Morata has pretty much failed at 3 different clubs in a row now.

After leaving Madrid he blamed preferential treatment for not being able to secure a spot. After leaving Juve he blamed the club backing Mandzukic over him because we owned Mandzu and he was only on loan. At Chelsea he blamed basically everything and always implied he was unjustly treated by fans and media.

Weakest mentality of any footballer in recent memory. Hard pass.
What? Juve had no powers to keep him as madrid had the buyback option which they exercised then sold him for a massive profit to Chelsea anyways

He has failed as a starter everywhere, but this is BS, except for Chelsea, who he vocally lamented about being scapegoated (and he has a point) after a great start to the season. But for Juve and Real madrid he has not blamed anyone, in fact has been appreciative of his times there.

Looks like another wasted week, a tici tradition.

Khedira and Higuain still on the roster.

Still hasnt added a 9.

Still hasn’t added a wingback.

Hasnt sold really anyone.

Added one midfielder, who may or may not be starting caliber. (Arthur just replaces Pjanic)

Good thing he’s got...4 weeks...to solve all these issues. Brilliant.

How is it BS just because you havent seen it? He gave a long video interview a couple of years ago to Maldini (the Spanish journalist) about this regarding Juve/Mandzukic. They used to play it often between matches as recycled content in Spanish channels, not exactly a secret

When Morata was still with us, I remember his biggest problem was his emotional fragility and consistency. During the times when his head was actually screwed on straight he always delivered in the big moments; especially in crunch CL games against the likes of Dortmund, Real, Barça and Bayern. I like the kid, still do to this day because he really loved being here, but he isn’t what we need.

It still doesn't explain the fact madrid had a buyback clause on morata which they exercised. Juve and morata had absolutely no powers to contest, especially when Chelsea paid what they did for him in the end there was no way we would drop that sort of money on him
