Santiago. 1,500 Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 That's cause Messi is playing in his position and he got injured. If any center forward went to Barca, they would end up like Villa or Sanchez... Villas has been quality for them. It's just a shame that broken leg left him out for half a year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leif 6,006 Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 He scores. That's it. He offers nothing else. Our team doesn't need JUST a goalscorer though. Porto and Atletico played FOR and TO Falcao and DEPENDED on him - hence his high goal output. We never do that though. We never depend on our strikers like every other top team seems to do. We've always had goals coming from midfield; from Di Matteo (not so much), to Lampard, to Mata. It's what makes us Chelsea - everyone chips in; just like Ramires's goal vs. Barcelona (PUN INTENDED!!!) The reason lots of us seem to desire Falcao is because he scores loads compared to Torres who just doesn't score - and also offers very little else. But what happens if Falcao comes and goes on a dry-spell of not scoring? He can't hold up play like Drogba, dribble and assist like Zola, bully defenders like JFH etc. Without his finishing, he will offer the same to us as what Torres currently offers. When it comes to other players though; Jovetic is more the Zola type who can contribute with assists, taking free-kicks etc. if his scoring boots just stop working. Lewandowski helps build-up play tremendously. Cavani is the closest player to Drogba I've ever seen - He works tirelessly, bullies the opposition, wins aerial duels, helps defend set-pieces etc. We simply must invest in a complete player again to, not replace Drogba, but fill his void. We can't put all the faults on Falcao (in theory) though or even Torres. Any poacher-like player at this club is destined to fail - for the exact reason I started with. We play for eachother on the pitch and not solely for the striker. The only way a Falcao-type player will work here is if we invest in a proper playmaker to play central, get a top class winger for the right hand-side, and our players learn how to get the ball to the striker more (which we fail to do even with Ba up-top.) Cavani would be at the top of my list IF we get someone and don't throw Lukaku into the deep end. Failing that, I'd want our scout team to grow some balls and gamble on lesser known player perhaps from Ligue 1 or Holland who fits the bill.

juko 19 Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 I love how all of a sudden when Falcao doesn't score lots of goals, none of you guys want him, when months earlier you were drooling over him... it's normal, it's human Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

themightyblue 443 Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 It would be funny if we signed Falcao. I reckon there'd be quite a few disappointed Chelsea fans......which is quite weird to say Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rmpr 8,977 Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 It is one thing to criticize his asking price (which is ridiculous), now, it is another to start doing posts about his talent and ability because of it.The exact same people having orgasms when he scored 5 goals in one game are the ones doing complete downside posts, weird!

This is a football forum, if you want to go off topic go to the General Chat sub-forum, and even there we don't appreciate stereotypes that can be found offensive by some of our members.

themightyblue 443 Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 Falcao doesn't have the skill-set required. Cavani does, only he'd been out of form - which every striker experiences. Skill-set required? I'm sorry but in terms of movement, positioning etc Falcao wins it for me. Cavani's work rate is the biggest difference. But it's all opinions I guess though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
