People are still using that tired "he needs confidence" excuse. He needed confidence for years.

What he needs is to go somewhere else lol

I would still put Talisca high on your list tho mate.

Those are strikers, not AMF's

That list (AMF) is really short for me (Isco ain't happening, unfortunately and I dun trust Fekir's knee after the scouser scum passed on him over it)

3 names

Talisca (January move)

Kai Havertz (if no Talisca in january, this is my actual favourite, BUT don't want to fuck up Bailey deal and make Bayer Leverkusen think we want to strip their team ( I would!!!)

Carlos Soler

If Morata had ONE TENTH the fire in his belly that Mitrovic has he would a top 10 striker.

He's more concerned about looking pretty than hitting the target with his shots

Lol...he does strike me as the Spanish superman with the blue kit. In looks at least

I tried to be irrationally positive in support of Morata. I have completely given up now haha he is just a total liaibility. We will have to splash cash in the market to fix the problem the same way we did with Kepa. I like Batsman, but its a big jump to rely on him next year with Giroud alone.

And thats what Mat K is probably thinking when he plays with his hair.

Its beyond iinfuriating just how many chances this lad misses. Week in week out he gets set up and ALWAYS manages to miss

I was one that thought we had done good business when we bought him and still had high hopes for him specially when Satti came in but  I dont care how much we sell him for he needs to piss off now.

Last night he was again guilty of dithering on the ball, he is so slow to release it, and his lack of shielding doesn't help that.

I have no idea what hes good at.

Missing!!!! Making us swear! 

Its so frustrating but I don't think he's gana suddenly turn into the player he was and should be. Another expensive mistake and time to let go. If does well elsewhere good on him but can't give him longer really

We need to get rid of him as fast as possible to avoid another Torres saga.

You're dead right mate. Excellent choice of word for him

We should send him a summons. TalkChelsea have found you guilty of dithering you blithering ijit!

I would like nothing better for him to prove us all dead wrong but really cant see any chance of it.

But we are going to lose our arses on him money wise. And IF Eden decides to do one we wont get near £100 mill for him.

Not going to be able to get the 5 upgrades I'd love us to get.

[El P. 1,354]

We should sell Bats and loan/sell Morata next summer. Keep Giroud as a backup, use money of those two, add some more and bring quality striker. Even someone like Lacazette would be huge upgrade on what we have.

Just save what you can save from this situation. I would be content if we somehow get 40 millions for him.

[Iggy Doonican 4,186]

I always think of the Brian Clough quote about Trevor Brooking when it comes to Morata '' Floats like a butterfly and stings like one''.

[Magic Lamps 11,677]

at this point, I just want a solid striker. someone who is emotionally stable can be in and out the team without losing confidence. Scores his fair share and has ok link up play and dribbling. Basically a younger, quicker , more clinical Giroud. I think nowadays for striker it is more important to be a jack of all trades than someone who is a pure finisher but does not do anything else like Bats. (Still prefer Bats over Morata with our current system). But at the same time it does not help when you are quick and decent pace and size but cant use it like Morata. As soon as one of the boxes is not at least half ticked the striker becomes a complete liability. Also because of the dominance of the inverted wingers being the most potent threads in most top teams, strikers have a hard time to shine as such. Combine that with the current say moderate average class of top-league strikers available. Really bonkers how we splashed out 70m on MOrata who never was the leading striker for any team and is not even caught out to be one. I doubt we would have finished lower than 5th last season with any other average EPL striker. A lot of strikers go into weeks and weeks of not scoring and the media blows it up like hell but only the bad ones let their confidence be affected by that. As so often in life, it does not matter why you got down it counts how you get up, again and again and again that takes strength of character and will but that is exactly what we are missing from Morata. 

[Cosmin 2,484]

He's way worse than Torres. 

[Vesper 29,079]

Conte's cock-up with Costa looks worse with each passing week, month, year.

Diego would score 30 in Sarriball, and put some steel into the middle.

At this point I am all for either recalling Bats and giving him a full half season try, loaning Morata to Derby (not joking) and seeing if Lamps can get his confidence back, and maybe get promoted so Mount gets EPL experience, plus making a move for Anthony Modeste, who is in China, only 30 (so a good 2, 3 year stop-gap) would be very affordable,  and scored 34 goals (25 in Bundesliga league games) for a pretty shit (now relegated after he left) Köln team in 43 games all comps in 2016-17.
