Please read my initial posts on the subject.
You also dodged my initial question and then attributed the "hate" by quoting my post. I have no clue who others are, I have not offered up any great alternatives - I have just expressed why persons wouldnt be keen on us buying him.
A few weeks ago I stated I liked Darwin Nunes's game and VS rightly pointed out he was surely out of our bracket. If Belotti is all we can purchase then I hope he is a hit but I cant tell you I'm thrilled because I dont believe history is in his favour and that hard working game that does well in lower teams doesnt always translate when you play in better teams and the opposition now play you differently.
Well, during the season where Cairo placed the 100m price tag on him plenty of clubs were interested. None followed through, and after that I can barely remember being seriously linked with him.
We don't have to go into urban epistemology here, but "hate on" is not "hate" and it was meant more as a general defense of Belotti as a player, as too many two cent posters(not you) are just swinging by slinging shit at a player who hardly deserves hate.
I'm not a big Belotti fan boy, buy signing him for 20m this summer(given that we make CL) would in my opinion be an extremely shrewd move because he would complement our play and create depth with Ibra. When the wheels keep rolling and Leao look even better a year from now Belotti could either continue his great reign or see bench behind a new marquee striker.
We don't have to sign the new franchise name this summer. We need goals and usefulness in our tactical setup.
I'd prefer Vlahovic to Belotti actually, but the former will be very expensive and the latter has a better idea of what he's doing.
I think comparing Belotti to Gilardino, Pazzini, Piatek etc is missing the beat. He's a different player, more aggressive, more tactically aware, and a strong finisher. But hey, I guess we don't need one.
