We should never sign anyone then, because there's always a chance they suddenly become shit.
That reads as a known fact rather than speculation or opinion.
Not really savvy as the ones who are being paid to have signed or recommended utter dross over the past few years and almost all of them have been moved on.
).Nice. And our marketing team will be rubbing their hands with those Italian good looks.
Number 9. 7 is for a winger or playmaker type, not a strikerWill he get the number 9, though? Or the 7? That'll be interesting; if we're saving the 7 for Griezmann sometime later (yeah, I can't let go ..
That's not right though. His goals per minute has been more or less the same most seasons for both RM and Juve. Just that he played more minutes this season and thus, scored more goals. So it's not too much of a leap to think he would score a good amount when he plays a lot of minutes.
Do you just deal in extremes or is this an off day? There is a difference between signing someone who is 28+ and has consistently scored 30+ goals per season and morata who has had just one good season under his belt. What was his minutes to goals ratio last year btw?
Players can develop and improve but they has to show it. He may have potential but he's not proven goalscorer. And we need goalscrorer, better if proven.
Going by the last two seasons and whoscored.
Im sure he played wide for Juve quite a bit. I remember seeing his stats as a 9 for Juve and they were quite good
Mourinho likes strikers to have a number 9 shirt, show when he gave Ibra the 9 shirt last year taking it off Martial.Will he get the number 9, though? Or the 7? That'll be interesting; if we're saving the 7 for Griezmann sometime later (yeah, I can't let go ..
As a centre forward, he played 1280 minutes for juve and only scored 3 goals last year.
Surely you don't seriously think we 'scouted' Schweinsteiger? Or Fellaini for that matter, as he was clearly a Moyes signing. Also when you're talking about the past, you're talking and Moyes and LVG. Last season has shown a vast improvement in our transfer policy with all 4 of our signings being definitive successes.
Hmm I stand corrected
Mourinho has nothing to do with the shirt numbers.
Not sure about anomaly. He's at an age when he should be improving. Plus, it's easier to score goals in La Liga than Serie A with poor teams like Grenada and Leganes
If you read the messages chain, that was in response to ivaldo's claim that mourinho knows the player so he must be good.
You think?
So we should expect him to score considerably less if we sign him? He should be improving but for someone to go from scoring once in 3/4 matches to scoring more than a goal per game in one season does scream anomaly or extenuating factors.
Who did? Ibra didn't request it because he was surprised when he was told his number in an interview. Marketing department?
You've just posted his per minute stats yourself so obvious you already know that.
He's a goalscorer.
It is pocket change for us.That fee though!
I give up with transfers, I have no idea what's cheap, reasonable or expensive anymore. My scale is off.
He wears 7 for Spain - he should be 9 though
Good. Anything more that €70m means we would have got fleeced. And the people who are arguing if he is good enough or not, we can only judge him after a season or two. If he fails to play well the fans will get on his case. I would have still preferred Aubameyang for the same amount or Kane but I'm not Jose or Woodward.
Will do.
Yeah, it's quickly got to the stage where every fee makes my brain go 'hang on, what was the world record transfer again?'That fee though!

Well it's about £1.5m more than you were about to pay for VVD.That fee though!

Not really, I would be happy to either sign someone better for a higher fee or someone better for an equivalent fee. I never mention signing someone better for a less.
Kane would've been great but Spurs have a real shot at the title with a couple more additions. They would never sell him at any amount. Aubameyang isn't a Mourinho type of striker.

Yeah but it means you can't back your argument.
Almost certainly 9 imoWill he get the number 9, though? Or the 7? That'll be interesting; if we're saving the 7 for Griezmann sometime later (yeah, I can't let go ..
