Ah I see. As you wereIt's a joke based off a Google translate of a Marca article about Morata.
Either he has a future at Madrid or he has not but that is irrelevant in the discussion. Morata is a damn good player and him being a Madrid reject does not change that at all. Robben and Sneijder were also Madrid rejects.
It makes 0 sense to say Lukaku for Morata is a beter deal because one is a PL proven striker for Everton and the other is a player who is second choice to Benzema at Madrid. Morata at Everton would also be first choice and if you are scoring 15 goals in 1k minutes in la liga, you certainly are able to score 25 goals or more in the PL if you are given 3k+ minutes of playing time.
Madrid is just a worldclass team atm, not getting to play every single minute there is not something to be ashamed off or that means you must be a poor player.
Reason Madrid is asking £70m for him is because they don't want to sell him, it is also the reason he is not transferred to ACM. Zidane has asked Perez not to sell Morata because he wants him at Madrid and it is the reason they bought him back from Juve last year. Not a reject by any means, just a player that wants to move to another club to get more minutes
We paid 130m to them for their 3 players. Think thats more than enough.No offense to resident Everton fans here, honestly, but it's a tad amusing United took a Ferrari off of them a decade ago, now back trading in that old broken down model and riding off in their new one.

Why stop at 2 then? What if the both of them cant score? Lets get 5 just to be sure.
I reckon his first touch has improved from this.
Wish I could say the same.Great chatting with you.
I wasn't sold at first.
But I think he would be great, he's big, powerful, strong and still has a high level of technical ability.
He'll bully the feck out of defenders, plus he's a great target man and has great link-up play too.
Also think he'll link up quite well with Pogba and and allow Rashford/Martial to thrive by drawing defenders out of position.
He's such a good goalscorer that he is not reliant on crossing or that type of game. Infact last season we did not even play with wingers once Bolasie was injured early on. Miralles and Barkley as the wide men who both like to drift in and Baines crossing is not what it was and he hardly laid up many for Lukaku.Haven't been able to follow the thread, logging into 40-50 new pages. Still a wee bit ambivalent about this but as long as he gets the goals and rectifies our major problem it'd be great.

Apologies if you've been tagged already or if this has been discussed already.
Just wondering if our approach or our attacking personnel are conducive to Lukaku's style myself. The likes of Mkhitaryan, Mata, Rashford, Martial etc prefer cutting in from wider areas and aren't exactly renowned for their service from out wide. Likewise Valencia (although he's improved vastly last season but is not a great source of supply imo) and Shaw aren't exactly great crossers themselves. Blind is arguably our best crosser but doesn't play LB much.
That is not to pigeonhole Lukaku as a limited and an exclusive aerially oriented goalscorer. He's certainly got a nice finish and pretty deceptive pace on him, and is capable of scoring various types of goals. However, he does seem like the sort of forward who'd prefer playing in a more wide-ish system with a decent supply of service from wide, as opposed to a more centrally oriented system with more narrow-ish forwards.
Now I'm no expert on him or Everton for that matter, so would really appreciate it if you could shed some light on these issues whilst providing some insight into Everton's style of play (how integral were the likes of Coleman-Baines, and to a much lesser extent Delofeu and Mirallas, to Everton and Lukaku, and whether he'd be able to adapt to a more central system, his link-up play etc).
Cheers.
4 against Bournemouth, 4 against Sunderland, 2 against Hull and 1 against Middlesbrough. 2 against Watford as well.
So basically, he loves putting relegation fodder to the sword.
On the other hand, he did well against City, Arsenal and Leicester. And he has a fantastic record against West Ham.
Wish I could say the same.

Lukaku is more technically gifted than Harry Kane. I welcome any disagreements to that statement.Agreed, worse than average.
BOOM!In the 95/96 season when Shearer scored 31 goals in 35 matches :
Against the 7 worst sides - he scored 15 goals
Bolton (20) . 3 goals
QPR (19) - 2 goals
Man C (18) - 2 goals
Soton (17) 1 goal
Coventry (16) - 3 goals
Sheffield W (15) - 2 goals
Wimbledon (14) - 2 goals
Against the top 6 sides - he scored 2 (1 against us and 1 against Villa)
So does that mean that Shearer was useless and only scared against poor sides ?
That is just downright racist. You should be ashamed of yourself.I would have preferred the white player Kane, but he'll do just as well.

He's going to great i am sure of it i just hope we can hold out for 90m.

He will do great. His best performances come when we had the opposition pinned in and you can engage him alot and get him alot of touches. United should be able to do that most games.
His weakness would be his decision making on the counter attack and fecking up an easy pass or situation a bit to often. Makes me laugh really becuase for years everyone kept telling me he only suited a counter attack system which is not true at all.

And I don't mean it as a criticism against your post - but a few other before you who claimed he only scored against poor sides
No, I can't. Can you, seen as you're so interested?
One thing I will tell you without checking again, is that Agüero's record is pretty much flawless in that regard.
I'm torn. I've never been a huge fan to be honest, I question his touch/control and technical ability. Having said that if he can score 25 league goals for Everton then he should do well for us.
We do get absolutely rinsed on every transfer, it has to be said. I know it's not my money, and the club is doing very well commercially right now, but do we really have the funds to be spending 200m every summer?
It's amazing how he scored so many goals.Everton fans seem to disagree with you
