Alvaro Morata - Conte's Choice

Since the move is all but done, we may as well have an official thread. Fee is initially ~60m pounds, probably rising to 70-75m.

Welcome Alvaro!

Reportedly taking the Bi-Polar No.9 shirt.

Let's hope he's more of a Hassellbaink and less of a Falcao, or Sidwell Laughing

I'm willing to give him a chance, however not super excited.

Hopefully he can surprise me.

Proper backup for Batshuyai.

Bats is at the least showing he is able to compete with Morata.

Will be interesting to see how they compare over the next few games.

Looking good so far, once he synchronises with his teammates and Hazard returns, we'll have done the best possible job at replacing Costa, imo.

He's a far superior header of the ball, too. Thumbs up
