The Skipper

Exactly my point. He was so overrated. He never had it all physically (he's as fast as Mertesacker, acceleration is very, very poor), technically he isn't all that (very average), can barely dribble past his man. He was made out to be this complete striker but he was nothing more than a poor man's Ruud Van Nistelrooij. The only thing I'll rate him for is his clinical finishing. Apart from that he's not that good at all. He had his opportunities at Milan and Real but screwed it massively.

I know. I don't rate Huntelaar at all but he's a massive improvement on Sanogo.

Huntelaar rumours picking up steam though...Huntelaar Walcott - Ozil - Sanchez Ramsey - Kondogbia Not a bad front 6 at all. Their back 5 is still average though (except for Kosc IMO).

Rumours Arsenal could get Kondogbia... Massive signing if true. A proper DM.

Same predicament as you...

How much is Falcao on at Monaco where he pays no tax? £200-250k? If you add tax to that it'll go up to £300k+. It's not that unbelievable.

Herrera's not even a DM. He's a CM/CAM like Cesc. They've got massive holes in their squad. It's awful.

They could be - considering the fact that in Monaco he doesn't pay any taxes they might have to cover that.

That team will just not work. Rooney and RVP out wide? Awful.

What... The... Fuck.

Good luck Nat, hopefully he kills it.

Yeah... Till 11pm today.

You're right but if they signed him they would've spent around £200m and that's a lot of money. Top that with the huge amount of wages that they pay and it's easy to see why they might be worrying - especially if they're trying to bring in more signings.

CL/European participation is based on your FFP from the year before I believe... I'm not too sure how valid those quotes are though tbh.

This is what Falcao's agent said apparently:

This signing is so bad. So, so bad. Dude is 29 already and is going to cost £50m next season when he's 30. What an awful signing.

He was awful. God knows how he secured a move to Real as well.

Costa and Fabregas aren't even on 200k a week pal...

I can see him having quite some game time... I mean if Morata managed some last year, Hernandez definitely will. Hernandez is very good off the bench as well.

Ah yeah, just looked quickly through twitter, quite a few reporting a loan deal. Btw, Goal (the movie) fans:

Is Hernandez definitely gone or? I thought it was just rumours? PS: They don't because Ronaldo and Bale could be the 3rd striker easily.

United should be worried about buying a world class CB, not bloody Falcao... So bizarre.

Bizarre. Still think he's off to Madrid tbh.

Please do more of these Alex, hilarious stuff

What is wrong with City? Can see Dzeko and/or Jovetic leaving in January or something if they bring in Falcao and he manages to regain his old form...
