I'm not sure how Falcao really improves their strongest XI, really, since scoring a shit load of goals hasn't been their problem. The difference he can make will be ensuring that there isn't a drop in quality if Aguero gets another lengthy injury. Or they can just rest Aguero for less important matches and still have one of, if not the best striker in the world slot right in. I think this is their power play to win the CL more than anything.

Falcao, Aguero, Dzeko, and Jovetic. Absolutely fucking ridiculous. Wouldn't exactly be happy as one of the latter two. Both Dzeko and Jovetic have been very good lately and now will see their minutes reduced greatly. Aguero and Falcao partnership...

Falcao is actually going to City, is net he?

Like someone said on the last page, maybe Schürrle will take the #9 to match his national team number. That, or maybe next season when Drogba's contract ends and we buy a new striker that player will take it.

I've watched almost every game he's played for United and because of the huge Mexican fan base here in the States I've seen many of his games for the national team. Don't tell me I haven't seen him play. I don't ignorantly evaluate a player without watching for more than a handful of matches like you did with Cavani.He's a pure poacher. Nothing more, nothing less. He's very good at being in precisely the right spot at the right time and scores almost exclusively tap-ins. He's shit outside of the box, shit running with the ball, and can't really create anything for himself. He's almost completely reliant on players around him to be effective. Which is why he was so effective in that United side where he had world class players around him and why he'll be good for Real Madrid (as would just about ANY striker) because he'll have the worlds best players providing for him.

He's shit.No telling you that, obviously, since he's your national icon.

Yep, like I said he'll probably score about 20 tap-ins since CR7 and Bale take so many shots from long distance.

That may seriously be the strangest transfer I've ever seen if it happens.Bottom to midtable PL caliber player moving to the biggest club on earth. He'll probably score loads there, too, just because he'll feed off of the scraps and deflections of all of the world class players. From targeting Falcao to getting Chicharito. That's a quality gap like the gulf between Torres and Costa. Only bad thing that could come out of this is that City may indeed get Falcao.

Imagine using the two striker system like José says he wants to do at certain times with the movement of both Costa and Remy. Nightmare for defenders!

Our yellow kit looks infinitely better than Arsenal's here. This thing is shocking. Made even worse by the fact that they're the disgusting, skin tight Puma's.

Sort of shocked that this hasn't been announced yet.

My goodness Spurs are shit. This one match is a microcosm of Liverpool's season last year. Soft penalty, TERRIBLE opposition defending, and teams just bending over and letting them fuck them.

This is either typical Wenger choking in the transfer window or Arse trying to deny any deals in order to shock and surprise their fans by making them think no one is coming and then announcing it at the last minute.

How bad would it look of Arse beat us to a signing? I think if it did happen it would piss José, the board, and even Roman off so much that they'd go out and buy some big name player.

He'd be nailed on first choice there and would start immediately. I really, REALLY hope we have alternatives just in case he chooses them.

As delighted as I am with the result and the fact that we have a clinical side to our game that we didn't have last season, our defense is a major, MAJOR concern. It seems like we've regressed considerably from last season.

That's what happens when you're content with your lead and allow the opponent to attack you. Hazard almost completely invisible. I don't understand how it's not an instruction from the manager to give him the ball as often as possible. The few times he actually did get on the ball it was at walking pace. We're going to concede again if we just sit back and let them stroke it around like we did there.

Apparently José didn't sound so convincing in his interview just now about Costa's fitness. Hopefully not another CL final situation with him.

This is going to be a tough fucking match.

LOOOOOL! Stonewall pen there. Foy actually did something great!

What the hell has happened to RvP? He looks a shadow of the player that singlehandedly won them the league. Mata has been really poor for them too.

Couldn't even iron his shirt?

Imagine morale and moods are high with Di Maria there now, so I would be be surprised if this is an annihilation. I'd laugh myself into cramps if United drop points or lose this one.

Just makes no sense for them to even be thinking about him. Your expensive signing last year Jovetic is finally setting in and scoring goals. Dzeko has been outstanding over the past year or so and was unhappy being a sub as it was. And then they have the best striker in the league in Aguero. Even if they got rid of Negredo that's more than enough.

Just what they need, eh? Fucking ridiculous.
