Keane was the smokescreen for Lindelof. Now it seems like Morata was the smokescreen for Lukaku.
Which two players are hiding behind the Perisic and Matic links?

Who are the players behind the Perisic and Matic smokescreens?
- Thread starter VanGaalEra
- Start date
Neymar and Redondo
Dembele and Radja
Ruben Baraja and Vicente
Parisic and Matic
Well it'd defeat the point of smokescreens if we know who they are.
It's Woodward smoking shisha
Sanchez and Weigl
I don't think any players are a smoke screen for one another, Jose had his list Keane/Lindelof/Van Dijk Belotti/Lukaku/Morata
I suspect Lukaku was always first choice and his name came up during negotiations for Rooney and when we found out Chelsea hadn't sealed the deal we stepped up and have dropped Morata as a result
I hope its Sanchez 
and fabinho
and fabinhoMoyes and Kuyt, the sexy duo
Keane was not a smokescreen. We had everything agreed and ready to go but we got Lindelof signed before we had to confirm it.
ThisI hope its Sanchez
Reports all through the summer have been about us negotiating with multiple players with no one besides Jose and Ed really knowing the priority order. It's not even a case of a smokescreen as its not as if we aren't interested at all in these players, just that we're working on multiple targets for the same requirement at the same time rather than going one by one.
It's fecking football, not Walter Mitty
Jordan Henderson and Adam Lallana.
Well that corresponds to one of the player being a smoke screen, or we can use the arguments that we were never in for the player when we failed at one.
that would be perfect.I hope its Sanchez
It's not a smokescreen because we'd buy the #2 choice if the deal for #1 choice doesn't go well. It'd be a smokescreen if we weren't interested at all.
Christ now every player we get linked to but don't sign is going to be called a smoke screen.
Matic was a smokescreen for Perisic and Perisic was a smokescreen for Matic
It's alot of smoke out there
How do we know they're smoke screens?
Caf will explode.
If anything it seems like Everton were the only club to deal with us in a professional and private matter during negotiations.
Finally!
Ronaldo and Fabinho...
Garay and Giggs
Good old smoke screens are back
Perišić is for real, sorry guys.
Batman and Robin
Oh this is fun. Dembele and Fabinho
But the better question is if we piss all over Chelseas toes and get Lukaku then who are we getting instead of Matic as they are unlikely to be in the mood to give us a reasonable price? Fabinho or Weigl

Willian and Nianngolan
Gaitan and sneijder
Matic - hopefully Fabinho or maybe weigl
Perisic - Dembele
Infact muppet in me says just offer £120 million to Dortmund for Dembele and Weigl.

Cherno Samba and Mark Kerr
It's the mother of all smokescreens: 'Griezmann'
Neymar and Fabinho.
