Either Carroll or Crouch signing for Chelsea would be a move out of complete desperation by Conte. Chelsea have been unable to replace Costa's physicality and if they thought Morata was the answer to that then they were blind in the first place. Morata will score goals but he will not hassle a defence in the same way Costa did, and this alone left space for Hazard and others to exploit. Morata doesn't do that and is more in the mould of Torres who had Drogba alongside him to do a lot of the dirty work. Neither of the guys mentioned are good enough for a top 6 team and as you say there has to be someone in Chelsea's enourmous academy who could provide a stop gap better than spending millions on a guy who has never reached his supposed potential nor a guy who is right at the end of his career.
