Morata? Played like 2 games out wide. Mostly he played as a striker, free role.

Free role where he'd drift out wide looking for the ball.
So he's not a goalscorer then?
Like all strikers, he moves across the entire attacking 3rd of the pitch.
I think he will be once he's given the role. I wanted him here over Lukaku because he's technically far superior.
What we are interested in is putting the ball in the back of the net. I vote Lukaku.
I think a lot of people agree that he is technically superior to Lukaku but Lukaku has shown himself to be the better goal scorer for now.
Come on fellas, there's an actual Lukaku v Morata thread for that debate!
If this had been Jose, he would have been labelled all sorts of names. I've never seen him skin any player like that before. Only his physios at Chelsea got a reaction that was not even close to what Pep demonstrated here.
It was obvious that Lukaku was Chelsea's first choice. Balague really dislikes United, doesn't he? Bitter cnut.
I think he was the boards choice, I really do. Let's bring someone back that Jose bombed out. I think Conte will be happier with Morata he will suit them better.
Of course this is true considering Balague is renowned for being a truthful and honest source with no hidden agendas......
More to the point why isnt Ballbag on the banned list?
Chelsea and Liverpool could go head-to-head for Werder Bremen striker Max Kruse this summer, according to Bild.
Bild report the Premier League pair are keen on Kruse, 29, who scored 15 times in 23 league games last term.
He is on around £42,000-a-week, and has a contract until June 2019.

Arent they broke and barely avoided relegation last season?
No way they can affford him.
Getting any money for Kolarov would be a bonus, but would point to adding another CB (and hopefully one who could cover LB if needed too).
On loan, surely?
Article on kicker says they want him on loan but United have said no. So a nothing story then.
Conte concerned lukaku would score too many goals
How come this transfer window has suddenly become an "open season on Martial" window?
I'm sure that Jose has done his homework properly as he always has done in the past.
Maybe we should question Ed ?!
Because of last season. He didn't play a lot, when he did play he was disappointing, the manager criticised him in public and his agent was sounding off about a loan move.
Add all of that together and it's not surprising that clubs may believe that he is available.
Bloody rugby and they didn't even win the series.
De Bruyne money?
That was almost two seasons ago, wasnt it? Might not be much of it left.
Chicharito to West Ham done - source kicker.de
Hope he doesn't start the league against us
Got good money for Draxler also but it still doesn't mean we are going to sell him
If this had been Jose, he would have been labelled all sorts of names. I've never seen him skin any player like that before. Only his physios at Chelsea got a reaction that was not even close to what Pep demonstrated here.
I don't think that's even close to how he reacted to the Doctor on the bench at Bayern.
Real Madrid selling him cheaper to Chelsea is a stategic tatic from Perez
It makes Chelsea's chance of winning the PL stronger
The more Chelsea win the league and if we dont the less income the club takes in
We lose our richest club in the world tag that Perez wants
Chelsea are no threat to them on that score until they move to a new ground and have higher income
I just cant understand how we missed out on signing such a talented player like Draxler for peanuts in winter few months ago, now players half of his ability is being sold for numbers higher than his price.
.Conspiracy theories are hilarious. Morata would not add much than what Costa already did.

I don't like where this window is headed to.
We've replaced our goalscorer with a promising player, who has been scoring good amount of goals throughout his last few seasons in the PL, which in this market seemed hard to pull off.
We've added cover to our sound defence, which must have been the easiest task.
However, we haven't added a player who could break down tight defences, whether that's with a killer cross or beating players with skill/dribbling. Nor we have signed defensive cover in the midfield to free up our arguably most creative midfielder of defensive duties.
If we end up with only these two signings (which honestly I doubt) our only reliance is that Mikhi, Martial, Rashford, Mata and Lingard will step up their game and double up on their goals & assists tallies.
Playing Pereira in the holding role throughout the tour may suggest Jose wants to drill him and sharpen his defensive and distribution contribution and opt for a trio of Pogba, Pereira and Herrera (whenever we use a 3 midfield formation), with the latter being the most defensive of the three, since he is sound with such responsibilities.
My guess is, we may not see a new signing until the tour is over and our next artificial deadline could be the team's arrival back at Manchester.
Not sure how much emphasis Mourinho puts on the Perisic signing, but to me we are crying for a top quality winger. I hope it gets sorted out on time for the start of the season.

I still think we'll sign two players.
Our main targets at the start of the window like griezman and fabinho are made to stay at their respective clubs so we have been unlucky in that sense.
But with the perisic deal it's just the case of inter wanting to use him as a cash asset who are struggling to buy players, not because perisic is that much important to their season.
