Cutrone over Morata for me.

If Morata is our idea of a top striker, I'd much rather that money went to the wings.

We still haven’t cleaned up the first mess.

If it’s down to spending 50m+, Immobile is obviously a better choice

Mirabelli spent 40m on Silva and 30M on Kali....

You are telling me we couldn't have added a bit more to close deal for Auba who would be perfect for us? Mismanaged.

Dollar at 6.5m per is an absolute joke. We should have sold him last year when the offers were good. Now we need to wait and hope Dollar improves again that way top teams want to buy him again for 100m plus. We have Reina at 3.5m and Dollar at 6.5m per year...

I still think we had a solid mercato last year since we upgraded most lines but he panicked at the end and instead of buying a LW to close Mercato he spent 30m on fucking Kalinic

Our biggest weakness is zero creativity in midfield and no speed on the wings.

I will wait and see how the squad looks at the end of summer mercato.

If we spent huge money on Morata...

He is NOT an improvement over Cutrone/Silva/Bacca/Kali

We need a top bomber and he is shite.

Depay is good but not WC on the wings... considering we aren't in CL he's as good as we can hope for so not too shabby.

Ceballos would allow us to play 4-2-3-1 and Chala can play CAM.

My dream signing is Chiesa for RW. Would fit in perfectly.

Morata is more experienced but the numbers speak for themselves.



You can make an argument Cutrone is better than Morata already which should tell you everything you need to know.



If we sell Kali, Silva, and Bacca then I feel a bit better about buying Morata but nothing over 40-50m.





We need to focus on fixing the wings and midfield before buying CF.



It won't matter how good our CF is if midfield is shite and wings are slow as fuck.

It's not as if we have 20 mil to spare to take gambles like that, the fact that he's better in a one-off game compared to a player who has proven to be a high level performer in Serie in the last few seasons seems irrelevant in that respect.
Mind you, I wouldn't go for Mertens either, he seems too dependent on his false 9 position in the Sarri system to really be able to manifest himself as a top player. As a winger he's good to have in your team, but not a great player to lift the team to a higher level. His next season under Ancelotti will be important to see whether he will cement his place or not, I'm not so sure he will.

Curupira said:

I think Arsenal and Torino were both trying to fleece us and Morata didn't want to come.

IMO, we probably spent our winger /cf money on Bonucci. We already had Musacchio and still had Paletta (though they aren't great, would have been more than enough for Serie A and EL). But once we spent the Bonucci money, Mirabelli went panic mode because Keita rejected us and we still needed a "proven" CF

I hope he's learned from that mercato and has a plan. Signing a bunch of players because the squad needed work last summer can be excused, but signing a number of gambles like he did last season again should see him fired.

Qaas said:

I wanted morata last summer, now not so much. but arguing that cutrone is better than morata is imo ridiculous. Football is not all about stats, cutrone has 10 goals yes and its good for a debut season but his involvement in the build-up play is almost nonexistent.

Morata has everything except finishing. Obviously as a striker that is the most important thing, but his lack of finishing is more due to him having a weak mentality. In the right environment he could explode.

Anyways i agree that we overall need to upgrade the midfield and wingers before blowing all our money on a cf that isn’t world class. But well see what mirabellis does

Imagine spending 70 mil on Morata when you could go for a good forward instead

The thought of gambling on Morata disgusts me

In my view, there are several factors:

1) He played for Real Madrid and Juve
2) He can move well
3) He's a decent looking guy (Qaas's post notwithstanding)

I know 3 sounds ridiculous, but I would be curious to know how forgiving people would be of Andre Silva if he looked like, say, Kalinic. No offense to Kalinic, of course. I do think 3 factors into it more than we think.

Curupira said:

That’s the thing, we used same argument last summer to sign Kalinic. “More involved in build up, with our team we would give him more service than Fiorentina he should be able to score”.

We need to sign a cf with the characteristics of putting away chances. A more involved cf isn’t going to get us more chances

Nr 3 doesn’t make sense unless you think the majority of milan fans are either female or homosexuals.

It's a marketability thing too.

Let's say A. Silva had an incredible season. Like 20+.

He has all the ingredients to make a lot of money for us.

If you take price and salary into consideration then it's no question. Cutrone hands down
