Hopefully he will watch us lift the cwc.

Who can say no thanks to Falcao now. he shows the world time and time again. rumor is our scouts were there tonight. Is there any doubting our January bid now

Sorry mate I don't buy that media farce. Every fan has fickle fans but fickle chelsea ones aren't any different to the united, madrid or milan ones.

Rafa gets us top four (and maybe a trophy) and pep or Jose next season will make me a happy man.

So Atleti spending 40 million for falcao didn't have scrutiny, even halfway people were talking about the money. everything he does has hype because he scores ever game, everything torres does has hype because everyone knows how much he cost, how good he used to be and how bad he is today. Obviously he will be under scrutiny I never said he wouldn't, I said unlike Torres Falcao has the mentality to pull through and will get the goals.we brought torres at the wrong time he was on a downward fall, even when he signed i wanted us to sign aguero as partner but knew it wouldnt be possible. falcao however is at a peak and like rvp who is 29, i have confidence this guy can bring his goals to the league.

agreed, i think in a game where a striker doesn't score unless your ibrahimovic or drogba your impact will generally be regarded as offering little.

he is a big game player mate, but i think you should give him benifit of the doubt. atletico were awful today. he did score a pen but i guess not scoring in 3 games is a bad run for falcao P.S its also nice to actually have a discussion with someone who is substantiating his concerns.

Lol touche. at the end of the day we have an assist engine. falcao has the best aerial threat, iniesta described him in the feature of perfect player here. oscar,mata and hazard will be happy to see a striker scoring there chances and im sure chelsea fans would be too. I want a striker who can score goals. a striker that would put fear in opponents. falcao fits the bill and i hope if he comes chelsea will be a hit. you can give him a sniff and he will find a way to get the ball in the net, he has everything our attack is missing. we dominate but someone misses. Also like i said i think because his finishing is so good people underrate his other aspects in a game. where another player would try and dribble then score falcao could probably get the ball in the net. he is a true number 9.

from shots on targets i meant. also what are you saying where did you get those stats 1 cross? i've seen him get 2 assists this season. And falcao doesn't win games by himself, i remember this season he got a goal in last minute from a freekick winning the game. He scored the goals in europa league final and doesn't only score in 5-0 games. a one dimensional striker would never get the best striker in the world tag but most journalists say he is and so do most fans.

what you just said contradicted yourself. he's a great finisher but not much else? i disagree. People often say torres is very good teamplayer but look at this: fernando has 1 assist and 4 goals in epl falcao has 14 goals and 2 assists in la liga. not just that but he is equally very good linking up. Ibrahimovic is a one of a kind, like drogba. theres not been may complete players like him.

He might score too many goals for his own good, only us chelsea fans would seriously argue about signing Falcao. Any team in the world would take him. best no.9.

As far as I see we have a team that is actually set up for one man right now but is missing all his chances. torres's movements are all wrong he hardly helps himself by running to the wings. i thought that would be temporary but worringly it is not. falcaos movement on the other hand will score a goal which many would never get too. Ive watched him since he was at porto and he is not one-dimensional at all.

You do know falcao has one of the best shot to goal ratio's in the world, being 48% also i don't think you've seen enough of his goals because he has scored some insane goals. i think his goal will win puskas too: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zHhbmp80yC4 Also no skill? Also look at 30 seconds here,he runs past like 5 players in the box. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8jEBE-9NdxM

you said he would be overhyped, so i naturally compared it with a signing we made who was also 50 mill and also overhyped. I was not insinuating you referred to torres at all just sarcastically exclaimed that falcao has a strong mentality by bringing up someone who doesn't . also there was expectations from falcao he cost 40 mill and all reporters were questioning that. in all finals the world is watching there is pressure, super cup aswell. i reckon he can deal with the epl hype.

chelsea are in a bad state but a major reason for that is not being clinical right. falcao can fill that void and he will love the idea of mata,hazard oscar and the fallbacks feeding him.

Not everyone has torress mentality you know. falcao will love the idea of playing all games as he did basically every game last season. Also he shows up on the big occasions and won't shy away from massive expectations. i mean he cost atleti 40 million, every questioned it and now hes shown everyone that 40million was a great price.

Maybe because he knows chelsea is a bigger club no matter the clubs position now? sure atleti are doing well but are about to lose to madrid and with barca he knows there not going to win. some people are too negative...

It's life unfortunately I wish that the poor get all this money but in the football climate falcao for 47 mill is normal.

You are aware it isn't 100 million his buyout clause is 48 million. atletico cant ask for anymore than that. 100 million is just the media spicing up the headline by adding in agent fees a figue of 200k a week and god knows what else. Wouldve thought you knew that...

l lol not goin to say anything different after not even of taking charge of a game against chelsea.

What are you taking about? Let me show you various quotes from the people the head of Atleti: Here's confirmation of its existence from the president: "“If they come along with his release clause; if they bring the money, they pay it and the player agrees, he doesn't even have to say goodbye,” Cerezo told a Madrid television channel. General manager Gil Marin here saying "€60 million (£48m) for Falcao would solve all the economic problems at Atlético. " Didn't you follow anything last year about Falcao extending his contract to get that very figure written on paper? And again I dont kno why you think you know how to meet the regulations better than the clubs personell who are paid a lot of money to to this jobs.

He will not leave until after the world cup.

Alleged? Everyone at Atletico has made it perfectly clear of the price, it's written in the buyout and to add to that they said they will listen to offers. A player like Falcao WILL not get cheaper over a window. Falcao seems to come out daily and say he will leave one day and always seems to indicate us. They brought him for 40 mill and haven't payed all the money to porto yet. They failed to meet FFP and didnt get anything form the Europa League win. They need the money and we need a striker. we've posted profits for the first time. Stop worrying about FFP i'm sure the club know how to meet these laughable regulations.

Ridiculous reasoing. The only reason we may not sign him in Jan would be due to footballing reasns (they want him until the end of the season). There's simply a buyout which is to be met (Chelsea may try to negotiate but it will be in vain). Atletico desperetely need the money and wont budge with the price.

What on earth? Hazard was a workhorse doing very well tracking bac to help. Bertrand had a terrible game but he's young and will learn.
