Radamel Falcao

He's wasted two years of his career. I think China will be calling

Thank you for that one header you scored sometime at the beginning of the season. Now no more washed up players, thank you.

Falcao:Chelsea FC player evaluations 2015/16

Quote

The story with Falcao is tragic. Having suffered from a major knee injury myself I truly feared he would never come back and return to the level he was playing at previously. Falcao was like Icarus and in many ways flew too close to the Messi-Ronaldo sun of modern football for it to last. He was on Chelsea’s radar for a long time and cemented our interest in him when he scored a hat trick against them in the Super Cup for Atletico Madrid.

He followed that up with a poorly advised move to Monaco in order to chase the money being passed out there before he suffered his knee injury. After a year warming the bench at Manchester United, Mourinho thought that, just maybe, he could bring Falcao back to his former level.Even half the player he was four years ago would have been six times the player he was this year. With Falcao I am mainly saddened. He was a pure joy to watch. I hope he can remain in football to some extent but it does appear that the lights have gone out in his locker.

He got like 200 minutes of playing time in his first 2-3 months at Chelsea then none. It's hard to say he failed here, just like Pato. They didn't get a chance to show their values.

They were both not fit. That was their main problem.

Reportedly they were not fit, yes. I highly doubt that Falcao was injured all season then started playing like this in August.
