not really.. We stole a PL proven player from below chelsea's noses. Who knows how Morata will do?
3†
Well he's a CL proven player who scored twice in the semis and once in the final in his 2014-15 campaign, but who knows am I right?
2†
but who knows am I right?
You tell me.. sounds like you know what he's capable of in a league he's never played in, based on a competition that doesn't have similar teams with similar play styles.

You're right, Real Madrid and Barcelona are not even comparable to just about any team in the Prem. Yeah the styles are different, but Lukaku isn't UCL proven, which is a bigger and much more difficult step than being proven in the domestic league. Now they'll both have great teams around them and will start the majority of the games, so we'll see how they play. My reasoning was that if Morata could score against Madrid twice, once at the Bernabeu to seal the leg, by the way, and once in the final to draw the score 1-1, he'll be able to score against the likes of just about any English team.

65M for a guy who's scored 40 league goals in 5 seasons? Lol.

Flo is an ABU lol

Thanks fuck he is cause we got Lukaku

Pretty decent deal considering the nature of the market and how scarce top strikers are right now...
6
cheap.. for today's standards.
5
meh, it's ok.
6
I'd say cheaper than what was once asked of Man Utd and Milan (around €80-85m)
2
Still an insane amount for a relatively unproven 24 year old.

Hmm. I wonder how Perez justifies this. Turned down a £70m offer to then accept £60m. Losing £10m just out of spite.

Morata was probably pushing to leave. I'm pretty certain the add ons will be very easy to achieve.
3
I'm not 100% sure United were really interested in Morata. Maybe it was only a thing to sweeten that Lukaku deal or make things more difficult for Chelsea.
70M£ for Morata seems nearly impossible to reject.
1
I think they convinced Morata it was only a matter of time. But after United got Lukaku and Milan looking at Belotti, Morata might have really pushed for a move
1
Thought Perez was demanding at least 75 Million?
3
Must have been a problem with their fax. He meant to send the inversion of that, £57m.
3
Safe to say no deals will happen between Real and United in the near future at least. Fair enough.
3
Same with Chelsea and Everton after stones and Lukaku
4
Oh yeah. Never realised that.
1
That's the fee without add ons correct? I would assume United could've had him at a similar fee without add ons. Not right to compare 60 to 95 or whatever the rumors were

£60m is pretty good business by Chelsea considering the current market.
1
Yeah, fine, but can he do it at a cold, windy, rainy hurricane-tornado-blizzard (and erupting volcano) at Stoke? I'm not so sure...

Id imagine its £60-65 mil initial fee but a lot of easily achievable clauses(things like 5mil after 10 goals scored and 5 mil after cl qualification) but off course this is just speculation, have a hard time seeing Perez selling morata for 65mil when he dragged united for 75-80 mil regardless of his hate for utd it's still his job to get as much as possible
1
Getting him for anything less than £70m is great for Chelsea, but I'm afraid this will be the link that sends Hazard the other way in a year or two.
Madrid be like "friendship with united ended, new best friend is Chelsea"
0
We don't want/need Hazard. Even less with 27/28 years.
2
You do need any one, but want is the different word. If hazard continues killing it, and has a good WC, I'm sure Flo will come knocking
1
I don't understand Hazard's hype. Nevertheless, it seems that we are going for younger players, and I fucking love it.
1
I'm sure (either) this window or next, Madrid will make a splash. Mbappe probably, or Dembele. Not sure if you will continue using CR7 as a 9, which could lead to a winger being signed.
1
What's the price for Man Utd initially??
90m for them, 57m just for you bb <3
😘
You're just buttering us up for Eden/Courtois, aren't you? :(
Don't expect us to return the favor if you come asking about Hazard
In that case Perez is an emotional fool.
He wanted £75 mil from us lol
I guess Perez still mad about not getting de gea
80-85 million euros
