Morata only played 5 full games in all competitions last season, to put that in perspective Kompany managed 7 even with all his injury problems. Even Jesus managed 5 full games for us this season and he only just got here.

He started a single CL game against Legia where he got 84min, other than that start against an average team, he got roughly 5-10min in his other 8 sub appearances.

He has managed to score quite a few from limited time but they are almost all against poorer sides as Zidane doesnt play him in big games, as seen in his CL game time.

If we look at Juvi the previous two years, he scored 11 in 49 games and 13 in 41 in the league + CL. His role was almost exactly the same as at Madrid, a sub. Although he started more games for them he still got around the same total time and again only a handful of completed matches each season.

With similar minutes over the last 3 seasons he has averaged around 1 goal per 90min at Madrid whereas he was around 0.4 - 0.5 goal per 90min during his two Juvi seasons. Compared to Sergio who has has 0.75, 0.91 and 0.93 over the last three seasons while playing over 1000 more minutes each season. Generally playing full games will reduce goals / min ratio and give a truer reflection of expected goals. Similar to how Nacho has (had?) the highest goals / min in the league due to sub appearances.

For me this shows his goalscoring is more down to Madrid being so good than him being a good striker, even at Juvi where they dominate the league, his goal scoring was completely average and well behind Dybala.

He hasnt shown at Juvi or Madrid he is capable of being a clubs starting striker, he is a sub / rotation option. Can he perform when he is expected to be the main man playing every game, not coming on against tired legs when your team have already got the game in the bag?

This is not even taking into account how crap the rags attack is, he has had a life of luxury playing for Madrid and Juvi in comparison.

I was looking at the scores of the games and the teams he played against,

when the team plays well he plays well, for the supposed fee they are paying it is ridiculous, and their were better options
 
Much prefer they get Morata than Belotti, hopefully rumors are true. Way overpriced, its one thing to scores goals as bench player playing for Juve, then improving your tally by joining Real who is the best in the world, but doing so for a 6th place rag team is a completely different story. The supporting players around him are much much worse than those at Juve and Real, he will struggle there but I don't blame him for joining, was a bench player last few years and now has the opportunity to double or even treble his wages along with increasing his brand and image, why not.

One thing is for sure he won't replace Big Nose's 28 goals, won't come close.
 
About 1 in 3 for 23 year old not bad.
Sure he's playing for Real which helps but to have a better goals/mins ratio than Ronaldo,Bale and Benzema suggests a bright future.
Whether the fee is a bit high is possible but that's the current market.

He hasnt got better goal ratio than Ronaldo or Benzema
 
I honestly believe their style of play the best signing for them would be Andy Carroll. He would score a lot of goals for them up too on his own.

Fortunately they're too busy wanting to get someone for £60+ because it makes a statement

Carroll cost the red Scouse £35 million. His value must have risen since then, when you consider inflation and the way transfer fees have rocketed.

If the rags want to pay West Ham £60 for him, I'm sure the 'Ammers would be happy to accept it.
