More likely to negotiate that price down with Torino. Plus it would enable us to tell Real to well and truly do one if they ask for De Gea.
Álvaro Morata | Chelsea player

I think we'll end up signing him. Probably not for 78 though. Buying him makes more sense than Belotti.
Di Marzio confirmed it.
Bring back Scholes! Scholes in a midfield three with Pogba and Herrera would dominate every team on the planet. We don't need a work horse, we need a game changer!
I'm not sure about Morata.. He's never really scored many goals. Having said that, who else is there? We need someone.. At half the price of Lukaku......maybe... I'm not convinced.
78 mil quids for him? Nah thanks, feck off Madrid you immense cnuts.
As if those are our only 2 options....
Not sure how he is worth 78M. Even worse Belotti being valued at 87M. Might as well bring back Chicharito for cheap, shut up shop and play a Rashford and Martial rotation at striker with him. The market is too inflated.
I'd rather we didn't deal with them.
They are....
It isnt going to get cheaper by waiting for next year
Thanks Jose
Can you see any other choices in the market ?
Fergie was right, there's no value in the market
Greazy is cheaper than Moratta....Woody is probably now regretting publicising that he is not a priority!
Every player is on the market thats a silly comment. Whether the club want to meet their clubs valuation is the only question.
Helping them either buy our GK, Mbappe, or both. Yuck..
Don't want us to deal with them at all. The player doesn't even want to leave. That worked out real well last time....

I don't think I've ever properly seen him play. For some reason I have he impression he's slow. Is this wrong?
Yeah every player, should we move for Crouch then ?
We're probably going to end up paying the roof for whichever striker we sign on the basis there aren't many available and the world and his wife know full well we desperately need one.
This.
I rate Morata but £50 million is a more than fair value for him. Madrid bought him back from Juve for something like half that.
Feck em!
Fake Sport News. This is just fake news.
Yeah, he's very mobile for a big striker.
Really hope we pull this one off. His all around play is so much better than Lukaku's and Bellotti's, he's made to play for a big team. Unfortunately after the Griezmann saga and Lukaku openly lulling Chelsea teams know we're desperate for a striker in a market that's in a striker draught so we will have to splash big this window on one. Hopefully we get them down to 65 max and get him, we're the richest club in the world and we need to spend like it whilst we're in this state on the pitch.
Obviously, with an asking price like that they will never get De Gea for less than 100 mil, silver linings and all that. We broke the market and it's not only us who are facing the consequences. Makes City's deal for Silva look like a steal now, no wonder they wanted it wrapped up before everyone else started spending.
add another 30 and test the waters for Alli or Kane
80m for Alli would be more nuts....
Pun intended?
Andre Silva from Porto.
Madrid giving us the FM treatment, quoting absurd prices. I wonder if we'll offer them 52 million over 48 months and arrange a friendly as part of the deal next.
I don't want another young man as an experiment in the attack. We should continue with Rashford then.
Wouldn't be surprised if Real are asking silly money. They don't need to sell and would then need a replacement striker themselves. If we've deemed him a suitable alternative to the likes of Lukaku then we should expect the fee to be similarly high.
" 70 million down the drain as Alvaro Morata scores again !!"
I wonder if Madrid are quoting that price in a way to lower the De Gea fee. We should ask for £100m+ for De Gea then.
It actually wouldn't, he has a nice marketable name plus he's the future of English football, he's arguably already England's best player, he's got his best years ahead of him, etc etc the list goes on
Far more upsides to spending a near world record fee on a Dele Alli than some Spanish benchwarmer who's had 1 truly good season and that being in the the Italian league
Why has Morata got a reputation for being even close to good enough? In his 2 seasons at Juve he scored 7 and 8 goals. I'd much rather give all the game time to Rashford or Martial ahead of him.
I knew that Morata would cost 70-80. 60 and 10-15 bonuses may work.
So 78m for a "good player" but never the less a bench warmer for Madrid huh and we are really talking about selling De Gea for 60m, a Keeper that is maybe for now only behind Neuer as the best around, well F*ck that,
We can't get short changed here, slap at least an 80m minimum price tag on him

£60 mil max.
If Morata valued at £78 mil, what do they value a world class goalkeeper De Gea at? £150 mil?

52m for their back up striker and they reject it wanting 90? Are they having a laugh 
let's just give Monaco 150m for mbappe and tell Madrid to go f themselves.
Funnily enough under lvg we would have sold him for 12m to stoke or something

25% sell on fee and another £20m after he scores 50 goals for Spain, they should do the trick.
