It hilarious isn't it
Wenger apparently at the game today
Just scored in extra time with practically his first touch.
I watch Juve occasionally and what strikes me is that he isn't suited to play in a team or a league which is slow. He excels when he has space to run into and more so in a team which plays counter attacking football more than anything. I don't know if we have the right environment for such a player to be a success.
Big game player, good signing for Arsenal they need a big game striker
True. That's why he does well for us in CL. In Serie A, he struggles, because teams usually park the bus against us.
Anyway, someone needs to sign both Higuain and Morata. The complement each other perfectly. One only scores in the biggest games, the other scores in every game but the biggest games
.If we had to put money on it right now. Arsenal, Utd, City, PSG or Chelsea? Factor in playing time, and money more than anything.
I am fancying PSG to replace Ibra

I think he will end up at Arsenal or staying in Madrid.
Morata really needs to go to a club where he will have a very good shot at becoming first choice. United seem likely to get Ibra, which rules that out. Chelsea seem likely to get Lukaku, and its not clear that Morata would be first choice there anyway with Costa around. City makes no sense with Aguero and Iheanacho. PSG will make Cavani first choice in the center with Zlatan gone and, if they get another CF, seem most likely to make a bigger splash on a player like Higuain.
If he has a quiet to OK Euro, I think he gets sold to Arsenal for 35-40m pounds afterward. If he has a great Euro, I think Madrid will be hesitant to sell and will try to convince him to stay.
Arsenal or Chelsea look the most likely destinations and I think Real would prefer he goes to Arsenal. If he goes to Chelsea it increases the likelihood Costa goes back to La Liga to strengthen a rival.
Would have him at United in a heartbeat.
But would he want us?
Conte plays 3-5-2 the media reckon, maybe wants to partner them. But i agree, madrid arent going to do anything to improve Atleti
Madrid are interested in Courtois. And always had a developing interest in Hazard.
So I doubt they'd refuse a big offer from Chelsea. Would hurt them if they wanna take the interest in the above players further.
He is 23, playing in a team that has won their league 5 years in a row, and only scored 4 more goals than a Marcus Rashford who played 30 games less.
Instead of getting shafted by Madrid, I would rather we just gave Rashford the game time to be honest.

God no. Overrated as hell.
I think there's an even money chance that he could be back at Real next season.
Saw an article (possibly 365?) that delved a little beyond his goals / games ratio
As a lot of his appearances are either not the full 90 mins or as a sub and as he plays across the front three it looked at goals / assists and he averages one every 104 mins... Actually that's pretty impressive when you think about it

but our manager is mourinho, Morata is a defensive striker... easy decision
That's a great number if it's true. 2nd behind Aguero in the Prem last year, and comfortably ahead of #3, though I think that's only guys with like 8+ goals
He is a striker that doesn't score that much in a relatively easy league playing for the best team in the league with the likes of Pogba and Dybala around him. Not a good idea to go after him, especially for a team that seems to be devoid of creativity.
How has he become so highly rated all of a sudden? Those prices that are quoted are insane for a player like him.
I can't see this, Italian football is different they're used to this system but we've never seen this successfully implemented in the PL yet for any significant amount of time, surely Conte is capable of being more adaptable and finding a system that fits his players? Where do Azpilicueta and Hazard fit in to this?
Non-penalty goals from shots taken inside the area in Serie A or PL
Morata (2015/6) 6 goals from 36 shots taken inside the area - 16.7% conversion rate
Morata (2014/5) 6 goals from 34 shots - 17.6%
Rashford 5 goals from 13 shots taken inside the box in the PL - 38.4%
Dybala 7 goals from 49 shots - 14% (an unusually big chunk of his total goals come from pens and shots taken outside the area)
Higuain - 29 goals from 130 shots - 22%
Welbeck 4 from 18 - 22%
Vardy 18 from 90 - 20%
Kane 18 from 100 - 18%
Hernandez for Leverkusen 13 from 49 - 26%

Difficult to say if someone will be a hit or a miss. Aubameyang could easily flop in the prem too. Depending on the prices though, theyre worth a punt
I know some dont fancy him, but I would hate to see Morata at Chelsea
The Independent and MEN are reporting that Jose is interested. But why? It seems a forgone conclusion that Zlatan will join. Perhaps he can play on the right as a wide forward, circa Martial? Or would his talents be wasted out wide?
This guy seems bang average.
Yes, anyone talking about goals/game re. Morata needs to pay closer attention. His strike rate is pretty good considering minutes on the pitch.

Perhaps the bigger concern is that he has not done enough to be seen as an automatic first choice, though.
That is not quite the case. He has been superb in the CL and big domestic games, but has not been shrewd enough against smaller Serie A teams who keep things tight. Manzukic is made for the Italian league, Morata is not. I can see the latter excelling in the Premier League with his pace, strength and technical ability in the larger amount of space.
Never a fan of this argument for that reason - Giroud's goals per minute is similar to Kane's for last season, but it's obvious that Kane's the far superior striker, and this hides the fact that Giroud was dropped from the starting line up at various points in the campaign.
Still, I'd love Arsenal to buy Morata.
I would not say Kane is far superior to Giroud. He is maybe a bit better, and more importantly has room to improve, but Giroud is underrated.
I don't rate this player at all. The Spanish Welbeck.
Conte please sign him so Mourinho isn't tempted.
In terms of goalscoring yes.. in terms of technical ability/link up play he could be world class.
No idea what purpose he could solve for us.
I don't think he is that highly rated. At least I find it hard to believe that he is. Real intend to buy him back and sell him apparently, so they're probably trying to create some hype to drive up the selling price?
Please never sign him, we have Rashford and maybe Zlatan.. Morata indeed has good skills and I like him but I always feel that he lacks something when I watch him..
Paper talk. Reckon Mourinho doesn't even want him
