Chelsea Legend 11 4,062 Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 Champions can't settle. Costa is a very good player but as he is he's a level or two behind the likes of Suarez, Aguero, Benzema, Ibrahimovic & Lewandowski.If I were Emenalo, Mourinho I'd be looking to sign potential at this point. A young striker with the skillset that matches those players to eventually take Costa's spot in the long term (2-3 seasons).How does signing a replacement for our 37 yr old third choice striker signify settling? And no Costa is not any worse than Benzema, Ibrahimovic or Lewandowski! The mere suggestion is ludicrous... Really? Wow.So your idea of strengthening for a title push next season is buying a striker who is 2-3 yrs away from pushing Costa as our number 1? interesting...

lucio 5,418 Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 How about you put up a decent rebuttal instead? Can you really refute anything I said?Do we create as many chances as Arsenal or Man City? Or Barca & Madrid?Less than city , the same as arsenal, according to statistics. City are well ahead of everyone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thor 2,711 Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 4 goals in 14 starts is mad deceiving when he's totalling 4 goals in 29 appearances for United.Falcao is not a creative striker either. Never was.It really isn't if you consider some of his substitution appearances were less than 10 minutes of play, and his playing time being so weirdly distributed, along with LVG coaching and making all kinds of weird changes that mess with their dynamic in the game... None of us really know how he'll do here, but can anyone that is doubting him point to the reasons as to why they are doubting him? He looked fine physically, as well as getting into the right spots when United wasn't just hoofing balls forward to Belgian Afro man. Apart from the terrible management at United, I don't see much lacking in his game. What is it that is the worry with this guy? He looks fine physically, so lets give him a shot and see if he can hit that form again in a more structured and suited team for him. Say what you like, but we won't be sending long balls to him like United were. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iseah100 5,612 Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 Poor run of form doesn't equal past it. I'm willing to bet he hits THAT form again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vybz Kartel 1,613 Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 Me too. And if it doesn't work out, it's one season with no obligation of a purchase. Makes me laugh people want Bamford or Solanke as a third choice striker behind the injury prone Remy and Costa. Neither are ready and need a PL loan.So Falcao is proven in the EPL now?? He was a disaster at Man Utd. His fat, overpaid, overhyped not even 29. Apparently his real age is 32 or something like that, you are likily going to get more from Solanke or Bamford than this washed up overpaid striker. He could not even make an impact in an u21 game for Utd ffs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomo 21,751 Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 If we end up losing such a valuable and reliable striker in Remy as a result, it will be impossible to justify this signing. It is illogical and totally needless. I don't know the need for signing a washed up striker to be third choice when you have two solid strikers in Traore and Bertrand to fill the role. Who spends £10m minus wages on a third choice anyway.If Remy wants to leave to play regularly there's not much we can do.If he wants to stay however.....

A young striker with the skillset that matches those players to eventually take Costa's spot in the long term (2-3 seasons).I agree that we should never stand still infact I preach it a lot however we won't get a striker on par with Costa anytime soon without breaking the bankHe may not be on par with those looking at thing's purely technically but as a striker and what he offers the team he is up there, his off the ball movement causes absolute havoc and is just a big a reason while we don't struggle vs the lesser sides as much as Cesc is, Atletico aren't even creating half the chances they did with Costa and neither do we when he is not playing.If he gets put wide or dropped to accommodate Falcao ill be pissed, Falcao shouldn't get ahead of Diego unless he reproduces his Leti form, and even then ill still probably prefer Costa as him upfront has brought 2 league title's in the last two years for his sides.

Chelsea Legend 11 4,062 Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 Hahahahaha! Idiot. Jose is a human, he makes mistakes. Example Cuadrado isn't all shining lights since he moved to the Bridge. This will be another one.But we can all agree he has earned the right to work with whoever he deems fit, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
didierforever 7,349 Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 Are you blind? I said he isn't awesome like he used to be. I am looking at last season and last season ONLY since it's recent. Over the years, Falcao was a way better player but today he is laughable.Most players do not get their form back after a massive injury. Torres, Pires, Eduardo to name a few.Colombia just lost to fucking Venezuela of all teams. What was Falcao doing?Hahahahaha! Idiot. Jose is a human, he makes mistakes. Example Cuadrado isn't all shining lights since he moved to the Bridge. This will be another one.so your measurement of a player's ability is a year..hmmm.. well i guess then that bale would be a 10mil pound player for u, right. since he had a bad last season. a lot of players do get their form back after injuries, rooney, costa, reus, bastian to name a few.chile could not beat mexicoB. sanchez and vidal suckbelgium lost to wales, hazard sucks cocks. like i said... hahahhaha.. dumbass, so cuadrado is already a mistake. 300 minutes of football with chelsea and he is a mistake. now i guess what category of idiots you belong to. guess you were one of those morons who thought malouda was mistake before he became one of our best players in 09-10 season.

AndersonBLUE 819 Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 There's no point denying it, he is shocking now. I mean c'mon he has sucked the past couple years.Just glad he is benchwarmer status don't want to see another donkey up front for chelsea playing for any length of time. Torres was enough thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

didierforever 7,349 Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 Except Bale didn't have a massive injury. Costa wasn't injured for half a year. Rooney and Reus if they were injured for that long, at least they was young when he was injured. Falcao is 29. Bastian is a midfielder.You are comparing a FRIENDLY match? You are dissing Wales when they are a decent team with Bale and Ramsey, AND it was at Wales' home ground... :clown: I didn't call him a mistake, I said he hasn't been shining lights ever since he moved to the Bridge, which is indeed - fact. Jose can make mistakes, he is a human, not a magician - fact. I trust Jose, but for this particular transfer which could see Loic Remy leave/go on loan out of Chelsea I do not agree with.but he did have a poor year did not he? thats what matters? bale's performances were worse than young so we should start comparing them, was not that your logic behind comparing falcao and crouch. :clown: :clown:a midfielder like bastian (B2B) has more running to do, more challenges to put, so... :clown: atleast get your fucking stats right u moron.. it was a euro qualifier not a friendly. just goes on to show exactly what u know. copa america is being held in chile right? so thats their home ground. a below half strength mexico.. so i guess, vidal and sanchez are useless.someone not agreeing with this transfer - fair enough.somone comparing falcao to crouch - idiot-fact. get it!!!???

Chelsea Legend 11 4,062 Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 One more thing that gets overlooked is our late game plan b with two strikers up top. Remy and Costa never worked at all, for a two-striker system to work you need to have an understanding and form a partnership. Few can argue that Costa and Falcao never had that at Atleti. Its an important detail if you ask me... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
didierforever 7,349 Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 So you are telling me last season Falcao performed better than Crouch. What season and how long was he injured?Except Chile are on top of their group. So they are not useless. And just because they are hosts, doesn't mean they are invincibles. And at least they didn't LOSE unlike Colombia. You are one of the fools who are blinded with the branded name "Falcao". Just like fools who were blinded with Torres. Until I see his lethal form back after that injury, he is a Torres 2.0.And if we are comparing last season between Falcao and Crouch, why not. This discussion about Falcao performances AFTER his injury.no, what i am telling you is that comparing falcao to crouch is as idiotic as comparing bale to young cos one had a bad season and another had a good one. :clown: hE has been injured continously for the last couple of seasons.so if they had lost, they would have been useles.. guess that makes hazard useles... :clown: so by "you are one of the fools", do you even mean JOSE MOURINHO? did he get fooled by the brand name too? so basically, anyone who comes back from an injury and does not perform well is now a torres.. people are so bright these days.. :clown: so u can predict falcao's 2nd season after his injury.. hmmm.. wow!!! you are a psychic!!! or i guess no player ever has had a poor year after an injury.. hmmm,, :clown: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
