How slow is he?
He'a actually quite pacey for his size and as a striker. He's also played a bit on the wing throughout his career as well. He's not slow by any means really.

He has great sprint speed like Varane.
Being critical is a part of forums. Not everything that the club does will be seen equally by the each an every fan. Fair enough if a majority of the fans think we are getting an excellent player but it's also quite possible that many other fans watched a player and didn't see anything worth getting excited about.
And why is this?
You don't think Morata will score 17 premier league goals next year? I will take that bet.
I disagree. He came to the epl at age 35 and scored a lionshare of our goals something neither the white pele nor rashford was able to do. Theres a reason why we will probably spend 70m+ to replace him
Heh, Ibra was world class for us this season? Think some people need to stop taking previous seasons into concideration when they talk about Zlatan. He had a good season for us concidering his age, but he wasn't even close to what he's been earlier in his career.
Proves who wrong? the people who claim he's shit without knowing enough about him to even realise he's fecking Spanish?
He scored a big share of our goals at age 35, in his first season in the epl and despite plating in a meah team. He was far better then all our forwards put together
Zlatan is stronger, more technical and has a better first touch, speed is the only thing Morata has on Zlatan which is important no doubt. I like Morata but if he's the guy to lead our lines when we go for all throphies it will be hard. To compete at the top you need top players. Morata isn't even close to a Rooney, RVN or RVP in his prime and if he was he wouldn't have been benched even in Real Madrid.
Zlatan was a temporary fix, Morata is an investment and sorry I dont rate him as others do. This is most likely the best he'll be since he's 25 already and not a young talent to develop. But as I said we don't have any choises and we need a striker. I really hope I'll be wrong and he sets the PL on fire.
Morata is a better finisher than Zlatan by a fair bit and that counts for a lot for us right now.
that's a great point @Jim Beam
if he's the man Jose wants he obviously has a plan for him - he knows the player well and that should let us see the best of him..... maybe he can be as explosive as Torres was
Players quite frequently improve even at age 25
Yes both are strikers. Just a feeling I have.
Exactly this. Jose Mourinho hasn't won as many trophies as he has by not knowing what he is doing.
Jesus I remember that, most random post and possibly the funniest post Ive ever seen here. Laughing now even recalling it.
*Edit* @Werder Herzog in the Paul Pogba thread.
When a person doesn't even know the players nationality they really shouldn't be allowed to have an opinion...
Now you are just making your own facts.
He left Juventus because the European champions activated his buyout clause.
reliable?

2 strikers? 5 new players?

The only problem I have with these big fees is, the pressure it puts on the player especially the younger ones. Whenever a player is bought for huge money he's expected to hit the ground running.
Delaney, about as reliable as the Sun.
No its not. See Harry Kane. Age isn't that important in football
Maybe a 3-5-2?
---------------DDG--------------
-----Bailly--Lindelof--Rojo------
Valencia-----Herrera-----Perisic
------Mikhitaryan--Pogba--------
--------Morata---Belotti---------
That's never gonna happen
I say feck it do both. Not scoring enough goals? then lets throw some strikers at the situation. Thats some forward thinking right there
One thing to remember when talking about fees is the massive increase in revenue.
So the sum Liverpool wanted to pay for van Dijk, which was ridiculed, is relatively speaking far less than the 8 million they paid for Collymore in 1995. I would presume our numbers are even more extreme. 60, 70 or whatever is not that important as long as we get our man.

I'm curious what would happen to Morata's price if he forces a move out of RM?
Either way, he'll be a United player soon.

Terrible journalist.
I don't believe we'll go for both at the same time considering their price. Can you imagine spending 60m on Morata and 80m on Belotti ? about +140m spent on 2 strikers only, what will we pay for the rest of our transfers ?
We'll only get another striker if a cheap option is present.
We should have signed Defoe, he would have been perfect to have on the bench.
He's 25 and has played for Madrid and Juventus. The price shouldn't faze him. And anyway no one expects him to score too many.
Wasn't overly keen on Morata, but I'm starting to warm to the idea. I'm hoping he will be similar to Diego Costa (minus the being a twat part), someone who doesn't look like he excels at any one particular part of the game, but just constantly scores goals.
Yes he scored the most goals out of a Group of forwards who didnt score close to enough goals. He was good, not fantastic. He was also slow and imo this badly crippled our ability to flow forward with the ball. I also vaguely recall a long stretch without any goals at all. Again; he was still good, but not phenomenal.
The 35 year old Zlatan isnt the same as the 30 year old one and some folks struggle to seperate the two imo.
Call me miserable but this signing just doesn't excite me at all. Hope to be proven wrong.
Get that feeling too
I'd take a second look at his conversion rate if I were you. Ibragod squandered quite a few chances the meh team created for him.
Has a lot of potential. He will be a great signing. However, I am not that confident about his ability to battle for the golden boot.
I'd be happy with this signing. I think he'll score 25+ goals easily enough.
Just interesting to see what his link up play with the others in like.

Would be the most antimuppet starting striker signing ever.
I doubt that. People constantly give Pogba (who btw is a midfielder) stick for not scoring enogh goals for a £90m player. If anything Morata will be expected to score more than Pogba.
It wont be that much of a burden as every tom dick and harry is going for 50m+ and big money signings are too common now a days
Important we get the right players around him now.
