Álvaro Morata

[nadavTKL 1,787]

Do you really think he's that good for this big money? im not sure..

And what buying him means? playing him together with Costa in 4-4-2?

He's good, not 58 mill good. Realistically the 58 mill good players can be counted on the fingers of one hand.
Yes, general opinion is that we'll play 4-4-2 next season.

But how can we play 4-4-2 with Cesc? Conte surely wont play Cesc with only one CM next to him.

A diamond formation is the only way, and that means Hazard/Willian wont play, something like this:

---Matic---
Cesc-Kante
---Hazard--
Costa-Morata

Yes, that's the only doubt I have about the 4-4-2 Where does Cesc fit? Although I wouldn't be surprised to see him there, at least for the first few games, until Conte realizes it's not a viable option.
We can fantasize about the formation all we want, ultimately we'll get a general idea of what shape we're going to take in 1 month

Balague: "Arsenal, #Chelsea and United want Alvaro Morata, but the first to put an offer in seems to be #Chelsea - about €50million.“ [Sky]

Juanma Lopez (Agent): "Alvaro Morata still has offers from top clubs in the Premier League. We’ll see, we have to talk to Zidane.“ [AS]

Again, how does it make any sense that United would be after Morata? They'll have Zlatan and Rashford, why sign another ultra expensive striker that would diminish Rashford's development even more? Zlatan will not go anywhere to be a part timer and will be first on Mourinho's team sheet every week. That already means Rashford will be a squad player. Bringing in Morata for £40m or more? May as well loan Rashford out because as we saw first hand here José doesn't rotate his striker often.

The only PL clubs that Morata really makes sense for are ourselves and Arsenal.

The only reason United are linked is because they are being linked with nearly every player available. Mourinho coming in and have lots of money to throw around. It's the nature of the rumor mill.

Be delighted if we get this lad, I am really impressed with him.

[Pizy 18,855]

If we manage to buy Morata and play with two up top I just worry a bit about how our central midfield holds up. If we're after only Nainggolan, I'm not sure he and Cesc are enough cover for our defense.

I wouldn't mind seeing 4-4-2 but I think I'd personally prefer 4-3-3 with two new midfielders brought in. I want Cesc as free of defensive responsibility as possible and with two strikers up top and only one midfielder next to him he'll still struggle against athletic opponents and pressing. If we have a new box to box mid (Nainggolan/Gomes) in addition to a new DM (Kante) then Cesc can be free to spray the ball to Costa, Willian, and Hazard.
