Alvaro Morata (49 Viewers)

If you actually read up, I never said I was unhappy for him. But this overhyping of morata is getting a bit silly.

And again where did I state he didn't play well except for the roma game where he was pretty bad. Where did I state i want him to fail?

Please learn to read before making dumbfounded conclusions

Thanks

Considering a lot of people here are really disappointed about this deal because they were cheering for Dzeko, Suarez, Cavani, Giroud or any other old- high salary attacker... excluding the first game when Alvaro had just landed, he's been our best player so far so it's nothing but normal that somes Morata supporters (as myself) can be quite happy for it

Future? who knows but present is really good... you can enjoy it too

And actually just for the record. I had even name dropped morata as someone we should have looked at whilst we had sarri and higuain was being a bum. Before learning that sarri and morata didn't exactly get along at Chelsea.

Nice calculations. Haha

Morata seems like a different player when in a juve jersey. He offers us variety...the fact we have CR out and dybala is getting back into shape he has delivered so far. Will be interesting to see who makes way when dybala and CR are fully fit.

morata can be the benzema type player that ronaldo needs. just needs to be more closer to the box.

he has the ability to score like the best strikers out there but needs to be more of a poacher. The young morata was more of a runner.

Love when fans tell other fans to curb their enthusiasm, as if this whole sports thing wasnt just meant to be fun.

So zalayeta scoring against barca and Madrid was not clutch? OK sorry he didn't get a chance to score against crotone and Kiev.

The fact that people compliment him bothers you is quite evident

Did my post mention anything about you wanting him to fail? I suggest you take your own advice and read my post

Keep doing what you do tough guy

What a great argument
@Post Ironic just told you how statistically Morata is much superior to Zalayeta.
Statistics aside, Morata brings a lot to our game- pace on the counter, space for Ronaldo and an outlet for crosses.
And you if want to talk about clutch goals, Morata has also scored quite a few in the CL- against Real, Barca, Man City, Dortmund, Liverpool (with Atleti), Sevila etc.

Exactly.

And to be honest, as much as we liked Zala´s contributions... he was just a very poor mans Trezeguet, but we remember him with nostalgia because he knew his place and behaved like a total proffesional who rarely played but was always there if needed.

Morata is a modern striker who adds a lot to our game.. not only poaching ocassionally from the bench.

Man this guy is such a refreshment compared to that old fart Higuain.

Dai dai Alvaroooo.

 

[Strickland]

Why is he making that Tenet gesture after goals lol?

It seems ut has to do with his children and wife

yup. "objective fan" is a non existing concept by definition.

I love when the avatar is mentioned in the post just like when the title is mentioned in the movie.

How does it bother me? I've already stated quite clearly I want our players to do well irrelevant of whether I wanted them in the first place. Actually take my advice. Read what I said before you draw dumbfounded conclusions. Thanks.

Its as if you havent read a single thing I've said.

Firstly let's get this clear

Aside from the roma game I've not criticised him

I'm happy for him and the team that he's scored

I suggested morata when we were struggling with higuain under sarri's tenure. I'll even find that post if you're too lazy to do that even!

Yes he wasnt my first choice as I would have preferred either one of dzeko and suarez for different reasons, that doesn't mean I dislike him, and I'm quite entitled to that opinion given suarez and dzeko has been posting up impressive numbers for years.

Am I getting ahead of myself because hes scored against Kiev and crotone? No I've seen morata have consistency issues throughout his career to suggest that he's not the long term answer. Again another valid point backed up with his career stats.


Thank you

Bello mio. What a machine

Neither Suarez or Dzeko qualify for that description in 2020.

Suarez is most definitely still world class. Fat and not as his absolutely elite level from 2013-16, but most def still a WC striker.

Both Suarez and Dzeko are still great strikers, but their age is a heavy factor. We would undoubtely have problems with their salary and contracts in a year

Yeah man, I certainly see the board's logic in passing on them and support their decision in signing Morata. With that said I still rate Suarez very highly and believe he'll lead Atletico to some great things this season. Though we'll have to wait and see.
