Ladies and Gentlemen, I would have the pleasure this evening to be your flight controller, we will monitor the sky , Madrid to Turin, outside temperature 24 ° clear sky, arrival of Alvaro Morata scheduled for the evening.
edit...
I am notified of a private jet Cessna 525A stationary at Madrid airport, take-off imminent, direction unknown
Yap but he is said to be very close to Man Utd and the only place that mentioned it was a site writing about Calciomercato while I visited Calciomercato and didnt really find anything. Even if it is there somewhere - I am having a tough time to believe it when only Calciomercato reports it and when we had these links with Gosens.
This whole thing is strange dzeko sat on the bench Saturday when they needed a goal it seemed like it was a done deal yet 2 days later we have apparently got a deal for morata sorted. I know the whole roma milik situation got complicated but still its a quick turnaround something smells off
If we are going to play 4-3-3 as some reports are saying, I don’t get why we are going for Morata. He is not a good fit as a CF in 4-3-3. If we play 2 strikers like yesterday, he would be a good rotation option though - not starter material.
But if we are willing to spend 10m on a loan, surely there must be better out there?
If we are looking for a rotating option for Dybala, Ronaldo and Kulusevski, why not take a chance on a somewhat unknown talent - our scouts most have some on their radar.
If we are looking for a starter in a 4-3-3, then I definitely still prefer Dzeko to Morata, but 10m now and potentially 45m next year might even get us Zapata from Atalanta.
So many questions
That's not how it works though.
If we outright bought dzeko we would pay 23 million / year.
Getting morata on loan at 10 million with his reported 5.2 salary means that his cost would be 19,5 million/year.
Still less than dzeko who we would be stuck with for at least another year without no resale value.

That’s not what I am saying. But if we can pay 19 or 23 per year, we should be able to do better than both Dzeko or Morata, regardless if we are looking for rotation option or starter material. I know time is not on our side, but that is simply due to poor planning.

Ask our scouting department and management - That’s their job, they get paid, not me. I’m simply highlighting that there seems to be no plan, but rather short term thinking and panic decisions regarding the CF position. Unless we have lined up Haaland or Mbappé in one or two years, we should be able to get a much better striker for 19m year - spread across 3-5 years eg. and if we are only looking for a rotation option in attack, 19m is a lot of sunk costs
