Morata is defo a big gamble. He might turn out to be better player but with Lukaku you know what you're getting. Frankly we cannot afford more gambles.

Morata is defo a big gamble. He might turn out to be better player but with Lukaku you know what you're getting. Frankly we cannot afford more gambles.
Teams don't park the bus against Everton. They do against Man United.
Is Danilo a right back?
I'm blue daba dee daba di
They can also double or triple team Lukaku since he's their only threat.
You can't really so that v United.
Yes
Can't help but be worried we've missed out by not signing Morata. Would have preferred him over Lukaku in all honesty. Ah well, hope to be proven wrong.
Unless he's biblically shit at them in training, he'll probably be taking penalties too.
You mean that inferior team that finished one place behind us? We aren't that superior.
Less than they paid for Stones
Primarily yes but his versatility (can also play LB and DM) makes him attractive to Pep who loves working with such players.
Morata might be a big gamble and Lukaku might score more, but I would say Chelsea are more likely to win the league than us. So Morata might end up with even more medals for his collection.
Everton had few goal threats other than Lukaku. Barkley was next with a mere 6 PL goals.
Lukaku was pretty much their Plan A B and C.
That won't happen at United.
Scumbag move from Real. I really hope we are just as cnutish when they want a player of ours next time.
We sold him for €80M plus add-ons(unspecified)
But then again we won more competitions last season, so Lukaku will win the more medals.
Yeah and that's pretty much the fee they asked us for in the end (€80M+€10M in add ons). So, we pulled out on the deal as we felt that Lukaku was better value for money.
I hope we produce a player they might want apart from DDG. I am not so hopeful at the moment. I doubt we will be doing business with them any time soon.
They are more likely win the CL and PL, that will be want Morata wants.
I think it might be down to how much support they get. At the moment, Chelsea is better equipped for that.
I believe el3mel said announce not pronounce.
They're missing Hazard and Bakayoko for the first month of the season and their squad depth at the moment is thinner than the rest in the top 6. I wouldn't be so sure they will be a huge success this season.
They sold one of their players to a team who offered them the money they wanted. Grow up.
Agree with that. That is the problem we have. Chelsea are full of goals, wish people would get it into their heads that Lukaku on his own will win us nothing. If it goes like last season, he will need to score every single game as the rest were hopeless. So here's hoping the others have found some finishing skills during the summer. Rashford and Mhki have shown signs.
I knew Hazard had a problem, what is wrong with Bakayoko?
We got the better player. Don't see the problem. Can't be fleeced for someone who is mostly on the bench.
Was it really the same figure they wanted from us? Did they drag it on as long? This one was wrapped up in no time and looks to be about the same as what we offered (perhaps a bit less).
Sky sport Italy(Di Marzio's team) reporting chelsea will pay around €85M for Morata
Knee injury. He had to have surgery at the end of the season.
Doubt either will win the league. Think this might be Spurs' year tbh. If it's not Spurs it'll probably be City
Which is a little bit less than what they wanted off us (if you believe reports which are usually bollocks tbf). Weren't we like 4-5m away and then got Lukaku? So they probably rejected what they have accepted here.
Request been €90M until now. Not sure about united's offer. Di Marzio said united offered €85M, too, but dunno whether the offer was the same. Could be the offer was structured differently. Could be Morata convinced Perez to give up on those extra €5M. Could be any number of reasons. Including Perez just wanting more from Utd for whatever reason, i guess
They won the league last season as they lacked European competition, now they have it this season I wouldnt be so sure they would be more likely to win it than ourselves.
Yeap pretty much.
Wtf we offered that too
