It looks like Mancini sees this. When everyone is fit you'd expect to see Insigne, Chiesa and Berna as choices either side of him. It would be nice if he had some genuine backup though. Quagliarella can do that short term but you need a striker with legs as a sub as well.
Belotti stop his grow the day they put 100m release on his contract. Immobile and Zaza are bad but they were never scared to do new experience in new clubs/countries and a NT coach values that. Guys like Belotti or Berardi will rot where they are, i mean even Zaniolo and Kean have more international experience than them.
