Funnily enough, I was saying only yesterday that it was strange that Conte is not in for Morata as he signed him for Juve and also tried to sign him for Chelsea last summer - maybe they were just waiting for it to be confirmed that Madrid would sell
Maybe , I wouldn't be at all surprised if chelsea bought him. I can see him being more of a chelsea buy than utd
 
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!

Why does he score a lot of goals that never got counted for?

Let's be honest you could never have missed Morata more that the other two, the kid was pretty much finding his way at Juve.
 
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.
For a player who your lot wont give game time to? Please!

That's the last thing he wants to do.
No, its exactly what he wants to do in a world cup year. He wants to play. Real keep him in reserve. No good for Morata or Spain. He wants out. Thats why this is happening.

He does want to play and at Madrid he won't have that opportunity but i think his love for Real Madrid is unquestionable, as witnessed by him leaving to improve himself and rejoining. If he moves elsewhere and has a stellar year, he would gladly go back to Madrid anytime they come back interested.
 
Pardon my negativity, but I have a strong feeling we're about to get a sharp left turn on this one.

I can't see it just going through simply. Not when it involves Real Madrid and a Real Madrid player. I'm getting Sergio Ramos vibes. And I doubt they've forgotten about DDG so quickly.

Feel free to quote me if I'm wrong in the end, I hope I am.

He said in an interview that he didn't have any say in his return to Madrid, the contract he had signed obliged him. He actually wanted to stay at Juve.

He might want to play at madrid but they basically feckin him over. They exercised a buyback for a low €30M only to sit him on the bench. They are buying Mbappe and have Asensio getting more game time as him right now. Under ZZ's idea of using his own players that he knows from already being at the club. He is clearly not Zidanes man.

SO I cant see that changing even in the future.

I have the same feeling. I cannot for the life of me see Real Madrid selling us a player that we need and not being able to have De Gea as part of the deal.
 
After Griezmann, I'm just not getting my hopes up for anything in life.

Apparently they don't want De Gea. Zidane wants Navas.

It's hard to know what to believe and what to dismiss these days though.

Yeah, that €10 million+ could be crucial to the finances of your club and your future transfer dealings. I think you can be more than happy with quoted price.


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..

We are also paying for potential. It's a little bit strange when you say that and he is already 24 years old but he hasn't been given proper chance to be the main man yet on a regular basis and when you look at his qualities he can develop into a world-class striker.

I am more for buying still young, a motivated player with potential than not so motivated player who already reached his peak and isn't so eager to prove.

As for your other issue, he was let go by Madrid twice already. I don't think he will be coming back and if he does that would be because he reached a crazy level of performances after few years. All the more reasons to buy him IMO. Also, they will have Mbappe as their striker as things stand so I can't see him coming back there at all.
 

There is zero logic to that last line. If they fleece us for Morata we're not going to hand over De Gea for less money because we're skint and need to recoup it. If they play hardball, we will return in kind.

Wont be surprised if it in the 50's. Last few transfers United have made have been quite a bit lower then the press first reported.
Lindelof supposed to be 42m instead was 31m. Pogba 130m instead was 90m..

True. However I can still see this heading south, with him signing a new deal to stay at Madrid with assurances (tenuous or otherwise) of more playing time, and big Marca headlines trumpeting how Morata considered moving to United as a step down etc etc. Add in a few lines about how De Gea is still desperate to join Madrid and you've got yourself a nice bit of juicy propaganda.
 
Real can only play hardball for sometime. There won't be many clubs who will be willing to pay £62 million for morata, not because he is bad but because no club have this much money. Also, if not morata ,looks like we have other list to consider from aka belotti, lacazatte, lukaku. Real madrid knows that ultimately they have to accept. And not looks clear that morata wants to leave otherwise he won't be starting for spain in the world cup.
 
I'm surprised people are worried about this deal, Morata has been with the Spanish squad up until this morning which is most likely the reason for the hold up, I would expect things to pick up pretty quickly over the next 48 hours.

Why just 90m? Why not 140m which will help you get Mbappe also? And also 140m for James, you can use that 140m to buy DDG.
 
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.
Top quality journalism that. I mean it makes no sense whatsoever but who cares these days.

If you pay 73 in june maybe you could pay 90 at the end of august.140 is too much,we don't want to abuse :)

No feck it, we should ask them to give us €250M AND convince Neymar to come to us :devil:
 
So Real Madrid will try to drive the price up when they're selling and try to drive it down when they're buying?

Fecking business geniuses aren't they, wonder why nobody else thought of that. And what a scoop for Simon Stone.

:lol:

I thought exactly that.
 
So AC Milan has bought Andre Silva, leaving us as clear favourites.

No no. It's fine we are the richest club anyway we can afford to pay any amount teams ask us. You think we will get fleeced 90m for a substitute? :lol:
 
Marca will be the ones to break the official agreement first. Madrid's mouthpiece.
