The implementation is happened to be like that. But don't think we sign Eto'o for first option back then. It is personal agreement between him and Jose, we don't know about.

The big difference this Falcao move with Torres move back there, is that this one is loan move, and we're fully understand the risk since the beginning. This is gamble for both party with the minimum risk for both sides. If he flop he then could leave in January or next summer. If he is regaining his form, he will has his confidence back as a top striker and we will benefit from it.

Chicarito, Benteke, Dzeko and even Austin. I don't think anyone of them ready to be 3rd choice. The reason why Jose sign Eto'o and then Drogba because they're fully understand they will be 3rd choice, with limited minutes to play. Yet with a little bit of 'luck', they could have more minutes than they should have.

Sigh, Platini have got no balls.

If we're assuming UEFA not taking part. The vacant place will have to be filled and that means more quota for Asia, South America, etc.

So, all European nations will not participates in WC? That will makes Copa America Ver. 2

Yup, a lot of 'if' there. He will be realizing that Costa have a long term injury problem. If there is only Remy as a competitor in several games, he might thinking it is worth it to take, just like Drogba this season. Another thing he is willing to play in England once more and CL. Only us and Arsenal. He doesn't have much choice, does he?

At first I'm against signing Falcao, but if he is ready as 3rd, lower his wage demand, and Jose want him, I wouldn't mind him. My feeling Jose will sign another experienced striker as 3rd, because Costa might be not fit all the season. With Zlatan impossible, Falcao is not bad option imo.

Costa, Falcao... all we need left are Lorenzo Lamas and Antonio Banderas, then we completed all the gangsters

Lol, what's with the negativity in here. Falcao rumour at the moment is not far from happening. He is looking for a new club, no other clubs seems interested in him, and he want PL football.

From Eto'o, Torres, Ba last year, to Costa, Remy, Falcao this year. Now that is a big difference.

Cuadrado must be happy to hear that. Deadly Colombian duo.

Better now than at pre season, no? Surgery now and then 2 full months of recovery.

Costa injury strike again. It will be not convincing at all with only Remy and a young striker as a backup, if Costa injured for a long time. I bet we will sign another experienced striker as 3rd. If Jose choose Falcao, then so be it.

Oh dear... It's clear now that he still have that problem. Better now than later imo. Time for surgery if necessary.

20 goals in 26 games in PL, with stupid ban and injury. If he is fit and ban-free, I could see he will easily get 25-30 goals.

Meanwhile.... Marseille interested to bring Drogba back

I'm curious why we couldn't extend his contract and then loan him to another club as an option? he could play regularly every year and then back until he is ready as our 2nd GK. Would be win-win for all party. If family become the reason, then so be it loan to other English club, but not a permanent one as someday he will deserved to retire at Chelsea.

Come to think of it, I wouldn't mind him, if he is ready as a 3rd choice striker and Jose prefer him than other options out there.

With Fabregas, Matic, Ramires and RLC, don't think we will sign another MC. Better spent the additional money for a winger.

Yes, we need to preparing for the worst, always. But no need to sell Costa of course. Just buy another experienced 3rd striker will do. Bamford is close but I think he need one more year loan, this time to PL club.

Apparently he will stay at Real
