    Yeah but word was he was going to have his decision before he boarded for France. Got a bad feeling he returns to Leicester.

    He hasn't decided yet either way. The only thing confirmed is that Arsenal have met the release clause. Decision expected on Monday.

    True, thought he'd have more options than Arsenal though

    He was offered to United as well but they passed to sign Zlatan. The clause only applies if the team has CL football. Arsenal the only real viable option.

    Didn't know that, makes sense. He's already won the league so Arsenals a smart choice, good wages, a team that makes loads of chances and Giroud as his main competiton

    Not sure if their possession football would suit him tbh. But yes it's a decent deal for both parties.

    I don't like to follow the transfer window cuz everyone is a reporter and 9 times out of 10, none of these rumours happen. However, I would be pleasantly surprised if we get Morata considering Real Madrid has a buy back clause in his contract (I could be wrong). This would definitely mean Costa is leaving if this happens, which I would be very sad about. Lukaku is still a question mark to me. He wants to start and regardless of who we do and don't have if he comes back, I still don't know if he is elite level striker.

    Real Madrid are preparing to activate clause and sell for profit.

    These 3 outlets are very accurate and we are definitely interested in the player.

    That's why I was surprised he would consider this move if it's true. It would only have to be because he wants a new challenge in England and Chelsea is an attraction.

    To be fair, they still have Europa. And they do have some momentum coming off last season

    We were champions just last year. We are based in London. Just one bad season. We are still competitive for transfers.

    He would probaly want regular games too. Definitely wouldn't get that at Madrid.

    Seems like it's us or PSG atm.
