Is there a configuration to make them appear in tapatalk? The forum still doesn't have an app for Android, right?

Some of the members have mentioned the issue in the Feedback thread. Jim should be looking into it soon. Not sure about the app though.

The bald fella in this video talks very highly of morata he thinks morata will be a great signing for chelsea

I'm just sitting here in disbelief that this has actually happened, and so out of the blue! We all thought this was dead, and then suddenly just for only one day very strong rumours emerged and the next day we get an official announcement. Buzzing! Have a gut feeling (caused by wishful thinking) that he'll be absolutely brilliant under Conte. I'm just imagining him, Hazard, Pedro and Fabregas confusing the hell out of defenders. With Costa, defenders were already accustomed to his physical playing style, you just had to get close to him and not give him time on the ball and chances were he'd squander possession. His strengths lied elsewhere, getting as few touches on the ball as possible, movement and instinct was key... but with Morata they will now have to back off and give him some space, because otherwise he will just go past you with superior pace. It will be very interesting to see how our team will play with him, we can't play like we're used to with a target man, but purely his height still gives us a long ball option if needed. Polar opposite players with Costa, we will play very different football. Can't wait.

i`m chuffed we got him..best all round striker available at start of transfer window imo..and his name rolls off the tongue for songs much better than the Dortmund dude that i was gonna just call PEA.

 

Hope Jose is wrong about Lukaku a 2nd time...i certainly think we got the best fit for us in Morata tho.

Ill be praying 🙏 that morata doesn't get the number 9 shirt we seen Franco Di Santo, Fernando Torres and Radamel Falcao Chris Sutton not do so well in that number 9 shirt

ALVARO MORATA will be a big success for Chelsea in the Premier League, according to Spanish football expert Gerry Armstrong.

Ofc she was, what else could it be? It's appalling people think commentators are there to comment how smart as a person a player is. Don't how how people interpreted it any other way.

Hello Barbera,

As you perhaps know, I almost always agree with your point of view but I do have a slight difference with you here. I said in my response that I felt I understood what she meant, but that she had expressed the point carelessly, and I stand by that.

Yes, I understood the commentary to be about football intelligence but the journalist talked about learning ability which is a reference to general intelligence. I take "football intelligence" to be about a feel for the game, an inate understanding about what is effective and in what situations. I do not take it to be about the ability to absorb technical and tactical messages. It is in that sense that I feel the idea could have been communicated better.
