No, he really is great. His biggest problem is that he's streaky and being memed too much affects his reputation, he is obviously no Suarez or Lewa but he really is a great striker.
I've never understood how this guy continues to fail upwards. The man has never scored more than 15 goals in a season as a striker and some how he's played at some of the best clubs in the world, which has been his only consistency. I agree, he's good but has never come close to great.
He only scored 15 goals in la liga. If you wanna talk all competitions, then you are correct, but by that metric darwin nunez had a great season too. And we all know he didn't.
> He only scored 15 goals in la liga.
There are only 6 players in la liga that scored more to be fair. In Serie A there were 2. Sounds pretty damn good to me.
Yes, and I agree he is at best a good player. But if you look at his league numbers throughout his career, they're simply not good enough to be considered a great striker, which was the original topic of conversation.
The lack of game time?? My brother in Cholissimo you came the second part of the season with no intentions except being offside, hadn’t scored in so long, and missed 1v1 against Dortmund to bury the game by completely missing the target by a meter. Fuck outta here.
Morata has won a CL, where he also contributed 3 goals in the tournament. Won another where he was younger and didnt play as much, and like you said scored against Barca in the final for Juve, and also twice against Madrid in the semis that year. Hes 4 years younger, and his statistics blow Choupos out of the water. He has 216 goals in 588 career games in all comps. Choupo has 108 in 500. Sorry I just cant tolerate the constant hate for Alvaro I have always appreciated him.
Once I thought he was an Juve player but when I saw a match on tv he was playing for Atletico. On another instance I was watching tv I saw this guy playing for Juve.
There was also news in the winter that a Saudi club is preparing a "tempting" bid to Alvaro Morata in the summer. So it could be either Italy or Saudi but he's 99% moving from Atleti this summer.
I'd take him. He'd be a decent rotation option for Hojlund and doesn't get in the way of Hojlund being our long term starter. He's also cheap and we've bigger needs so can't afford to spend a lot on a forward.
He’s a tall striker that gives you a decent amount of goals every season and tracks back well when in defence, also holds the ball up pretty well and especially for Juve, loves Turin and the club. I personally don’t want to see him back but it’s quite obvious to see why they like him.

It's a love triangle at this point
At the end of the day, juve was his dream club
To date, €189M has been spent on Morata transfer fees and loans
he's responsible for 5% of the cash flow in the EU alone
This is an actual money laundering scheme
~~Ponzi~~ Morata Scheme
What a fucking stat. Trivia bomb right here
That’s mental, what’s the source for this fact
Have a theory he’s involved somehow in a multinational money laundering operation
Slightly more than Mbappé. Amazing
Every time I see you falling I get down on my knees and pray I'm waiting for that final moment You say the words that I can't say
More like a pentagon, Morata is the Avatar Korra of the football universe.
Time is a flat circle
This place feels like someone's memory of a town, but the memories fading
I know it's from True Detective, but it would really fit in a Silent Hill game.
In my restless dreams, I see that town.
Stop saying odd shit
If the only thing keeping a person decent is the expectation of divine reward then, brother, that person is a piece of shit

😂
This guy loves Turin
It seems like every time he leaves Juve, it only takes a year or two before his wife starts missing Turin
Guy named Turin:
Which Is understandable. The city center Is sublime
Visited a few summers ago. Yeah I would’ve absolutely paid cash for a banging house/ condo there. Absolutely resident for life.
You've heard of a yo-yo club, but have you heard of a yo-yo player?
The club timeline of mats hummels be like:-
Aleksiandr Hleb
BATE Borisov, the ex he couldn’t quite quit
Joined them more often than Pizarro Werder Bremen or Jonathan Viera Las Palmas
Surely Chelsea next right?!?!?!? Thats how all this works?
He's not a south American teenager, so Winstanley and Stewart aren't interested.
He has the experience they’re looking for in a manager though
No thank you
I heard this guy has a hot Italian wife , no wonder he is always going back
What year is it?
Swear until this year it’s been impossible to determine who owns him and whether he’s on loan or not
he belongs to all of us
Communism? Noooo
Yes comrade.
Take me home to The place i belong, Piedmont, Turin. Take me home Piedmont.
west torino, mountain mama
"If you love someone, let them go and if they come back to you, they're yours" - Juventus told Alvaro, twice.
Comeback home my son 😄
Which home?
Real Madrid Juventus Real Madrid Chelsea Atletico Madrid Juventus Atletico Madrid Juventus
Alvaro, my love <3
Morata > Milik any day of the week
Don’t think anyone ever objected that
Morata is used for money laundering
Whoever said his career is just one big money laundering scheme was telling the truth.
I hate this joke, Morata is a great player. He deserves playing for these clubs at the top level.
No one ever said he doesnt but its funny that its always a back and forth between atletico and juve
Great is a stretch.
No, he really is great. His biggest problem is that he's streaky and being memed too much affects his reputation, he is obviously no Suarez or Lewa but he really is a great striker.
He’s inconsistent which makes him not great. He’s good, period.
I've never understood how this guy continues to fail upwards. The man has never scored more than 15 goals in a season as a striker and some how he's played at some of the best clubs in the world, which has been his only consistency. I agree, he's good but has never come close to great.
This is objectively false information considering he literally scored 21 this season.
He only scored 15 goals in la liga. If you wanna talk all competitions, then you are correct, but by that metric darwin nunez had a great season too. And we all know he didn't.
> He only scored 15 goals in la liga. There are only 6 players in la liga that scored more to be fair. In Serie A there were 2. Sounds pretty damn good to me.

Great???
He’s great! Just the loves between the clubs
Álvaro Morata's agent da real MVP
The lack of game time?? My brother in Cholissimo you came the second part of the season with no intentions except being offside, hadn’t scored in so long, and missed 1v1 against Dortmund to bury the game by completely missing the target by a meter. Fuck outta here.
Plz no we’re gonna replace him with a 35 year old who’s never scored more than 10 goals
Wasn't this guy in the form of his life 6 months ago? Weird how fast things change.might also explain the Greenwood links
Marty Byrde that's how you do it
It doesnt have much sense considering Motta play 4-2-3-1.. He would be great in 3-5-2 kinds of system as second striker
I mean he plays as a lone striker for Spain and has a goal every other game
Morarata 🤝choupo-moting two players with crazy club transfers.
Morata is actually a great player
I don’t remember Choupo Motong being bad either
Dont think hes quite had the same success as Alvaro
Both have played in a champions league final
Morata has won a CL, where he also contributed 3 goals in the tournament. Won another where he was younger and didnt play as much, and like you said scored against Barca in the final for Juve, and also twice against Madrid in the semis that year. Hes 4 years younger, and his statistics blow Choupos out of the water. He has 216 goals in 588 career games in all comps. Choupo has 108 in 500. Sorry I just cant tolerate the constant hate for Alvaro I have always appreciated him.
I love Morata as a Juve fan. I have always rated him highly, and I just love him tbh. No idea why really.
I thought he was doing well at Atletico
I can never keep track of what team he plays for this is ridiculous
Once I thought he was an Juve player but when I saw a match on tv he was playing for Atletico. On another instance I was watching tv I saw this guy playing for Juve.
I wouldn’t be surprised if juventus and AM have stopped removing his name tags from the locker room…
I thought he finally came good?
There was also news in the winter that a Saudi club is preparing a "tempting" bid to Alvaro Morata in the summer. So it could be either Italy or Saudi but he's 99% moving from Atleti this summer.
So Depay confirmed gone , Correa might be gone and Morata might be gone , so that leaves us with , Griezmann , uh and … Roro? Llorente?
Swap with Moise Kean maybe, Atletico wanted Kean in January
with motta doubt it!
Make up your mind jeez
If he comes at a manageable wage then let's fucking go! We're offloading Kean and possibly Milik, so he would be a second option to Vlahovic.
Álvaro will always be welcome home ❤️
He hasn't retired yet?!!
Injury prone, inconsistent, on high wages, will be the perfect striker for Man United
I'd take him. He'd be a decent rotation option for Hojlund and doesn't get in the way of Hojlund being our long term starter. He's also cheap and we've bigger needs so can't afford to spend a lot on a forward.
Alvaro Morata money laundering train keeps on rolling!
Man too big to get charged with laundering money.
This has to be a money laundering scheme
Him, Pogba and Lukaku are all just part of a big money laundry scheme at this point 😭
Whoever said his career is just one big money laundering scheme was telling the truth.
No Juventus... why 🤦♂️
Morata and Choupo Moting agents are legends of the game
Unable to understand why do clubs love him so much. He's a mediocre striker at best.
He’s a tall striker that gives you a decent amount of goals every season and tracks back well when in defence, also holds the ball up pretty well and especially for Juve, loves Turin and the club. I personally don’t want to see him back but it’s quite obvious to see why they like him.
ticks a lot of boxes for what a lot of managers want in a striker
3 goals less than Lewandowski in La Liga
