Ah not many, pretty good record. I'm sure signing with us would resolve that- Adductor problems at the beginnig of 2014 (2 months)
- Hamstring injury in September 2016 (a couple of week)

Jovetic was injury prone, but he started decently. The first 3 did alright, the last 3 barely played? I dont remember them really playing in the EPL. If you look at Belotti's numbers and style, it could be a good transfer.Italian strikers who played recently in EPL:
- Mario Balotelli
- Manolo Gabbiadini
- Graziano Pellè
- Simone Zaza
- Alberto Paloschi
- Stefano Okaka
No one successful, but frankly only about Balotelli there were great expectations.
EPL teams didnt buy many CF from Serie A, in recent years I remember only Stevan Jovetic
at 100m euros? If this was a 30-40 deal no one would really question it that much. But they supposedly want a fee close to a world record for this guy.Jovetic was injury prone, but he started decently. The first 3 did alright, the last 3 barely played?

Obviously not for 100m, but something more reasonable, where both parties could live with itat 100m euros? If this was a 30-40 deal no one would really question it that much. But they supposedly want a fee close to a world record for this guy.
I'm obviously not one of the people you tagged but from what I've seen of him Tevez is a good comparison.I've watched a little bit of Serie A this past season but haven't caught any Torino matches. From what I've read about him, and seen from YouTube videos, he reminds me a bit of Tevez.
Would that be a fair comparison? @devilish @Bepi @::sonny:: @giorno @JuveGER
I only tagged those that I believe watch Series A on a regular basis, but anyone who's seen him is welcome to answer.I'm obviously not one of the people you tagged but from what I've seen of him Tevez is a good comparison.
Since when he left our national team
Is not a good comparison.I'm obviously not one of the people you tagged but from what I've seen of him Tevez is a good comparison.
I posted an interesting post few days back with quotes from people who developed him or watched him playI've watched a little bit of Serie A this past season but haven't caught any Torino matches. From what I've read about him, and seen from YouTube videos, he reminds me a bit of Tevez.

my issue as well. We are developing martial and rashford. Last season every stat metric except finishing improved. I don't want to develop another striker, i want a finished product.I like technical gifted player and he is not, still raw with passing, vision, control of the ball
Agreed, and the targets (Griezmann, Perisic, James Rodriguez, Lukaku) suggest that the club think the samemy issue as well. We are developing martial and rashford. Last season every stat metric except finishing improved. I don't want to develop another striker, i want a finished product.

agree. I mean i'd happily take Belotti if we can't get anyone else, but if I was to be looking at creating a list, lukaku and lacazette are ahead of belotti. I agree with you 100%, I think he needs another season, too many strikers are one season wonders, he needs to reproduce his form and build in other areas.Agreed, and the targets (Griezmann, Perisic, James Rodriguez, Lukaku) suggest that the club think the same
Wouldn't say he's raw at all. His control, touch, movement and passing are all good, just not greatI like technical gifted player and he is not, still raw with passing, vision, control of the ball
I think he looks like Immobile
I think in England could be considered as a mix between Kane and Okazaki
Torino want 100 million, I would wait another season and see his development
This is surebetween Belotti and Lacazette i'd take Belotti every time
My main issue with Lacazette is that he's about 5'9...he really doesn't suit the way we play at the moment, unfortunately.Wouldn't say he's raw at all. His control, touch, movement and passing are all good, just not great
Agree about the price thing. For united, Lukaku would be the safest bet, but between Belotti and Lacazette i'd take Belotti every time
Oh, don't get me wrong, I don't think Tevez was just a workhorse - I know first hand how technically gifted he is/was. It's just, from the little I've read/seen, he's obviously a hard working forward á la Tevez but I've seen his technique praised as well(compared to Batistuta from Capello) which is similar to Tevez.Is not a good comparison.
Tevez, with all his pressing and hard work, was/is a very skilful player, with great control even under pressure.
Belotti is not so technically gifted.
I'm not saying that Belotti is average, because he would be my first choice as CF, but he's not similar to Tevez at all.
I know; I read it! It was one of the things that prompted me to ask about this comparison. It was a good read, thanks.I posted an interesting post few days back with quotes from people who developed him or watched him play

Very similar to a certain Chicharito that Jose absolutely loves.
Judge him on the type of goals he scores. Seems like a glorified poacher.
Not necessarily a bad thing given that what we most lack up front is good finishing and good movement to get on the end of crosses. If he could be like a bigger, stronger Chicharito then he'd be a good signing. But that alone likely wouldn't transform our team, we need our other attackers to be better too.

If you can't have Lewandowski, any other target man is a risk. Belotti is way below Tevez's level, he is marginally better than Immobile and Gabbiadini, not sure he would score a lot in the PL. If you need a finisher from Serie A, you should go for Dzeko or place a shrewd bet on Milik imho.I've watched a little bit of Serie A this past season but haven't caught any Torino matches.

Why? Dont think he will end up there anyway, Morata is Milan boundPlease United buy him. Don;t let him go to Milan.
Seeing that the way we've played is only just better than cr*p, we need to get someone who helps our style evolve. Lacazette will create goals for others, will defend from the front and score too. He reminds me of Saha at his best (without the injuries) - Lacazette is more mobile so expect fluid football if we play to his strength.My main issue with Lacazette is that he's about 5'9...he really doesn't suit the way we play at the moment, unfortunately.
Jose probably loves that as a squad option not a 80 million pounds signing.Very similar to a certain Chicharito that Jose absolutely loves.
I don't know that much about Belotti but I'd rather us go through a season of transition developing what we have and take some cheap punts and maybe sign younger players, than blow our load on overrated players for obsene prices.Meh. If this lad and Lukaku is the best we can do with £100million then we're in for another shite league seaon.
£100m would get us Kane.
I'd also like us to go for Kane if the other 2 are going for £100m. I'm really surprised we haven't been heavily linked with him so far especially after they were all saying #9 is a priority!Meh.

Especially when he's proven 25+ goal a season , English, young And one of the best finishers in the world.I'd also like us to go for Kane if the other 2 are going for £100m. I'm really surprised we haven't been heavily linked with him so far especially after they were all saying #9 is a priority!
Wouldn't say incredible, few good performances including the the LC. Balotelli was never good. Jovetic was a crock.Hasnt Gabbiadini been incredible for Saints so far? Pelle was good considering how limited he is. Balotelli was good too, attitude was his problem. Jovetic was good too, not getting consistent playtime was his issue.
