Transfer Tweets - Summer 2017 | Keep it on topic

Personally, I don't like it when players who evidently want to join get caught up in the crossfire. Similar happened with Herrera and the Three Amigos.

The thought of Madrid with egg on their faces is a temporary amusement, but I'd rather we finally got the guy.

It's not like he would choose us if he had a choice though. He came out and said he wants to stay at Madrid, he's pretty much being forced out the door through lack of game time.
 
Wasnt he shown on holiday just a few days ago?

He did not end his holidays - it was just a day off from Ibiza to Madrid before flying back. Less than a day. Still think the deal will happen despite the Lukaku news.
 
Can't wait until Marca reports on how Perez has decided to conclude discussions on Morata's trasfer due to what he represents tothe club.
Maybe how Zidane has convinced Morata to stay.
Or Morata's love for Real meant he decided to stay.
My outside bet is Madrid have now decided its best that Mbappe stays at Monaco for one more season.
Its time for Spanish media bingo

That is outrageous.

But you can easily see the Madriganda media coming up with something like that.

If we sign Lukaku it looks like Morata would go to Chelsea. Costa looks set to be off and given how he downed tools under Mourinho you'd have to expect them not to want him there unhappy.

Only really Aubameyang, Belotti or Morata on the market when looking for a new striker.
 
They tried flogging Morata to Chelsea last season and the board decided against it.
Chelsea simply do not spend silly money anymore.

Well no, I doubt he would. Why would he? Nothing wrong with what he said though, any player would say the same in his situation.

Walking away because the club is unreasonable is one thing, but suddenly another option being finalised when all along you are led to believe otherwise... Isn't there a longer term effect in players not wanting to overcommit or push for moves to us?

SAF always got that balance right. I can't remember a single saga where he would leave the player hung out to dry. Very much the opposite.

As said, I hope it all adds up to saving 5M and Real not taking the piss any more.

He's in the exact same situation as us never being involved though. It's not like the club don't want to sell, the players kicked up a fuss and then we've dropped it. That scenario I agree would be bad.
 

This just feels embarrassing for him. Who loves for free? We're that desperate to get rid of him (rightly, imo) that we'd let him go for free. No body is willing to pay a fee. What a fall from mediocrity.

Do we know that for sure? What do you think the narrative will sound like?

The good thing here is Real/Marca would never go for staying @ Real = hung out to dry.
 
No doubt Lukaku is done. Wonder if we really have ended interest in Morata? Tbh just seems like an obvious assumption now that Lukaku news is everywhere. Personally wouldn't be surprised if we were still interested in him but now have leverage to not go above our current offer. He's not must-sign anymore but he could easily still be a luxury buy. I think he could play in any of the front 4 positions and would really suit #10 role imo. The more goals the better
