Yeah, i know you weren't serious. But i haven't seen long shot goals from Morata, i would welcome this dimension here, left with Drogs, imo. Furthermore it seems that he flourishes more when coming on from the bench, but that's another debate. Overall that's luxury problems, i would take Morata at Chelsea, but i wouldn't give up on midfielder(s) or defenders for him. We got Traore for that.

Thanks, there you have it, over a whole season 'once'. Still thinking how it will work out with two strikers up front which leaves us short in midfield, this strategy didn't go well for City in the Champions-League, imo. Not totally convinced, but we have to try something different. I get that. Isn't Dybala the better player? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DYC. 7,542 Posted June 7, 2016 Share Posted June 7, 2016 Morata is a good prospect. But he's still very much a developing player. Describing him as hot and cold would be generous as he's mostly cold. Great impact sub though. £40 mil is a massive fee. Expectations would be high. It's better than paying 60 mil for Lukaku though. Rom is further in his development but I think Morata has the heigher ceiling because of his superior technique and mobility. But I'm not sure whether Morata is a true world-class prospect. He's almost 24 and he has a lot to learn from a tactical perspective.and he's far from refined technically. There's a reason why Real are (apparently) looking to sell a Madrid-born youth product. But players like Suarez and Aubameyang prove players can still book a lot of progression at relatively late stage of their development though. So it can go either way. As long as possibly spending so heavily on Morata won't affect strengthening actual key areas I support this signing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And Martial is damn good player. But both need a classic striker to play next to, because they dont score enough on their own. If we are indeed interested in another striker and Costa is staying, Morata would make more sense than Lukaku. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pizy 18,914 Posted June 10, 2016 Share Posted June 10, 2016 Makes no sense for United if they're also signing Zlatan. Rashford would never see the pitch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ledg 643 Posted June 17, 2016 Share Posted June 17, 2016 I think the player wants to move since his agent is holding talks cause David Amoyal said if Real don't buy him back this summer Juve will have to wait one more year before they can sell him to another club.

ulsterchelsea 3,221 Posted June 17, 2016 Share Posted June 17, 2016 Can anyone tell me ( who actually watches the fella) what the deal is here? I've never really seen the guy play but he seems to seriously divide opinions. He doesn't seem to score bucket loads but a lot of top sides are reportedly interested. What does he offer? Wasn't impressed with his first euro game but then Spain strikers tend not to stand out of late. Will watch tonight (much to her indoors delight) to get a better look Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But he's nowhere near a £40 mil striker at the moment (that's the fee I last remember reading). He's big, fast and possesses decent strength. He has a bit of a young Torres about him (bar the finishing of the Torres of old). Very direct style of playing and likes to run at players with the ball at his feet. His skill is decent and he's decent in the air as well. Not very intelligent in his movement and decision-making and his finishing is mehh. He was a back-up and impact sub at both Madrid and Juventus. He could become a very good striker but I personally have doubts about him. I think young strikers like Batshuayi, Icardi, Origi, Embolo are easily as talented and I rate strikers like Kane, Martial and Lacazette higher.
