"I think around 35%-45% of his goals (completely made up but in my opinion likely statistic) are penalties or pretty much tap-ins." - Isnt that what a striker is meant to do... isnt that what we currently lack in our team ?? We get the cross in and no one is there to attack the ball... Because a certain blonde prick is too busy fixing his hair "I won't be convinced until he can hold up play, pass well, assist often, defend set-pieces & add to his work-rate." - I watch this guy almost everyweek, he holds up play really well... take my word for it. His passing isnt amazing but its average and the reason he doesn't assist much is because in his team he is the man ! This is Falcao's game in a nutshell, gets the ball passes it on and makes his way to the box. Because Atletico is a counter-attacking side... more often than not he gets the ball and all of his team mates are behind him. 9 times out of 10 he is the furthest player up the pitch for his team. Defending of set-pieces wont be a problem because his aerial abilities are fantastic ! His work-rate isnt great i must say.. probably the one area of his game that our no.9 is better at... but look at Messi, the guy is one of the laziest players off the ball (besides the odd occasion where he gets fed up and sprints back to get the ball) but he still delivers ! Falcao comes to life when he is in and around the box... thats what makes him such an amazing player. "He seems to score around 3-4 curlers from outside the box a season " - If by curlers you mean just goals in general from outside the box then .. i seriously dont know what to say to that. Gobsmacked ! "...with 2 'wundergoals'.(Per Season) "- This lad scored two bicycle kicks in pre-season games and im pretty sure they were in consecutive games... you either have seen little to nothing of this guy or have the highest fucking standards of what qualifies to be a 'wondergoal'. For your benefit, here is a video of his goals. Spoiler alert tho... theyre not all tap ins/ penalties ... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E1r05RnlqJY
