Jase 43,479 Posted August 2, 2015 Share Posted August 2, 2015 Not every striker who suffers a huge injury is Torres though, which it seems like what you and other members seem to be thinking. He had a poor year at United, where in theory they had a mixed year, different formations, partnerships, never had a settled team to the last 3 or 4 months etc but honestly he still looked different from the sort of guy we are seeing here. He struggled with his fitness a lot last season too, which after a year out as well doesn't help. Not making excuses as I wasn't so sure of signing him but he is a good replacement for Drogba at least and he should be given a chance, a striker is judged on goals, his movement looks promising so who knows? We start finding him and he gets matches who knows, 10 goals minimum from the bench and rotation? Good to have. Yeah but the effect could just be as bad, mentally and maybe even physically.

ulsterchelsea 3,221 Posted August 2, 2015 Share Posted August 2, 2015 I see there's some massive overreactions on here over Falcao's no worse than most of the teams performance. ...who'd have imagined that on here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fernando 6,585 Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 Falcao to score less than 5 goals in all competition, quote me back on this at the end of the season.Doubt it.I think Falcao might be our wild card.While we are all complaining about transfer and me about youth, I think we might end up surprise at the end of the season.We could easily win the double, treble or quadruple if we take Capital One Cup serious.But I have a funny feeling that Falcao will make the difference for us and make us forget these boring non transfer activity months.

xPetrCechx 13,570 Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 Falcao: "Diego Costa & Loic Remy are excellent finishers. We hope to have healthy competition and, after that, the coach will decide." #cfcFalcao: "Strikers always want to score goals, clearly, I'm calm. The goals will come and we have great strikers in this team." #cfc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hybrid Angel 2,130 Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 His upper body strength needs to improve big time. His touch isn't so good either but I hope that's because we're still in pre-season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueLyon 9,359 Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 He bulked up alot since his atleti days. I even remember him saying he goes to fitness to get fit for "tough" ligue 1. And you can see he got bigger now. Not necessary to be stronger tho. But that sucks big time for footballers, even more for attackers. Players need to be in good shape physicaly and extensive fitness itself is never great for body. Fitness is something every football player has to do, but in Falcao case he went too far. He is still a football player, not a fitness persona. I can tell from personal experience, I was skinny as quick as fuck, but since I have been to gym for past three years, I am now twice the size and considerably slower and less agile. Despite still doing the cardio. You get strenght and good look, but also fitness makes you slower and you get tired quicker. Not to mention your blood pressure can get sky high if you dont do it right and get too much weight (mass or muscle) in short time.Falcao got bulked up, he aint Scharzenegger but its still a big change to his body. He never was fast, but still alot quicker, mobile and agile than now. Confidence is also lower, but main problem is his body. If you have good body shape naturaly like Drogba its no problem but if you make big change to your body in such short time, like Falcao it aint good. Your body abities completely change.
