the club isn't loyal to the managers either. and the squad is too thin.. all waited for 1st july for player signing announcements. end up we ship out more than we bring in.
There's a reason why Abramovich keeps sack coaches..
"I admit it's a very important amount but I have the personality to play with calmness and continue my path," the 24-year-old said. "I have only played two preseason games, 15 official minutes and a missed penalty. They [the critics] are already killing me so I know what awaits me.
"It's the price you have to pay for such a big transfer. It's something that motivates me and makes me work harder every day, to be an extra hour each day in the training ground. I know that double the people are watching me now."
"Now I have to adapt to the new team, to an Italian coach who is very tactical, there are many changes," he added. "But now I have adapted and I'm looking forward to playing. I hope that is reflected on the pitch.
"I have to adapt to the team system, which is like an Italian one because of the coach. I need to understand Conte well, he demands the opposite to what my past coaches asked of me. I will play in different positions, with diverse tactical plays.
"I've understood those changes already and from now on, everything should be easier. I don't think I have to adapt to the Premier League but rather to my new coach. Antonio is not only asking me to make the usual moves of a striker.
"I hope I can score more than 20 goals. That is my job. But I'm not obsessed in that sense as I would change it for any collective title.
"During my time at Juve I didn't score more than 20 goals a year but I won every title except the Champions League. I've scored 15 or 16 goals and I've lifted titles and other strikers have scored 35 and haven't won anything." - Alvaro Morata
I think the statement above was for his critics. I want to make it clear that I didn't slate him anything unlike others. He is a calm striker.

In terms of upgrade, have to admit. No upgrade yet. All signings so far are replacements for players that went out. Not upgrade.
CB. JT, Zouma and Ake out. But only Christensen and Rudiger in. 1 more CB would be perfect dy. Wingback still the least depth. Cmf need 1 more. And a plan B striker to replace the soon to exit Costa.
Don't need la Conte out. Everything there's a middle ground. Now is see if Conte can find a middle ground between his choice/decision with board's choice/decision.

Conte probably wants to use 4-2-4, only 2 in midfield, deswai don't see much bids for wingback
Torino thrashed Trapani 7-1 in the Coppa Italia, with Andrea Belotti bagging a brace. The Granata the Sicilian side at the Stadio Olimpico Grande Torino, with Milan sporting director Massimiliano Mirabelli in the stands, reportedly to watch Belotti.
This striker is a rough beast and can score all sorts of goals while still be able to defend. We still have time before 31 August but I doubt we'll go for him now since we got Morata and furthermore he won't be playing second fiddle. No disrespect to Torino but he deserved to be in a bigger club.
