Well if they lost in court they will have to move headquarter to France or pay up 100m euros. And if they move to France that mean Falcao along with the co will have to pay 75% of their wages as taxes. This mean Monaco would have to essentially double the wages of all their players so they can remain on their current wages after taxes. As unlikely as it is, it could happens...

Doesn't matter anymore, if Falcao is really for sale move for him imo instead or pay 40m euros for Martinez.

£35m is 40m euros

Gonna be rejected, Napoli already offered 32m euros. We have to pay the full clause to sign him.

Last summer Hulk played a few games for Porto before moving to Zenit so you can definitely play for at least 2 teams competitively. However I am not sure you can move twice in the same transfer window, on loan is alright but permanently?

Yep just came out a few hours ago but a few other news seems to have picked it up and to be fair the issue seems real. Currently Monaco is taking LFP to court over this argument.

Apparently Falcao have been transfer listed by Monaco. It is rumored that Ligue 1 decided that Monaco would have to move their headquarter to France or risk being fined 100m euros. If they move their headquarter to France it means all of their players wouldn't get tax free anymore, they would all have to pay 75% of their wages to taxes there. However a few weeks ago there are rumors that Falcao is 29 years old and he would still cost at least £40-£50m atm and will demand quite a hefty wages too. So what do you all think? http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-23288213 http://www.marca.com/blogs/futbolitis/2013/08/15/falcao-en-el-mercado.html

Apparently Monaco have to move their headquarter to France or risk being fine £100m and if they move there all of their players will be taxes 75% which mean Falcao wouldn't get tax free anymore.

But rumor that he is 29 years old lol and I don't think he would be any cheaper than £45-£50m+ at least £200k wages surely.

Falcao transfer listed seems to have some legs, all over Facebook and Twitter now. Something about 75% taxes because Monaco have to move headquarter to France or risked being fine £100m. So what do you all think?

Look like he is enjoying himself at training today, probably settled the issue with Liverpool and now most likely to stay unless a foreign team come in with a £50m bid. Well there was always half chance of him staying and it seems it finally happened.

Maybe they found out he is indeed 29 years old trololololololololoolololololol Here is the translated link for that Marca article, pretty sure it is bullshit but who knows http://translate.google.co.uk/translate?sl=auto&tl=en&prev=_t&hl=en&ie=UTF-8&u=http://www.marca.com/blogs/futbolitis/2013/08/15/falcao-en-el-mercado.html

Yeah probably stuck with the three we got I think he will have to agree to cut his wages because no one is gonna pay him that.

I agree completely apart from some of the results like against Reading and Newcastle, we lost points in those match because of pure shit defending instead of Torres but it doesn't help that he doesn't do shit for us either. Some of the games against big teams are understandable because he is not a big game player anymore but games against the likes of Fulham, QPR are UNACCEPTABLE because they are as shit as it comes to in the league. If he can't do shit against them then how the hell does he stands a chance against half decent teams?

Dream scenario: Mikel out for £10m, De Rossi in for £11m. Ba out for £5m/Torres out for £10m, Rooney in for £35-40m. Realistic scenario: No one out for anything, Eto'o in for £5m

Doesn't want to talk about Rooney obviously because he knows he will get that type of questions. He can't say he is still injured because he just fucking ran around 67 mins on Wedneday and constantly talking on Facebook about how fit he feels.

Signing Falcao/Cavani/Rooney/Eto'o is not long term, that is what separated us from Arsenal. We also go for super stars as well as young promising players. Also I don't understand how people are complaining about transfer fee all the time yet doesn't complain about wages? Cavani costs £54m and a lot of people were against that signing, so now even at £300k per week Eto'o is cheap compare to him? Btw his agent just came out and said he is NOT WILLING to drop his wages. Obviously it is low risk, he is 34 years old and hardly any team can afford his wages anymore and we can let him go anytime soon.

He was never likely to be the explosive type like Hazard. He is someone who occasionally scores an out of this world goal. Think of him like Mata but a bit worse. Actually he might play a similar role to us like when Yossi did for Liverpool a few years ago. Coming off the bench as an impact sub or start some occasion game but never going to be a mainstay.

He will start on Sunday that is for sure.

Didier Drogba

Funny how everyone talk about his terrible performance but forgot that he had a goal wrongly ruled out for offside... Still worth £30-£40m to me, I would bid at that.

Buying young talent than go on about signing Eto'o haha ok

One thing for sure is I don't think Luiz will play any part.

Exactly my team too haha agreed.

I think this will be the starting 11 for this match: Cech Ivanovic(Would be Dave but he go to Ecuador with Spain so he will be rested and be on the bench) Terry Cahill(Luiz is subject of interest from Barca so I don't think he is in the right frame of mind to start) Cole Ramires Van Ginkel or Lampard, I think this one will depends on Frank's fitness and how the England game go for him, I think MVK will start as it stand atm Hazard-Definitely must Oscar Kevin Lukaku Mata, Torres, Dave, Schurrle, Mark, Mikel, Ba to make the bench. Luiz would probably not even be in the squad since he might wants to leave.
