Alvaro Morata

If i was at Arsenal i'd bring Lacazette because i think he fits our system better and if i was at Chelsea i'd bring Morata since he's better suited to Conte's system i reckon.

If i had to pick the better player regardless of system i'd pick Lacazette simply because he has a better goalscoring record but the jury is out for that one. Let's see how next season plays out for both players.

I'd take Laca. I don't think Morata goal scoring record is good enough to warrant £60m+.

The jury is out on this one.

On one hand he hasn't had a full season of starting role so we dont have a good measuring stick. However, he has done well when given minutes, has a built that can translate well into the PL, and has good technical abilities.

The big question is how well he will handle the pressure of being the main striker for a team looking to win the title. He certainly has the tools and abilities but that is not always a surefire.

The hesitation I always had with Morata was the price tag that came with this uncertainty. For the price being paid you would hope to get a surefire hit, especially considering we don't always buy and pay for high profile players. Chelsea can afford Morata to be a bust. We can't.

To be fair, Lacazette is not a a surefire hit either. He too has to prove that his game can translate to PL.

One question you do have to ask about Morata is that he is 24 years old and should be entering his prime. If he was really really good then why is he not replacing Benzema, who is getting up their in age as well? Maybe RM have been asking the same questions about Morata the ones I just asked.

Neither are world class. Laca has the goals behind him. Morata is younger and can get better.

At this moment in time I wouldn't swap them

Good post.

I am not gonna do a poll but if anyone of you had the choice of the two which one would you prefer? Morata or Lacazette?

Hopefully, I'm right with my assessment

Chelsea fan made this Morata fail compilation when he thought Chelsea was getting Lukaku and ManU was getting Morata.

The comments in the tweet are especially hilarious considering Morata is now going to Chelsea.

Tbf guy said he still holds his opinion that Morata is garbage and is going to keep the video up so fair play to him.

[realtalk]

this kid must have gods looking after him. This is his last chance to make a mark surely. real,juve,real now chelsea for big money. Yet has not held a starting spot anywhere. Last chance but lol at chelsea silly fee morate gonan struggle with speed and physicallity here.

Should off bought aubamy.

Laca 100% and I don't even massively rate him


Morata is gonna have to pull his finger out immensely to become a leading striker for a team expected to win the PL. Conte will be good for him but at this point, particularly given the fees, we got the much better deal.

Uh lets just focus on a year down the road. How can people call players shit before a full season? I dont think Lukaku. Morata or Laca are world beaters but all able to do the job.
