He's a level or two above. Arsenal reserve to someone that scored 36 in a league season & played for Real Madrid and Juve.

I'd totally be on board with that train of thought had we had Costa or Drogba at the club, but our last two managers have afforded Morata far too much time & it's ultimately cost us as a result (could be challenging with back up CF's at our rivals). Hope this is the last time I have to mention his name in a meaningful capacity.

He did his bit at Liege & Marseille. His short spell in Spain is the only period of his career that I would perceive as a failure. Another player that I can see thriving elsewhere

He has never been given a real chance here, so saying he's failed here is going overboard. Morata has failed despite ample opportunities. Michy going to Monaco on loan seems like the most probable outcome.

Loan with an obligation to buy is probably the best we can hope for. Just expect another massive loss on this one.

Can't really argue with a 6 month deal. Hope he hits the ground running.

Sarri doesn't think he's good enough to bench one of the worst FB's in Europe right now, but he wants to keep him. This shit gets on my nerves

What more does Sarri need to see?

Tactical reason along with the fact he's seemingly pushing for a move.

He's stated a few times that he prefers the style of football, but the false nine rubbish is nullifying him. Let's hope a CF will solve a number of our worries

He just doesn't like to rotate. It was known issue at Napoli as well

Sounds like it's happening

Nice to get a home win again

What is it with Hazard and these backheels in the last year?

Barca need to offer another 15m now

Masterclass from Jorginho

Sarri's favouritism is really grating on me. There is absolutely no reason Alonso & Willian should be regular starters to name two.

We really haven't offered much & the inevitable has happened

Luiz doing what Jorginho can't

All comes down to work rate

I don't understand why we hit high crosses without a CF.

Back to square one again

I think it's a given at this point. CHO inclusion will be the only surprise.

He's a DLP, isn't he? I get the fact that runs aren't being made around him as much as we would like, but that hasn't stopped Luiz completing almost twice as many through balls. Our midfield needs to offer more than just retention.

We didn't in the summer. What's magically changed in 6 months that will result in different outcome?
