He's Italian mate.Not bad, Spanish Welbeck

We have a 3rd.I'm with you, never fancied Italians doing well in the PL.
Not really, Morata is a seriously unimpressive striker. He has some good work rate through which might be why Jose wants him but overall he is closer to a 25-30M player than a 50M+ one.You must really overrate Rashford then
Great, but unless he scores at a better rate than 28 in 46 (Ibra's figures) then we won't be any better off than last season without goals from elsewhere.Here you go muppets, time to get your cocks out. He's exactly what we need in front of goal.
That is just wrong. Peak at 25 would mean25 strikers, 28 midfielders, 30 defenders is my notion. But in the end it's different from player to player.
This is a key area I am looking for massive improvement this season. I would want Miki, Mata and Martial to score good amount of goals this season.Great, but unless he scores at a better rate than 28 in 46 (Ibra's figures) then we won't be any better off than last season without goals from elsewhere.
Morata plays as 1st choice. Defoe as a sub.Which I'd hope would be an indication to ypu that personnel wasn't our proven. Or is Defoe a better option than Martial, Rashford and Morata then?
I don't expect him to tear the league apart, or him becoming instant world class, but I am pretty damn excited of the prospect that we could have a team with DDG as a keeper, Bailly in defense, Pogba in midfield and hopefully Morata in attack.I am not super excited. I was never super excited about RvP. In fact, it took me a long time to feel he was one of us and not one of them.
And I was super excited about Di Maria coming to Utd and look how that turned out.
Hope he does excellently well here.
PS: All those super excited people should not forget that, if he comes, it will be first season for him in PL. So don't lose your knickers when he is unable to meet your lofty expectations
So now we're continuing to shoe horn our two biggest talents into the side out wide. If we are to bring Perisic into the side then along with Mata, Mhkitaryan and the returning Pereira someone is going to be very unhappy, all of those players are better players than an ancient Defoe.Morata plays as 1st choice. Defoe as a sub.
Rashford and Martial rotate with others for wing/wide forward spots and striker spot.
Why not? We're the richest club in the world according to KPMG - if we can't sign these players, who can?Can't believe people are not excited about this. I don't see too many better options for us I mean Jesus lads were not going to sign Messi, Suarez, Ronaldo or a player of that ilk lets be honest but he impressed me anytime I watched him play for Juve. I suppose he's not good enough for us because he's not first choice for the best team in the world this season? There's a Zlatan sized hole in our squad and who's better to fill it for us that is genuinely attainable?
Then again the goal tallies have traditionally been relatively low in Serie A. Plenty of players have topped the scoring charts with 20-22 goals.I didn't realise how poor his goal scoring was for Juventus, 15 in his first season only 12 the next, hope that was due to his age
Clubs that doesn't operate as a business and who doesn't have to balance their books.Why not? We're the richest club in the world according to KPMG - if we can't sign these players, who can?
We could have another 60 games in the league. Martial is not a striker, he's a wide forward. Rashford is, but 3 strikers is fine. We can rotate them with others like I said. We struggled last season with an arguably better line up (Ibra instead of Moratta) what makes you think we're not gonna struggle this season?So now we're continuing to shoe horn our two biggest talents into the side out wide. If we are to bring Perisic into the side then along with Mata, Mhkitaryan and the returning Pereira someone is going to be very unhappy, all of those players are better players than an ancient Defoe.
If I had billions, I could have money to buy the Buckingham Palace. But if no one is selling it to me, I will not be able to buy it.Why not? We're the richest club in the world according to KPMG - if we can't sign these players, who can?
Try to look at it through the eye's of said players would you leave a current top 5 club to join the current united who since Fergie left I doubt are even top ten. We're bound to get back to the top eventually but I just don't see us having that draw right now. Money cant buy you anything and fair does were the richest club in the world but the other top clubs aren't exactly skint.Why not? We're the richest club in the world according to KPMG - if we can't sign these players, who can?
Doesn't always work like that. Morata can potentially get team mates involved more, rush the opposition defense more, help us play a faster pace and be more clinical when it matters. All possible.Great, but unless he scores at a better rate than 28 in 46 (Ibra's figures) then we won't be any better off than last season without goals from elsewhere.
You should be happy that he is joining your second favourite club.This will break my heart, i just know it
Why was this the case? To beat City to him and the fact that we got him from Arsenal after his best season - That was enough to get me super excited. And he was amazing for about 6/7 months.I am not super excited. I was never super excited about RvP. In fact, it took me a long time to feel he was one of us and not one of them.

Benzema is preferred because he allows Ronaldo to flourish, it really is that simple. Morata has been better for Madrid than Benzema has, recently. Morata's whole game isn't based around getting the best out of Cristiano, Benzema's is.Based on one run against Bayern some think he is the second coming of Ronaldo9, if it was something he could do consistently, Benzema wouldnt play a game.
Could easily use him there because Valencia's stamina and work rate provides us good width on the right.I was just writing something similar When I saw this. He's a great player but he just doesn't look like a natural finisher. Except for his heading. Can't say I'm an expert but he feels like he should be either side of the central striker.
I think 90% of teams park the bus when playing Madrid. Juve and Spain. He won't have a problem playing here.Any YouTube highlights of him against parked bus defences?
I was never that excited over him either. In fact, I remember actively not wanting him.Why was this the case? To beat City to him and the fact that we got him from Arsenal after his best season - That was enough to get me super excited. And he was amazing for about 6/7 months.
You're already lagging behind mate.We have a 3rd.
This is turning into a meme, soon we won't be able to tell apart those who genuinely think he's Italian.
Agree. United has done that in the past and it didn't work as well as we thought it would be, considering the rep and huge fees. This has Veron written again all over it.I'm with you, never fancied Italians doing well in the PL.
Think about the feeThis will break my heart, i just know it
Exactly. I don't know why people aren't unexcited about this.I'm with you, never fancied Italians doing well in the PL.
Not really poor either is it? Nothing special though true. Still scored in big games.I didn't realise how poor his goal scoring was for Juventus, 15 in his first season only 12 the next, hope that was due to his age
I am not exactly sure. I generally did not like Arsenal players by default. And then I felt RvP having a good season was an aberration and he would get injured soon and be back on the hospital bed.Why was this the case?
