We were offering 70 m euros ourselves€80m+ for a bench player who is 25 and scored less than 50 goals in his career...

Griezmann next summer, and besides let lukaku play ucl first then decide .Lukaku is the better premier league option but champions league
I think this is what really happened.Perez could have panicked as it was the last chance to get money for him this summer.
Denied the player his preferred move
Depends on the style of play, I think Lukaku will suit our style especially if we get Perisic. Morata will also suit Chelseas style in my opinion. As long as he is up to the toughness of the Premier league. I see no reason to believe that he will not be. BUt I hope he gets a big shock.I honestly have no idea who made the better deal. Could go both ways.
We are struggling to sign Perisic and Morata, who were desperate to leave their respective clubs.Griezmann next summer, and besides let lukaku play ucl first then decide .
There are risks with signing either player.Lukaku is the better option, since there are no risks with him. He will score loads of goals. With Morata we can't be quite sure.
Are you talking about Morata? He is 24 and has scored 103 in 271 games for club (plus 9 in 20 for Spain).€80m+ for a bench player who is 25 and scored less than 50 goals in his career...
It will take a bit of adjusting for the lad, but it will for Romelu that teams will defend for their lives against Manchester United. He won't find it as easy as for Everton. There is not the prestige in stopping Everton, United is a different matter.Depends on the style of play, I think Lukaku will suit our style especially if we get Perisic.

Also both could be a hit.Depends on the style of play, I think Lukaku will suit our style especially if we get Perisic. Morata will also suit Chelseas style in my opinion.

same could be said about Morata for the EPLGriezmann next summer, and besides let lukaku play ucl first then decide .
If you don't count his goals in division 2 and 3, it's 58 goals in 188 games.Are you talking about Morata? He is 24 and has scored 103 in 271 games for club (plus 9 in 20 for Spain).
And it's also not €80m so he's sorta just wrong all around.Are you talking about Morata? He is 24 and has scored 103 in 271 games for club (plus 9 in 20 for Spain).
If you don't count goals scored on sundays or tuesdays it probably even fewer.If you don't count his goals in division 2 and 3, it's 58 goals in 188 games.
Is this the new "can he get the job done on a cold Wednesday night in Stoke?"How's his first touch?
Maybe you are right. I never said Morata is a bad player, I wanted him to sign for us but his goalscoring record is not great at top level. Last season was an exception but it can be because of a) he is finally matured as a goalscorer or b) his teammates made him look better than he is as it's always easier to play when you have Ronaldo, Modric, Bale etc. playing in your team. Well, we will find out very soonIf you don't count goals scored on sundays or tuesdays it probably even fewer.
Since when did we start counting B team goals?If you don't count goals scored on sundays or tuesdays it probably even fewer.
Exactly. Funny how Matt Law also reported the fee is 75 Million and then after some time said "exclusive, it's only 58 million".No way is Perez petty enough to lose 20m on a player in the space of 2 weeks. This stinks of Chelsea leaking info again to make a deal look better. Similar to how they tried to portray Lukaku joining us only because of agent fees.
I think a lot of posters on this forum think these massive company's are like teenage Twitter users. I have a hard time believing they're so petty as to leak stuff like this or spite another club by accepting a lower fee.No way is Perez petty enough to lose 20m on a player in the space of 2 weeks.

How's his first touch on a cold rainy Tuesday night in Stoke?Is this the new "can he get the job done on a cold Wednesday night in Stoke?"
It would make more sense than the other metric.Is this the new "can he get the job done on a cold Wednesday night in Stoke?"
When looking at players overall goals scored, I've never thought to exclude goals scored in lower divisions.Since when did we start counting B team goals?
Every part.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.
To say, as a supposed United fan that moving to Chelsea is a better move than moving to United is what is ridiculous about it. United is always the better move.Here means yes, a Utd fan.
Will he be first choice? Yes.
Do we have a world class talent in the team? No.
Would I prefer to work under Conte or Mourinho? Conte.
Struggling to see what's ridiculous about that.
That's the right questionHow's his first touch on a cold rainy Tuesday night in Stoke?
There's more chance of Mourinho bringing in Rafa Benitez as joint manager and Wenger as director of football.Think both managers will be happy that they got their number 1 choices. The fans of both clubs should just make their peace with that and not spend the whole season sniping.
No Rooney went on a free so we didnt have to pay his wagesWasn't Rooney part of the deal, too?
This. It's absolutely ridiculous.I think a lot of posters on this forum think these massive company's are like teenage Twitter users. I have a hard time believing they're so petty as to leak stuff like this or spite another club by accepting a lower fee.
plus feck the transfer fees. It's a useless stick to beat rival fans with. We should all be happy with what the club achieved (trophies, top 4 finishes, good fighting spirit on the pitch, player skills etc) and not how much they paid the agent, the selling club, the player or the tea lady.Think both managers will be happy that they got their number 1 choices. The fans of both clubs should just make their peace with that and not spend the whole season sniping.
You lot are obsessed with transfer fees. Fecking hell roll on the new season.
I genuinely couldn't less about transfer fees but I just can't believe Perez would be petty enough to turn down that amount from us and then go ahead and sell him to Chelsea at 20m cheaper. He likes making money on his fees and he'd have milked them for all he could.Exactly. Funny how Matt Law also reported the fee is 75 Million and then after some time said "exclusive, it's only 58 million".
Did they?Think both managers will be happy that they got their number 1 choices. The fans of both clubs should just make their peace with that and not spend the whole season sniping.
You think your club or a massive company would never lie or spout BS for a good PR?I think a lot of posters on this forum think these massive company's are like teenage Twitter users. I have a hard time believing they're so petty as to leak stuff like this or spite another club by accepting a lower fee.
Sadly true.There's more chance of Mourinho bringing in Rafa Benitez as joint manager and Wenger as director of football.
Agreed.plus feck the transfer fees. It's a useless stick to beat rival fans with. We should all be happy with what the club achieved (trophies, top 4 finishes, good fighting spirit on the pitch, player skills etc) and not how much they paid the agent, the selling club, the player or the tea lady.
Looks that way, yes.Did they?
