Álvaro Morata

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.
