Falcao is close to a move to #Chelsea and the player is hopeful of making an official anouncement soon. [PUNTO PELOTA]

Much rather pay a bit more for Benteke than take Falcao. Falcao is too much of a gamble. Benteke is 5 years younger and PL proven. Falcao was shambolic in the Prem this year. Plus we don't know Benteke's upside since he's only played for Villa post Belgium days.

Benteke was absolutely abysmal first half the season. There's no proving he wouldn't replicate that poor form here.

I'd be very happy if the Falcao deal is a loan. Costa, Remy. Falcao as our front three options is pretty mouth watering.

And Benteke is different from Ba how? Falcao will do better for us than United. United had one creative player on the wing, we have a shit tonne of creative players.

When's Copa America over?

Vialli: "Knowing how good Mourinho is at getting the best out of his players & Falcao is an extraordinary striker, they'll be even stronger"

Vialli: "Can Falcao play with or instead of Costa? I don’t know. But definitely the more great players you have in your side, the better."

When's Copa America over?

not 100%, but early July i think?

[Billy. 2,742]

If this happens i just hope Jose can get the best out of him, because he wernt that good at United, if we get the A.Madrid Falcao then we are onto a winner

When's Copa America over?

On the 4th of July, but Colombia might finish it earlier.

How is Falcao an upgrade over Remy? Falcao is a goal poacher but outside of that, he offers very little in buildup plays and that is something you can't say about Remy. He scores goals and links up with others in creating goals. It's almost criminal how Remy is underrated by some here.

if Falcao can regain some of his old form then he will be much more then a poacher.

[Pacquiao 1,834]

I tell you what, Remy is proving himself so much so that Costa needs to be right on his toes because Remy is shit hot for me.

not sure if serious.

[BlueLion. 21,491]

We'll have to buy LvG a nice bottle of wine for letting him have his troublesome bedding-in season with United already.

I would be happy with this transfer. High risk, high reward and Chelsea currently is in a fantastic financial situation.

On the side note, Monaco could be for us what Athletico was last summer if we decided to buy Kondogbia/Moutinho as well. Striker + midfielder and our transfer business could be finished again months before the deadline. Kondogbia would be a back-up for Matic and Moutinho would be a back-up for Cesc. Which do you guys think is more important to buy this summer?

[Unionjack 7,531]

Im not saying that Falcao is a bad player. And I do think that given time and regular games with a good manager he might get back to a good level but we cant afford to be the ones to take that gamble on him can we? If he was a few years younger and we could afford to take a year or 2 to bring him on then yeah lets do it. But we need a guy ready to fight now. We already have 2 strikers with injury problems do we need another? Might as well keep a 37 year old with no legs or lung capacity but with an enormous heart.

[Tomo 21,733]

Not get ahead of ourselves with Remy? More like people are just under-appreciating him despite having scored goals and put in the performances for us.

It's probably because he isn't fancy enough that people feel the need to discard him for someone with a bigger name.

There are players who do well for their national teams but not their clubs. Form at international level doesn't mean much if you can't replicate it at club level. Just ask Podolski, for instance.

Falcao is more risky than any possible deal we might be doing because of his form and injury in recent seasons.

Under appreciating him how? Some just think he is a decent option who will get us goals when he's needed, nothing wrong with that, and saying he isn't on Costas level isn't under appreciating him either.

That's one thing I've noticed about Chelsea on all forum's I've been on, any decent squad player fan's tend to instantly overrate and suggest shoe horning him into the first Xl, there was even times last season where some were suggesting giving Schwarzer a run of games as #1.

I would love to have Kondogbia or Moutinho. I dont see them as only back ups, but as the option for the games we approach more conservatively, the extra CM instead of Ramires/Mikel who usually gets picked in those games.

Remy might not be on Costa's level but he has proved more than adequate enough to lead the line when given the opportunity (mind, not saying he should be first choice). But yet, people think he should be moved aside for someone like Falcao even though the current situation shows Remy is in way better state and form than Falcao.

I want Falcao at Chelsea as bad as I want to bang Caitlyin Jenner.

So not at all.
