Can Morata do it on a Tuesday night at Stokes? That is the most important question.

But got to get their house in order to hit ground running oh lol.. seen in the past with Ancelotti's 2nd season & 15/16 season on how board dropped the ball.
As for the Morata deal. That came out of nowhere. Like serious smooth operation because all eyes were on CFC maybe chasing PEA. If the fee is around the rumored 60MP, the more impressive job by Marina & co.. I am sure add ons based on milestones might take the total compensation higher.
As for Morata, honestly have not watched him closely. Stats does not paint him well but at 24, CFC getting a player wey never even enter his prime.. now that is a huge positive.
You no see how CFC rush on Twitter to break the news with all joy!! Just want flex..

Morata was literally the only 'big name' forward left for Chelsea to move on. Lukaku had moved, Lacazette had moved, and PEA was no longer an option because Dortmund's deadline was closed. That left Morata and Bellotti as the realistic options.
I'm curious about how he'll do in England. His physicality has never been a main trait. Add in the fact that he can disappear against vigorous defending and it could be tough for him. I think Chelsea fans will do well to keep the expectations at a minimum for his first season. Give him a year of adjustment so his talent gets the chance to ripen and adjust to the PL and then watch him bloom in the 2nd year. The English league and press can be vicious and if he doesn't come out with guns blazing AND sustain it, they might crucify the kid.
One thing for sure, you will lose a major thing that Chelsea forwards have had in recent years...the intimidation factor that Drogba and later Diego Costa brought is not Morata's style. On the plus side, he has a nose for goal and can be slippery like a Pippo Inzaghi.
Patience and minimum expectations is the key.

Re: BRIDGENEWS: CHELSEA 2017/2018 SEASON NEWS AND RUMOURS!
@Plati,
Will disagree small. Do you really think that if CFC presented BVB with 70MP offer for PEA, they will not sell? Deadline talk na all negotiation tactics.
PEA just down the pecking order for CFC. He is 28 but Morata 24. The big issue is that CFC had a rumoured budget of about 70-75M for a striker and were not ready to blow that..
Rumor is that the Morata deal is for around 60MP.
How he will perform in EPL will be the challenge. If he does his job well while scoring 20-25 goals total, it will be a good season. Costa was never top scoring EPL striker. What will be vital is Morata's all round play.. hope he continues the scoring against Arsenal tradition of DD & Costa
Yep, that Costa/DD intimidation factor will be lost..
And please, do not make me laugh with Lacazatte :-p
Also think Morata purchase will help CFC in negotiation with Athletico for Costa sale. Have to get close to 40M for thw guy..

Re: BRIDGENEWS: CHELSEA 2017/2018 SEASON NEWS AND RUMOURS!
I believe Morata will do extremely well for us. He's an intelligent and skillfull forward. I think EPL is about to witness an offense from CFC that they have not been used to; a mix of more guile and technical skills than the physical game we have offered this decade.analyzer wrote:@Plati,

About Costa, I heard a rumor where the CEO of Atletico said they won't be making any offer for Costa in the time being. I say keep Costa on the bench till his head clears considering the upcoming World Cup and he may be able to do some damage for us in some games

Michael Zorc has been pretty consistent at Dortmund with his various stances on issues. When he's given deadlines, he's stuck to them. They gave all comers the chance to sign PEA (chelsea, PSG, etc) and no one came with an acceptable offer. Zorc said it had to be done before a certain time IF it was going to happen because he wanted the new coach to have some stability. Nothing happened, window shut. This is a guy who parted with Tuchel (one of the hot young coaches in Europe) because of his 'principles'. Some clubs talk the talk, others walk the walk. I'm guessing the only thing that would have made BVB budge from that stance would have been a shocking world record bid and that'd be madness (*as you've surmised, chelsea has a budget that wasnt going to be exceeded).
What's funny about Lacazette? He was one of the forwards in demand this summer.
Chelsea's not in a strong position with the Costa deal. Everyone knows where he is going, everyone knows he MUST leave, one bidder means you cannot extract maximum value for the player.

Re: BRIDGENEWS: CHELSEA 2017/2018 SEASON NEWS AND RUMOURS!
Plat..
money talk, BS walks. Fact or rather rumor is that no team made an offer for PEA as BVB's demand were unrealistic. BVB boss is posturing. AC Milan is all that is left.
PSG that already have Cavani & rumoured to be eyeing Neynar with a 200M+ bid. Why will they be very serious about PEA for rumored price.
Laughing at Lacazatte because he was not an option for CFC. Doubt he was top 3 on list. Was always Lukaku, Morata, Belotti with PEA an after thought.
CFC have some leverage now they have secured a main target. yes Costa must leave but CFC are no longer desperate to sell IMO. Getting a new CF was not contingent on Costa leaving first. Costa sale was arguably not needed to finance Morata deal.
Athletic trying to low ball cfc & rightly so. But CFC can stand their ground for a more respectable fee.
