Not top of my list. But would be happy if it was us. But can't see him going anywhere but Chelsea.

Out of available STRs Aub would be top of my list, but he's not keen on England apparently. Then it would be Moratta, Lukaku, Belotti.
 
I disagree, I think United played better football with Zlatan up top.

Also think Lukaku would be great for United.
 
We should have options in our forward play. Different types. For me going into next season with Morata, Rashford, Zlatan would be perfect imo.

We also need goals from elsewhere and to improve our conversion rate from this season.

Cant understand the dislike for Lukaku. All know he can score goals, same as you all told about Ibra that he gets goals despite age. He will go to United I think, why Chelsea? They need to drop Costa then, otherwise there is no point. Or unexpected is Liverpool, think he would fit best there, with that midfield and wingers he will pulley the middle and score ton of goals.(Stud time is over).

Dont think anyone is denying his record. But his overall game and his disappearing act is a genuine concern for people. Can't see Klopp having him at Liverpool.

will literally eat my hat if its not chelsea,no way hes going liverpool.From everything ive been hearing it would seem morata is a viable option and wouldnt be as expensive as lukaku
 
I think he is an excellent finisher, but worry he would make us one dimensional. The forward I want is Morata. But a long way to go in the window.

Been watching a lot of extended clips and match highlights. I'm surprised at how quick he is tbh, not Rashford level but still be one of the quickest in our league. Got a very good all round game, with plenty of growth.

You think a big, powerful Belgium striker who has pretty much everything but is even lazier than the last big, powerful Belgium striker who has pretty much everything would work this time under Klopp?

May I introduce to the tried and tested flaw in your argument:

iu
 
Lmao. Sky reporting we've had a 58m pound bud rejected for Moratta. Madrid saying they want 78m pounds :))))) yeah right!
 
Madrid can do one, Morata is a striker I feel would suit us more than Lukaku but honestly speaking he's not worth anywhere near their valuation. 15 goals in 60 odd appearances for Juve isn't exactly screaming goals either.

One of my higher targets on striker list but we can rule it out if that's true.

If we're going big we mayswell go for Dybala, he may not come anyway though so there is that. Other than that I'm struggling to think of anyone. Slightly worrying.
 
People saying the price for Belotti is too much or he's not good enough or whatever.. He's Italys best Striker right now? He's their main Striker in the National team at the age of 23? he's 3rd top scorer in Serie A with 26 goals and 7 assist.

If we get him we have Italys best striker right now, sounds great to me.

Same with Morata tbh, young Striker who's even or just behind Diego Costa in the National team?

I know the markets crazy but so is the valuation. Also saying they will except 23m + DDG for Moratta :O

Defo games going on here. Because was reported by the same sources last week, they would except 58m from Milan. I'm not one to care about fees. As long as we don't ***** 80+m on Belotti I don't mind paying extra for Moratta.

RedUnited you obviously have not watched much of Belotti. His touch is worse than Lukaku his hold up and link up play is ok at best and most of his goals come from round the six yard box. He's just a hard working poacher. Before this season he averages less than 10 goals a season. He is simply not worth it, hence all the other clubs aren't going for him.

In fairness, 48 of his 82 apps for Juve came off the bench. He had a goal every 121 minutes record... to put that into perspective, Zlatan, who had a very good season, was 1 in 134 mins for us.

All Morata needs is to be the main man somewhere and he'd flourish

Fair point, however he seems to have a preference to stay in Italy, something to do with his girlfriend. So I'm just not full of confidence that even if we did fork out the money for him, he'd ever truly settle here.
 
Whoever gets him and makes him the main man has a potential 30-40 goals per season #9.
 
I have absolutely no problem with us going massive on Morata. Brilliant player
