He's like the opposite of Cavani. Less impressive statistics but good whenever I watch him.
Alvaro Morata
- Thread starter Adam-Utd
- Start date
A slower, less versatile, more expensive version of Welbeck, a player that lots of supporters never quite fancied. I'll pass.

I feel like Icardi would do well for United but i would worry about Rashford's development.
Icardi though doesnt look to be a Mourinho type striker..
Some users have been wondering why there are stories in the media that Juventus would not sell Morata directly this transfer window but give him back to Real Madrid who might sell him then.
The reason: There is a clause in the transfer contract between Real and Juve which I deem Juve unwilling to fulfill: Paying €80m to Real if they sell him before 16th July 2017.
This sounds as if The Sun have made this up but thanks to Football Leaks everybody can read the contract: https://openload.co/f/-IiqAKFz8Qo/Real_Madrid_&_Juventus_-_Alvaro_Morata.pdf

he'd be an excellent buy
He has been underwhelming whenever I've seen him with the exception of the return leg in the CL against us this season. His goalscoring record is equally underwhelming, I honestly have no clue why these crazy numbers are thrown around for a 23 year old striker who has never scored more than 8 goals in a league season.
Can someone explain to me what's so great about him?

He's Spanish.
Not a huge fan to be fair would rather Rashford with someone like Zlatan (if we do get a CF) to learn from for a couple of years than spend big money on Morata.
If we can get a better goal scoring 10 like James and a quality right sided attacker like Mahrez I think a new CF is not that necessary personally especially as we have Martial who I believe will score more and more as he gets older and more clinical.

I think that he does not want to be a substitute again and because of this probably will be sold, since it seems that Benzema has Zidane´s full confidence.
I guess the idea is to buy him back and make the preseason in Madrid awaiting offers ( Arsenal among others) , but it could also happen that he is included in some kind of deal with Juve involving Pogba.
In my opinion it all depends on what happens in the Champions League final . If Madrid loses everything can change.

Related topic: Has there been any update on the appeal of Real against FIFA's transfer ban in Spanish media? I haven't found anything specific other than that the decision should be made before 1st of July.

No, nothing new. What I heard at the time was that Madrid has confidence since among children there were many South Americans with dual citizenship or extravagances as the son of Zidane. I guess they know that will be sanctioned but expect a similar sanction to Barcelona
Thanks.
Morata at Real Madrid always reminded me of Danny Welbeck. In the sense you could often see a really good player there, but his goalscoring was too erratic and his play too inconsistent to be a great one.
I don't know if he grew into a different player at Juve, looking at the stats suggests he didn't. Nice player though, when he's on form and he has scored some big goals. Hmm, sounds a bit like I'm talking about Danny again.

I doubt it's true, but if it is spending 40m on a striker who barely scores would be silly. Especially in team that struggles to score.
Every time I watch this guy he always seems to impress me. Seems to be the full package. He does struggle with goals, though.
It looks like Morata may start for Spain at the Euros. The only other forwards on the roster are Aduriz, Nolito, and Lucas Vazquez. If so, I can see his Euro performance potentially weighing heavily on his future. Perez will not sell him if he bangs in a bunch of goals as the starting striker for Spain.
I mean, I'm not a mathematician, but offering Madrid £8m for a player they can immediately make a profit of £15.8m on doesn't seem a tack that's destined for success, IMHO.
Not really the full package then is he?
This is exactly what I get every time I watch him play. A lot similarities to Welbeck in the sense that he does a lot of good things and looks busy all the time but he's missing far too many things to become a top striker.
Looks good any time I see him. Was wondering why nobody was going for him. His goal record goes some way to explaining that.
Do you want me to answer that?
If you want?
Do not want!
So why ask?I don't
Why not?
Completely undeserved call up to the Spain squad. Even Torres would have been better selection. Morata must be Del Bosque's nephew.
This. He had a great run of form in CL knock-out games, but he's really average. The sums that are being discussed in the press are crazy, I'm not sure that I would even want him on a free. I want our club to sign top talents - he clearly isn't. He would've get some playing time if he was our academy product, but to buy him for 40 millions? Ridiculous.
It's a dark day when you read that news and go "I'll take it"
Someone wake me up. Is it 2016 again?
I think he'd be a good option for the right price.
We really are just digging up our old scouting reports on players. How transparent.
Has he died his hair red yet?
Utterly unreliable finisher but very good player. Like an inverse Inzaghi.
