There's clearly a problem with us and Madrid. If we thought they were stringing us along and could theoretically have £#%&!ed us royally at the end of it, then yes it's wholly conceivable that, when Lukaku became a possibility, we threw ourselves into that instead. Mourimho probably didn't lose much sleep over jobbing Chelsea's plans either.
Now Madrid were left with one team who were desperate enough to pay 65/70m for a back up forward so they didn't £#%&! around.
Maybe we should offer them Lukaku for Morata plus 15m.
Madness.
