Radamel Falcao

[HD3D 1,038]

remember people slating Costa after his world cup performance?

Except Costa had a shit world cup but a fabulous season. Falcao had a shit season and is having a shit Copa America.

[Ainsley Harriott 2,732]

This transfer is only on the cards because Mourinho's agent is also Falcao's agent.

It's a terrible deal aka the kind of deal we supposedly no longer entertained.

Unfortunately this is true. Most people have a very wrong idea of Jorge Mendes, he's as shady as they come. Not to mention that Remy >Falcao atm.

[Polo7 3,496]

Yeah Costa had an amazing season, but he got the same reception Falcao is getting now. Its easy to play football manager.

So you think the agent has said to José "sign falcao", José has said no and the agent has pulled rank and said you will sign him.... because im both your agents. And then roman and the gang have all gone "yeah fair enough, that'll do"? Does that seem like the sort of thing that would happen

No. People only questioned him because we had generaly poor striker record for years.

With Falcao, people doubt him because he is just shit.

I dont know why people think Falcao will get to his best again. Torres would go to his best if Mou knew how to do it. Its not like now that Mou will coach Falcao, he will suddenly become good. There is offcourse slight chance; but that chance is very small.

Falcao is big name, but shit player nowdays. Losing confidence, was injured, already 29. Unless we loan him for low wages, I would avoid this transfer by a mile.

and is having a shit Copa America.

lol after one game... priceless

@DiMarzio

It's really close the deal between @ChelseaFC and @AS_Monaco: @FALCAO on loan to Chelsea and #Pasalic on loan to #Monaco

@FabrizioRomano

Radamel Falcao agent and #Chelsea are in talks in these hours. He would arrive on loan by Monaco and Chelsea would pay his salary.

[Unionjack 7,531]

You know what. Ill tell ya summet. Last season I called Falcao a few unpleasant names and must admit most of it was because he was at United and how much Id wanted him to join us before. But Im coming round to be more on his side than before. And most of it is because of bitching and slagging off by alot of you lot.

If the lad comes out and hes wearing Chelsea Blue the last thing we need is us all getting on his case. Wait and see if the geezer fucks up while hes playing for US!

So C'mon guys. Lets all pretend we are downstairs at United before the game having some liquid refreshments, just lubricating the voice box. We know how much they love taking the piss about Mata leaving. Dont tell me we wouldnt go absolutely bonkers when Falcao comes on as a sub and scores! I'll start of his first song for us,I know the lyrics are going to be a toughie for some of us But the tunes hear if you haven't heard it already.

lol says the guy with sehva as his avatar...

Lol says the guy who fails to see the difference, which is huge. When we bought Sheva he was one of, if not the best striker in Europe. Falcao is a has-been for years now. Also, if you could give me one good reason why I should be supportive (or heavens forbid, enthusiastic) of this transfer, then I'd seriously like to hear it.

[Chelsea Legend 11 4,062]

I'm not too concerned. The whole reason why I was even remotely interested was a) because it's our third striker slot we're talking about(on loan at that) and b ) because I am intrigued at what our medical staff and Jose can do with him. Long way to go before I lose faith.

Because sheva was a 30m flop, whereas falcao is a 3rd choice loanee?

[HRiver 1,512]

Who cares even if he's third choice, I fail to see how a massive has-been like Falcao would suit this team or how he would help this team. What are you expecting from him exactly?

[Adnane 1,101]

Falcao isn't even 29 he's 32

[petre.ispirescu 4,928]

Except Costa had a shit world cup but a fabulous season. Falcao had a shit season and is having a shit Copa America.

How come he's having a shit Copa America when he's only played one match and hasn't had a chance to do anything?? Jesus Christ. Colombia was a shambles last night.

The similarities between this thread and the one we've had last summer are amazing, you people seem to never learn, although Diego Costa has proven that international form/performance means fuck all.

[Adnane 1,101]

Imagine, just imagine, José gives hum a full pre season after Copa America, proper rest and preparation with our medical staff, he starts at the Bridge on October against United and bags a hattrick.

This is the essence of football : dreaming big.

In fact, we dreamt so big with Torres that the bus was gone when we woke up.

Yea the bus...

[ChelseaFanUK 1,014]

Tomorrow's L'Equipe say it is done. 10m euro to loan with buyout option of 50m euro, official confirmation by Thursday

Okay, international form isn't important but what about his performances at club level then? It really isn't the same as Diego's case at all. The thing is, Falcao used to be good for Colombia as well so it's very worrying to see that he's struggling for them as well.

I watched a fair bit of him last season, and I don't think the situation is as bad as people make it out to be. He can still play, still get into the right spots, and still finish. LVG was running some whacky line ups out there, playing players out of position, and changing tactics up every second week. It is hard for a player who isn't in form, coming back from injury, and playing in a new league to get any semblance of consistency.

I'm positive he can still be a world class player. Yes, that good. It is all there, apart from the consistency and confidence. I'm sure we'll do everything to rectify that.

Utd had a squad of misfits. The worst time for Falcao to come to the Prem was after an injury on a team with no identity. He claims he struggled because Van Gaal played him out of position.
