Good lord no.
I didn't watch much of Chelsea, but I'm pretty sure Costa was a better at being a target man/hold up play. Probably at least as good at finishing too.Chelsea had Diego Costa last season and They won the league. He was no better than Lukaku and older.
What comments?No, I don't think Morata really wants to be in England anyway. He would rather back in Spain, or more specifically, Madrid, judging by his recent comments.
Thank goodness for that ignore thread feature.
Lukaku dreams of having a game as good as the one Costa pulled out away at the Etihad.I didn't watch much of Chelsea, but I'm pretty sure Costa was a better at being a target man/hold up play. Probably at least as good at finishing too.
Lukaku had a really good game against City away with Everton when they drew 1-1 in 2016. Also scored against them in the 4-0 win for Everton last JanuaryLukaku dreams of having a game as good as the one Costa pulled out away at the Etihad.
He said something a few days ago about being happy in London but wouldn't rule out going back to Madrid. Might have just been a throwaway comment, but I've heard a few times that some Real Madrid players made their displeasure known at Morata being sold - I think Ronaldo was one of them. Sounds like he didn't really want to leave but maybe ZZ told me he wasn't going to play much so he went to Chelsea.What comments?
Tbf alonso is better.yeah, let's swap Shaw with Alonso and Matic with Bakayoko while we're at it
Which means nothing if he doesn't score goals. Morata might be a better all round player, Lukaku is the definitely the better striker.Nah.
I like Morata's movement and technical skills though.
Morata being the better 'all round player' is nonsense. The only thing he has shown a high level at is scoring free headers...so his movement is good. That's about it.Which means nothing if he doesn't score goals. Morata might be a better all round player, Lukaku is the definitely the better striker.
A couple of years ago the Caf said he was a one season wonder so you can't have him.Can I just take Kane instead?
Lukaku was United's first choice.First of all i know this probably would never happen, but just after a deal involving 2 of England's biggest clubs and 2 great players (Sanchez and Mkhitaryan) in a straight swap deal, if Chelsea proposed a similar deal in the summer for a straight swap Morata for Lukaku would you take it? Would Mourinho take it?
I think it's fair to say Morata hasn't settled well at Chelsea, only showed glimpses of his talent, but was Jose Mourihno's first choice striker in the summer. Similar story with Lukaku, was Chelsea's first choice target and whilst his goal ratio is good this season he's had his critics.
So yeah Morata for Lukaku straight swap would you take it?
So you would take Chelsea’s striker, pool’s, Tottenham’s and Arsenal’s ahead of ours? The grass truly is greener. Formino? Really. Well well. And Morata.In terms of aptitude, yes - there's more to football than prisoner of the moment opinions and scored more goals arguments without considering the broader context - cue green smileys. I'd also take Firmino without a second thought given the nature of our other forwards; apart from Kane (obvious), Agüero (regardless of injuries and age), Aubameyang (again pure aptitude). Some of it doesn't matter, though - because someone like say Firmino is not a Mourinho style center forward even though he would be a phenomenal fit with Alexis and Martial, so the swap would be pointless. Plus, we already have an elite center forward talent at the club in Martial - who needs to play through the middle and be nurtured, especially given the recent addition of Sánchez.
