Benzema is a 9 that creates like a 10 and loves to spend time drifting to the flanks. No amount of all round game in Morata's style could make him a superior partner to a CR7. A Benzema would even make a better CR7 than a peak Zlatan due to always driffting wide to let Bale and CR7 attack the center. Despite being a far worse striker.
He has five assists all season, not much of a ten I would say (morata has 4 in in 20 less starts).
He has had an awful season by his standards.
I'm talking as compared to standard CFs rather than true 10s tbh. I probably should have used 'second striker' instead.
In fairness, he was used as a bargaining chip for Pogba. Iirc it was something along the lines of cash + not taking up the 25M option on Morata (this being valued much higher in the deal).
This is spot on
And the problem is Real could easily spend all Summer at it and suspend it to next Summer after their fax machine breaks. We can't afford to feck about all Summer with our need for a striker.
How on earth was the clip at 1:33 not given as offside?!?!
Played for Juve and Madrid, wanted by United, comes with an enormous price tag but doesn't have any outstanding qualities. Makes perfect sense pal.
Fully agreed.I'm talking as compared to standard CFs rather than true 10s tbh. I probably should have used 'second striker' instead.
By the way we are top of the food chain in terms of money.
No he didn't, he frequently scores against the better teams in the league. These silly Morata myths people are cooking up are weird
We'd need to bring in a goalscoring wideman alongside him but Morata would be a very good start.
Anyone you can think of? (Not sanchez).
Douglas costa would be a good addition. I think we need more than just morata to kill our goal scoring problem, if he is all we have then we will not score too many.
Sanchez was the one I was thinking of writing that post
It's difficult to know exactly when Mourinho will likely want at least one grafter but even if we signed more of a tricky winger for the right and put Martial back on the left I'd be happy with that.Yeah ok, I'm on board.
A rare good read from sky. His goals per minute played was only bettered by Messi last season.
!!This is one of the reasons i don't trust stats, those stats are misleading, everyone on that list except morata is their team's go to guy. Everyone other than morata has played big games for their respective clubs, morata did not play against either atletico or barcelona and he failed to score against sevilla the only top 4 team he actually played against.
But what about miki and mata? I'd have either of them in the team over martial.Sanchez was the one I was thinking of writing that post
Benzema averages around 7-8 assists per season so no, last year wasnt an awful season stats wise. The disparity between the chance creation and assists probably points to the quality of assists created by benzema.
All Spanish players want to leave? Because there are many in PL who have settled well.
This is the worst argument for not wanting to sign a player. If Sanchez leaves this summer, will Arsenal regret ever signing him? Of course not. Same goes for Costa in Chelsea.
