One change for me and that's the perfect song.

Brilliant.

EDIT:

Like a big Spanish guy,
His goal tally is high,
That's Morataaaaa

United will shine,
When he wears number 9,
That's Morataaaaa

Is this a better fit?

Bloody hell I wonder if this is how Drake makes his raps!
 
I really hope this doesn't turn out to be like Greizmann. I personally don't think it will butI never thought "Greizmann" would turn into Greizmann!

This is fantastic. Hope it's used (if he signs).
 
Hope we get more than 70me out of you lot. Still no mention on any Spanish news that Man Utd have an agreement with Real Madrid, everyone still saying the same thing, agreement with Morata.

Hope we push for at least 80/90me.

why.... Be realistic that fee should only be for future Ballon D'or candidates, doubt Morata would ever reach that level even if he scored 30-50 goals a season, I can see him reaching peak Lewandowski levels
 
I've barely seen Morata, is he quick? I've seen clips and he doesn't seem slow for sure but couldn't tell if he was especially quick.

70me is already a rip off :lol:

On a scale of Carrick to Rashford, I'd say he's a Herrera.

I think a Real fan here said he is faster than Bale, which I doubt but I guess that it means he is still pretty fast. I think he's one of those guys that's very fast over longer distances cos of his huge strides.

After watching this, maybe i'll upgrade him to a rating of Martial. Didn't realise it was was him that set up that Cuadrado goal against Bayern, unbelievable run. Also, I see what you mean, I forget he's pretty tall, his strides are large.

He was probably referring to pulling the birds faster.
 
To the tune of 'That's Amore', continuing the Italian theme.

It's just that his goal tally is shit tbh. The guy managed 15 goals in 65 matches for a dominant side like Juventus in Serie A.

I don't think he's worth more than £40m personally. Still, we're the richest club in the world and it's not my money!

15 goals and 5 assists in 26 La Liga apps (12 of which he came off the bench) isn't too bad. I've re-drafted it, I feel there's something better out there though.
 
so i've seen some comments about the Pedrosi tweet saying 48 hours.

If folks followed the pogba thread closely, the "48 hours" shtick is used because they have no idea about his arrival date. They kept saying 48 hours for pogba because they had no idea it was going to be announced as he left his holiday.

Pedrosi is a good journo, he was well versed on the pogba deal, but time frames are not his strong suit. I'd imagine this deal is now done and it all about lawyers okaying everything and getting ready for his trip.

Funny how you value him so high yet you pay him peanuts.

Cadena and Cope both say that the price is 70m euros.
 
Most Real fans seem to be bitter about the idea of selling him and would prefer selling Benzema. It seems that Benzema is just a better fit to partner Ronaldo.
I think they know Morata much better than all of us so based on that and what I have seen I would at least prefer him to Lukaku and Belotti and also an 18 yrs old who played one great season.

This is what concerns me. Think there's still a possibility that Real have a change of heart and keep him.

Personally I don´t think so. We all rate Morata but the offer is too good for a substitute and would be weird to lose 70/75m€ when we can use the money to buy Mbappé, besides he wants more prominence in the team and Madrid won´t assure him that.
We would be leaving a Spanish player(a year before world cup) without the possibility of relaunching his career and without a significant economic improvement
 
He is just 24 so still has plenty of room for improvement. I reckon we are getting the best striker available.

I am really wondering that you guys put so much faith into Mbappe. He played a great season but so did Memphis or Renato Sanches.
And everytime people are saying "but THIS guy is something special/different" etc.
Might become the next Ronaldo but I am not so keen on signing him for United. At least not for 100 Mio +.
Also if you buy him I am not sure he would fit in at your current set up. Would be a good partner for Morata though.

Exactly! Mbappe is worth no more than 35€ + a few add ons. He needs to prove it again next season.

Imagine that he goes to another top club repeating a similar season with the World Cup in the summer. Surely we would have lost the option to sign him in the medium term.
Most elite strikers have good numbers at that age and continue progressively improving their numbers as the years pass, so someone who is able to get it with 18, in champions and showing so much maturity could be considered unusual.
I'm surprised that United pay 100 million for Pogba, being a midfielder and then there are so many doubts about Mbappe. He will surely fit into the system.
In any case it is a gamble. Obviously winning two champions have given the club peace for a while with the possibility of making a mistake
 
Still not 100% convinced we should sign Morata..

He's got some quality that's for sure. However, is he 70m+ quality? Additionally his heart is clearly in Madrid and as soon as he starts being (very) successful with us there will be the same story as with DDG - again and again and again..

Of course there are limited alternatives on the market but I am still not sure if he would be that much of an upgrade compared to someone like Martial, who - when plaing as a striker - has already proven that he can deliver. Anyways, we will see what happens..
