With Morata all be done, it got me thinking about this summer. Looking at it in perspective now I think the fans should be over the moon. There was a number of concerns/moans last season. The main ones being:
1. Conte not being backed and the club making "their own" signings
2. Conte leaving
3. Matic
4. Cahill
5. Moses
If you look at the summer we've had all these gave been addressed:
1. Rudiger, Bakayoko and Morata are all players Conte specifically wanted and 2 he has wanted from last summer.
2. Conte has signed an improved contract, fair enough it's not an extension but at least he is being given what he feels hes worth now.
3. Matic looks to be on his way out and replaced with a guy who has big potential, someone who generally dominated some very good players in last season's champions league and can only get better under conte for me. Plus he's a conte signing
4.Cahill must be on his way out to the first team, yes keep him as club captain but use him like we did JT last season. Again rudiger is someone conte likes, he's a German international and a player ideal for a back 3. Add to that Christensen, another player the fans have been crying out to bring back to the club.
5. Moses is still here but with our move for Danilo, it's obviously something we're looking at and expect someone to come in.
What's not to be happy about ?
Are we happy now ?

Everything seems very much back on track, especially with Conte committing for another two years when the media kept saying he was ready to walk this summer.
Morata is a top class player and I'm sure there will be another one or two signings before the window shuts in a month or so. Onwards and upwards

soccerlol why do you write your own screen name at the end of each post? It's at the top there's no need to do it. Very narcissistic.
I thought Chelsea were going to struggle to replace Costa but bringing Morata in at that fee is class Great work from the club there.
Cover for both full back areas and it's an incredible squad

Also forget to mention that the large majority of us didn't want lukaku and we haven't got him

It's not been perfect (we still need WB's) but historically considering our usual attitude after winning the title this summer has been very positive so far. Had three long term targets, got two at decent fees by comparison to the rest of the market and had a contingency for the one that got away.
Maybe it's the pressure/realization of jumping into Europe next season, but this is much better from the club. A few years ago we'd have blanked Bakayoko & Morata in favor of foolishly forcing Chalobah & Abraham into the squad, good to see the days of resting on our laurels appear to be through.

Soccar, your spending to much time listening to Mons(mtc)
We are two players short of a full squad, Wing backs are our next target , but we do have cover in those positions so there is no reason to worry.
Next we will have at least four very capable youth players in next seasons squad.
Christiansen, Kennedy, Musunda and Boga ,
We require two more players for the 17 man allocation and we could put two more H/G players in but not imperative .
Finally if you think this market that the club have / are dealing with is easy, ima ffraid your a little out of touch tbh.

LWB should be prioritised ahead of RWB.

Sandro/Mendy/Telles and a RWB. Sandro on his own would make it a good window
