Álvaro Morata

[Special Juan 28,124]

Whilst it's a lot of money for him there was a lot of people moaning about the weakness of our options last season if Costa got injured. We had Remy and Pato to turn too, if this happens that Morata arrives, we have signed Mitsy and bring in say Pelle we then look immediately stronger as a whole. For me and one of our downfalls has always been the thinness of our squad if we suffered injuries/suspensions to our key players and the lack of quality to fill a void.

Losing Costa would be a blow, but if we purchase Morata plus another option like I mentioned we are very well set to have great striking options.

It wont be us spending £150m or whatever on new signings in theory.   We will sell too. 

 

And let's be honest, we barely touched last seasons budget. Batshuayi, Morata, Kante and Koulibaly would do me if the window ended and they were our new signings.  Infact any players in those positions who are better than we have will do me!

Real Madrid willing to sell Alvaro Morata to fund Paul Pogba deal, says Guillem Balague

Well I don't think you need to be a sport journalist to come to this conclusion since we was already talking about this. 

So if Real serious about Pogba they will sell us Morata this summer.

Mirror now saying Arsenal have moved ahead of us and he's leaning towards them because we don't have CL football...

Story seems to change 3 times per day.

Don't trust Sun, Mirror, Daily Mail/Express. They just make stories to get us talking.

 

I'm sure Morata would want to play for Conte more than Wenger. 

[AK-3001 286]

 

And in all honesty, 75 million is a bit too much!

[LondonsFinest 692]

Don't believe the stories of Marca, but neither from the Mirror. 

 

Doubt we'd get him,  now that we have Bats, unless Costa is leaving.

[Pizy 18,866]

Pretty hard to imagine Wenger and Arse spending that much as well. But maybe this is finally the season where they make a true statement of intent...

I really hope we get him. The upside is just enormous.

Me too, there aren't really any young strikers that have announced themselves on the International front in the market. Batshuayi was one of them and we got him. Morata would be a good signing really based on that. 75 million Euros is a bit too much though..

[Hybrid Angel 2,130]

I really couldn't be arsed about the price as long as we cover our other weakness (Cbs and Midfielders) in the transfer market, especially when the likes of Sadio Mane go for 40m. If Conte is going to play two up top, having two top strikers and an average one is a priority. I don't want people moaning when Costa gets injured and we have to field Traore in the starting XI.

Mirror is one of the worst source's why would anyone believe?

Juanma Lopez, Alvaro Morata’s agent, is in Madrid and talking with Real Madrid. The club knows about #Chelsea’s strong interest. [MARCA]

#Chelsea and Antonio Conte’s interest could force Real Madrid into selling Alvaro Morata before they go on their pre-season tour. [MARCA]

MARCA are good with Real Madrid stuff though.  They are essentially their mouthpiece.  

Same as Mundo Deportivo and Sport are pretty good with Barcelona stuff

I even remember once reading about clubs accusing Real Madrid of using MARCA to tap players up and MARCA agreeing to it.  I'd trust MARCA over any other media outlet when it comes to Madrid

[CurlyHairLikeLuiz 1,625]

Sorry but there are many reasons why this won't happen:

 

Costa is better than Morata any day of the week, and Batshuayi looks like hot shit too

Morata won't be willing to sit on the bench, much less for a club that isn't even in Europe

We're about to build a new stadium, Roman isn't going to blow the budget like he used to.

The money would be better spent in other areas.

I expect one more striker as cover for those two. Maybe Pelle will do it, along with Bertrand Traore.
