That would be splashing the cash for the sake of it. Don't think we have that kinda money. Plus we have Real in the frame, who surely have a buy back clause. Would rather us use the money to push for one of Real's forwards in the event this dude heads back.

'It's much easier to score in the Premier League, where the ball doesn't stop moving, the action is everywhere and the midfield is non-existent,' the striker, who scored 84 Premier League goals and won three titles, told Italian paper La Repubblica.
'Here you see a striker up against five defenders, it's much more difficult than in England. The Italian league is of a high standard.'
From Tevez who had enough experience of both leagues.

Yes Real do have a buy back clause, thats what this whole rumour is about. They take him back for a bit more than they sold him, and sell on (hopefully to us) for about £20m more. Its not splashing the cash for the sake of it, its buying a young striker with far greater potential then we currently have.

Agreed. This one is worth the risk. How many times have we been beaten to the punch by another club. Only to discover a season later that we made a mistake.

Morata's clause doesn't kick into until the start of July so, until then, no one can really do anything. (If Juventus sell him on before the buyback clause expires, they'd have to pay 80 million euros.
That being said, given the options, Morata would be a good option. He's behind the pecking order of Dybala who's probably been the signing of the season in Serie A, meaning he has barely got a good run of games. With Welbeck injured, the fact he can play both sides of the wing would be handy. Still gets a goal and assist every 0.8 games, which is good for a player who isn't first choice at their team. Probably would be inflated at around the £40 million mark, but then again, finding value for strikers is a rarity. Juventus really looked like they needed Morata during the Copa Italia, and of course, went on the score. I'd imagine they'd want to keep him still but it's all in Real Madrid's hands.

Would you not go for Morata? If I thought we could get PEA then I would prefer him. We have to bring someone in and for me Morata is worth the risk.

GUess I just hate it when we lose out on anything, be it a cup or a player.

I honestly have not seen him play 90 mins . So I have no idea about him . Have no issue if we want him . About actually buying him seems to be the real problem .

tbh I havent seen Xhaka play 90 mins but I think he's a good signing. Agreed, the problem is Real, they will have to buy him back or refuse to activate their clause before we can even think about buying him. And then we would be dealing with Juve. Not easy either way!

Not really. There's a lot of media noise, but agents and clubs could be instigating that based on their own agendas.

So Higuain would get probably 100 goals a season? He got 36 goals in a weaker team to Morata's 7. I appreciate Morata isn't first choice, but surely that just reinforces that he isn't worth spending most of our budget on
