How do we end up with not even a reserve striker, either super young or super old, thus willing to wait in the wings for just 2-3 games a season? We used to be so stacked; Sturridge when he was young, Di Santo (lol), others. Our U23 squad right now is absolutely barren up front. Musonda/RLC/Abraham/Christensen all leaving that phase has crumbled them a bit. (Sidenote: Watching those guys gave me as much pleasure as watching our senior team. They had a real identity, it was magical.)

I am actually concerned and think it is a huge blow. With how tight the fixture schedule is, we could have done with him. For instance, if he was fit, he could have started on Wednesday and bring Morata on later. With Liverpool the following Saturday, Morata now will be playing virtually 90 mins in every game from yesterday to next Saturday. The trip on Wednesday night is a bloody journey which will take it out of players. Then after that we have a game against Swansea on the Wednesday. Another game where Bats could have given Morata a rest, so unless we play a false no.9 formation, Morata is barely going to have any rest and with his injury niggles this season, is a concern. May not be a lot of people speaking about it but a big blow imo.

Agreed. Which is why I find it funny. Morata injury happens right now and we’re screwed.

Needs to be sold, he will never ever be the main striker here.

I have also heard he is quite close to agreeing terms for a loan to Newcastle, all dependant on us securing target in January.

So he's going nowhere.

Conte clearly has no faith in him, yet decided to keep him & is complaining about players being tired. emoji58.png

Why would he sell him when he doesn't have another striker? He might not play today but for numbers he is good. If Hazard was injured today he would've been forced to play him.

He hardly plays him, so having no CF would be better. Think it's perfect to waste away someone's career to appease numbers?!

Nothing worse than seeing players not getting a chance whilst Baka starts again.
