Serie A defending is much tactically better than our league. Anyway, Bellotti is a real finisher, very clinical and intelligent. Totally different striker from Rashford.
Serie A is also slower and players have more time on the ball.
Going to Liverpool.
Your original post made it sound as if we've missed out on all the other targets.
Huh?
It was a bit tongue in cheek but where else is he going to go? Might not be good enough for Real Madrid, probably doesn't suit the Italian teams, Bayern has Lewa, doesn't suit Mourinho and Costa is staying at Chelsea. Plus, Klopp would like him and he would fit their style very well.Huh?
Well I think any player is available at the right price, and financially we can pretty much afford anybody we want. So who's the best striker in the world?
I don't think he'd fit their style at all tbh. Klopp likes his forwards to be very mobile and active, to press without the ball. I'm not sure Lukaku would do that.
PSG.
Does he have to go anywhere? Has he said he'll be leaving? Because that's like saying Griezmann (just an example) will go to Everton because he does not suit anybody else. Well, at that point he can just stay where he is.
He apparently wants to leave Dortmund this summer. And Liverpool have a lot of money now (expanded stadium and new TV deal) plus Champions League football. I feel they might actually be able to attract players of this level now, in the way Arsenal were able to attract Ozil and Sanchez.
Good point. Still, Cavani.
Maybe. A lot more goals were scored in Serie A than the PL this season:
Yeah, I think a lot of Serie A teams mentally went to the beach early because it was obvious who would make CL and who would get relegated, Crotone's miraculous escape aside.
I agree with this. If we weren't getting Griezmann I probably wouldn't be as keen, but with him coming almost a certainty, I think they'd make a good strike partnership. Griezmann has thrived in the last few years with a strike partner who keeps it simple (see Giroud for France, Torres and Gameiro for Atletico), and that's exactly what Belotti does.
Yes. Simple, direct and effective football is what we need.
Thats why I said I need to see more of him. Furthermore I didn't say he looked terrible overall, I said his all round game looked terrible. He made several intelligent runs that his teammates failed to pick out.
I think he looks like a chunkier Craig Bellamy.
Is he similar to Chicharito?
I've only watched him on youtube but from what I've seen he reminds me of Suarez
Indeed. If Belotti is Shearer level, then we should pay as much as we paid for Pogba.
You watch Torino games? I don't see any similarity between the two.
