pWneR 230 Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 do you have any striker u had in mind that have good link up and can still score goals?? Rooney would suit us very good, and I think Lewandowski. I think we should bid for Rooney (again). United are now mid table club, and I don't think it would be tough to convince him to come here. And he would be 1st striker here, with no competition. Poslato sa LT30p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stingray 9,441 Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 He can turn into a non scorer just as Torres, Ba, Eto'o ... Just as strikers before them did. And then you have a non linking up scorer that doesnt score. So not convinced , I fear.Also: we don't need link up? In our system? Fast, direct and counterattacking? We need it more than ever, I believe.He needs big games to perform? While I find that a sign of poor mentality, if it is true: what will he do on a rainy night at Stoke?I just don't know. I do NOT claim he is not a very prolific striker, but is he the right striker for us? Especially given FFP and a probable hefty price tag and the fact we have almost no midfield at this very moment. There are a lot of if's here and would he have done better in the eyes of the Monaco fans, I would be reassured, but they simply aren't happy with his performances there.do you have any striker u had in mind that have good link up and can still score goals??Not really tbh. Lewa and Rooney but that is a no go apparantly. We will probably/maybe reinfirce midfield and wait it out till summer for a striker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueLyon 9,359 Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 In year 2012, Falcao scored 29 league goals. In 2013, he scored only 20 goals and he played in 'easier' french league for second half of the year. Costa scored 27 league goals in 2013 for comparison.It only shows that he basicaly lost main atribute; scoring goals. He still scores, but less than a year before. If anything we should get him in 2012, when he was a real beast. On another note, I would probably still sign him now, but certainly not for more than 40m. But there are soo many comparisons to Torres.Fact 1: Both would be signed in januaryFact 2: Both would cost over 50m£Fact 3: Both have scored 9 league goals for their previous team, before joining us.Fact 4: Both came here in decent form, but certainly far from their best.Fact 5: Both played for Atletico in their careerFact 6: Both had long hairFact 7: Both will be close to age 27 when joining us.

The Skipper 20,609 Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 They also think he is quite shit/average on that Monaco forum.... I don't think I want him as our striker. "Tu prends le Falcao de Monaco en oubliant le passé, c'est loin d'être un crack. Vitesse banale, accélération très moyenne, élimination très faible, détente inexistante, remise maladroite, puissance de frappe très moyenne. A côté de ça, il est précis face au but (bon il y a des loupés mais qui n'en fait pas?), son ratio de but est bon malgré ses faibles occasions." Translate freely: he is very, very average and far from being a crack. His goal ratio might still be ok but there are the weak performances. Also: they say repeatedly on that forum he can score a goal sometimes but adds nothing in link-up or general play (no acceleration, average speed, no tracking back, ....). He is precise when placed in front of the goal. I still believe this would be Torres 2.0. Also money-wise. No go for me. Been saying this since day one.

Pizy 18,916 Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 Don't think he'd flop quite as hard as Torres has, but can't see him being a world beater like an RvP, Agüero, or Suarez.Glad we didn't spunk £50-60 on him. We should be spending a max of £30-40m on a striker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Korea 734 Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 You guys do realize Monaco is JRod+ moutinho + Falcao and champ lvl players right?? Lets see how well Hazard + oscar + Willian would do with the rest of the team being champ lvl players...In addition, their one game off of first place...Correction +abidal.

Korea 734 Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 Wut? Sorry, don't get your post tbh. Can you explain, please mate? Falcao is the same player he was at Atletico and Colombia...However, hes team isnt that good besides those mentioned above.. They just got promoted to top level and Falcao knows he doesnt have to try much to get a champs league spot for Monaco....If Chelsea had 3 star players and the rest champ level players, the three star players wouldnt look so hot as well... Especially in the CF role, where CFs are dependent on the team, unless you do longball tactics..I was against Chelsea signing Falcao, but he isnt as bad as you guys are making him seem... Mourinho should of went all out and purchase Cavani and Capoue/Moutinho. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A Chelsea striker needs to have a LOT to succeed, history shows. Ps2: I lol'ed at Championship level Monaco tbh. Moutinho, J. Rodriguez, Carvalho, Abidal, Kondogbia. Com'on. Be seriuos. I would really be happy to see Monaco try on the Championship level teams. You might just be underestimating Monaco just a tad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
