Easy to say now I know, but I always wanted Morata way ahead of Lukaku. I know Lukaku is premiership proven, but he was a big fish in a small pond then.

Very happy with this one. Would have been my first choice of those 'available'.

Can't wait to see him in a Chelsea shirt when his medical is finished next month

love the banter, but it seems like this one will be different.  Conte signs new contract, Morata deal agreed about 24 hours later.  Seems like he wants this done quickly now.

It's a done deal folks 

Does this mean we have or will break the Torres Transfer Fee ?

You got your man, now are you going to remove that ridiculous avatar please?

I wanted Lakaku =(... Joking freaking happy! Now we need Moses and Alonso's back ups or replacements and I would say it was a good window!

I think its a safe bet that we will with this transfer.

Oh but hang on, i thought we were not going to spend more than £35-£40 million on anyone ?

Have we printed the shirts yet 

Here's an interesting recent article on Morata and his statistics...

I have heard it's an outrageous fee number.  Higher than Lukaku

Pardon me for popping some Blue Balloons, this isn't signed, sealed or delivered....Remember the headlines for Lukaku!!

True... better hide in case Manure gazump us...

Don't get me wrong i so want this to happen, as i did Auba or Aguerro, but Morata is some talent, and will probably get DCs world cup spot, oh the irony for Conte...

I wouldn't know, I be someone around this forum would give a better answer. I just think that MOses and Alonso's was a one season wonder. Hope they prove me wrong...

Last time we broke our transfer record it was for a good looking spanish striker. It will go better this time around [emoji28]

He's a winner. He'll want to continue winning.  Hard worker and wants/deserves to be a starter.  Let's go.

Reading this forum you'll get the feeling that all good players really are "one season wonders". Player development does exist, especially with game time, you know.

 Fair play to you, called this ages ago

Costa to Morata biggest downgrade since... 

 congratulations you got lucky not to get Lukaku . Fantastic player and one additional reason to sympathise for Chelsea  (except vs Juve of course ) I think Alvaro will do very well.

He looks good in blue!
