Someone sends a pass of more than 10 yards into him and the ball bounces off of his feet like a brick wall. If he actually does manage to control it, he takes 2 strides and on the third touch he knocks it to the opposition. He single handedly destroys almost every break we go on in some matches.
Why do I get the feeling that Torres will be back next season? Judging by his quotes from today's presser it seems he really wants to continue stealing a living here for the remainder of his contract.
I understand why people are hesitant about another huge name, super hyped striker, but this guy is on the ascendency unlike Torres who was damaged goods when we bought him. Just can't see him flopping with the players we have around him. With them having a season to gel behind them and with a great manager, Falcao will be a machine. At least if he were to not live up to the price we wouldn't be completely fucked for a season or two like with Torres since we have Ba and Lukaku.
Doubt he'd be half the price now. Proving once more that he can score at will AND with Gotze sold, that'll prob jack his price up more since Dortmund will be desperate to keep him.
I'd be on my way to London with a very high caliber weapon to murder each of our board members if they sell Courtois and de Bruyne. Just pay the fucking money straight up for Falcao and let Courtois stay for a year longer on loan. That, or Torres +£25m. Courtois is a priceless asset for the future. Cannot be sold under any circumstances.
And we're nothing like we were years ago. We've lost what made us a force.We need to MASSIVELY improve and invest in order to close this enormous and quite frankly embarrassing gap between us and United and City.
Good points.I'm already in summer muppet mode, though. We need to: Sell - Torres, Malouda, Yossi, and Ferrera Buy - Falcao, Fellaini, and Schurrle And then we'll be contending for the title.
Why on god's green earth would PSG need Cavani? If FFP is such a joke that PSG and Bayern can literally spend at will, why aren't we doing what they are?
Several reliable journo's on twitter including the one who I first saw tweet about this deal says that Lewandowski is on his way there too with an agreement in place already. Bayern are gonna be nearly unstoppable!
Knowing that red faced cunt Ferguson he'll intentionally field a weakened side against Arse as a favor to Wenger for giving him RvP. I'm sure he'd love nothing more than to see Chelsea out of the top 4 and see Arse in our place. Then he'll put his strongest team out against us.
What an insane midfield they'd have if this is true. And imagine if they get Suarez too. They may win the CL this year and have an even better squad next season. Scary.
As someone above said. One absolutely world class striker and the rest of the team can be average. Imperative that we get one for next season CL or not.
