pHaRaOn 2,131 Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 Did Mourinho earlier made so clear hints about transfer targets? I don't think so. I wouldn't be surprised if it's just some sort of divert. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BloodIsBlue 291 Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 Mourinho keeps his cards close to his chest, the media is always going to try to make sense of things. Their agent will always keep Mourinho and Falcao linked but I don't think for second the club is going to sign Falcao, we don't want someone who will be in their 30's at the end a short contract with us. EVERY other option intrigues me more through either the benefit of a young player or a far cheaper option than Falcao. Cavani would obviously make us a really feared team but PSG isn't that type of club and unless Cavani is so unhappy he becomes useless we don't have a shot at signing him for any reasonable fee. That leaves Costa, Balotelli, Mandzukic, Doumbia and L. Muriel all look to me as better options. Monaco also have Falcao spoiled as I read somewhere that he makes 12m tax free, we would have to put him on 450k/week to match his pay in London apparently. So Falcao has the potential to worse than 100 Fernandos should we experience the worst case scenario or a Torres like scenario. Falcao sold out moving to Monaco these are the kind of moves that create the Torres effect in players as they get greedy, can we really expect a goal machine when it looks like his motivation to be best has been replaced by his motivation to the richest?

communicate 2,703 Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 I hope it's true, Colombians bought 65k tickets for the World Cup and it would be a shame if their primary player couldnt participate...As for us signing him, I wouldnt mind it tbh. He is a fantastic player and people dont like to give him half the credit he deserves. He is way better than Diego Costa!I know he is coming out of a big knee injury, but he can definitely recover from it. Ronaldo (fat) had 2 of those more than a decade ago and he came back to win a WC in huge style. So did Adrian Peterson, in only 8 months btw. Not saying we shouldnt be worried, but it doesnt mean Falcao is done just because he had a knee injury.Of course I would prefer Cavani (I'd have actually signed him last summer), but if it is for the right amount (30-35mi), I cant see it doing us any harm...I think it depends whether he will get enough playing time to get into form for before WC. I'm pretty sure he will be brought into squad as long as he can play but playing player that just recovered from long injury tends to cause problems than good.

Henrique 9,133 Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 His injury is probably just a fake thing, to drop his price tag, since he wants to leave Monaco. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if this were true I'd find it so unprofessional a player like this would be toxic to our club or anyone's for that matter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fernando 6,585 Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 Why buy him? He's the same case as Torres, coming of a major injury and might force himself into the world cup hurting himself even more..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmarlow 458 Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 Monaco would definitely sell him as they need the money to go towards complying with FFP and they have Berbatov, Germain and Riviere, If Falcao has a good World Cup i could definitely see us bidding for him.

Falcao doesn't rely on explosive acceleration and pace like Torres did, Falcao has more to his game and is much better technically then Torres ever was. Ronaldo suffered a horrible injury and when he came back he lost some pace and explosiveness but he never solely relied on his pace like Torres did so he was able to comeback and still have a great career after his terrible injury! I believe that is how Falcao will be, he will comeback and still be a class and clinical finisher. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That such injuries would have done that. But nobody knew. Similar here, nobody knows so why take the risk? And to be fair, for 25 million is not a bad risk as it was for 50....

Any element of doubt from the medical staff then he shouldn't be risked, life goes on after the WC and that is the big key point. Any wrong decision can end his career in seconds, and that goes for anyone.Look no further than Essien in how a career can just nose-dive after a big injury.
