Alvaro Morata

😆 If there was some way of inducing the bizarre competitive personality disorder that Cristiano Ronaldo has in young children, the quality of football globally would skyrocket.

😆 Jesus Christ, this man is such a weirdo! Makes it even more weird to see the tip toe thing span so many years. You'd think that at one point in his career he'd just be content with who he is.

He'll never be content. That's why he's scoring 50 goals at age 30 and looks like he might enter Mr. Universe in his off time. His hunger is insatiable. I would drop 60-80m pounds on him even now. He'll be outscoring current Giroud at age 35. Just a beast. Full of weird antics, but it's part of the package.

SANTO ANTÓNIO, 1992. CROSSROADS JUST OUTSIDE OF TOWN.

DEVIL: Hello, young man. And where might you be going at this time of night?
CRISTIANO RONALDO: Oh Senhor! I'm going to the fields to pick feverfew for my mother, who has a terrible migraine.
DEVIL: Do you like football, boy?
CRISTIANO RONALDO: Senhor, I love the football. I am loving the football. O futebol! I love the football with my life.
DEVIL: Child, I have a deal for you. I will make you one of the greatest footballers in your era. You will score hundreds of goals for one of the world's greatest football clubs.
CRISTIANO RONALDO: That sounds great. But what's the catch?
DEVIL: In return, you must allow me to afflict you with far worse psychological hangups than Michael Jackson.
CRISTIANO RONALDO: [spits in palm] It's a deal! Say, who are you anyway?

Don't know. I had that story, strange as it may sound, from an old man at the crossroads who asked me if I wanted to trade my firstborn child to become the greatest poster on an obscure Arsenal forum.

(I didn't take the deal.)

Indeed. Nor do I stand on tiptoes when I'm posting.

Talks of us offering £51m to Madrid.

I'm curious what's stopping Morata just rejecting the contract offers from Madrid and in turn allowing Juventus to sell him to the next buyer in line. Surely it would be in his best interest to go for a cheaper sum so his future club can use the left over funds to strengthen further.

jones

Pretty sure Morata will have agreed to the initial buyback clause. Don't think it would've been possible to negotiate a contract about his transfer rights without his consent (unless we're talking Gestifute clients)

so given that hes played in a ton of matches, id guess the clause is 30m and it has to be activated in the first 2 weeks of july. madrid then owns his rights again, and they are free to sell him. obviously he can protest and refuse to play for madrid to try and force their hand.

juve have paid 9.3m euros for him so far. if madrid buy him back, they would pay juve 30m euros, so juve essentially will have made about 20m euros and had morata for 2 seasons.

evoh1

There is real transaction risk with them trying to sign him back to sell him. If they can't move him in the window then they will have to register him and then it goes to shit,

Juve will have to pay the full amount on the dates specified whether he transfers back or not, though they would probably just net off the payments back from Madrid. It would make more sense for someone buying to negotiate a release with Madrid directly to drop the resigning clause and everything else, clean way to do the deal.

goon

If I didn't witness the crap with pulled with Vela I'd have said this is all convoluted bs. In fact, I still think it's houseboat.

What is Juventus' position on him? Is he down the pecking order? Are they particularly fussed about losing him?

Rex

What's the deal with registration here anyway? Can a player switch registration twice in the same transfer window even? That is, would Morata be eligible to play if he is first registered with Madrid, then registered again with another club?
