Radamel Falcao

[Special Juan 28,100]

He fucked off to the French league because he's a greedy bastard. Now with the loan to United it seems he is angling and wanting to be at a top side again in one of the top leagues.

Like the kid who skips school but wants to sneak back in for his favourite lesson.

Didn't read up on him at all, didn't see any matches of him this year, but my gut feeling says he'll become Torres the sequel if you buy him now.

I think the signing, on loan, Falcao would be perfect for us.

He has already made clear in recent weeks that this recovered from his injury and his main problem is Van Gaal, a very stubborn man.

I remember Diego Costa is playing with caution for his injury in the hamstring, and he can not play two games a week.

Remy is a great player, but he has not shown to be well physically.

As for Drogba, I think it would be very unfair to demand Didier something more than it has already given us. He may be important in big games in defining moments, but to a hypothetical injury of Diego Costa, we may suffer too much,

I think Falcao in serious loan perfect because he is a pure striker Pure centre, capable of scoring goals without him having a lot of space, the would ask not always be in the starting eleven if he plays regularly, he knows perfectly Diego Costa and they they can play together.

He is 28 years old and many great players have had major injuries and recovered to take back their high level. And Falcao has such great winning mentality and sure that he only thinks again be a TOP player.

Now the Real Madrid already this pose immediate signing this market in January, otherwise it is now, they will return to try their loan in summer, for sure.

I share your fears to repeat again the signing of Torres, that would be horrible, I did not want to imagine it, but Torres has never been even half of the player who has been Falcao. I think Falcao can not compare with Torres. TOP Torres never been a player, Torres was only a pseudo-great player, a scam that he looked great because he played for Liverpool, and in Liverpool is easier seem a great player.

Falcao is a different player, and if we have in our team both players Diego Costa and Falcao, we may rotate them both and avoid injury all season long.

I understand and share those fears after the nightmare with Torres, but Falcao is another type of player with an immense winning mentality.

He's made it clear he's recovered from his injury? Why would he say otherwise and decrease his market value as he's on LOAN. Falcao has to say all the right things in the public media no matter what.

It's because lvg is stubborn? No its most likely due to the fact that he's not performing well in training and not doing the business. A coach sees day in day out let alone the potential muddied loan deal that was struck, who knows if they have add ons and bonuses attached to the loan deal? Nobody knows that until the end of the season.

Right now he looks like a shadow of himself. When I watch him in matches do I think he is currently worth a big transfer fee as Monaco are not mugs despite some potential money issues, no he's not. Do I think he justifies his enormous wages to consider taking him on a loan basis? Nope not even half.

Not a big believer in loan deals, never feel like you get the players full attention.

[MrBlueGuy 1,552]

Looking back so glad we dodged this bullet, no wonder no one was interested in him...£285k per week and 10m loan fee + 40m for permanent. The Atletico version is gone for good, replaced by a look-a-like with same facial expression but a fraction of the ability.

This message was to answer DH1988. Sorry, I forgot to give "Quote". I agree with you on many things that you say, it is a very quite understandable reasoning. I agree that the operation of Falcao could be very dangerous for us. and I do not believe in the policy of loans for our team (loans only for our players on other teams, I think).

But I think the risk of the operation of Falcao would be very mitigated this risk if the operation is not a permanent transfer and if a loan for a year or two (one full season and half of the current season). I think if we get to Falcao on loan by that time and we have a clause for its final signing if we want (for a reasonable amount), I think it would be an interesting operation. If in the summer of 2016 we definitely do not want to sign Falcao, we may reject your final signing. Right now, both Monaco and Falcao are not able to be demanding in a hypothetical negotiations with us, because the president of Monaco does not want to invest money and he is by dismantling your computer, and also Falcao has created many doubts about their performance . I think we could get a good price if we get to Falcao on loan and we pay your salary only (not the loan would cost us anything because they no longer want to have Facao).

Regarding Falcao and if he may be lying about their true physical condition to get make a big deal, I'm quite sure that Falcao would never do this. I have read many interviews Falcao and many reports on television with and about Falcao and he is a profoundly honest person. Last summer, with all their country (Colombia) willing to wait for him even if not fully recovered from his injury, even Falcao train with Colombia until the last day to announce that players went to the World Cup, he was honest and acknowledged that no I was fine and that he preferred to another colleague was finally to the World Cup in place, which means for a player to miss the World Cup. Falcao could have lied and have played the world without being fully recovered from his injury just to earn more money in terms of advertising and merchandising (Falcao is one of the players with more commercial impact of all South America). Falcao was honest and he lied to anyone. I think he is someone whom we can trust if we want to get his loan.

In addition, severe knee injuries have a total recovery time of 12 months and it's been a year since Falcao was injured in Monaco, and he is a very committed player regarding the care of their physical condition. I think from now will see a much improved Falcao in the physical aspect. He perhaps did too much effort getting to play the World Cup. This physical wear maybe he has too overloaded and at the beginning of this season he has played at times looking like a robot with his physical condition quite rusty.

But I think Falcao month has been shown to have recovered pretty good performance, improving slowly (I put videos on this thread of his last games). I think from now on its performance will again be as in the past.

I think his main problem is Van Gaal. This man is always very stubborn, with a very checkered mind and very uncompromising. He has struggled in Spain, Germany and now in England (he also had problems with his personality coaching Netherlands).

Jose Mourinho is different, he has coached in four countries with four different cultures and Jose has been successful in all these countries (Champion of the league and cup in the four countries, he has come to Semifinals Champions League with four different teams four different countries and has won two Champions League with two different teams in two different countries). I think Falcao may be suffering problems of adaptation to the Premier League (the rhythm of the game in England is very different from the pace of the game in Spain or Portugal). I think he would get a better understanding of the Premier League with Jose as coach, as he has done this year with Diego Costa.

And regarding his move to Monaco, Falcao never wanted to play for Monaco, but its federal rights belong to Jorge Mendes, Falcao does not decide his future, decides Jorge Mendes. He wanted to join Real Madrid, but Jorge Mendes preferred to first take him to Monaco (2013), and he following year (2014) Jorge Mendes pretended to take him to Real Madrid and the way Jorge Mendes made money thanks to the percentage that he charges per signing. Jorge Mendes has only thought about your business and not on Falcao.

I think that this month we have the opportunity to get a player who very recently was one of the best strikers in the world. He is very young still, he only has 28. If he had not been injured, I'm sure Falcao would be now playing at Real Madrid with Cristiano Ronaldo and Gareth Bale. Florentino Perez is very intelligent and he is already thinking about signing Falcao for next season.

We must seize this opportunity. Falcao and Diego Costa are perfectly compatible in our team. Diego Costa plays better with spaces and spaces Falcao not need to make a goal. Your loan would give us the possibility of having a striker for each situation according to our competitors do every game.

I think we have to seize this opportunity.

Regards.

Sorry if I insist too much, but I think Falcao is recovering his best performance. He has 5 occasions very simple of goal and he does not make a goal, it is true, but he generates many occasions. Perhaps the fact that no target Falcao goals is because he has his sagging morale, and surely that is because of Van Gaal.

I see a Falcao generating occasions, he fights all over the pitch, and he helps his teammates. Often for strikers goals are like a pot of ketchup; Sometimes it does not appear however much you try, but after they come all at once.

I think training every day with Jose, Falcao probably benching security in itself and he would return to be the big centre forward he proved to be before his injury a center forward with great killer instinct to get the goal. Falcao is always well placed on the pitch and in the box.

I think his problem is anxiety, he generates a lot of chances of gol but did not have the comfort needed to make a goal.

I leave the video of his match of today.

They faced one of the worst defences in Europe, though... Every team has at least four or five huge chances (goals not included) against QPR week-in, week-out.

Looking back so glad we dodged this bullet, no wonder no one was interested in him...£285k per week and 10m loan fee + 40m for permanent. The Atletico version is gone for good, replaced by a look-a-like with same facial expression but a fraction of the ability.

Dude, I remember you this summer as being the main guy on this forum telling everyone we needed to sign Falcao. Some including me told you that his wages were to high and his loan fee was outrageous, and that he wasn't the same Falcao as in his Atleti days and you even got angry with me and others when we said these things.

If by saying "glad we dodged this bullet" you mean you didn't see the bullet coming and are glad you dodged it, you've seen the light I'm happy you did. If you however mean "no wonder no one was interested in him" as "it was so obvious he was going to flop" then I'm sorry for you but you've completely did a 180 to how you thought just a few months ago or so...

Actually Falcao for 25-35m is better than Costa at 32m

Posted by MrBlueGuy on 29 August 2014

What, you are afraid that Costa won't be happy because he won't be the main man if another player as good or better than him arrives?

We just now found a striker with goals in him after nearly 5 years without. Barking up the wrong tree trying to sell a hard-working, (relatively) old, post-knee-op, outrageously expensive striker who can't score. Not only that, but the whole confidence-based striker who gets hurt feelings and can't score under a particular coach...nah. No one here has time for that.

4 years trying to tell ourselves that Torres linked up play and worked well off the ball but didn't work cuz the "system."

No más.
