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..

Not necessarily. It's possible that after joining Juventus and being wanted by Madrid again, and subsequently signing for them again that he got that out of his system already. When he leaves this time it'll likely be for good. Besides, players do leave Real and have success elsewhere without returning, Robben being the most obvious example.Still not 100% convinced we should sign Morata..

If we win silverware with him does it really matter? We'll buy someone else and Madrid can have him back for 140m.
But I seriously doubt he'd go back after being sold off twice!
I don't know why you'd think that tbh. There isn't anything to suggest he would want to go back. If anyththing the fact that he's determined to go elsewhere for more game time suggests otherwise.Still not 100% convinced we should sign Morata..

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.

It is anticipated further progress will be made in the attempt to sign striker Alvaro Morata from Real Madrid.
In theory, that transfer has been helped by Real distancing themselves from David de Gea.
However, there is an alternative view - that Real will drive the price up for Morata, knowing two of United's other targets, Antoine Griezmann and Romelu Lukaku, appear out of reach, then come back in for De Gea and attempt to drive the price down.
So, is this kid gonna be our #1 CF, do you reckon? Or will we sign another striker?
Some signings I have an instinctive feeling will be underwhelming or have a high 'flop' potential.
I had this feeling with Zlatan, and was proved totally wrong.
Have it again massively with this signing, hopefully I'm wrong again.
They will attempt to fleece us for Morata, then attempt to screw us over De Gea? How does that work, exactly? If they attempt to make us pay over the odds, we will do exactly the same thing to them. Or just tell them to piss off entirely. Which would be my preferred outcome.

The De Gea bit seems like pure speculation, but maybe the negotiations are more drawn out than we thought.
Rumours of Chelsea with an improved offer. Hope this doesn't become Pedro 2.0 ...

I don't think we'll attempt to do the deal with Madrid for Morata if we are serious about keeping De Gea and not allowing him to go anywhere
Not so sure about that to be honest.
I think his dream is still to make it at Madrid, thus, he would take the chance to go back in my opinion.
Because they won't drop Ronaldo or Benzema.Why Madrid is getting rid of this guy? He is young and if he is also good...why?
Why Madrid is getting rid of this guy? He is young and if he is also good...why?
He wants to leave and play more games regularly instead of coming of the bench.Why Madrid is getting rid of this guy? He is young and if he is also good...why?
Madrid don't want to get rid. Hence why they're asking for such a high price.Why Madrid is getting rid of this guy? He is young and if he is also good...why?

Just means we get Lukaku then. No biggie.
Please do! I'm not bothered about Chelsea signing Pedro, and to be honest, I'd rather we signed a different CF than Morata.
Yeah. Still hope we get this done quickly. No point haggling over a few quid for such a crucial, in-demand player.From AS and/or SPORT. BAsically the worst outlets in spain.
You guys will have a hell of a striker in your hands, maybe i can give you a bit of an insight(considering i watched all of his games for juve):
The guy is a beast, what he thrives on is mostly counteratacking football and you will be suprised how pacey he is and how good he moves off the ball. But what really makes him great player to have in your squad is he is clutch af, big game player and i can assure you he won't hide in those derbies. I think he will suit perfectly into Mourinhos playstyle, considering he also tracks back and contributes in deffence. TBH i was a lot more frustrated of the loss of Morata and Vidal, than i was when we lost Pogba, so that should speak for itself.
Anyway a lot of you that havent watched him and judge him only on his stats will be in for a big suprise!

unless outlets like COPE start running these stories about Chelsea or De Gea, it's all BS. Simple. AS/SPORT/MARCA etc etc are absolute dogshite.

You reckon he will score an own goal for real which proves to be our winner ?United 2 - 1 Real Madrid in the Super Cup. Morata to get the winner.
