Morata came on for last ten minutes of Italian cup final and scored a decent goal and most likely the winner. Given how we spend as a club, I'm not sure I'd want us to spend that much on a player based on potential.

Also, 50-60 million today is less than what 30 million was even 10 years ago in football economics.
We may have lost out on Martial because of that.
here's the goal for anyone elseQuote:

Lacazzette would cost £30m+
Icardi near £25m
Higuain £40m (annoyingly, should've signed him 3 years ago :doh: )
Morata is ALOT but we might just have to get him. He doesn't have that much pace though
I'd also take a punt on the Janssen guy from AZ Alkmaar
Nice the way he reads the line all the way down the pitch while keeping himself available for the pass the entire time. Our lump would do the opposite, cling to the defender the whole way down the pitch and then leap offside at the critical moment.Quote:

Cheeky bid for Gabriel Barbossa maybe? Or is he destined for bigger things if he leaves Santos?
Plus I'm sure there's the usual string of forwards that I've never heard of from France, Portugal, Switzerland and other random leagues...
Morata linked again.

Do we want to spend 30 million+ on a guy behind Dybala and Mandzukic?
