Marca claim the reason Alvaro Morata didn't celebrate his goals this year is because he wanted to vindicate himself after Gianfranco Zola questioned his behaviour and performances.

Morata wanted to respond with a gesture showing how he feels.

{Ed0333's Note - or he didn’t celebrate because he didn’t score that much

06 Jan 2019 21:51:48
A lot of what Zola said was true and complimentary.

The other thing is it’s Marca.!

07 Jan 2019 11:33:52
I think Morata sulks more than my 3 year old. He a player that needs cuddling.

07 Jan 2019 11:40:14
Oh poor old hard dumb by Morata. Grow some balls man, start putting a shift in, fighting for the shirt, fighting for the ball, stop moaning and concentrate on putting the ball in the net. Simple. Let the Goals do the talking not your moody celebrations. But to be honest even Stevie Wonder could see that’s zola was telling the truth.

07 Jan 2019 12:40:34
It's been so long since he scored that he's forgotten how to celebrate a goal!

06 Jan 2019 18:43:30
You know what apart from West Brom away a few years ago under Mourinho I don't think I've ever seen Courtois save another penalty or am I wrong? 🤔

It's great seeing him struggle the grass isn't always greener the other side.

king kante the guy wantdd to go home to be with his kids man u can't knock him or hate him for wanting that he earns my respect for leaving to go home to his kids at all costs.

06 Jan 2019 19:16:02
sad to hear u say your happy to see a man struggling he was a good servant to us and won 2 pl titles don't forget that.

Football fans can be very tribal and very unforgiving.

06 Jan 2019 20:29:20
lol why should we respect him. He’s a snake we knees he wanted to leave he didn’t have to go AWOL and disrespect the club or the fans. We got rid of Cech for him, got rid of the goalkeeping coach for him and he still wasn’t happy. Good riddance I say I love Kepa already.

06 Jan 2019 20:34:11
i agree tom but its not like he left for money . i no he took advantage of his contract situation an held cfc to ransom but he was just doimg what he needed to do to be with his kids same as i would for my little daughter.

06 Jan 2019 21:24:47
Kante, stop being a fan and try to remember these players are human beings.

If it was as reported, a family issue, ’I would be disappointed if a member of my family didn’t put his kids first.

I know I would.

07 Jan 2019 07:19:58
Why don't we just move on. We've got Kepa now, he's got a higher potential ceiling, got a decent fee for Courtois. He wasn't at fault for either goal yesterday to be fair, made a few crucial saves to keep Madrid in it as well.

07 Jan 2019 08:27:59
The only thing that gives me the hump about players who leave our magnificent club is if they slag us off when they join their new club.

It cheeses me off no end years ago when Hudson and Hollins did it when they joined Arsenal.

07 Jan 2019 12:46:26
Hudson to Arsenal? The thing I can't forgive Courtois for is his comments last summer saying that Hazard should join him in Madrid - also, he already had his children when he returned to Chelsea from Atletico; why didn't he refuse to come back then?

07 Jan 2019 15:40:23
Yes MDW Hudson went to Arsenal.

If I remember correctly he left us for Stoke and then went to Arsenal shortly after.

He said something about Arsenal FC being class and us being rubbish.

To be honest, I don’t remember Courtois saying anything detrimental about our club but I stand to be corrected.

As far as asking Hazard to join him at RM, my guess is, every player in the world would like Hazard TLT join them at their respective club.

06 Jan 2019 12:46:10
Leonardo Paredes is a player I would like us to sign. From what I have seen of, though little, he's very talented and will improve us and effectively replace Fabregas.

06 Jan 2019 13:06:29
Never heard of him myself, is he much of an improvment if Ampadu? Let’s not forget Fabregas has barely featured so I don’t think it’s worth spending big on someone with Ampadu already at the bridge.

06 Jan 2019 13:45:06
ampadu its a great kid definetly should replace fabregas as back up.

Not really regarding Chelsea here, but a question for my fellow blues brothers:
Henry's Monaco really struggling for leaders at the minute and are doing awful this season. Fabregas will be a big signing for them, he should get space to hit balls into Falcao.

my question is, should henry look to the premier league for more players. people like Gary Cahill who have won it all. Monaco is a very appealing place would he like to go there for a year or 2 or 3 at the tail end of his career? i would.

There's plenty of experienced players in the premier league. Should snap up easily if they did want to go. Fabregas an Cahill are 2 that come to mind. Add them 2 into Monaco i bet they'd be a completely different side cause they'd have 3 leaders in Cahill, Fabregas and Falcao.

06 Jan 2019 14:21:36
I would agree. Monaco have some real talented youth players but after last summer transfer window, majority of their very good players left.

Adding some experience would definitely help with helping the young players and also getting some points on the board.

06 Jan 2019 07:02:56
£50m for an over 30’s player. Never going to happen in signing Cavani.

06 Jan 2019 09:43:38
A bit of common sense was needed from the newspaper journalist. Impossible that Chelsea spend anything close to 50million on Cavani.

06 Jan 2019 11:14:06
Common sense and Journalism very rarely go together in my opinion Shak.

06 Jan 2019 12:09:48
I would take Cavani for 50m everyday. He would bring goals which could mean we make top 4 (which probably will cover 50m fee just by playing in it)

06 Jan 2019 05:40:02
Good luck Garry Cahill and thanks for everything.

Always gave 100% a true professional. Who will ever forget his performance in Munich.

You won it all Garry.

Gary Cahill.
