Who is Dave Levnne ? 

No idea.

I reckon this deal has a lot to do with Conte signing his new contract. 

Torres was worth the goal against Barcelona 

And the one in the final against benfica :)

Obligatory Youtube highlights vid:

 

This guy is so much different than Costa.  Much more technical and can open up play from various positions.  He's got all the attributes to be a very successful striker. 

Happy days for the club hopefully locking up our manager and striker for years to come

I hope we boycott everton. No more negotiations with them after the stones and lukaku saga.

You mean the sagas where we didn't offer them market value for their best players and expected them to roll over and give in?

GET IN!

Suddenly it's beginning to feel like a good transfer window. Did we just play Man United into signing Lukaku?

Lukaku is a mule morata is a much more complete player

She's all go now!

Arent we all a bit glad that our board ended up choosing to spent the money on Moratta instead of Lukaku ?  Not that i am extremely anti Lukaku but it seems like we have a promising striker who our manager wanted and who has a higher ceiling that Lukaku and will better fit our system. If only Costa becomes a Mr NiceGuy and we can have both of them playing in tandem. 

I disagree, Lukaku has a higher ceiling. Morata is far better right now though.

I have a sneaky feeling we will sign Barkley, if Everton play ball

I do as well. It will take a bit of time with his injury but he seems on his way out

more comedy gold

How so?

I haven't seen enough of him to form an opinion but apparently Conte likes him and wanted him, signed him back at Juve (but never coached him) and was interested in getting him last summer, so hopefully that move pleases Antonio.

Judging by the Youtube videos Morata looks like a complete striker, great technique, good speed, movement, tall and athletic. His stats are quite impressive, when it comes goals to minutes ratio he's quite a threat. I hope Conte instills confidence in him and we could see him blossom, because he's clearly a top talent.

Reminds me of when Arsenal fans thought they were getting Mata 

£60m is a relitevely good deal, plus it means that clown is no longer our record transfer.

Bit much calling Torres a clown.

he didn't live up to the fee but he did always represent us well.

Matt Law saying on his Twitter account that initial fee is only £58m...that's pretty good in today's bloated prices...

Just like I said I knew Chelsea was playing Real Madrid perfectly £58M!!! http://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2017/07/19/alvaro-morata-verge-completing-chelsea-move/

I thought his attitude towards us was appaling personally, im still to this day angry at the he didn't care about results comments, imagine if Benitez came out now and said he felt the same while he was under our employment?
