xPetrCechx 13,571 Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 Chelsea who have moved into pole position over Arsenal by finding a €6.5m per year, 5-year agreement with Morata. (TMW) #CFC #RMCF #Juventus Chelsea would have also carried out a first official and very compelling offer: €60m on the plate to sign Morata.

Jype 6,398 Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 Wouldn't mind signing him. Works well with a two striker formation, which is what I'm thinking Conte will go for. Some could say he doesn't score enough goals but he always steps up for the big occasions and that's exactly the kind of player we should be after instead of the Romelu Lukakus of this world who bully the little ones and then go missing when it matters most. Also wouldn't rule out him making that final breakthrough by becoming a more and more consistent goalscorer within the next year or two, if he does that he'll be unstoppable but even now he's a really good player. €60M is still too much but maybe without CL football and no quality alternatives available we might not have a choice if we want to sign a top striker.

BlueLyon 9,359 Posted June 21, 2016 Share Posted June 21, 2016 Juve confirmed Morata is going back to Real, after they triggered the clause. Question is will he stay there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melanicus 5,208 Posted June 21, 2016 Share Posted June 21, 2016 And... he goes to Real. Hope it's just a stop gap and they sell him to us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This comment implies that you have knowledge that in fact you do not. None of us has any idea what clauses have, or have not, been included in previous contracts. Your comment also implies that you think the addition of such clauses is entirely at the discretion of the selling club. If you think that then you are wrong, if you don't think that then why post such a comment? Why are so many people determined to guess what they think CFC is doing and then blame the club for it irrespective of the fact that the guess is very probably wrong? For example, many posters lambaste the club for being cheap in its transfer dealings last summer, yet we are now told, seemingly reliably, that an offer of €90m plus + 2 players was made to Juventus for Paul Poba. Whatever that is, it ain't cheap. Never mind the facts people, just pour out your bias. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jase 43,479 Posted June 21, 2016 Share Posted June 21, 2016 Real Madrid have activated his buy back clause... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChelseaFanUK 1,014 Posted June 21, 2016 Share Posted June 21, 2016 Is he officially a Madrid player from today then, or does it not go through until July 1st? I'm guessing it is the former. If we want him, hopefully we make some moves soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pizy 18,914 Posted June 21, 2016 Share Posted June 21, 2016 Welp. Didn't he originally leave Real Madrid by his own request because he was unhappy on the bench? Now he goes back to Real Madrid to....ride the bench behind Benzema. Strange. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The buy-back from RM is just a technicality. Fiorentino Perez has no use for him, because he's waiting to splash the cash and get Lewandowski next summer. That's the way I see it.

If Arsenal miss out on Vardy like it looks like they will Morata would be perfect in their side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure that's the conclusion I'd come to. Seems just as likely he could stay as he's linking up with the rest of the first team squad for pre season. He sticks a fee more goals away here and they could be happy to keep him. It's certainly his first choice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petre.ispirescu 4,928 Posted June 21, 2016 Share Posted June 21, 2016 Real Madrid will not let him leave for less than €75m according to todays news in Spain. That's £58m. A good player? Yes. Worth that much? No way if you ask me. Madness if any club gets near that amount. He's probably a £30m player at max. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like him a lot but you are right, €75m is out of the question. If the numbers we are reading are correct, then it seems selling clubs have taken a look at the new TV deal and lost all sense of reality with their demands for transfer fees. There is only one way to deal with this effectively, just don't pay. If that means walking away from the player then so be it. Premier League clubs as a whole need to take a stand or they will continue to shovel huge proportions of their cash into the pockets of continental clubs. I'm tempted to call those clubs greedy, but they are entitled to ask whatever they want for their players. If English sides are dumb enough to pay those fees then more fool them. Having said that however... I'd be quite surprised if Real have not received acceptable offers for the player and the whole deal, including the resale, has not already been put in place.
