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

Not really a great comparison, Sanchez was actually an important part of Barcelona's squad for a couple of seasons, and became superfluous only after the signing of Suarez.

 

Morata on the other hand has never been a first team player in his life. Sorry for ruining the mood and being "a prick", but I find it difficult to get excited to see the club break its transfer record for a benchwarmer.

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. 

Played for the Italian champions season before last, played for the Spanish Champions last year now signed to the Neglosh champions for the coming season.

You can say what you like but he has consistently performed for the best teams in two out of the top 5 leagues in Europe. Everything suggests he'll be capable of doing just the same in the EPL.

That was really great, i love him already what a nice guy welcome to Chelsea

Can't really call him waste when they play with Benzema as well as Ronaldo and Bale, difficult to get a real sniff in all honesty. His goal return is good for someone who has played a cameo role week in and week out.

To be honest, he always played better when coming on as a sub compared to when he started the game from the beginning. Afraid that this will happen for us too...hopefully he can step his game up or we are in for a nightmare next season.

Finally...Striker position is sorted for the future..It would be a joy to watch Chelsea side with a good technical player who can link up with others...Morata as ST will make us play beautiful football

I expect a lot from Bakayoko because he was one of our targets from the beginning and he was also very good in Monaco of course.
Morata will replace Costa -let's hope- so effectively we have made one transfer in total (ok, plus Rudiger the defender from Roma).
We need one more.

Great transfer! Well done 

[chelseawise 115]

All we need now is Sanchez from Arsenal and that will complete our transfers. Not too concerned about not getting any full backs, quite happy with Mosses and Alonso with Azpilicueta as back up

Why is Vardy not heard of anyplace ?

No he hasn't, he struggled in Serie A with Juve. Didn't lock up a starting role with them, most memorable for a few good games in the CL on the back of Tevez. 

You can say whatever you want, the fact is we paid a club record fee for a benchwarmer. No way around that.

We need 2 fullbacks. Azpi is a CB. Rotation wise he can be back up to both. Also, if one of our full backs gets injured, replacing then with Azpi would weaken us in 2 positions instead of one. 

[Clockwork 1,794]

With all that said, i think he is most suited to play alongside another striker. I really doubt he will play up top alone.

We need RWB and maybe even LWB more than we need attacking midfielder  you don't say no to Alexis Sanchez but I would sleep tight even if we "only" manage to improve both our wingback positions  

Hazard, Willian, Pedro, Musonda, Baker, Boga ... more than enough quality, talent and depth IMO
