belotti if Costa gets his wish and moves on this summer. Obviously option #1 is to keep costa but for me Belotti is the next best thing. would absolutely love to see him here. Could just be lazy links to get dummies like me to click but still a little hope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rekin 835 Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 Cant claim to be an expert on Belotti, but the way he is described he sounds like a player that would fit the team. I thought to myself at some point that if/when Costa leaves, Icardi would be a good replacement, but he might be a bit one-dimensional. Belotti is physically very strong, an excellent finisher and works his ass off according to almost every report/opinion on him I have read. Seems like a Conte-type of player. I ran a comparison between Icardi, Belotti, Dzeko and Higuain. They are all on either 15 or 14 goals this season, with Belotti being the youngest (10 months younger than Icardi) and playing in the worst team (also has a lower amount of minutes than Dzeko and Icardi). Outtake on Belotti: Second highest amount of assists (3) second lowest shots per game (3,3) Second highest aerial wins per game (2,1) Good overall defensive stats, especially in tackles (1,1) Highest amount of key passes per game (1,9) Gets fouled more than twice as much as the others (3,2 pg) More or less same amount of dribbles per game as the others Gets dispossesed the most, and take the largest amount of poor touches out the four, even if it is not by much Good overall passing stats In summary, I would not translate these stats to it being a one-trick pony, or one season wonder. While he is a strong finisher, he has a very good all-around profile with being solid in the air, being a good dribbler and a capable passer. These stats do also not show a clear picture of some of his strongest sides, which include strength and hard work. He holds his own compared to the best strikers in Italy, while playing in the worst team and being the youngest. Paying his buy-out should not really be a serious option, but then again I really doubt that it is the price that he would go for. I certainly think that he would justify a high price tag though, and is likely to become a top striker when he ends up in a better team.
