Radamel Falcao

[Chelsea Legend 11 4,062]

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.

Hold on, didn't he score in the friendly for them? he's 1 in 2 since being with the international squad, not exactly a bad ratio.

It a goal from about 2/3 yards out, very easy. Apart from the goal he was very, very average to put it nicely.

a goal is a goal could be from 3 cm's out, he had to be there to score it right? So he showed he is still capable to find space in the box.

When a striker scores a goal that performance is elevated from shit/average to good. All you want him to do is take advantage of the chances he has and clearly he did that.

Having not watched either game I don't really have too much to say about his overall game but so long as in the stat sheet it says Falcao goal... not much to really nitpick about.

Posts about a player that say he's done really are boring. If Falcao does well, then we have a great striker, and if he's mediocre them we have a great 3rd choice.

With settled Costa and Remy and addition of Falcao, I feel this is the strongest strikeforce we had for some time.

not always mate - remember this?

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.

YES but wait until Mendes is going to help to bring someone big next. Di Maria, Griezmann, Laporte, Varane, Jose can pick who he wants. Small gain now, big gain in the future.

It's just a loan. I'm even happier now when Monaco take two youngsters to develop and offer them European football.

I was describing Torres as a very ordinary player before he joined Liverpool as well as while he was there. I say this to make it clear that I'm no apologist for the man but he has been unfairly criticised for missing that chance. The ball was played slightly behind his run and with so much pace that he had no time to adjust his shape. He gets a free pass on that one from me.

His performance for United is irrelevant as well. He was coming back from a nasty injury and that place was a mess, too. He was in the wrong place and only United fans will say he is finished just to defend their team. But the truth is that United was painful to watch as well, a coach that has struggled to adapt to EPL football (not really sure he is fully adapted now), fucked up tactics, a different line-up every week, players played out of their natural position and a squad filled with some bang average players that Chelsea wouldn't even look into their CVs.

RedCafe is a decent place, definitely better than RAWK, bluemoon or the Arsenal forums where delusion and bitterness rule those places. But like all the other fans, RedCafe members are biased as fuck when it comes to Falcao. Especially now that he is coming to Chelsea. Deep inside them, they know that there's chances this move can come to haunt them, but they still call him names and say he is finished. As a comparison, I've heard most of them calling Herrera "the most complete midfielder in England" and Blind "on the same page as Matic". Isn't it funny? Won't even talk about Depay, that thread is comedy gold.

€50m purchase option? Fuck off!

No chance will that happen.

[BlueLion. 21,491]

Purchase option is €50 million? What the shit?

[Fernando 6,490]

I thought we was smarter then this.

We are paying a bonus for this loan and have a big buy out.

I wonder if we are also paying all his wages....

BREAKING: Sky sources: @ChelseaFC agree deal with @AS_Monaco to sign Radamel Falcao. #SSNHQ

[DYC. 7,542]

Well, it's just an option.

Anyway, looks like it's a done deal. Hope he can contribute. I'm counting on Costa though. And I hope this doesn't mean Remy's leaving.

Wonder who's next.
