🇪🇸 Álvaro Morata

[Muzchap 8,966]

Deffo deserves another season.

Even Drog wasn't all that for the first few seasons...

Patience...

Probably he will leave..

Please go to Milan, would be another bullet dodged.

[Unionjack 7,531]

I'm totally open minded about him.As peeps said ir will be interesting to see if Sarri can get into his head. He had a few good games then he switched off so whether it was because of the baby coming or what? but he got the yips.

But with Jorgi boy putting those thru balls and little chips in and Dave looking for his head he might just come good.

And as i really cant see Milan paying what we want its going to take good swaps or we losing alot of money.

See what Sarri does eh.See where he is going with team selections.

This next month will be interesting.

[Special Juan 28,141]

I think he will go to Milan in a deal that sees Donnarumma coming here. The Higuain noises will not go away, and if we are paying that sort of money there is no way he comes in and plays a bit part role. Higuain, Batshuayi and Giroud is good enough, it's forward stock pile that we can get by with. I've said before, I worry about Morata, I just don't think he's good enough.

[Thor 2,711]

I'm so sick of the chopping and changing with everything at our club. No one ever gets a fair run here, and then things like Salah, KDB and Lukaku happen. 

At this point, whatever, sell him. Going by the fans on here, he clearly sucks. 

Just don't see how you give up on a guy who was constantly in great positions, but failed to convert easy chances due to confidence. It wasn't anything like Torres, who did nothing all game.

 

Change him. Then we can blame the next striker.

That is one of the most dumbest decision the club will ever make assuming the reports are true...investing that much on a young brilliant striker and just because of some confidence issues just throw in the towel...Lets wait and see...

I don't get why anybody would want to keep Batshuayi over Morata? Batshuayi is such a limited player. A decent half a season playing for Dortmund where he scored against average teams wont change that. Especially when you consider that Sarri is reportedly willing to get rid of players who don't fit his style due to their technical attributes, Morata has got that all round game where he can be much better than Batshuayi in his system. Batshuayi might score goals yes but at the same time he doesn't offer anything else to the team... he is limited in terms of footballing intelligence as well as technique for me. Even for a back up role you want quality to push your main striker. Batshuayi is 100% not that guy. Giroud is an alternative but not necessarily going to give somebody like Higuain a jolt up the arse. Morata with a bit of coaching and perhaps having that first season under him can definitely be our first choice if nobody comes in or be a very good competitor for the role.

Morata hasn't got an all round game, not only that but he hasn't got an all round game that warrants him being our starting striker. We are link to Higuain because people at the club are actually worried about this bloke Morata.

Do people not realize he wants to leave? Potential is pointless, he will never achieve it if he's thinking of leaving

Mentality comes before all else. Morata has no desire to bulk up or cut out his pathetic antics, so he's almost useless in my eyes.

Get a replacement in and call it a day.

I will say it again... Mentality.

Agreed and the same applies to other, more important players, in the squad. If he wants to leave, then why keep a player who’s mind is elsewhere?

Morata doesn't have an all round game? Hes fast, good technically, can play one or two touch, intelligent mover without the ball, good in the air... just because he was poor in the second half of the season after being arguably our most important player in the first half of the season means nothing. Fatigue, injury, loss of form, no winter break, team as a whole struggled... all different variables, fair enough maybe none of them are applicable or maybe some are but he definitely deserves another season because he showed that he has definitely got something in him as a player (unlike Bakayoko who only looked like a reasonable player in 2 games the whole season). 

We are linked with Higuain because regardless we need better options up front... he is a known goalscorer and also a guy who worked with Sarri as well as the fact Juve need to sell to comply with FFP. Rugani isn't necessarily better than any CBs we've got but hes coming because hes worked with Sarri and fits the mould of what he wants in a CB. Higuain yes hes better than Morata but him coming doesn't necessarily mean its as simple as Sarri has weighed up Morata in 4 or 5 training sessions and doesn't want him. Regardless, Batshuayi and Giroud's futures are also up for debate. Batshuayi for me would be the first guy to go because he is such a limited footballer in terms of his actual all round game.

In the past people also slated Costa (who for me, was the biggest loss from our team last year, not just in terms of goals but everything else he offers) so it just really goes to show that none of us are actually really happy when we have any decent strikers.... 

And for me personally, it is even stupider to consider selling him when we finally have an extremely attack minded manager, who's Napoli side created the most chances in Serie A over a 3 year period, had the most shots on target and most goals scored. He will get plenty of chances in this team and his skill set is much better than Higuains in my eyes so he will offer more in terms of the build up as well as probably getting 15+ goals. 

Also keep reading he wants to leave apparently? Where? Is there a source? Or is it just twitter/facebook shit?

It was tounge in cheek. I clicked on the first page and saw that WE were all very excited to see Morata come here. Now WE mostly feel different about him being at the club. There was absolutely zero harm intended with that post. If I knew that you would reapond like that, i wouldn't have bothered.

Call me a numpty bint, but I still rate Morata, would love to see him get a full season under Sarri. The only striker I REALLY want out there (who is remotely available) is Icardi. IF Hazard goes (for say £180-190m) then we are crazy to not swoop for Icardi and Leon Bailey with the money, Plus toss in a player (Fabregas or Drinkwater if we sign Golovin  OR Bakayoko, as Inter have no real fulltime DMF atm OR even Moses as they have only one RB on the squad, D'Ambrosio, who soon turns 30) to Inter as makeweight. I am not a Higuain fan, I think he is on downward slope of career and we dont offer multi-year contracts to players over 30, and he is 31 in a little over 4 months.
