It's a shame he'll be obliged to play SS. A real waste.

He's better than Mandzukic as a CF, and Dybala is better than him as an SS.
with Llorente gone, all 4 of our strikers can play with each other and it can work. when Morata plays with Mandzukic, you cant really say hes an SS just because hes more technical than Mandzu. both of them move a lot, Mandzukic will drop back to collect the ball quite often and make a sideways pass, like Morata he will drift wide sometimes... Moratas game wont be much different from last season. he will still have his runs with the ball, he will still drift wide to help the wingbacks and spend time in the box entering goal scoring chances. he and Mandzukic just have to find the chemistry and timing their runs and the partnership will work great. same would be if we fielded Dybala with Berardi for example. no one would ask either of them to act as a classic 9, but both would play to their strengths and in a way they can coexist. but in the end, its Allegris job to make it work so you shouldnt much worry about it. Morata is a versatile forward, he even worked with an out of form Llorente last season, no reason to think he wouldnt with Mandzukic, Dybala, Coman or Zaza

Is there buy clause on the morata loan?
Real can buy him next summer (2016) or the summer after that (2017) for 30M.
