Exactly.Unfortunately neither have we, so we shouldn't bragging too much.

You may be right though I think Morata will get bags of assists with setting up Pedro and Willian so Lukaku outscoring does not bother me too much. Just hope we strengthen in a few other positions too.I hate to say it but Lukaku is going to outscore him and I would have definitely preferred United signing Morata. I just can't shake the feeling that Lukaku is going to score 30+ in the league whilst the Spaniard finds it tougher. For the money Madrid are asking I want a guaranteed match winnner and out of the two of them I'd go with Lukaku. So this leaves Chelsea with Morata and Batshuyai as their main forwards if Costa goes, not too scared of that.
We'll certainly be signing a third forward. No way would Conte or the club risk being down to only one striker if Morata or Bats get injured.I hate to say it but Lukaku is going to outscore him and I would have definitely preferred United signing Morata.

Already happenedJust ready for the cringey Lukaku v Morata thread which is bound to happen through the season
Remy?We'll certainly be signing a third forward. No way would Conte or the club risk being down to only one striker if Morata or Bats get injured.
Which part? He will be first choice, he will be playing next to a world class player in Hazard, and referring to Conte as the best PL manager while arguable, is hardly a stretch.You say "here" so I'll assume you're a United fan I suppose, but that post is ridiculous.
oh feckin hell.Already happened
I just saw that thread nowLukaku is my kind of striker, big lump bulldozer type. Will score goals for anyone, as will Morata. Technically Morata is better, by some way imo, but its about sticking the ball in the net for them both, and both are capable.
Absolutely no way either set of fans can ridicule the others fee, both wayyyyyy overpriced

Exactly. Jury is still very much out on him and the price is very steep. I actually prefer it that we paid £75m for Lukaku instead as I believe he has a higher ceiling and higher floor as a forward.It's Morata people, not Ronaldo we lost out on. We will be fine. And you got to give it to Madrid. Selling their second choice striker for that kind of money is great business.
Maybe a certain Tammy Abraham would have been worth keeping for this season as an understudy. Saw him for Bristol City and he is ready for this league.We'll certainly be signing a third forward. No way would Conte or the club risk being down to only one striker if Morata or Bats get injured.
Quotes are saying 80-85m Euros which is roughly 75m GBPWhat is the agreed fee? I bet it's €20m less than what we would have had to pay lol
ShedEnd said:Italian striker, happy days.
I know that sounds a little crazy, but I think the physicality and pace of the league will be a bit of a shock; and he's just never been prolific. Add to that the big fee and so much responsibility on his shoulders. I have my doubts about how he'll do first season. If we'd put all our eggs in this basket, I'd have been worried; even if he is technically excellent.10? lol I will take that bet
Fair enough. Same price but very different players. However, Chelsea's stronger so Morata might have an advantage in the beginningI honestly have no idea who made the better deal. Could go both ways.
Much better for him to stay out on loan and play every week. No use sitting him on our bench.Maybe a certain Tammy Abraham would have been worth keeping for this season as an understudy. Saw him for Bristol City and he is ready for this league.
I disagree about the higher floor. Lukaku doesn't contribute consistently in the other aspects of his game, so if he's not scoring goals it can be like playing with 10 men (at his worst). Morata isn't as prolific and likely will never be, but can provide for his teammates. Higher ceiling and better bang for their buck, I agree goes to United.Exactly. Jury is still very much out on him and the price is very steep. I actually prefer it that we paid £75m for Lukaku instead as I believe he has a higher ceiling and higher floor as a forward.
ObviouslyDont know about this first and second choice stuff, but i do know that Conte is the manager Morata wanted to play for. Straight from the horses mouth
Here means yes, a Utd fan.You say "here" so I'll assume you're a United fan I suppose, but that post is ridiculous.
I'm not gonna get involved in the other stuff, but Morata made it known he loves Conte a couple of months ago.Obviously
Beating the Lukaku to Chelsea drum all week and how you preferred Lukaku as he scores goals, now that Morata is signing for Chelsea you came up with this shit.
At least be subtle and try to hide.
Lost out on? We could have had him if we were prepared to bend over for Madrid.It's Morata people, not Ronaldo we lost out on. We will be fine. And you got to give it to Madrid. Selling their second choice striker for that kind of money is great business.
Also saying they believe him to be worth a good £20-£30m more than Lukaku.... just an opinion but he does look a better all round player.
Dry your eyesA bit upset about this.
They wanted rid of James, that's why.£70m plus for Morata yet Bayern a top tier club also get James on a loan and people wonder why English clubs can't do good business.
Will he play? Morata's replacing Costa, not sure how this has opened the door for Batshuayi.Solid signing.
Hazard-Batshuayi-Morata is a delicious prospective combo.
I know he said nice worlds about Conte few months back, my point was specific to poster and how he turns everything in favor of Chelsea and shit on ManUtd.I'm not gonna get involved in the other stuff, but Morata made it known he loves Conte a couple of months ago.
We would have to produce a player Real would want first. I don't think they will be sniffing around us for a while yet.Two things i have got out of this transfer, first is i hope we never sell a player to real madrid every again and secondly as much as i like Morata i hope he flops at chelsea
good share as that really does put things into perspective...the fees now are just crazy, much more so for English clubs. But £70m+ for someone who averages 1 goal every 3 games is disgustingTweet

Pedro-Morata-Hazard sounds even better.Solid signing.

This only adds to my conspiracy theory that Real will get something in return from Chelsea at some point.Tweet
