Transfer Tweets - Summer 2017 | Keep it on topic

I really don't think this is nailed on.

All we've had so far is a press briefing from Utd that we've had an offer accepted.

Everton have denied it.

Lukaku may not want to come or order Chelsea.

There's every chance this is just Ed trying to pressure Madrid into reducing the fee for Morata.

Nah, too much smoke for there not to be a fire. With BBC and Sky both saying it without any ifs or buts, he's ours. Just a matter of days.

The speed of which this has moved today has been frightening. Definitely something happening as the reports are very conclusive it's not like the Mbappe "preparing a bid" nonsense.

Want this wrapped up.
 
Do feel for Morata. I know that people think otherwise, but united are one of the biggest clubs ever and the chance to be the main number 9 for a number of years is a big chance for any player. Maybe he could have done more to get the move going and the price dropped - hopefully a lesson learned for Perisic !!

I don't think anyone has an issue with Morata himself. It's his fecking obnoxious employers getting theirs. He's an unfortunate casualty of their arrogance and petty dealings. He was all for the move as far as we're aware so there's no reason to be hard on him. It is a shame for him and he must be pissed, but it's Madrid's problem now.
 
If we are indeed going for Lukaku over Morata, we had better be in for a more dynamic winger than Perisic.
I can see Perisic and Lukaku being so monotonous
 
Di Marzio has confirmed on twitter that Lukkaku will join United. Could someone post that ? I know not how to embed.
 
translation;
New attacker wanted. Antonio Conte probe the market to find the right center for Chelsea. Seriously shaken Lukaku, moving to Manchester United, Blues now evaluate two names: Alvaro Morata and Andrea Belotti. They are Chelsea's goals for the attack.
 
Chelsea are going to be absolutely desperate for a striker soon. Morata makes sense but can they afford the money Madrid were asking from us
 
All this puts RM in a great position, Chelsea will have to splash atleast what we were quoted for Morata.

Really slim pickings for strikers out there.

Chelsea have showed a great lack in negotiations the previous 3 summers that I doubt they'll be able to negotiate with Madrid over a price. Madrid will ask for 90m or Hazard at least. Fact is Chelsea is hesitant about paying large sums of money and they aren't how they used to be some years ago hence Lukaku deal failed miserably for them.

Hope its not morata but belotti.
 
If Lemar can stay wide and not cut inside like he favours then we should be all over that.

Great price for a talent of his level.

FWIW only 3 wide players in Europe's top 5 leagues created more chances from crosses than Lemar last season.

You couldn't really call him a winger though, more of a wide playmaker.
 
But... but he's better than Rashford so why are they selling him and why is he moving to Leicester??
Maybe because they can afford it, with Agüero as their striker in the bench. Wish we could.

If they don't stump the cash for either Belotti or Morata, I imagine the chance of Conte walking is quite high.
 
Tough shit really. He could have done more to force the move. If he/agent had of went to Perez and said I really want United, then I'm sure better progress could have been made. He missed the boat and United can't sit still waiting while Lukaku is available.
The problem is, apparently, Lukaku was first choice, so there was always going to come a moment where the Morata negotiations would stall till we were sure we had no chance to buy the Belgian.
 
There would be redcafe suicides if we signed a Monaco player who isnt called Fabinho

Don't really care about that. I would've preferred both Lemar and Bernardo Silva to Fabinho, since I think other players can do what Fabinho can do in the right set-up by Jose.

He hold some responsibility for telling Costa to leave before securing a striker tbh and put the club in a hard situation in next negotiations. I think may very well be the start of break down between Roman and Conte.
