Posting this as I think It deserves it’s own thread.
I’ve mentioned before that a friend of mine is a Torino fan and his family have season tickets so they’ve seen him a lot since he joined them 7 years ago.
In that time in Serie A he’s scored 100 goals in 232 appearances and has been a regular starter for Italy where he’s scored 12 in 44.
In short my mate tells me that Belotti has been Torino’s talisman, in some games an unplayable one man army. His finishing with either foot is to quote my mate, ‘Letale’ and he’s good in the air. He scores goals. Physicality wise, he will have no problems even against the toughest of Premier League defenders. He’s been Torino’s Captain for a long time and is a big leader both on the field and in the dressing room. As you can imagine he is a big fan favourite.
We have nobody like him in our side today.
When we beat Torino, I said to my mate we could do with someone just like Belotti, his reply was that 1. He would never leave Torino and 2. Even If he did it would be to stay in Italy and a deal would be for massive money.
- They are all still in shock that he left them on a free.
IMO Landing someone like this would be a huge marquee signing, similar to us signing Patricio or Moutinho.
Given the other rumours this summer, I think this is probably in the realms of fantasy football but given the 1% chance we might sign him I thought it worth posting his own thread
Goals.
