He is. Just making the point that were just being linked with anyone with only days of the window left. Seems like every window in recent seasons we've been in a similar predicament.

It's sad times where we're in talks to sign someone of his quality for £35-40m. He'd essentially be filling a Tiago-esque role. The only plus about this potentially happening is his HG status.

He's a Colombian international. Just isn't someone that's ready to make the jump and would prefer Baba to get a run.

Only way he can go is if someone like Belotti comes in. Can't be fighting on all fronts with Morata & Llorente.

His effort more often than not can't be questioned but he just lacks that final pass. Should have freed Moses midway through the first half like Pedro did for our winner.

Had a few shaking points to start but was immense for the most part and played a huge role in the winner. Always gives his all!

He was the hero today. Don't think anyone here doubted his ability going forward.

Got the three points! All I care about right now

Disappointed to not see Musonda or Boga given a chance. Bakayoko making his debut is a big plus though.

Intrigued to see who makes the starting XI.

Musonda. Morata shouldn't be playing anywhere other than CF.

Would be shocked but delighted, if we managed to get him as well.

I don't get the age thing. Vidal is the same age and I didn't see many around here against that move when we were linked with him earlier. 30 year old could potentially be in their prime and have at least 2-3 at the same level.

Drinkwater is 27 and isn't close to his level.

Drinkwater is 27 and isn't close to his level.

How were aren't in for him at the very least is mindbogglingly.

That's it. I was actually happy with the signing and fee to begin with, but the thought that players improve around better teammates hasn't applied to him. Making similar mistakes to the ones that contributed to Bolton's relegation.

I'm saying the point about captain regarding his nationality. He isn't the same player that signed, so you need to be aware of that. His contribution in Europe has NOTHING to do my second point. [emoji106]

Just point 1. I doubt he'd even still be here had he not been HG.

Getting tired of the reaction from the bias Utd pundits that think we just parted way with the best thing since sliced bread. [emoji38] Did anyone in the media watch him in the last two seasons?

Had to have his say.

You must have watched another game, as I and several others around here thought Michy was awful. Judging Morata on 15 mins is farcical IMO. I'd totally agree with you sentiment had Michy brought his preseason form with him to the UK. That clearly wasn't the case for many that watch the CS last week.

Where's this earned nonsense coming from? Bats should have lost his starting place after the Community Shield. You're telling me if Morata did nothing when he came on, Michy would deserve to start next week?

Opened his tally already

Back up? I'm sure any notable WB that joins will be first choice.
