1. Torres Hazard - Oscar - Mata Mikel - Ramires Cole - Terry - Cahill - Ivan Cech Hazard - Torres - Mata Mikel - Ramires - Romeu Cole - Terry - Cahill - Ivan Cech 2. I'd like to see the FA Cup won and the Premier League. Club Word Cup would be a bonus. 3. Youth 4. Perfect so far, but I'd hate to see the team play with abudant injuries and suspensions. 5. Win FA, Semi League Cup, Semi Champions League, Winner CWC 6. Marin on the left or right wing and Danny at CF.

He seems like a top bloke. http://backpagefootball.com/craig-gardner-possibly-the-nicest-footballer-around/49480/

You guess right. Cavani is the dream, but I just don't see him leaving Napoli for some reason. Cavani's finishing may not be on par with Falcao's but his athleticism is unbelievable. But I'm not quite sold that Cavani would fit at Chelsea at the moment...

I don't think he is that selfish though. Sure he will shoot instead of passing to a team mate in a better position but that is just his nature as a Foward. I don't think he chooses to shoot instead of pass, I believe he just doesn't see the pass. If you watch him during build up play however, he is quite a good passer and is quite willing to do give and gos, one-twos etc. Remember that through ball to Torres? That is what he can do when he spots a pass!

I'm not arguing the fact that he has talent within the box and his finishing ability it's just all his other traits that I have problems with. If he could just dribble or pass better, I would be more supportive of signing him. There aren't many in the world right now and those that do fit that Del Piero/Totti mould are very raw. Jovetic is the main contender for this style but his problems with injuries is a bit of a worry. However if he stays fit he will be a massive player. El Sharaawy is another, though he is only 19 and it seems a bit much to ask him to lead the line for the Champions of Europe. Giovinco is great but he just signed for Juventus. Giuseppe Rossi has been destroyed by injuries I don't think he will recover. Benzema is another that plays similar but I'm not too sure about him. I like him but I'm not sure...It seems Serie A and the Italians love their Secondary Strikers/Trequartistas. There are a few others like Rooney and Tevez that play in that style role too. I don't want him to have a great work rate or anything ridiculous like that, I just want a striker that can support other players with passes and dribbles if necessary. While, Falcao just kind of stays up top and looks for goals. There isn't anything wrong with that, it just isn't my style. That is a bit askewed isn't it? I mean Falacao up until this point has only scored and played in the Europa League while Forlan and Aguero were playing in the Champions League. Besides, I've never really liked Forlan's style and Aguero plays very differently to Falcao. Read this about what style foward I like: http://footballsgrea...d-strikers.html On that site, Falcao would fit into the 'Striker' category. As opposed to Del Piero beind a 'Secondary Striker' and Drogba being a 'Centre Foward'. And thanks for replying in a civilised manner (unlike some others...), I appreciate that. It's always good to have a debate like this.

Monty Python and the Holy Grail.

I am from Iberia and do work in the Premier League, however I'm not AVB...

Oh! Come and see the violence inherent in the system! Help! Help! I'm being repressed! Oh, what a give-away. Did you hear that? Did you hear that, eh? That's what I'm on about. Did you see him repressing me? You saw it, didn't you? Moderator? And how d'you get that, eh? By exploiting the workers! By hanging on to outdated imperialist dogma which perpetuates the economic and social differences in our society. If there's ever going to be any progress with the on the website we have to revolutionise with a democratic system where supreme executive power derives from a mandate from the masses. We're living in a dictatorship: a self-perpetuating autocracy in which the working classes are banned one at time .Listen, strange men living in Norwich distributing mod and adim tags is no basis for a system of government.

I always liked Danny Boy. I've wanted to see him lead the line for a while now. I just hope when he starts getting regular minutes again, people don't play the 'greedy' card everytime time he fluffs his lines.

I ALREADY SAID THAT STOP TRYING TO STEAL MY THUNDER GAWD

I'd be happy with Sturridge getting more minutes.

Because you were mentioned in the original quote.

If Liverpool can score 5 against Norwich... This isn't the Norwich from last season, they are a shadow of that team, even if that team wasn't that great to begin with.

I don't think you understand what one dimensional means. He is one dimesional because nearly all of his goals come from either penalites of from inside the box. But that is not all, what else does Falcao provide except goals? He isn't a hard worker, he doesn't win many duels or dirbble that well, he doesn't shoot from distance, he doesn't take free kicks, he doesn't cross the ball, he doesn't pass all that well, he can't take corners, he isn't overly fast, he can't play out wide or in the hole, so please tell me what is so spectacular about Falcao besides his ability to find that net? Being a brilliant finisher is all well and good, but I want more than that. I want somebody like Del Piero or Franceso Totti. I won't complain about signing Falcao, but I think there is just a better fitting player out there. A lot of people just seem to be in a circle jerk about Falcao, and I think it's pretty naive to think that Falcao will just waltz right in score 30+ goals and win every trophy under the sun. There is more to football than just putting it in the back of the net. Just because they can finish does not make them a good footballer, look at Mario Jardel...I'm not saying that Falcao will end up like him, just htink about it.

I thought CHOULO19 and yourself were made moderators in preparation for LDN and Artinho leaving.

I don't think anyone said he would struggle. SeB, COULO19 and I are just trying to prove that he isn't the God Tier player a lot make him out to be. He is a fantastic player, but he is still just a goal poacher and I would prefer a trequartista-styled foward, if a new striker had to be signed.

I'm saying that Falcao is a one dimensional striker that needs the whole team to play for him. That is the point, he is the star man and they base their game around him. That is a part of his success, the extreme emphasis on him scoring. But let's say Falcao was a CB and he cost more than the whole team , would they still base their entire game around him? If Falcao joined and scored half the goals he did at Porto and Atletico for £50 million, would he still be a success? The Liverpool and Atletico comparison is pointless because I never once said that getting goals from a variation of players is superior, I said I preferred it.

SeB Only one (half) nomination.

It was 49%. 21% from Lamps and 28% from Drogba. Still quite high, but not quite at levels of Porto and Atletico Madrid. On another note, Porto socred 63 times in the 10/11 season, Atletico scored 53 times in the 11/12 season and Chelsea scored 103 times in the 09/10 season.

His escapades up the flanks do worry me sometimes. If he was slightly faster this wouldn't be so bothersome.

Aaah, my mistake.

Okay. 1. Let's analyze the Portuguese league. During the season of 2010/2011 Porto won 27 games and drawing three.They scored 63 times, with Hulk contributing to 23 goals which is 35% of their total goals. Falcao scored 16 goals which is 25% of the goals Porto scored. 60% percent of the goals scored by two players. TWO PLAYERS. That does not make a good team, that makes two good individuals. I don't want talented individuals I want a talented and balanced team. Also I think that the Portuguese Leage and La Liga are significantly below the standards of the BPL. 2. Have you watched Atletico Madrid? All they do is look for Falcao. That is all they do, they don't score because the don't shoot themselves, Turan Atletico's second highest goal scored this season has 4 shots on target and 2 goals in 6 appearances, hardly a bad return but it would be higher if he took more shots, no?. And to call the shit because they can't score is possibly the most immature and naive statement I've ever heard. You do realise that there is more to football than scoring goals, don't you? 3. It's impossible to make chances for yourself. What does he do? Cross the ball and then run into the box so he can head the ball into the net? He doesn't dribble through every player like Maradona or Messi and score a solo goal. What the hell do you mean they don't need service? Do you even understand what that means? Of course they need service. As I said earlier Falcao doesn't dribble through every damn player to score a solo goal, I don't think has ever done that. Falcao scores from through balls, crosses and set pieces i.e. service. He isn't Messi or Maradona. So how do these chances come along if there isn't any service? Does the ball magically appear inside the six yard box for lethal players to bam into the net? 4. He has scored more goals than three against us. Ridiculous argument. Are they the only three goals you've actually seen from Falcao? At least try to give a better argument.

Hasn't he played against Barça a few times in MF?

Are you sure? Because Luiz loves to roam foward and only at CB is he given the space to roam foward. In the Midfield players are pressed much quicker and are expected to pass the ball quicker, if case you haven't noticed Luiz loves to dawdle on the ball and contemplate his options. At CB usually only the CF presses the CB, and since it usually only one player pressing, it gives the Cb more space and more time to make decisions. I promise you if Luiz was playing at DM/CM it would result in many, many turnovers. Besides, how many really good DMs make Luiz-esque roams foward? Makélélé didn't, Redondo didn't, Gattuso didn't and don't forget players like Yaya Touré and Michael Essien are B2B not DMs.
