Lacks confidence. Too emotional. Seems to be changing teams more than Balotelli nowadays. One day he likes Madrid, one day he doesn't. Moves to Chelsea, now he's depressed in London.
Performances seem to come and go based on his emotional state.
At least Balotelli changes teams because he burns down the lockerroom.

He was fine with us. Not his fault Madrid ramsoned him.
Give the man his chance. He was one of teh reason we made that final. And you said it yourself, if his emotional state is the issue.. he will have peace of mind like never before here..in the team he reallyw ants and with his personal life in harmony.
Win-win.
Balo is trouble.
I think it was €5m loan plus €20m, but generally the figures are pretty close.
You can probably add 20% on for modern inflated fees to most of those.
Much depends on the will of the player, if he genuinely is unhappy in London (he always seemed a bit fragile to that kind of thing, looking from the outside in - he fits the soft Spaniard stereotype) then Chelsea will do well to sell for the kind of amount I mentioned, because it's unlikely he's going to do more than play less and less. If I was them I'd reject bids and give him another season, maybe he'd be a lot better with someone like Sarri. Or maybe he'd play 5 games per season

Well, that's another story, just that as you said aswell, an unlikely one atm.
That's precisely why i do think we should keep hold of Pipita right now, rather keep Higuain + Morata than a Morata + mediocre back-up for ST.
I guess eventually time will tell what's really the plan here, but to me Morata and Higuain are two very different players atm, both offer something that the other doesn't.

man, so many great characters, Zaza, Quag, Balo, Morata, and we can only have one (maybe even none, since Higgy is here)
the problem with Higuain+Morata is the same as with Cavani+Morata or Benzema+Morata, too high wages. we would be paying a combined ~30M gross in salaries for 2 CFs, who most likely wont start at the same time. in that case, id rather either of the 3 suggested scenarios of mine than keep Higgy.

Would swap with higgy in heart beat, zaza is a 25goal/season striker too
