Let's not all start getting negative over this Batshuayi signing before it happens the last player we signed at a similar age from Marseille turned out to be world class and if Conte's happy with it so am I. We have to trust the boss. Di Marzio is saying he was third choice target behind Morata and Lukaku originally but they were difficult so we made a decision. Still unsure what's happening with Costa if we're playing two up top Batshuayi may work out well being more of an athlete next to him he's also very good with both feet. If we're going to play a 3-4-1-2 formation I really hope Hazard will be played in the number ten. Watching him the other night for Hungary was one of the next individual performances I've ever seen from a player. But all in all let's just stay positive.

Are we even signing him I thought it was palace and west ham who were bidding for him.
{Ed018's Note - it sure looks like he will be joining Chelsea}

But does conte want him? Seems a very much snatch and grab deal to me! Bit desperate maybe. It all looked like he was heading elsewhere and we done a Willian to a point so that leaves the question was conte informed or we just giving him players he doesn't want.

What do you make of him as a player Ed? Personally I think he's got enormous talent and if Conte cuts out the negative sides to his game from I've seen is that he can be a bit selfish we might have a player on our hands.
{Ed018's Note - I've seen very little of him so I don't really know}

Fans on here make me laugh. Moaning we lack ambition when we don't sign anyone then moaning when it looks like we might sign someone.
The price of all players at the moment is ridiculous. Let's support whoever we sign and hope they're good signings. Just because it's not a well known name doesn't mean it's a bad signing.
I rate morata but I don't understand why people are obsessed with him. He didn't always start for juve last season.
