Poch essentially saying the best players don't want to sit on the bench, they cannot compete with Kane... hmm, could have been worded better...
Good to hear more comments from Poch about the need for signings and better depth. Perhaps the 50% of posters on here who don't think we need any can read the article a couple times
Quite.
He's upping the pressure on board with some of these comments whilst distancing himself from some of the poorer signings.
He's clear he wants new players and better than the ones we got last year (Wanyama aside) I imagine he's not happy about the window.
I'm not sure he's distancing himself from them because he would have selected the players rather than Levy. However, as well as upping the pressure on Levy as you say, he's reiterating that we can't buy top bracket players, which therefore gives him a get out in the event that they aren't up to scratch as they're more risky signings.
I think his comments are very honest and accurate
Well that's Morata motivated enough to bang in a few against us next season
Poch didnt have to mention this. It was a private conversation between him and the player
Better to let others play silly mind games and Poch to simply look after his own business
I'm not sure about that. Costa has been annoyingly superb for Chelsea. If morata is close to that level I'll be surprised to be honest. His career to date has largely been underwhelming considering his high profile reputation. I'm hoping for morientes mark 2.i'd be wary of baiting Morata, he's twice the player Costa is, and twice Costa has been enough
His scoring record is actually quite good. A goal every other game based on minutes played for Juve and slightly better than a goal per game for Real based on minutes played.Morata has got a pretty crap goal-scoring record for a player that cost over £50m.

It's more that it's over a rather small sample and playing for very dominant teams. A sub or rotation player getting game time in favourable game conditions should score quite a few.
I've always thought he's looked good. Only 24 too. But he clearly needs to step it up a level to be considered a top striker, as Costa was. But I think that's about what £50m gets you these days.
