I didn't say I prefer one over the other. I understand the facts (stats), but the facts aren't the whole story. He has never been a "central" player for ANY team he's played for. Meaning, the teams he played for never played for him like for example Torino plays for Belotti. He has never even truly been a given starter for any team he's played for, like Belotti is for Torino playing every game from the 1st to the 95th minute. Many of those performances for Morata are off the bench (last 20-30mins), and whenever he has started he is usually taken off after 50-60mins. I provided Morata's (more relevant imo) stats a few posts ago......1 goal every 88 minutes in La Liga this year. That is extraordinary, assuming that those are "chopped up" minutes and not in continuity (45 mins here, 20 minutes there, etc).
The fact that Belotti is 1 year younger is not a big deal. We are talking about ONE year, let's not make it sound like it's 5. Like I said, I don't prefer one over the other. As a matter of fact, they are both WAY overpriced. But Morata has accomplished a lot more in his career so far and has shown the continuity of being able to play at the highest level for several years now (even though yes, the # of goals is perhaps not the most impressive), whereas Belotti has had ONE, ONLY ONE, great season in his career so far. All I am saying is, before we go paying 60/70 million for a player (and that seems the VERY LEAST we can even hope for), shouldn't he at least show that he can maintain this form over a couple of season at the very least??? I just think his form this season, the fact that he plays like a lion and doesn't hold anything back (I love this by the way), the whole 100mil release clause and use of the hype machine by Cairo, the entire thing about Belotti being a huge Milan fan and Shevchenko fan....all of that is contributing to people wanting Belotti and willing to pay crazy sums for him.....but I think we need to look at this with an outside perspective and a clear head. There is NO WAY Belotti is worth anywhere near what they want for him presently.
Back to Morata, I can go on and say the same things about him too. Real bought him back for 30mil, he is not even a starter there and is now in his mid 20s (so no longer a youngster that they can argue will have an exponential growth rate), so there is no freaking way they should be able to just double that 30mil like nothing. How the hell did his value rise that much? On the bench? Screw them!
So both of them are overpriced, and believe me, as I've said multiple times already, I don't prefer one over the other. But there is no way that Belotti is worth more than Morata, and there is no way that Morata is worth 60mil imo. So you do the math as to how much each of them is fairly worth.
Anyway, this is why I prefer Aubameyang over the 2. Yes, 70mil is a lot of money.....but at least you are playing for a player that's been scoring tons of goals over the past several years now....and not just against Bundesliga opponents, but he's done it against the best clubs in the world in the CL. Big name, right time in his career.....more or less you know exactly what you are getting. Every transfer is a risk, I get that. But when you weigh in all the risks compared to what we are paying and getting....Aubameyang is surely the best deal.
Sorry for the long post by the way
