Pizy 18,918 Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 What do you guys think would be the minimum # of goals Falcao would need to score in his first season here to be considered a success? Like will he be considered overrated if he doesn't bang in 30? I love him as a player and would welcome him here without question, but a part of me is wondering if we should indeed go a cheaper route and get someone else.

The only place to be 11,313 Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 Tough to measure his success. Ideally we'd want to sell more than a million Chelsea shirts worldwide and gain greater following in the emerging South American markets.To help that we should print up lots of plastic flags with his face on....I really think the more plastic flags the better, maybe even sell someone like Chalobah who is completely unproven at the top level and use that to print more plastic flags.Also we need to include a clause in his contract about kissing the badge when he scores.

LOOOOL, thanks for reading it!As far as Falcao's success, banging 25-30 and leading us to a trophy would be called a hit... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueLyon 9,359 Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 The point is that if we spend 50mio for him, he needs to deliver 30+ goals in first season and be super effective. But that wont happen. In first year he will adopt and then he will be 28/29 next year. For someone who needs to adopt and is not effective right from start, 50mio is a way too much...he isnt worth that money. If we were spanish club (or Falcao would play for PL team) and he would be already used to play in league, it would make sense, but this doesnt.If we sign Lewa, he will need time to adopt but he will be half cheaper and only 25 by then.

In his worst season in Europe, this one (according to my point of view), he has scored 25 goals so far. Talking about regularity.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YouNameIt 1,511 Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 Adapting?This is one of the best strikers in the world. He's not an amateur. He knows what he is doing. He would instantly make an impact. If you think english teams will be problematic or whatnot for him in the beginning, do you remember what he did against us when we faced atlethico?

Sheva. 5,373 Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 I believe the adapting period applies less to forwards, than midfielders and defenders. Look at Aguero and Michu who scored lots of goals in la liga, they came to the PL and even scored at a better rate. Torres also did the same when he just joined Liverpool from Atleti.

Lewandowski would be a good option, suspect there would be loads of clubs trying to sign him though, I think Falcao's is probably the better striker and there would probably be less competition to sign him as he costs more.

When did Mourinho transfer the most hyped up players to his teams? Never.true. Mourinho's buys never were too obvious but you have to say Drogba and Essien were pretty big deals already in France. but football has changed a lot since then. I think the Bundesliga is more suited to become the EPL's next feeder league. Hence Lewandowski ftw. He scores enough, amazing link-up and hold-up play. Falcao might be better now, but I am quite sure this won't be the case in 2 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
