Daniel Maldini.
Pelle was good for one season. So was bojan. Look at both of them now. They got found at. Bad examples. They are simply not good enough and neither is belotti. He is far too overrated. He is decent at best. He relies too much on his physique and lacks the skill to hold up and link up play. Yes he has those tools mentioned above but it is not at an adequate level to perform well for top tier clubs.
Pelle started declining in his second season, but still got 11 goals and 6 assists in the limited opportunities he got. I didn't use Bojan's example. Anyway, the discussion is not about Pelle or Bojan. Belotti is much more talented than them.

Pelle still got found out. Thats the point. No one rates him. He is average and belotti really isnt much better. I just dont see any world class qualities in him to warrant above 20 mil for his services. He is average to good at a lot of things but not great in any attribute.

Not sure if you're being sarcastic.



Historically the PL has never been a popular destination for top Italian footballers. In recent years, we have seen average Italians like Borini, Aquilani, Zaza, etc move to England. De Rossi, Marchisio for example could've done well there.



The current bunch of young Italians seem very talented and I think players like Belotti, Bernardeschi, Romagnoli etc. could do well in the PL. I think Belotti going to Arsenal is very unlikely, but I'm sure Conte will sign some top Italian player if he stays in Chelsea for a few seasons.



This.

I don't know why they are using the italians don't do well in epl, when in fact only the average ones went there like you mentioned. Zaza, borini, pelle etc are players we never wanted at Milan even when we had so many mediocre players. Darmian is the only "good" Italian player to somehow flop in the epl in recent seasons.

Verratti is currently the best italian player, would he flop in the epl? no faking way!.
As for belotti, he actually has all the qualities to do well in epl (hard worker, strong, decent pace etc.). He is imo better than harry kane at everything except shooting/finishing.

Torino sporting director said Arsenal has bid 65 million euros for belotti. Makes no sense and if wenger heard this, he would have heart attack by those numbers. Seriously is he any good and what type of player is he?

James Richardson said on Football Weekly that Torino didn't report who were the club ... believable.

Swagger is so stubborn. Apparently Belotti is the only striker in Europes top 5 leagues to have scored 5 goals with his left, right and head. He's young, has great personality and winning mentality, he gives Milan a headache and is rated by all professionals, but nvm he's average.

he is average as it gets. yet another italian average talent that will take the gilardino route. He is just not skilful enough to play for top tier teams. He will get found out rather easily. Berrardi on the other hand has world class potential cause he actually possesses talent. Belotti is like a jack of all trades, he is really not great at anything.

Really? this coming from the dimwitted bonera/abate fanboy. Thats rich. You are awful at discerning the abilities of any reasonably talented player. You are like the washed up version of lemon fodder who might be slightly less inept when it comes to discussing about football. Actually when it comes to general aspects of life too.

I got nothing on prime Van Nistelrooy or even post-Chelsea Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink, let alone pre-Barca post-Juve Thierry Henry.

yes
yes
abate is outstanding. higuain is not a choker. he is better than sheva. bonera is a competent RB and he is perfectly adequate. Seedorf is not a top tier midfielder. hehe.
