How much was Altetico getting Lacazette for?
I rate Morata and think he'd be a good signing for us, but he definitely isn't world class. At least not yet.
Only this season.
Andre Silva from Porto.
Don't all players in Spain have a buyout written into their contracts?
Tell us better striker options than the ones we're linked to, or were you supposing we'll get Lewa or Kane ?
There are posts like that for every average player going it seems. We had experts posting about how great Perisic was on Twitter. As football fans we're allowed to watch and draw our own conclusions.
As someone who watched him playing for Castilla on Real Madrid tv quite regularly, all I ever saw was a bang average striker. He's done nothing since those days to change my view of him. I could care less that he's scored a few important goals, so has Jesse Lingard, you're not gonna sell him as anything other than a bang average player either.
Nah, not worth that much. I'm not sure I believe the prices being quote anyway. Real Madrid bought him back for €30m last summer at he's been warming bench.
I doubt they'll find buyer for above €50m. But if they do good luck to them.
They bought him back for that because it was the buy back clause that was set when he moved to Juventus. And he's a bench warmer because they have Ronaldo and Benzema. Why do so many people keep missing something so obvious?Nah, not worth that much. I'm not sure I believe the prices being quote anyway.

It'll be us.
They don't like him very much do they?It's almost like Real don't want to see Morata happy. Don't want to play him but don't want anyone else to have him either.
He's definitely at the point of his career where he's ready to move up to the next level. A club like United or one of the Italian sides would seem ideal.
I want PL proven goals - Romelu would be a great signing in my opinion.
But it's not my job to secure signings and improve our squad, it's the board's, and paying this type of money for a 2nd rate Real striker doesn't excite me, at all.
If he signs, hope I'm wrong, but I'm just being honest.
Chicharito had a good goal to minute ratio too, a great one actually, you don't see anyone paying anything over £20m for his though. Stats like that are utterly pointless.Some people call him the spanish Welbeck, well, he has a pretty good goal per minute ratio.
And that's without scoring any pens.
This. I'd rather see Phil Jones starting up front for us than being bottom violated by these vermin!
Moratta is a very good player and is a lot more skilful then you'd imagine. But for £78 mill you can buy Aubameyang and get change.
Only this season.
It'll be us.

Aubameyangs price is well below the prices quoted for moratta and belotti. It makes no sense that we aren't in for him.
If they want £78 we might as well bid for demeble in Dortmund because that's the price he was quoted at.
Lukaku price is 80-100m, and he himself has enough doubts regarding his big games performance and how he disappears in them. Question is are you willing to pay 100m for a player who's not a " big games player " ? Lukaku is just the EPL version of Higuain. A good striker but won't you move forward to what you want.
Fact is: the striker options in the market aren't the best and all have their doubts. The available options are Lukaku, Beltti, Lacazette and Morata. Can you be 100% sure about anyone of them ? They're not Lewa and Kane and that's the fact. The options present for us aren't the best and we have to deal with it. The only world class player we could have got this summer was Griezmann and failed. The other players all have their doubts.
Lukaku isn't a doubted PL striker though.
There's literally no doubt that he'll bag goals in the PL, and will dominate most teams.
At United he'd guarantee 20-30 goals a season, without doubt.
This guy is a doubt in the PL, it's a league that some turn up in and just can't find rhythm. So a 2nd rate Real striker, who has no PL guarantees should never be being bought as our main striker for silly money.
I'm very interested to know who this guy's agent is, anyone know?

Thing is, a lot said Pogba wasn't worth his fee (many still do). Ultimately, its a sellsers market so the prices will all seem inflated this summer.
Inflated prices for top players is expected. But not worth who is way off top.Thing is, a lot said Pogba wasn't worth his fee (many still do). Ultimately, its a sellsers market so the prices will all seem inflated this summer.

Morata is not a target man. Only lukaku or Celtic moussa dembele fits that profile.Not Mourinho's style of the striker. He wants a target man upfront to build the play on him.

So you won't take that as improvement. It's only previous seasons that count?1 season. Everything else suggest he doesn't score goals. Was he the second top scorer in la liga to? Did he get more goals than Suarez and co?
