Is that more to do with the emotional attachment of losing an academy player though? When Welbeck left it us there was a fair few including myself who did feel a sad.
Think of the price as roughly £12.8m a year for 5 years. Doesn't sound too bad that way. It's less than we're paying on Rooney's wages.
If were not getting a replacement for Morata in a Chicharito type of striker to fill in then that's proabably what the club will do. If it was up to me I'll buy someone like Carlos Vela to fill our bench roster and rotate him in the forward positions. So back on topic if we're not buying anyone new this wouldn't be so much of a problem if we dropped the BBC playing every single match they're available or convincing Morata at last minute to stay with the promise of a more prominent role which would be great for us but if I was him I would go to Manchester despite not being in a strong position currently. They offer him a lot more opportunities and is a complete different challenge that can only improve him as a player; he's tall, strong, a good header and yet a technical accomplished player, not to the degree of someone like Benzema but a lot better of what you expect from someone his height.
Becomes the most expensive spanish player in history.Tweet

Watching that video has only made me realise how useless we are at crossing, watching great crosses come in from every part of of the pitch from different players what a,what a sight. Right now what pwe have are wingers who can't cross, fullbacks who can't cross only Herrera and Pogs can be relied on to give good crosses. If our service does not improve drastically next season Morata will be one frustrated player
That's a lot of money but he is one of the strikers young and talented enough to justify the gamble.
Know if this is reliable or not?

Threadban this guy. He talks senseDnt understand all the negativity around Morata. Yes, he is not what u call top-bracket yet but if you have seen him play then you will know that he is easily in top 5-7 strikers in Europe. Being a second choice is not because he is not capable to lead the line, its because Madrid is CR7 place and he likes playing with Benzema.
If you have seen Madrid play this season, then you would notice that CR7 is almost playing as a striker. Benzema makes the run to vacate the striker position and takes a defender with him and that makes space available to CR7 to run into. Morata doesn't do that. He takes up that space. Also, Benz is better when it comes it creating chances for CR7, specially from left hand side of attack. And thats why my friends, Benz starts ahead of Morata. But, I am pretty sure if this was CR7 of 4-5 years ago, when he was playing as winger, creating as many chances as scoring, then Morata would have been the first choice.
When Zizou played second choice team to rest the stars, Morata has been brilliant. He even came from bench to save Madrid on more than few occasions. Real are the team to win most points from loosing positions(comebacks) in la-liga this season and Morata has a big hand to play in that. Even yesterday in friendly against Colombia, Morata scored a fantastic header to equalize.
If Real are asking 60m for him, I wldnt say its a bad deal considering VVD was quoted at 70m. Yes, many players have come with reputation and big money and failed in EPL, but then you take that chance with each transfer.
So my fellow reds, transfer window has not even opened yet. Have some faith in Jose and enjoy other sports till the start of season. French Open has been good, F1 is competitive again after 5-6 years. So chillllllll and enjoy the summer
Aye 4 m too much. I hope its worth it.
7 should be still vacant for giezmann next summer or january who knows.
My guess would be #9 since Ibra has been released. Though #7 is a pretty good shout.
No-one was really talking about Welbeck's ability though. The Madrid fans on here are upset not only because of his Madrid ties but also because of his ability/potential.
What happened to the #9 shirt?
feck him, he had his chance
Wears 7 for Spain so we will see.
Oh come on, He valued loyalty this year. It does not mean its over.Just that he wears 7 for Spain thats why. Just pure guesswork really.
Mods, check hos IP, I bet this is Florentino himself.
I dont think so, We prefered no 9 this year than a no 10 and kept relation ship with atletico better.
He valued being a pussy. "You can't lose what you don't put in middle, but you can't win much either."
We could'nt have done both anyway so i am still hopeful next time .
Ok fair enough. I would just prefer someone with a little more quality or his best years ahead of him.
Hey!. I'm still a bit teary eyed about that. Its too soon to be making gagsHe must have learnt that from Rickon Stark
That could be a huge reason for this to go through. I hope he has the same mentality
I agree, but the reason I'm suggesting Defoe is that I think he will undoubtedly be willing to sit on the bench whereas others might not.
