Tottenham target Morata and Kulusevski transfers to ease Antonio Conte's fury

Tottenham are worried Antonio Conte could walk out of the club after a dismal January transfer window that has seen Adama Traore and Luis Diaz snub them - but eyes are now on Juventus pair Dujan Kulusevski and Alvaro Morata

The headline is enough to cause heart attacks

Of course it's by Darren Lewis. Should have known from the intro without clicking. ??‍

Please nooooo
Morata that is

We’ve had no decent second striker option basically since Defoe left (and I’m not including Carlos ‘hat trick against amateur teams’ Vinicius deliberately)

Anyone turning their nose up at signing Spain’s starting number 9 on loan (!!) needs to really come back down to earth with their expectations imo.

He could work very well in a 2 with Kane due to his creativity and attacking versatility. And yes, he’s a poor finisher, but he could definitely spell Kane and let him rest for 20 mins a game/against shit like Burnley.

This. He would be miles and miles and miles better than any backup striker we’ve had in all of Kane’s years. Would be a phenomenal loan signing.

Yeah agree. The majority of the latest names being linked do very little in helping resolve our main issues in the team. Whilst Morata is far from perfect, he's an experienced striker and a target man which would definitely give us another option we dont have.
On loan til the end of the season is a no brainer for me.

I love Stevie but he cannot play as a lone CF if Kane or Son get injured. Having Morata on a 6 month loan gives us options until the summer.

Darn tootin’!

It’s all about Conte, for me. If Conte wants him, let’s do it. If Conte doesn’t, pass.

 

[Clark28]

Would be the 2nd best striker we've had in years (how sad is that)

Not that sad considering he's been Spain's starting #9 for years.

Finally I'd say it's all about the player, whether he wants to come or not.

Abouty as good as Bamford? Discuss.

I’m assuming Trix’s comment suggests it’s a no go.

Shame in some ways. I am not the biggest fan of Morata - he’s simply not clinical enough. However, he has something about him. Some of his hold up play, ability to get into space is better than we give credit for.

When you look at the clubs he’s been to, the managers he’s worked under there is a good endorsement for the work he does.

Apologies I've only read the OP not the article. Should have made that clear. I've deleted it as I can see it could cause confusion.

Would be a decent back-up option, a lot better than nothing.

Can’t see it

Ah. Sorry mate. I probably misread and didn’t want to sound like I was fishing either!

 

[spursfan77]

I’ve never been keen on him, but as a Kane back up he’s not a bad choice.
