Radamel Falcao

Seldom been less enthused about a major transfer

Ok - seems like a lot of people are getting confused with the Falcao deal.

Essentially this is like HP (Hire Purchase) - it's the same as buying a car

You can walk into a showroom and stick a few grand down (our €5 million) and drive away in a brand new car (Falcao joining us) - you are then committed to monthly payments (wages we pay him) at the end of the term (season for us), you have the option to buy the car outright at the agreed value, referred to as a 'balloon payment' (the €30 million Monaco are quoting) - or, you simply hand back the keys and walk out (you could also use any difference in the balance against a new car - that doesn't work here )

So it's a pretty normal 'deal' structure

I doubt very much that we are willing to pay that balloon payment so I expect a one season wonder. which is fine as other players should be breaking through from the Acadamy, or other targets will be more viable.

Ive been looking at us getting Falcao with a bit of a negative view. Ive just gone through a Rags forum reading their interesting comments on him. And while theres an awful lot of haters with their negative views there was also alot of pro Falcao also and they gave their reasons (not like the haters that just quoted the no goals comments).

They commented on how he never got any real playing time. How he never got any support from LvG, how he was used in wrong ways and not given support fron the AMs, how he needed time to settle into the premiership like DiMaria and Tevez, how he came back too soon from his injury, how LvG used him as a marker with him being far too short to be one.

There was alot of sensible support for the lad with comments like "if we decide not to sign him you watch it come back and bite us" and "just watch some other PL club sign him"

While I still do think at his age and it would be a gamble for us I do think that if ANYONE can bring Falcao back to how he could be its Mou. I just dont know if he will get the regular playing time he needs to get his mojo back.

That Utd forum, if it is RedCafe are quite fickle. Falcao a loaned in player has a bad season = majority called him all the names going,

Di Maria, at £57m also has a terrible season = Defended 100%

Now suddenly Falcao looks like being ours possibly, they're worried he will find form again. it's so fickle and annoying

Chelsea and Falcao have reached an agreement on principles on loan with option to buy. #CFC (Tancredi Palmeri)

[Special Juan 27,456]

Palmeri :confused:

[ChelseaFanUK 1,014]

Much as he chats shit, I'd not be surprised if he is right going by other various reports last few days. I'd wager good money the finer details before official announcement is what needs to be triggered for the permanent option to be enforced or whatever. X amount of goals, or X amount of appearances.

[RoyalBlues 4,050]

Palmeri :confused:

It's completed the puzzle. No deal could went away without Di Marzio + Palmeri + Daily Star reported it first.

[Unionjack 7,531]

Well he seems to be the biggest deal we have going right now. All the other ones are for young wannabes to fill the academy or send out on the loan merry go round. We need to be looking at some blinkin 1st team upgrades.

I see Pogbas agent has stirred the pot saying he could leave for the right price.

Cant we have a whip round?

Wont get excited until sky nigeria reports it.
