But you said he was bench player and the club as this time also had Tevez in the striker option. How the managers know him at a regular basis if he was being benched a lot ?

What the problem in him being a bench player before or not ? It can be problem for the fee and that's the point I agree with that we shouldn't pay what Madrid asked for him, but we should evaluate the player on his skills and abilities, not if he was a bench in a system not suited for him or not. I don't think anyone considered Robben a really successful player before joining Bayern from Madrid. Things change and a bench player can be great in other teams suited for him more.

Also he's not an old player anyway. He's only still 24 and didn't even reach his peak in football yet.

Didn't robben win the league with Chelsea and was considered as one of the best wingers in the world when he moved to real? I would count that as being successful.

Managers can see players in training? Thus can't be a new concept for you. The problem is that you don't know if he has the mentality to be the main striker and every single one of his managers have made a judgment that he isn't ready to be. We then come along on our white horse with a near world record fee to make him our main striker and later moan when he disappoints. The lad doesn't even want to leave Madrid Ffs.

He couldnt force out the worst Benzema in years but would be worth 90 million, we are the mugs if we fall for this, again.

Real will never replace Benzema with other striker. They have multiple chances in recent years to get better strikers and never did it, because it's obvious how Benzema even when not scoring helps Ronaldo in scoring his goals and didn't interfere with him on the bench, and Ronaldo scoring his loads of goals that brings trophies is better than satisfying any other player in the squad. Benzema decided to be a helping company for Ronaldo rather being a scoring striker for the sake of the team, something other strikers will never do.

Exactly but posters here will put that down to system and getting the best out of Ronaldo while selling Morata all around game.

Do you know lukaku, belotti price? And something about play style?
 
I suspect this will be a done deal by next week. Still have reservations about him but will have to wait and see. Ultimately it's about what Mou wants

And he failed with Madrid and considered a reject there. Would you have consider buying him or you would fear the shadows of his failure at Madrid would affect him for the rest for his career ? Sometimes you need to take a gamble and Bayern did it.

I think Jose will know his mentality better than anyone, though, since he was the one who gave him his debut at Madrid and Morata appearance at all was thanks to Jose, so if he thinks he has the right mentality to be the number one choice so be it, he knows him better than us and I don't think he'll put him as a priority if he doesn't know his mentality or if he wants to come here or not. Don't forget that he's still young and still has all his career in front of him. If he succeeds here we can win a striker for many years.

Anyone want to translate Morata's interview?

Just searching through the latest posts on twitter and somebody quoted this [translated by google from Spanish]
Morata "like James and I are colleagues the coming year" - both coming to Manchester?
 
Cracking header that.

Not just on the strength of that but I hope we get this one purely on the basis he seems Mourinho's first choice.
 
If he doesn't stay in Real Madrid I would like him to play for Mourinho or in Chelsea, if he becomes a regular a striker there he would be massive leading the line for Spain. Still don't know why many on you guys here don't rate him and would prefer someone like Icardi, who is also very good mind you, maybe if he was Brazilian or Argentinian but it's not like Spain is a bad football nation more like the opposite.

This is just from his last season in Real Madrid (and a few games for Spain).
 
I really can't get excited about this. What's his outstanding qualities? Is he really a player to lead the line and score 30 goals?

He's good at football and is an excellent backgammon player.

If you don't know what his qualities are, how can you form an opinion that you can't get behind the move?

When did I say I don't know his qualities? I merely asked what his outstanding ones are.

Yeah he's good at football, but Manchester United need great players.
 
Sounds like well chuck £100m at Madrid for James and Morata then.
 
He's not worth £60m simple as that.

Pogba's fee was justified by his marketability we won't get that from Morata.

Even with the inflated fees in football it seems £20m too much for a bench player.

He's good and will fit into the team but I can't help be completely underwhelmed. I really hope I'm proved wrong but I can't see him being the 30 goal a season striker we need next season.
 
Morata is great with his head and feet. I want him at United but at the prices being quoted, I'd rather we broke the bank for 24 yr old goal scoring machine, Icardi.

He will be more expensive. And we still want griezman when ever he moves.
 
In March 2014, Morata shaved off all of his hair in solidarity with sick children, saying "kids with cancer wanted to have my haircut but they couldn't, so I gave myself theirs"

Love him already.
