Lots of people did not want Morata. He doesn't score enough. He also would cost too much for what he is. His season at Chelsea illustrates the exact reason why I wouldn't want him here.
If he could not handle the pressure of England, what the hell is he going to do at Milan? Playing at Juve is easy. Things are going well, they have a great team, and a great management structure, but he still wasn't a prolific scorer.
Milan right now is a toxic situation. Every loss is treated now as a incredible failure, each dropped point sparks long pieces asking whether our players or manager are fit to represent the team, even if the match before people were lauding the team as the Italian team of the future.
We need a striker who is not a gamble. We need goals. Maybe Morata will blossom into a world-class striker? He has potential, he has talent, he sometimes reminds me of Morientes, but I don't want to go through those growing pains. We have Silva and Cutrone for that.
Granted, every transfer is a gamble. Morata is a high priced gamble, which I do not think we can afford--whether that is because of UEFA or because our owners don't have money for him, I just don't want him here.
I'd honestly prefer Immobile to most of those we've been linked with. He is the lowest risk player that we've been linked with, and seems to be cheaper than either Morata or Belotti.
