£75M is actually also good considering £100M was being thrown around!
Mental this, Chelsea will be happy
Get in, buzzing.
75mio 
Absolutely loving this idea. He's amazing.
He would have been my choice at the start of summer but I was convinced he was off to Chelsea. I had come around to Morata and thought he could bring us something different. So I'm confused now. I wanted Lukaku but had been pleased with getting Morata in.
Is this really happening out of the blue?
Boooom!!!
Delighted.
Delighted.
Club has briefed that interest has ended in Morata, that ship has sailed.
I really like Morata too.
Amazing how quickly this has happened!!
Very happy with the news. Proven PL goalscorer, strong, quick & can finish. Young enough that he can improve as well.

Totally agree.
Hmm.
Not sure how I feel about this. I'd kind of pinned my hopes on Morata. Lukaku is a great player though.

Pleased with this!
Morata to Chelsea then?
Happy with Lukaku, but I think I'd prefer Morata. Not quite the powerhouse Lukaku is, but his overall technique looks a lot better.
Would be nice to stick two fingers up at Chelsea and get both of them

Great business.
When does NYSE open?
This is awesome. Predict he will be a great #9.
This also guarantees boring football for the next 5-7 years.
I can't get my head around how overrated this player is.
Please say this ends the chances of Matic. Please please please.
Fecking ecstatic about this.
Simon Stones saying we used Chelsea's publicised interest in him as a smoke-screen and he was always our No. 1 target.

Not unhappy about this at all.
fecking awesome if true! Much better (more guaranteed) option that Morata imo.
Who else thinks that Morata might go Chelsea's way now ?

I really hope it's not instead of Morata.
I take back everything I've said about him. He's world class. Bargain.
Meh would have much preferred Morata right now and think that Morata also has a lot more upside.
But at the end of the day I trust the manager and said through the Perisic shit that we got to trust him to know what his system needs, guess he knows best on this as well.
And people say our deals don't happen quickly. That happened last Frickin fast.
I always think this point gets brushed off too easily. He's settled in the country already, clearly is desperate to play for a bigger club, and has already shown he can score goals against the teams we'll play week in, week out. One of the reasons I'd jump at the chance to sign Harry Kane if the opportunity ever arose.
Penny for Chelsea's thoughts 
woohoo!
Dislike the oaf but fully behind him now so get in!
There was a rumour that Lukaku was the preferred player Mourinho wanted but everyone felt he was going back to Chelsea so think we moved onto Morata. With the Morata deal being a struggle for whatever reason (likely Real's side) and Lukaku move to Chelsea seemingly stalling, there was an opening for us to swoop in and get him so wouldn't be surprised if this is true.
+ Proven PL goalscorer.
+ Real can't (hopefully) buy Mbappe now, because feck Real.
+ Chelsea getting screwed over, hopefully disCONTEnt will grow.
+ Getting rid of Rooney.
+ Good, tidy, clean business by Ed. Shows we mean business and can go in for any player at any time.
+/- The fee, some think it's good some think it's too much. Pretty neutral.
- Not that great first touch, may be somewhat limited in hold-up play.

feels more like an own goal mate
I have to say the JJ said that Lukaku was Jose's main target on FTD before the start of the transfer window.
He wasnt really the guy I wanted but now its happened (touch wood) Im absolutely delighted. I think its the manner of the signing as much as the signing itself, I think Woodward has handled this one really well.
Also, if Lukaku was always the target, have we used Madrid and Morata as a smokescreen? I hope they thought they were getting 80M from us and were plotting using that for Mbappe.
According to Ducker they were making negotiations difficult because they still want De Gea. This is probably the best outcome for us.
Mad props to @EverReddy he called this on Monday.
wasnt pogba on holidays with him?
