Rapkun 668 Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 I wanted him here I'm sure he will come good for us. but I hope fellow chelsea fans don't expect him to start the season the same way Diego had during his first season. He was very expensive but that's only because the market is ridiculously inflated. We are paying for a player with great potential not the finished product. He left Madrid to play regularly and improve. He hardly had the chance to play regularly for a team at top level. Probably the only time was his first season at Juve. I think his lack of playing time has considerably slowed his progression. Which is why you're gonna have to be patient with him if you don't want to be disapointed. He will need time to adapt to the country, to his teammates, to our philosophy and to the league. and then only he can focus on how to develop as a player. He could prove me wrong and score a double or a hat-trick on his debut but he could also fail to score a single goal for the first two months or so. The odds are the same. That said, I think he has all the tools to make it here or anywhere else. As long as he works hard, the sky's the limit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Milan 17,957 Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 I like this - Quote He is quick. Marca took official league data last April to give a ranking of Real Madrid's fastest players according to top speed reached during games and Morata came in third behind defender Nacho Fernandez and midfielder Mateo Kovacic. He was ahead of fourth-placed Gareth Bale. The measures used gave an indication of explosive speed more than pace but he should be able to offer that same ability to pull away into space that Costa gave. He's better than Costa in the air. Fellow Real Madrid youth team graduate Lucas Vazquez tells the story of being Real Madrid's youth team centre-forward until Morata joined the club when he was immediately told to get out on the wing and put the crosses in for a player whose superb heading technique would see him likened to Fernando Morientes at Madrid.

Rekin 835 Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 15 hours ago, The Skipper said: I think Lukaku is in between (using your theory) like Costa as well personally. If you get Romelu into the box for example - he's an absolute killer and will finish off chances. His "IQ" in the box is one of the reasons why he scores a lot. You could say that Romelu is more intelligent in the box than Morata, whereas it's the other way for Alvaro for example. Would that be a false statement? The term is too broad imo. There are areas on the pitch Romelu is smarter in than Morata too. Yeah, I think that is fair. I guess my problem with Lukaku, and why I was lukewarm towards him, is that I feel his strengths (and I do agree that he is strong in the box) demand some pre-requisites that I feel are harder to come by for a top team, making him more inconsistent.I like Morata because I feel that he is more likely to exchange passes with Hazard/Willian/Pedro/Fabregas to set up a goal and dribble himself into a shooting position against tight defenses. I do not mean by this that Lukaku is unable to do so, just that Morata on average will manage it more often. On the other hand, I think Lukaku will offer more in the box than Morata. Between those two examples, I think we will find more use out of Morata's skills. For the record, I have always been convinced that Lukaku would have scored a lot of goals for us, and that he will do so for United. However, my perhaps strongest reason to prefer Morata is because while he is very good technically, he also possesses more physical attributes such as being somewhat strong, good in the air and very fast. He is great or above average in most categories, rather than really good in a few. I also feel like he is the one that still has more room for development, as he has been under-utilized during his career. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Special Juan 28,141 Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 We will get the whole Lukaku v Morata thing from the first point a ball is kicked. Lukaku is already the media darling because he has joined the media darling in Man United. SKY are already wanking themselves daft over Lukaku as they always do over everything United related. Really looking forward to seeing Morata do his stuff.....Up the Chels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
