Alvaro Morata (168 Viewers)

[Cheesio]

One final question.... Marotta clearly stated Juventus want to keep him, if Madrid decide to sell him on, surely Morata would reject any other offers and wait for Juventus and Madrid to agree to a fee?

What if Arsenal /Chelsea are offering 15/20 mil more than us, they could tell him he either accepts or rott in the bench in RM.
Secondly, Why would he reject more money in Chelsea, Arsenal and a starting role ? just to be a bench player at Juventus.

True

But we didn't NEED him to be good in Italy. This whole club fucking sucked for the first three months of Serie A, and ended up running away with the title. We needed him in CL, where he has been clutch

 

[Quetzalcoatl]

True

It's not true. Look up his stats yourself. He has had some bad periods but he has also had some great ones, and has an excellent record in our biggest games

Juventus didn't want, that's simple

They did which is well documented if you've been reading Beppe's interviews

 

[fredrik]

He will be missed. He scored some CL goals that will be remembered for decades. If Marotta's comments about Pogba are to be believed it seems like Real just said no Pogba for us no Morata for you.

Decades..???
More like already forgotten. Had we won the cl than maybe...

Too late for that. Real Madrid activated their buy out clause. You can't re-purchase a player that you sold within 12 months. From what I have read, that is the rule.

Oh really? Well that ruins that idea.

From what I've read we were willing to offer 20-25 million to cancel the buyback, with that activated and the money we were originally going to offer, that would put it at 50-55 million that we could've spent on him.

So......................you already forgot the two goals against Real that helped propel us to the Finals?


But I would be willing to bet that you haven't forgotten the two goals that Alex scored in '08 against them, when Juve ended up going nowhere?

I know what i saw! He sucked in serie a. Tumbling around, looking for fk, missing huge chances. Scoring and assisting comes with playing for the best club in italy anyway

Okay buddy

I swear, I am back in the summer of 2006. It's Deja Vu. It HAS to be. This is Ibra 2.0

But, I guess this is normal.

He's gone, so he couldn't have been that good to begin with

yeah

It's two things. A coping mechanism, and an opportunity for the "haters" (every player has them) to emerge

Dont do this to yourself, dont forget there was farsopoli that very year. I will never forget 2006....

Ibra 2.0 in terms of what ?

Suddenly Morata's goals were irrelevant since someone else would have scored them, nevermind that he equaled club's record in the process and apparently the club never wanted to keep him. Some folks

 

[KB824]

Ibra 2.0 in terms of what ?

In terms of a young player with great potential having what was considered to be a sophomore slump, and the moment he is gone, everyone just went out of their way to shit on him.

Or to say that he was never good enough to begin with.


But, just like Ibra 10 years ago, I think that we have only seen the beginnings of what Alvaro is going to become, and like Ibra, he will achieve those heights after he is gone

Because afterall, Juve, a club that has been focusing on young players, would NEVER want to keep a 23 year old that has already been in their ranks for 2 years. Especially considering his contributions during that time.

Nope. Wouldn't want to do that, now would we

You really think he'll be that good ? I somewhat disagree. He'll have a great career no doubt but i doubt he'll reach Zlatan levels of consistency. That would be Dybala imo.

I'm comparing the situations, not the players themselves.


Earlier today, I had stated that Morata was not as good as Ibra, nor would he be. But I do believe that we have not seen the best of Alvaro yet. Not by a long shot. And what bothers me the most is that he will blossom into what most people think he will become, at another club.

And I don't think that you can discount the general good attitude and rapport that he had with the club and especially the fans. The stories are out there about his kindness with the fans. He's not just a really good player, but he seems to be a really good kid, too.

 

[Pirlo's Beard]

Well if there's any positive to take from this, our little experiment in buy back deals AGAINST Juventus will probably be over.

 

[Nicholas]

@Sergio,

Do you not think equally he's played this wrong, if he moves to another club except Madrid, his BS about Juve being his home etc turns out to be all lies.

 

[da_ledgeaun]

This sucks! this sucks bad! I dont see any proven talent like him being available for the 30M we got from Real. The only thing i hope now is that Real decide to sell him and Morata rejects, and then Beppe comes in with a loan deal since we cant buy him outright, but we can loan him, so loan for 10 mil with a fixed purchase fee of 20 next season!

Do it Beppe!!!

I would only be somewhat satisfied if we replace Morata with someone like Gabriel Black Jesus..
