This is the second time I've read this illogical statement of yours. You gotta stop talking bullshit as if its fact. Although credit to you, last time you said only Spanish, French and Germans. I suppose 20 posts down the line you'll get there...

😆 surely you're not stupid enough to think I was being entirely serious.

I think buying Morata makes a lot of sense. It was always unlikely that Wenger would dump Giroud just after a season. And unless we got someone like Cavani which itself was difficult buying someone like Morata seemed like the decent option.

It means genuine competition for Giroud. Not just in terms of position, but that Morata is more of a false 9/team-play striker than say a Suarez/Sturridge kinds.

Lastly if it means blowing up cash on a player like a Sanchez or a Sharaawy i am all for it.

Don't know if I like this rumour. He doesn't seem like a vey special player.

These rumours are really picking up pace. Some spanish press claiming its done for 10 mill euros.

10m with a buyback? might as well. hope he doesn't break our hearts, but we need options up front. he'll be an upgrade on Sanogo/Bendnter at the very least

So.. Giroud and Morata up front next season? Another fight for the Prize™ is looming.

Not doubt if we get Morata, he will be all that we bring in upfront.. Would be a stupid.

Wish they'd hurry up and confirm this, I guess the whole buy back issue's the sticking point.
I have very positive feelings about the efrects of adding Morata to our squad.

I think the fact that this isn't happening at all is slowing down the official announcement.

No doubt this would be very underwhelming but there aren't a lot of top strikers around and maybe Wenger feels its better to spend on a good young player who could potentially be great rather than spending a lot on someone like Balotelli /Benzema and it not working out. I'd be ok with this so long as the rest of the side sees proper investment. and at least one elite midfielder is added to the squad.

I'm actually going to be really disappointed if we do not sign him now.
In my mind this is a done deal 🙂

😆
Sounds so fucked up I wouldn't be surprised if it happens.

I'd rather go for Benzema because not only is he far better at the moment, he's also more talented than Morata IMO.

Jese vs Benzema would have been a much more difficult choice, but I would have still gone for Benzema. With the money we have we really shouldn't be relying on a project to lead the line for us at this point.
