I'm pretty confused about the general opinion on Morata and Belotti, as to me saying Belotti is any more proven a goalscorer than Morata is far from true. Belotti's been fantastic this season and has scored freely since the start of 2016 now, but he's a player in a team that's been set up with him as the end product. In every respect, in Torino he's the player everyone looks to for goals.
Morata's situation from the start of his career has been significantly different. He's always played in the shadow of others, especially at Real. He's never been used as the target man up front and isn't a guaranteed starter like Belotti (who probably wouldn't start in either Juve or Real either). It's even questionable in whether he should be used as a target man, because he's a very good all round player in his own right, he's much more complete overall than Belotti.
This isn't to say I think Morata's better than Belotti or vice versa, my point is both come with their strengths and their own risks. Honestly, if I was to choose between the two without consideration of cost, I'd choose Morata. For me he's been playing at the highest levels longer than Belotti, he's got experience of playing at the very highest clubs and is acclimatised to the pressures that comes with that (never mind smaller teams looking to close spaces that Belotti may not be used to) and overall he's a much more complete forward than Belotti in terms of technical quality and how he works with teammates (note that Morata has a very good number of assists at both Juve and Real).
Just to clarify, I'd be happy with any one of Aubameyang, Morata or Belotti, each have their own qualities, but there's a lot of consideration needed when discussing who's the best fit.
More and more the rumours are suggesting Keita's chosen Juve. If so, I'd love for us to blitz for Schick and take him from under their noses. The guy is a star in the making imo, and with the way he and Morata move, they could be a nightmare for defences as a partnership.
In addition, if DES is set on going to Juve, as mentioned the other day, I'd insist we get Rugani in return (I'd even pay on top for him), it could give us a great opportunity to play with a 3 man defence in the coming season.
