I really hope we get drawn with Chelsea in the Champions League and Morata absolutely destroy them. It'd be fun to watch.

If you follow him on social media you'll know he loves the club, and Italy in general. He even speaks Italian with his kids.
Happy to have him here, this time around we should be able to appreciate him more. First time around we hadn't had a 20+ goalscorer in so many years and it was the only thing we measured him on(and what Chelsea wanted too). Now we have Ronaldo which means that this time hopefully his skillset is more suited to what we need.
During the years Benzema played with Ronaldo and they won the CL 3 times in a row and he only scored more than 20 goals once. Yet he was so appreciated for everything else he brought to the table.

Allegri's overall point of view about Morata aswell as a funny story from the 14/15 season about him and Tevez. (not sure when exactly this interview took place though)

Translation as per comments there:
Essentially that Morata is one of the few strikers able to play with anyone in any system, another striker, wingers, CAMs etc. then he jokes that when he arrived he used to shoot always so Tevez told him to pass sometimes and then he wouldn’t shoot lol (clearly a funny joke)
also
Allegri is telling a funny story about Morata. He used to shoot all the time. At a certain point Tevez looked at him badly... then Morata went to the extreme of never ever shooting

Really funny stuff.
Yes. Especially after Chelski fans react to the news Morata coming back to Juve:

Nonetheless Tevez definitely wasn't a dude you'd want to get on bad terms with at that time either..
Valid points btw, also back then he joined in as basically just a promising kid with somewhat of a shy attitude who was about to play his first top flight season as a supposed starter so was probably/obviously only trying to prove himself and leave a impression by taking those extra shots at the time, all in all i do think we will see a more mature version of Morata this time around anyway and believe he will fit right in with Pirlo's ideas due to his versatility/mobility, guess the last part you mentioned will remain to be seen but i think both the old guard aswell as a good majority of Juve fans are still fond of him even after all this years so he will probably get those positive vibes right away, then it's only up to him to prove he is worth it ofc.

He scored or assisted every 100 minutes during his 2 years at Juve, and every 80 minutes the following year at Real Madrid...
Generally that is considered good.
I’d suggest that you hope we are getting that version of Morata like the rest of us, instead of hoping we get the Chelsea-Atletico flop version. But if you want to cheer for him to fail, by all means...

His record is terrible as a striker so i dont expect it to be a success..
Disappointing considering the club was supposedly in the mix to sign Suarez or Dzeko who are both car superior strikers ..
15 goals in 63 games the last time Morata was with us.. if thats not a dud Striker i dont know what is..
Morata is our golden boy and he deserves a chance here, we all cried when RM bought him back.
One thing vs Dzeko & Suarez which is for sure is that he will run his ass off and press opponents. Something which would be probably impossible with this old farts. Maybe also something we need the most playing with Ronaldo and Dybala.

Ahh yes. Let’s just pretend CL doesn’t exist. And that he wasn’t a late sub in numerous games. 
Better stats: 27 goals - 18 assists in 4679 minutes in all comps for Juve. So terrible, I know.

Pretty much what i think. The Ssacrifice, the runs and the presence int he box morata can bring, could be potentially better than habing suarez sitting in the enemy zone waiting for a pass from ronaldo.
Morata is obviosuly not a top tier goal scorer... but the combination of his traits, with the will of him to deliver will be key here. Lets be honest, we all know he was itching to return to juve since years ago. he will come firing on all cylinders now.
On personal levels, Morata will find here the friends of old and this will make him slot right away. With his wife pregnant and with 2 kids....she will be at home with the gramps while their children will grow in a family enviroment and not only with some random nannies, so Morata can train at peace. Its a win win situation

Moratas strike rate is poor for a striker.. But i dont need to say that as the stats speak for themselves..
I think some players cannot just be judged by numbers, and Juve´s Morata is one of them. He will most likely not get the top scorer prize in juventus, but i have a good feeling that his physical and technical qualities will be way more useful than the ones from a has-been Higuain. Dybala an specially ronaldo will benefit so much from that.
He has a goal or assist every 100 minutes for Juve. You clearly just ignoring actual facts for your “opinion”.... no one is saying he did well at Atletico and Chelsea. But you can’t just say he didn’t create goals at Juve, because the actual facts contradict you.

Unfortunately, he’s also just ignoring the fact Morata scored or assisted every 100 minutes in a Juventus jersey, and every 80 minutes the next year at Madrid. I don’t think Morata is prolific, but these guys saying he was terrible and poor here in terms of goals are just ignoring actual facts.
