Alvaro Morata (51 Viewers)

The only supposed silver lining here is that with Morata gone, he can no longer be part of a potential deal for Pogba, and he would've been one of the main sweeteners in any realistic deal for Pogba with Madrid. May just be that we won't sell Pogba as a result this summer, but I'm still at 50-50. Losing Morata, Cuadrado and Pogba in one summer and then talking about CL aspirations is just so underwhelming and disappointing, irrespective of the replacements. Any new players would need time to settle, and it only means starting over from where we did last summer. Really not the way I was hoping things would move. We can't catch a break with this stuff.
I'm lost.
Fee upfront for Dybala was 2 million more than what we've now got for Morata, those 8 million in bonuses are if Juventus win and the player does well so immaterial at this point.
We've got 30 million for Morata now, so my point is what's saying we can't find someone better for more or less the same price? We proved we could 12 months before.
Listen if we don't replace Morata well enough then yes we're in trouble, my point is he's not a Dybala type figure who we would find it impossible to replace.

Let's look at a couple of things here
#1) We bought Morata for 20 million
#2) When we bought Dybala, he was on the last year of his contract,and 32 + 8, despite his talent, was still considered high, taking everything into consideration
#3) IF you want to use the assumption that we would have paid 30 million to keep him, then we would have spent a total of 50 million on him, because if that is indeed true, then that is what we valued him at. And if that is the case, then we will ahve to spend at least 50 million to find a player of his age, skillset, and cache at the age of 23.
