Losing both Morata and Pogba to that Real scum is something we shouldn't allow. They're fucking us sideways...

There are arguements to be made over which one is worse but I'd say Morata is the one that's harder to replace. In attack it'd be much harder if you ask me. Especially comparing the financial return of 30mil against 120mil...

Don't think Fiorentina is ever letting go of Bernardeschi if we're involved, Berardi snubbed us and Batshuayi 'though talented ain't no Morata.

Man we agree Pogba is more rounded but you are comparing his current level to players that have bossed the football world for years. Iniesta played as a CM and as always as a very important player for Spain and Barca for almost a decade now. Pogba has potential but I have no idea why you think he is already a better CM. He is more well rounded in his skill set but he is far from being as influential as iniesta or Pirlo were.
:agree:

I love Pogba and all but it's insane how people here are overrating him, it's worse than reading posts on Arsenalmania etc.

that's usually an issue when a classy player leaves us :D morata has quite a unique skillset: young, almost too handsome, good on the ball, insanely fast, jumps as a basketball player, has actual working braincells unlike some sprinters dressed as footballers, and he's pretty strong mentally on big occasions. an almost complete package, he'll be hard to replace.

Hope we will soon resolve all of the situations around our best players. We need to know where we stand with everyone so we can go for new players if needed.

I know you believe Pogba is the best in the world which he's not. We continued to a CL final without him. But we lost the game against Bayern when Morata went out.
No i dont. Just read my posts in Pogba's thread and you'll know i dont overrate him like others. But saying losing Morata(bench player) is a bigger loss than Pogba is ridiculous to say the least. You're pretending as if no one else would be able to score the goals Morata did for us.

As for now our team is weakened. Pjanić is a great solution for our AM spot and Alves is a nice addition but on position that was not a problem.

We lost Morata, Cuads (?) and Marchisio (probably temporary, but look at Kwadwo). Cuads replacement will probably be Alves, but to strenghten our team in relation to last season's squad we need another great CM and striker now.

So were getting 30m from Morata and we saved 25m for Berardi. 55m can get us a hell of a striker if we want to. Any suggestions ?
We are totally splashing 55m on a single player mate. :D

Can we fill in the midfield gap with 120 mil? Can we fill the gap Morata left with 30 mil?

Yes and no if you ask me. 120 mil buys you almost anyone you want. 30 mil won't even buy you half of Lukaku who is immensely inferior to Morata. Batshuayi is good but he isn't as good as Morata, he's a bench player after Lukaku if you're going that way.

While with 120 mil we can buy 3 and almost 4 x Pjanic.

Also our so-called bench player matched Del Piero's CL record and came in to hand us the Coppa with his second touch.

Considering the inflation in the market i disagree with you.

You are comparing to a player who is one of the best in the team and plays regularly to one who scored important goals but doesnt even start. Its a pretty easy comparison or rather no comparison at all. Just because Pogba doesnt score clutch goals like Morata ,doesnt mean he's any less in influencing games compared to him. Morata will be a loss but Pogba will be an even bigger loss all aspects considered.

Besides Pogba is unanimously rated as one of the best CM's in the world while Morata in his position isnt. His goal output is too low to be rated amongst the best.

Seeing as we already bought Pjanic, there's no use in a debate over an inflated market; it's already been done, while the rest of our midfield barely cost us any money over the course of a few years. In attack only Tevez was a really cheap buy and we lost him for free...

As the CL showed us we suffered without Morata. I'm not denying the importance of Pogba, I'm highlighting the importance of Morata who shouldn't be benched at all.

No, Morata isn't rated as onz of the best? I guess that's why the richest teams in the world are ready to splash cash for him and the 2-times CL winner in 3 years time are buying him back.

Dude, dont forget the 25M we were supposed to give to Real Madrid for Morata. We got 80M to spend :tuttosport:

We will get that Batshuayi guy.
This. Something like 30-35M + bonuses should do it
