Given Perez's quotes late last night, I now believe this is close to being a done deal. I've been trying to get a heads up on this. Nothing. Nobody at United give anything away. The English press have ZERO insight. Perez's last-minute propaganda to protect himself and Real by saying 'we did our best to hold on to the player but he wanted out' tells me this is almost done. It's all we can go on. Nobody has any clue, otherwise.
Because Mourinho loves big sweaty men and Lacazette is too small to lumber about like a true Jose 9
That is unbearably naive...
Kane will not be sold. Tottenham are about to move into a new stadium and want their stars with them when they do. They don't need the money and Kane is pretty much priceless for them, impossible to replace. How is this so hard to understand? It's been addressed countless times in this thread alone...
And that's not even getting into the fact that Kane is clearly happy at Spurs, and probably feels much more comfortable in his happy group of mates, in a team on the rise, than with Mourinho's uncertain United project. I'd love to get Kane. But he's simply one of a growing number of unattainable players. The market just isn't what it used to be; it's time to stop moaning and start adjusting to the new reality.
The corrupt old bastard is simply putting this all on Morata as an "look Madristas (sound like a fecking boy band fanboys), we wanted him to stay but he wants to leave us"
Amoyal is a saint. Getting demands for info by a punk that looks about 12, calling him "buddy" and coolly responding. Kudos to him.
Impressive statistics.He has similar stats to ibra and kane, he better than martial and rashford and people are still posting
"he's not good enough, he should only be the back up to a big name"
Compare to the so called better strikers, Morata did well, take note of his far few minutes of playing (1300 mins) while the rest (2500+ mins).
It's the fifa-isation of transfers.
"Signing morata isn't a big name, I'm embarrassed that we won't sign X/Y/Z big name, all my friends will laugh at me"
Very serious, his crossing is awful, his entire ability to create quality at the top end is woeful
Lets hope we delay the medical until next week as it hasn't stopped raining since last weekend.
Leaving his wife on honeymoon would seem to suggest that he has his priorities correctly sorted - Utd, kids, wife in that order.

His wife is shocking for a guy as good looking as him. Just goes to show not everyone is a shallow cnut.

The thing is as well, most opposition fans think hes a good signing.
We must be seeing different instagram pages
Especially as Rashford was barely any better than Martial. He's just given a lot more leeway because he's homegrown, he was "played out of position a lot" and he's perceived to have a better attitude. In terms of actual contribution to the team he wasn't much better than Martial, if at all. His important goals against Chelsea and Anderlecht swing it in his favour.
Nah he did play better. Martial was lazy and very very poor at times. Rashford clearly had a better attitude. I love how its gone full circle and now half the caf comes down harder on home grown players to ensure they don't get an easy ride.
He did well when he played as a centre-forward. On the wings he was absolute shite for the vast majority of the season.
Yes, he tried harder than Martial. As Fergie said back then, somewhat condescendingly, fans love a trier. But he's awful as a wide player.
Wait, this is the Morata thread. Umm, so, I prefer Morata to Lukaku but he doesn't really excite me. There, I'm on topic now!
Could'nt agree more, I think the real problem with both Martial and Rashford is that they are struggling to nail down a position in the team, I hoped Martial would be a genuine #9 but Jose thought different and along come Zlatan, Rashford seems to get favourable selection because as you say he's 'homegrown', I personally can't see Rashford starting as many games as last season, and unless Martial has a storming pre-season he may have the same kind of season he just had, which has rightly been called dogs..te
Agreed. Morata is my top pick for CF. Really hope we get him.
I think Rashford had better movement and wasnt caught on his heels anywhere near enough as Martial was. Rashford comfortably had better performances last season and given he's a year or so behind Martial in experience its completely fair to give discretion.
Looks like Madrid now want £80m for Morata.
Seems like they may be moving the goal pots.

Up front, he absolutely did have better movement. On the wings, not so much. And Rashford played a LOT on the wings.

I'm not sure what anyone expecting after the DDG saga, buying from Madrid was never going to be easy after that.
I agree, I thought Rashford had a fairly poor season really. The thing is the first 2/3s of the season were forgotten about as soon as he did well against Chelsea. He then lived off this performance for a few more weeks where he didn't really do much. Scored a good freekick in the EL but really he was very quiet when he filled in for Ibra following the injury.
Thats no problem
Bid 120M for Mbappe(very publicly) that should focus them into answering the simpeliest question. Which player do you actually want?
Or are they just waiting to talk to Ronaldo first?
I know its still early but things dont look rosy.
Wel have to agree to disagree. Rashford was constantly taking on players comparative to martial, and was on his toes regardless of the position he played.
Martial laboured around the pitch, heavy footed and didn't look to bother anywhere near as much.
Agreed that neither can be trusted to put the ball in the back of the net consistently though. In my opinion, Morata can't either. He's been a great impact sub but it's wrong to extrapolate from there, or else we might as well throw Chicharito in the mix. Personally I'd have rather got Lacazette.

Its time real madrid come to reality, or we will show them that.
Start up the slave comments.
Harry Kane easily worth £150m? Are you serious? Spurs are an excellently coached team and he fits that system perfectly. I don't think he would be anywhere near as effective in another team.
I'd prefer Morata if they were both available at the same price.
I normally just breeze over nonsense posted on forums...I've got great patience.
But......
What? She's ridiculously pretty. Very unique looking.
She looks like your average Polish / German woman. Nothing unique about her at all.
I had a quick look at his 20 goals, and all bar 2 goals are the result of accurate crosses, poaching (rebounds) or defences carved open by team mates. The individual skill goals were one vs Deportivo (debately a 2nd vs Deportivo) and Granada. He very much relies on lots of service and is more Diego Costa than Suarez. Looking at his goals though, he is a good fit for EPL as he is solid in the air, has good feet and can finish either footed. He can replace Zlatans goals but we need another big hitter.
I would not believe a word that comes out of Perez's mouth. Hes on these radio shows to push his own agenda which is to look strong. Its a totally different culture compared to England where you hardly see club CEs talk so publicly about specific players.
Agreed. I think Morata would be a very good addition and will score goals for us, but we need another striker. Apart from Zlatan we were utterly hopeless at scoring last season so another striker will help sort that.
Yeah, not wanting Morata means I want Rooney to stay...
Fair play, and maybe when Ibra returns he'll get another deal, leaving us with both of them. Which would be something.
As Bob Dylan once said, 'I don't believe you'.
Cmon, before the season ended did any United fan want Morata? Really?
