Sanchez.... would u call him Barcelona's waste?? Just because morata is coming from Madrid doesn't make him there waste.

Looks like it's finally happening. So many twists and turns in this however that I won't believe anything till I see it with my own eyes.

 

Morata is an immense risk but an 18-year-old Mbappe for Real Madrid at a world record price is not? Really?

From what I've seen most Real Madrid fans are gutted if Morata goes.

 

From a risk and reward concept absolutely. Mbappe is already one of the best and huge potential. Mbappe could walk into any starting squad with the exception of Barca, and possibly Madrid.

How about Morata at age 25? He has neither great potential or great body of work.  Madrid fans i know are calling it their best piece business since signing Ronaldo. Only Madrid fans who are gutted are those who are sentimental because he is a Castilla product.

No mate, when Torres was announced years ago the forum went down due to traffic. People are really calm right now.

I mean I'm very happy and excited, but £70 m are way too excessive for a player that is somewhat unproven to be the leading striker of a top team (or any team). I'm still cautiously optimistic, I hope he fulfills the great expectations we have for him and turn out to be the world class striker we paid for.

Shed forum has already moved the morata thread lol

Yes, Real Madrid waste. Just like Makelele.

No comparison between Sanchez and Morata. One was a regular at Barca, incredible with Chilie, and shown so much in his career. While you can not say any of those about Morata.

I dont think he is worth the kind of money people say we are paying, but I really hope he will score more goals than Lukaku, since I'm pretty sure United went for Lukaku just because Mourinho is obsessed with the idea of beating his old club in every way possible. They even made a last minuted bid for Bakayoko. 

I'm taking tabloid reporting with a pinch of salt. It was widely publicised that Chelsea wanted Lukakau but I've not seen any evidence of a bid. The same might he said for United and Bakayoko.

I've read quite a few articles analysing Moratta and whilst it's true he hasn't banged in 20 a season year on year everything about his stats suggests he is capable. 

Lukaka is a proven goal scorer, but the problems which Mourinhi highlighted when we sold him (in short his work ethic) remain.

Each have there merits, Morattonis more technically gifted, and a tireless worker for the team. Lukaka is goal machine able to impose himself sing his physical preference. But I'm happy with the purchase, seal the deal for Sandro and this makes for a great transfer period for Chelsea IMO.

at one point or another every one is some ones waste. Lukaku was our waste but he turned into quite the sought after player.

I just hope Conte can bring the best in him that the price tag would start to look silly in few years.
