Alvaro Morata (18 Viewers)

Saved face with the goal but I'm sure he'll be back to normal next match.

He scored a goal now he will start every match and our genius management will buy him

 

[radekas]

This is his role in a big club. Come in from the bench on tired opponents. I wish Allegri used him that way instead of starting him.

yeah, but that would require a better striker to start ahead of morata

same goes for half of our starting lineup

 

[Akshen]

That would also mean u spend 50m and big wages on a guy who plays a role of Zalayeta in the past, complete waste of money.

Zalayeta was love. Thanks for reminding me of that legend.

What a great sub...he knew his place in the team, and when called upon delivered the goods. Was it barca where he knocked them out in extra time?? It's been so long I can't remember.

Legendary game and season.

the difference here is that Zalayeta cost was lower than 3m, with Morata we are looking at 50m potential signing with 20m already spent. Not even counting wages, anyone how much does Alvaro earn?

 

[icemaη]

6m I believe. Extending his loan was a no-brainer for me. But signing him permanently, for that fee, should be avoided like the plague. He's not a high earner in this squad by any means. There are other jabronis who earn a lot more and contribute a lot less.

 

[The Quazis]

I wouldn't take him even for half the price. Rather spend it on a player that can actually develop into a great player.

me too, we wasted too much time and money on him anyway and there really is no hope.
10m loan fees x2 + 5m wages, its a cost of 20m each year, so we spend 40m on him already. Its really stupid and short sighted.
Same window Napoli bought Osimhen - 2,5m wages and 70m transfer fee (its plastic transfer fee as they traded some youngsters but still) and his yearly cost is lower than Morata - 19m.

...10m loan fees x2 + 5m wages, its a cost of 20m each year, so we spend 40m on him already...

it's actually 16.55m per year with the tax benefit. still not cheap, but was totally worth it last season. this season is an other story.

aye, still I think our managment should plan transfer for the future too, they knew Ronaldo was leaving this or next summer and could have already look for a proper replacement. Yet they choose to cripple our budget with this high cost Morata signing.
I know we as fans supported this move mostly, but we are just fans, we are not paid milions to plan things like this.

 

[s4tch]

morata crippled our budget after a 20g10a season? what about arthur, rabiot, ramsey, berna, douglas costa, rugani with a combined cost of ~60m and arguably zero contribution?

nobody could realistically expect morata to be so ineffective this season. and also nobody was on the market who's capable of 20g10a for a similar price. extending his loan was the right call during this summer. and after this season, not buying him for 35m will probably be an other right call.

I bet Allegri wishes he could do that as well

 

[LiquidPLP]

Frustrating as fuck -.-

 

[Dostoevsky]

I have no words.

 

[X Æ A-12]

Shame.

 

[.zero]

At this rate he should score in the second half unless Max calls the dogs off
