This is going to end in tears. We really had another chance to build on a title winning side in times where we are surrounded by big money spending clubs all chomping at the bit to be number 1. I thought we had learned our lesson under Joses second reign. We could lose sight of the Manchester clubs and end up like Arsenal if we are not careful.

Behave yourself.

If he had the same drive in ambition as CR7. He would have left 2 seasons ago.

To be honest, I'm basing it on gut instinct. I just can't shake the idea from my head that Morata isn't going to be a hit here (yet). I really hope I am wrong. I don't strive to be negitive towards a new arrival. I mean, I like the guy. At this present time, with the squad that we have, we need a beast leading the line. A striker who can dig us out of a rut, very much like Costa did last season. I'm praying that guy is Morata because if it doesn't work out, could you imagine how reserved Roman will be when signing strikers for big bucks in the future.

True say. I personally have little confidence in Morata. I am starting to think Lukaku was the right man for us. He is going to be a beast at United. Give Bats a chance though. I think he has huge potential.. he needs that all important game time.

We have replaced Costa with Morata and it seems Bats is going to get a proper run of games this time out, unlike last season. So I feel we are covered in that area. Matic is a loss that hasn't yet been rectified but it is early days cosidering he only left a fee days ago. Lets just hope we replace him properly.

I hope you are correct man. I really do. We need Drinkwater badly.

Well seeing as I only have a fiver to my name. They can have the sweet sum of fuck all from me.

Although I agree with most of what you said, you have to take into consideration that we wasn't playing Champions League last season.

Watford. 😉

I really hope we get him. Watching him im Arsenals pre-season friendly the other day albeit against a poor side, he really impressed me. I can see him fitting into our side in the right wingback position. Tonnes of pace and good ability, he definitely has the tools for Conte to work with. It would be an upgrade on Moses in my book.

Yes, we need squad depth for sure. Our numbers are dangerously short. I can't help having higher expectations on who I deem good enough to warm the bench. That's not to knock Drinkwaters ability because I think he is decent but I want more than decent here at this club. If Kante, Cesc or Bakayoko get injured during the coming season... I'm not confident in bringing Drinkwater in to replace one of them, especially if we are facing top sides in Europe.

Ox would be a great addition to the squad. Candreva doesn't look too bad and Barkley is not bad on his day but Drinkwater ffs.

I actually laughed out loud when I read that we are linked with this guy. He was pretty decent when Leicester won thr league but he isn't going to improve our squad one bit.

Yea he did look ok to be fair. Matic though? Comon, he has been below par for quite some time now.

Ahh Matic.. Good bye pal. Thanks for the painfully left sided runs towards the oppositions corner flag and the occasional goal.

If we had gone that route, we all know we would have loaned him out to Vitesse. On return, we would have sent him out on a second loan spell to Stoke. After that, it's curtains for his career.

Modric was immense last season. He ran the show at Madrid. I curse the footballing Gods that he played for the Yids before he left for Madrid... if it had been any other club we might have had a realistic chance at him playing for us.

Just recieved my tickets. Absolutely buzzing for this one. It's not going to be easy by a long chalk but hopefully it's not a wasted trip. If I see Morata playing on the left wing though, I am going to explode and run to the dugout and slap Conte myself.

The criticism his lad is recieving on here is baffling to say the least. Although he has looked a little lost in the pre-season games (along side Fabregas who looks like an extra from The Walking Dead at times). He was instrumental in our winning of the title last season. To call for his head and exclude him from the lineup for the coming season is ridiculous. Kante is all about business. Alongside Bakayoko, I believe we will all be creaming our knickers come December.

He isn't a bloody winger so what is thr point in this article?

He hasnt been useless. He os out of position. What he has done with the ball has been ok. Bats though.... he is shining.

A lot of Inters fans say he is awful. They want him gone!

Wait, what is a widget bro? I am clueless!

I was fuming. I have no idea why I thought it was on today. I just want to see Morata bang in a few goals then I'm happy for the season to start.
