Summer mercato 2021

[ac.michael]

I don't know how good Scammaca is. I've only ever watched him maybe 5 times. He seems to fit the profile though. Young, will be ok with being Ibra's substitute and learn from him. Same mould of striker as Ibra also (physical but good on the ball it seems) so we wouldn't need to drastically change our style when he plays instead of Ibra.

Of course, there is also the argument that we don't need to go with a very young player and someone more seasoned and rewdy will be better. For me, both options are good. It just depends on availability. Belotti seems like the perfect option tbh, but then again, he may not be as happy to sit on the bench behind Ibra. On the flip side, when Ibra is gone...we would have a ready-made striker...whereas who knows if Scamacca will be ready in a year. He may need more time and then yet again, we are in the market for a starting striker a year from now when we could have gotten Belotti instead.

Scammaca reminds me of Icardi. He's good, but he'd be a choice for me only depending on what the budget is for our attack. If we have to spend 35-40m on Belotti versus 15-20 on Scamacca I would rather Scamacca. Depends what the demands are for our options. I trust Maldini will make the right choice, but again neither Belotti nor Scamacca are my top choices at all.
