Are you his agent or something.Yeah, or failing that, Peter Crouch might come
Oooooooooooo! Not like you.
Also if a club is giving a player away there is usually a damn good reason for it.Madrid are doing exactly what you would want your club to do. You have to be foolish if you think club's are in the business of doing favours unless there are obvious business gains.

Yet they got a deal on Ronnie....they want to sell Morata 10m more than what they paid for Ronaldo....I said back then it was a steal and should of been sold for 100m.
The money we spend on players is disturbing....Martial, Pogba, and now Morata.

It was a steal, but I would hope we would be selling him for a lot more now. I think some of it was pandering to Ronaldo's desire to go to Real. We were too soft, seeing he has used us a few times since to get his own way.The money we spend on players is disturbing....Martial, Pogba, and now Morata.

Different times, the price at that time was unprecedented. However, any price would be worth it for Ronaldo though so I agree it was a steal in someways.

Cantona was £1m, is Morata 80 times better then Cantona?! Is he?! fecking Woody!How was 25-30m above the world record a steal at the time!?
This window, we've had Southampton asking £60-70m for a centre back! So you can't compare it to the Ronaldo fee 8 years ago!
It's no more sensible than saying, wow, Shearer was £15m in 96, and now Harry Maguire has gone for £17m!
None of those available this summer, we'll get one in Griez next summer though.
And before you mention Dybala\Sanchez\Bale\Dembele etc:
Dybala - has expressed his desire to play in Spain and preferably Barcelona, in addition to talking shite about us and the PL during the Pogba saga
Sanchez - There is simply no way in hell Wenger will sell to us, even if Sanchez down tools
Bale - Won't be sold, injury prone and would cost ridiculous amounts of money
Dembele - wants to play in Spain, won't come and Dortmund won't sell this season
Griezmann at his release clause next summer is the only viable option.
Bale isn't available, it's a simple as that.If Real want 90m for Morata what are they going to want for Bale? Afterall they paid a world record fee for him. They would ask for 120m easy and then up that price if we meet it.
Cantona was £1m, is Morata 80 times better then Cantona?! Is he?! fecking Woody!
Im acknowledging a problem where there is one. I dont see whats wrong with that. I didn't mean an out and out striker, I meant world class players that can finish or create goals (preferably both). I think such players are available. We have the money, why can't we be more ruthless like Madrid are when they want a player and get someone like Dembele to United?If that kind of player isn't available then what's the point in saying it? Do we sign no one then, because there isn't a world class striker available?
We should go for Mbappe and that will truly piss off Real!
I generally agree. There's two things I'm not really sure of though a) is he Morientes' level or Drogba's level and b) are Martial, Mkhitaryan and Mata able to offer the necessary supplementary goal threat? From what I've seen he's closer to Morientes than Drogba, in which case I don't think he's really good enough to be sole/main striker for a CL winner. I do hold out hopes that the other players can flourish in his presence though, and I'm not sure there's many other players on the market that really offer that.
You can understand why Madrid are charging what they are but I think we'd probably be better off if Mourinho had a more flexible view on the kind of striker he needs. Someone like Dybala is probably worth the same amount but he's a significantly better player. It'd mean an entirely different attacking setup but I don't see why we should be so accepting of Mourinho's rigidity on this.

It's a nightmare. We're past the point where price matters anymore, so just pay the extra 10M and get the job done.
Because he's not available and even if he was, he doesn't want to come here.
I swear to God, this thread has added about 30 pages of crying today about "just pay the €90m" all because of some shitty report in feckin' goal.com Literally no good source is carrying this from Spain or England, just a couple of papers lazily quoting the goal.com report.
Last thing we legit actually heard was Morata's agent and father trying to force through the move, then reports it was going to be announced Thursday for about £60m. Absolutely nothing else currently suggests the transfer has hit another delay or that Madrid were still demanding €90m. Have a little patience, things will be clear soon enough.
Dortmund came out and announced that he's available for a relatively modest €60m, a few months after saying it'd take an outrageous for them to consider selling.Why is Mourinho not in for Aub for 60m. He must really be sold on Morata.
You guys seem to be pretty shit at haggling.
