As a Lacazette long term fan I am disappointed he has joined Arsenal. I have seen little of Morata but he would be my choice, because Lukaku is not the kind of striker I prefer. He is very good at what he does, so not knocking him, but I prefer mobile, unselfish strikers who take a chance when it comes, but looks for others better placed.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

I think you've just nailed the reason I don't like him.

He's a greedy

Much more succinct Shinj, and just as accurate.

I much prefer someone who would rather pass to a "guaranteed goal" positioned player than take a 66% chance himself.


A particular one that springs to mind is Ince to McClair 94

And a couple of Yorke-Cole ones, surely there were some?

'Baz Quincey' private eye at your service. Shin, I believe you've been ingesting brain rotting drugs again. Careful, there only a small amount of grey matter left up there, and it's high as an astronaut.

Fck me if I ever write a crime-fiction book, it'll be about a tight-arris private eye named Baz Quincey

Thanks for half-spelling it out for me. And curing my phobia

People knock Lukaku but his goals return in the PL has been brilliant for a player his age.

That said, is no one else bothered about Rashford development? An older striker would have been good IMO as it allows Marcus to develop then be the main man in another season or two.

A big money, 22-23 year old just pushes Rashford out of the picture a bit more doesn't it? I know he'll get some game time but the pressure will be to play the new striker whenever fit.

If he gets frustrated and leaves us it'll be an absolute travesty. I know I'm jumping ahead of myself but I really want him to make it at United

I think lukaku has more urban appeal. That should seal it over morata. Rashford really needs to up his dab skills to be a success at Utd.

Cannot knock the scoring record.

I just hope Jose is building a different machine with Martial and Rashford at the forefront of the plans.

I still hope they can form a 3 from the wings around a main striker.

With Lukaku hunting the glory all the time, I don't want him, for myriad reasons. One being him stunting M&R

Bruceandpally. I'm hoping we will play Rashford and Morata as a pair most weeks. With the money we have spent, and our tradition,we should be looking to attack teams.

posted on 5/7/17

Morata is a bit of a greedy too

I'd prefer him to lukaku.... But he's not always the cleverest

posted on 5/7/17

By the way Shinj, loving the ' I can up the whelm levels'. A first for me, but I will use it often and claim it as my own.

I didn't want Lukaku, prefer him to Morata though tbh.

Morata and Lukaku could work, one a skilful, clever thinking striker making space and opportunities for the more direct one, with Rashford and Martial very capable strikers 3+4

It'd be like '99 all over again, stick it on the card, Ed.

The urban appeal joke is really getting old.

Ah, I see the point your making. Maybe he'll be so buzzing with his Morata/Lukaku/Rashford/Griezmann/Martial/Dybala/Neymar front seven he'll change his system to accommodate at least two of them.

I watched Frank Stapleton score the winner at Anfield once. I never realised he moved on to presenting talk shows and serial killing. You think you know someone.

Switch from an 8-1-1 to a 7-2-1? That's crazy optimism!

If Jose saves us from Lukaku it might re trigger how i felt about him in 2005.

posted on 5/7/17

Why would we sign both morata and lukaku, how would they even fit into the team together, where would rashford play? Martial? Not going to happen, we only need one of them. rashford can play on the wing with say morata upfront and if morata is rested, radhford upfront and another winger coming in.
