Radamel Falcao

[nadavTKL 1,787]

It's very simple logic, Falcao was poor 6 months prior to leaving Atleti and carried that form to monaco where despite scoring some goals was generally subpar and sustained a few injuries which forced ranieri to relegate him to the bench and the same thing happened at UTD. hence why I said this "subpar for close to 3 seasons" in my original post. meaning I acknowledged his first half form otherwise it would just be 3 straight season of poor form instead of close to 3 seasons. But you can carry on the narrative that falcao was only poor at UTD if you want.

You said "he was poor in his last season at Atleti before joining monaco", and people showed you are wrong, than you said "virtually all of his goals during that stretch came from penalties (last 4 months in Atletico) and i showed you're wrong about that as well.

How can anyone take this seriously if you just make things up?

And there were not "a few injuries" in Monaco there was one very big injury. He was never "relegated to the bench". Lies everywhere.

Then you contradicted yourself with (he was poor in his last season at Atleti before joining monaco) which to me means the whole season.

stats indicate that Claudio Pizzaro was the greatest striker import in the history of German league football,a better level of competition than the French league overall..does anyone regret him leaving us?

[Mechromancer 262]

He won the Treble.

[DYC. 7,542]

Falcao's second half of 2012/2013 (since January) - 14 goals for Atletico, 2 from penalties.

Falcao in Monaco - 11 goals in 18 starts, 2 from penaltis.

Where do you find those stats? That show how the goals were scored?

[Duppy Conqueror 1,494]

and Hilario "won" more trophies with us than Peter Bonetti..

I was just doing some 'dirty work' tbh.. got into ESPN and looked for the games he scored in.

But im pretty sure there are sites who show that.. maybe whoscored?

[Sheva. 5,373]

And that was in the first half of the season. How was his form in the second half of the same season?

I agree he was not as good as the 1st half of the season, but he suffered some injuries which usually fucks with a players form/confidence. I remember him having some bad matches like against Kazan in EL, but he still scored vs the likes of Valencia and Barcelona to close that season.

At Monaco he wasn't the real Falcao, but he was at least still scoring ugly goals before suffering a season ender.

Man Utd was where he was really shit. Especially the 2nd half of the season.

what on earth are you talking about??? he scored past Barca, Real Madrid, Valencia and Sevilla in the 2nd half of the 2012/13 season as well as brilliantly setting up Costa in the Copa Del Rey final.

[Mechromancer 262]

and Hilario "won" more trophies with us than Peter Bonetti..

Yeah, but he was important.. at some level.

Anyway, my point is: Maybe he not performed well in this team, for any reason, but he is good. And he proved that.

Well the worst part of this 'forced to permanent buy if loan succeed' is actually not the sum of money, but the thing that we will never give Bamford a chance he deserved. I won't say Solanke, because he is still very young, and by the time he is ready Falcao might be still here but have reach 32+ years old.

[BlueLion. 21,491]

People can say Bamford won't get a chance... no, he probably won't. Because we're Chelsea. Our two strikers are injury prone - would you want Bamford or Solanke leading the line in the Camp Nou in a UCL final? Falcao is class, he would be the best third choice striker in world football. He's had a bedding in period at a club where their system totally didn't suit him. He is designed to play in a Chelsea-esque system. Jesus Christ, I can imagine him having more of an impact than Costa. The bloke is a brilliant, brilliant forward finisher who only needs one chance. Magnificent in the air as well, despite his size. Would love him to wear our number 9 shirt.

[LondonsFinest 692]

I am yet to question why do you bother with lionsden's posts and what he generally supports in Chelsea. I have never seen his posts in our good wins, only in narrow wins and losses, where he is slagging tactics. I don't know if you are doing for the pride of the lonely wolf, but it is pathetic if you ask me.

On to Falcao. I seriously think we'll see him coming and Remy being more of a RW/ST third option. Only reason that could change is with Griezmann. I think we need one WC signing to lift us a tad up.

You're right

I don't see many penalty goals at the end. Looks like the whole thing was made up.

Plus this suggests that he was VERY consistent from January http://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/falcao/leistungsdaten/spieler/39152/saison/2012/plus/1#ES1

[Chelsea Legend 11 4,062]

No. only first half of the season form counts

Put it this way if our third striker (in this case Falcao) gives us half a year of greatness we're in a good position.

[quickpassnmove 924]

Falcao... IDK why Chelsea would bother.

Benteke, new box-to-box CM, star fullback. sell: Moses, Mikel, etc. and maybe find a winger to buy, but I don't see where that winger is coming from.

[Chelsea_firstlove 178]

Tevez is better.

[milka 3,349]

Tevez is a red whore .

Maybe can try to buy Dybala but Falcao is a top player .
