I was about to post a variation of that.
Just one Morata
Give him to me
The Spanish Welbeck
From Italy
73M?!? GBP? EUR? Oh come on, since when is Morata the new Cristiano Ronaldo? This is insane, Real asking for 73M for a player.
I hope Jose has a clear idea on how to use Morata because that can go South very easily at this price point...

By joining us he's clearly shown himself to be lacking ambition.
Do not want.
Do not want.
Yep but this time, we want the Argentinian because he seems to have some ability.
It all depends on the price point though.
That table... Jesus fecking Christ... those are their Top 30 transfers of the PL era? No wonder they've won jack.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.
PS: The source for the pic is @bojochris on twitter.
Morati done dealio nearlyo.
Why not both? About time we had a new Del Piero/Inzaghi partnership.
I'm sure he doesn't. He is just pissing our money away as part of an elaborate windup. Such a troll.
Wonderful post. Really top notch.
Anyone know how reliable Pablo Perez is?
Big athletic strikers rarely work out in Mou's system. Not sure he knows what he's doing.
At this price point, you don't have that much margin to fail, and every manager takes a risk with a player.
Usually, you pay the price low enough so that it doesn't become an issue even if it doesn't work out.
Or you pay more to have a guaranteed success.
Can we say at 99% confidence point that Morata will be a success with a 73M price tag?
It's not a troll to doubt, and I'm kind of surprised to be treated as one actually, I've never really been one on Redcafe for all those years I've been here.
Another Spanish goalie? FFS Woody.
This is far from being done.
Bellotti here we come

I'm glad we have you to keep us informed on the progress of negotiations.
There always has to be that 11th hour moment of doubt with a United transfer.
Even when we sign a player history says wait till you actually see them on the pitch for us
John Obi Mikel says hi
Sounds like your typical transfer, club sounds out a player first and sorts out the personal terms. Then approaches the club to sound out a fee. Could all be bullshit but we shall see what happens. A fee rumoured in the region of 70m seems reckon ludicrous though the markets bonkers. I think Jose will be proved right in his comments on Pogba's fee. That 90m will seem like a bargain in the not so near future.
Lol. Yes that's us.
You can only admire optimism in here. Whether it's about quality of a player or about our ability to finalize the deal. Yeah, if we made our second offer today (and there were several reports about it), €73 million deal with Real Madrid can be concluded within few hours and officially announced.
There are about 10 lawyers in it from each side going through every word on paper and club's representatives who are not in best relations but more importantly who are discussing not just the total fee but also installments, maybe profit of future sale or whatever comes to their mind.
It is best when you do it without any media coverage and we did it before, but when dealing with Real or in fact when you are talking about a deal of this size that is impossible.

You do realize this isn't 2009 anymore, right?
73M is a reasonable price for that kind of player. Ronaldo would've cost 200M in today's market.
Inside agent working for Chelsea
With so few options available, personally this was the striker i had wanted after Icardi. However, i still think he is a striker with many good qualities without really excelling in one. If he can continue to improve with games, he could go on to becoming a very complete striker. As such, JM will be looking for goals from his wide 2, and 1 of his 3 central midfielders. James Rodriguez is surely a lock-in for our next signings with a CB, LB and DM to complete our transfers.8
Good Spanish contingent at the team.
Maybe Thiago is next
Seriously though, Morata will be a success imo. Fee is extensive, but that's the market.

Reminds me of a young Van Persie a bit.
Helped my Fulham team win back to back league titles, so worth a punt. We'll need to buy Nathan Redmond and Kevin Volland for the wings with Morata as the tip of the spear for it to work properly, with James Ward-Prowse as our playmaker.
You say he can hold the ball well - what's he like under pressure? Can he still do that? If he is then he would be a great asset for us against a team like Liverpool when they try to put pressure on us when we're building up our attacks in their final third.

73m is an absurd price for a player like this. I'm normally very optimistic about any signings that United makes, and I always support all our players, but I can't help but feel he's a 30m player. Yes I know transfer fees are sky rocketing etc but we are still vastly overpaying for a benchwarmer.
Is he the player to lead our line and score 30 goals per season? I can't help but feel it's a big downgrade from Zlatan. Damn that injury!

the fact transfer fees seem to remain stagnant forever in people's heads is a constant mystery to me
So according to that El Pais report the fee is £61.6 million. Pretty fair in this mad transfer market.
Who else is paying 73m for back-up strikers?
We'll be forced to pay a lot for a striker this summer anyway or we won't get anyway, either Belotti or Morata will cost us a fortune so just finish Morata deal's quickly or we will never move to the next transfer. We won't get a striker for a cheap price this summer unless people here are deceiving themselves.
I would say reasonably so, El País seems to to be the equivalent of the Guardian of the Spanish speaking world.
In the article they specify details such as his representatives meeting to finalise the deal and that he will receive a four year contract at United.
Who is we? The caftards?
He's Spanish.
How in the world is Morata Danny Welbeck? Morata is a great player with a proven track record against the best teams in Europe. Only track record Welbeck has worth noting is his appearances in the emergency room.
