Mourinho has worked with Lukaku and Morata before, and Morata is his prefered choice than Lukaku, surely that means something.

That means nothing. ManU were in for Morata long before they folded and went for Lukaku, clearly their 2nd or even 3rd choice behind Belotti (who you can only poke with a stick because of his release clause). So their hijacking ended up them paying massively over the odds and us taking their 1st choice for a discount price, I'm happy with that.  Also, you must know by now that Jose's judgement isn't the best, him rejecting somebody often has nothing to do with the player's footballing ability.

Who know it better to suit your system well other than the manager himself? He has worked with both, obviously that has something to do with his decision.

The Morata - Lukaku comparisson will be hard to bear throughout this season. Imagine if Rom scores in his first official game and Morata loses some chances or just doesn't show up at all.

There will be a lot of pressure on his shoulders.

So Lukaku suits United's system better, what does that have to mean to us? And if he suits them better, why was he after Morata first?

Mourinho think Morata will suit his system better, not Lukaku. Hence he trying to sign him first. Also, with the so called 'Lukaku has improved a lot after all this time', he still prefer Morata than Lukaku. That speaks a loud statement.

Aaaah man I totally misunderstood your first post. I thought you were saying that he prefers Lukaku and that should tell something, but in fact you were saying the opposite  My bad.

Not over excited but still very good signing considering the option that we had. Anyway is there any chance that he could travel to Singapore for the friendlies?

Now to get some back up wingbacks and we'll be fully ready!

I didn't realize he was quite tall! Also he seems to know how to head the ball which is already an upgrade! Based on his first words for Marca, he sounds really happy, grateful and ready for the challenge. Looking forward to seeing him in the Royal Blue.
