Lukaku is going to score loads of goals and do well, Morata is a very good player but hes never been a proven goalscorer in the way that Lukaku is and they offer completely styles of play anyway

What will the chels do now? Try to hang on to Costa? They were willing to match the 75+15m bid for Lukaku so they must be pretty desperate.

I would have preferred Morata, but I do agree with the consensus that it's better to go with someone who already has a proven record in the PL.

It's going to be very strange to see him in another club's kit, and to no longer think of him as a United player after 13 years here. So this is a bit bittersweet. But most of all I just feel relief that he's finally going after 3 poo poo years. *exhales deeply* :fyadride:

Chelsea do seem to be flailing about this summer, but I don't know if you can put all the blame on them in a deal also involving Bill Kenwright and Mino Raiola.

The owner of RB Leipzig is really rich, motivated to invest in the club, and said he would reject any bid for Keita. So probably not.

Not official on either club's web site yet, but apparently Luis Muriel to Sevilla is done for 20m, plus Sampdoria gets 20% of any future transfer fees if Sevilla sell him.

Between Amavi and Traore, Villa really selling on energetic attacking wing play.

Last year he got done in Italy for driving without a license for a year, but that seems to have been brushed away somehow.

Until the very next signing by MU/Chelsea/City. I feel like a full half of the ridiculousness of these prices is to prevent other teams from signing players. The other half is made up of actually needing a guy in that position and :homebrew:

The base is 75mil+15mil in add ons, potentially reaching 90mil if every condition is met. Pogba wasn't 250mil, he was 89mil.
