Predictably done extremely well. Four top young strikers in the league in Morata, Jesus, Lukaku and Kane.

Well anyone can do that on a Saturday in Stoke. Those midweek fixtures at the Britannia though, eh? Not impressed!

Heard the commentator say that was his 17 goal in 19 games for club and country. If true, that's a ridiculous record. One of the criticisms of Morata was that he wasn't a proven goal scorer, he's certainly proven that wrong so far

That 2nd goal reminded me of Torres at his peak

Not one bit surprise at his goal scoring ability but it's in the big or tight games where he has to.improve, the same criticsm that lukaku also has. I feel both are solid solid strikers and unlike most chelsea fans who just bad mouth.lukaku, most of the united fans do respect morata

Kind of amusing to read the first page or two of this thread again.

Looking the better buy out of the two strikers so far in my opinion.

It was a good goal but Stoke barely challenged it. No one tried to get a tackle in or anything. I think in the end Fletcher just gave up

Yeah he definitely looks better than that fella Asnl brought

Great striker and an upgrade on Costa I reckon.
I wish we'd have been greedy fecks and still chased him after we got Lukaku.

Just watched it - Morata actually duped Fletcher with a small feint, then used his superior pace. After this the only thing Fletcher could have done with a tackle is foul him and get himself a red card.

Perhaps Fletcher could have done better, but that still was a clever play by Morata.

It was a good goal. I just feel Stoke could have defended it better

Sigh, last attempt. Morata was rumoured to be 80m when we were discussing the price, the price he went for eventually was different which anyone with a shed of a brain could tell.

So the argument was if there is a better striker available for a similar price I. E. 80m. Something you refused was possible.

80m is similar to 75m which we got lukaku for, I quoted the exact price as you pointed out(falsely again) that we were quoted 73m for morata. My comment was that no one else would buy him for 80m which proved to be true, he was also not the first choice for either us or Chelsea.

I am glad you have remembered the unicorn comment now.
'My argument that morata has only one good season and paying 60m+ for someone of his profile is overpaying significantly?'

- :lol: thats a direct quote mate, you can put that '80mil' back up your arse where you pulled it from.

The fee at the time 'unicorn' was first used was £61mil, not 80mil, £61mil.

And then you go on to say 'I really dont get what you are trying to say here, a fee similar to bailly or sane or jesus would be appropriate for me.' :lol:

I haven't said I didn't say unicorn. As I've just pointed out to you, you were using it completely out of context to illustrate a point that's a complete lie as evidenced above.

Honestly, who puts up a link to the thread without actually looking at it? And then continue to make up shit that can be proven to be wrong in that very thread? Are you drunk?

Both those claims are total bollocks.

Just go to facebook or twitter and most fans are just labelling , he is better than "donkey lukaku".
You could goto Facebook and Twitter, search for Messi and there'll be people calling him shit. Facebook and Twitter is where you go to see what morons think about things.

I don't know any Chelsea fans who have slagged Lukaku, let alone "most Chelsea fans" as you said.

Because he got a hattrick against a Stoke side suffering a defensive crisis? Before today all his goals were from headers so am not sure how you can make this claim.

It was obvious both were going to do well.

80m came from Google, you can use it too not hard.

And yes, I stand by that. The fee paid for players has been inflated this year and everyone is saying the same. I see 60m+ has been reduced to 61m. No agenda there at all.
Where did I say that? You're welcome to quote me, or carry on spouting bullshit - your choice. But I see my rating of him has been completely misplaced - that hattrick today must have been 'luck' right? Nah it was a leprechaun.

Another lie, no idea why you bother since it takes like two second to go back and quote.

Google all you want mate. Have a look at the thread - you know, that thread you were all too eager to relive - and everyone was using the same figures, including you. The pie in the sky figures were briefly mentioned and then deemed bullshit by one and all. Infact, Glaston was the only one using them and his posts were deleted by a mod. READ THE THREAD!

How have you decided that 61 is a reduction from 60+? Are you drunk? Literally every post around yours were using low 60s as the potential price.

Then quote the lie, like I just did. It's amazing that despite providing irrevocable proof of your bullshit you keep spouting it.

Good choice. I would suggest you do the same. Despite actually quoting your posts you still argue you said something different. It must be embarrassing to have someone use the very thread you quoted so smugly to out the constant bullshit youve vomited over the last few hours. Run along now.

I thought the Premier League was supposed to be a much harder league to score in than La Liga and Cristiano and Messi would struggle to hit their insane numbers there?
