Álvaro Morata

[CurryFlavoured]

Not great, but better than what we have. I don't know how much better tbh, he has some room to grow.

 

[samshere]

I've been watching him for a few seasons. He's not afraid to shoot from distance. He's also lethal in the box. He's a very good natural goalscorer. I don't know how many times you've watched him but he does like to shoot.

Morata is a lethal finisher and very rarely passes in from of goal. As seen in the cup final, a lot of his finishing is one touch. His goalscoring record over the past 3 seasons is pretty good if you look at minutes played. It's absurd to judge his record by games played because he's usually on the bench.

.
I don't know, he looked more like a second striker to me whenever I watched him. Likes to bring others around in play. He also struggles against packed defenses, all his best performances have been in the CL where he gets more space. The fact that Juve play Mandzukic over him should give you a clue about his development.
Having said that, I haven't watched him nearly enough to form a strong opinion and I'll postpone my judgement till I see him play regularly.

The question is why haven't any big team made a move for Lacazette?? Like I really don't understand. Haven't watched him that much, but I find it baffling. People say he's similar to defoe and remy, but he looks better whenever I've watched him.

The big teams probably have watched him a lot and have not been convinced

I dont get it.if hes goood how the hell is he only scoring 7 times. Who starts over him. And I think this story is a plant. Makes no sense

Seems like a Giroud mkii, albeit younger. Would take a punt but not at the prices being mentioned in the media.

Think Wenger might prefer a no 9. One of those under the radar, Eduardo types. He's been experimenting with Walcott at no 9 and its failed pretty miserably.

He has some similar qualities to Giroud but basically has all the skills that we wish Giroud had aswell.

He can do what Giroud does and much more. He has amazing dribling and close controle for a big man. A more delicate shot and is overall a much better football player.

No, this is Giroud Mkii

Exactly why we should splash the big bucks on this guy

Banter when it turns out that all the reported interest was a ploy by Madrid to squeeze more money out of Juve.

Got his first few professional games on the wing for Real, plays almost as a second striker at Juventus, and he has fluffed a few chances. However, he's got a great record at youth level, has shown he's a great footballer, and has shown he can score in big games.

 

[GunnerGetYah]

He's not the clinical finisher that we need. Tired of players that can't hit a barn door, if we wanted 7 goals per season with dribbling, we should have stuck with Gervinho.

Mandžukić & Dybala, so you can understand why Morata doesnt start regularly.

 

[Rex Stone]

Mandzukic is a garbage man, lad's barely a footballer, just a c*nt.

How many times have you seen him play?

Obviously you don't know the player so stop moaning. You cannot think just with stats, let alone one stat. At least take in the account the number of minutes he played, the number of matches he started / at which position and against which teams he scored as well as the importance of his goals.

Last year the dude scored in both legs of the CL semi-finals againts Real Madrid and also in the Final against barcelona. He made epic matches against Dortmund too and Bayern this season and also offered Juventus the Cup. He also scored crucial goals in Seria A in the 2 years. He is young and CLUTCH...

If we buy him it will be for the obvious potential, not only stats.

Big gamble if his returns are similar and strikers of this nature usually start performing consistently well during the latter half of their 20's/early thirties. Big sum to fork out upfront. We need someone who would have a more immediate impact.

It's going to be hard for them to turn down another €20m euros over 3 years
