Lukaku will be unstoppable and whatever he wants to be in years to come if he can learn how to unleash his inner Roy Keane every time he pulls on his boots.
But Chelsea have the edge, in terms of the business they have done for Morata, particularly if you take into account the fact he has cost them £8m less.
I know some may say: “But Stan, Lukaku has scored goals regularly in the Premier League, while Morata hasn’t played in every game for Real Madrid. So how can you say he’ll be better under pressure in the white-hot, English top flight?”
It’s a decent point, but Morata has played for Real and Spain – and that comes with more pressure than playing for West Brom, Everton and Belgium.
So, Morata is a very good signing and the addition of him, Antonio Rudiger and Tiemoue Bakayoko means Chelsea have done some good business this summer. I have to say that I’m actually finding my KYLE WALKER’S claim that Spurs don’t have the edge to win trophies after joining Manchester City was a bit rich.
A bit like Alexis Sanchez saying he wants to play for a club in the Champions League.
Perhaps Walker (below) could have done more to help Spurs win silverware and maybe the same is true of Sanchez in getting Arsenal into the top four.
When I was a player, one of the things I always tried to do was leave clubs in a better position than they were in when I arrived.
I left Nottingham Forest third in the Premier League, having qualified for European football. When I joined them, they had just been relegated to the Championship. That meant I could leave them and go: “Job done.” And, while some may think I could have stayed longer, I left them stronger.
Have Walker and Sanchez done all in their powers to get Spurs and Arsenal to where they feel they should be?
