Man City will never sign Falcao unless they are planning to let Balotelli and/or Dzeko go, and if they are willing to bench either Aguero or Tevez which I can't see happening.

It's hard to move balotelli but Dzeko is definitely movable and I don't mind us signing dzeko, he can give us different option at striker (Target man)

People will try to justify and get excited over anything. We could sign a balloon and some people will be like "that balloon once scored for sunderland against liverpool, it will return to form.

All that stuff by Mourinho about earning your time on the pitch - never a bigger indictment of it as total BS than having Falcao get more minutes over Remy.

I'm more worried about players like Ramires who can't pass a ball than Falcao.

Falcao, like Hazard, is an intelligent player and will make the decision best for him personally. Chelsea do standout but having said that the guy is the best striker in the world. Still he will be competing with some world class strikers at City. Chelsea still his most likely destination IMO.

Mancini wants to get rid of Dzeko that much is obvious and Balotelli is a difficult character so I could surely see him also wanting to dispose of Mario as well. Like I've said he wanted to sign RvP and now his next target is Falcao, if he ends up signing Falcao we need to make sure we got offers lined up for both Dzeko and Mario I think our main rival for both will be Juve.

We should definitely take Dzeko if Mancini is willing to sell to a title rival. Dzeko is the perfect plan B.

Yup we can match city on wages...

Plus we are playing better football, have a better recent history and are in London, not the fucking North...

That's a big swing in our favour!!!

Wasn't wages part of the reason why we ended up failing to sign Aguero?

I wouldn't be surprised if Falcao joins City for the money, they could easily offer him 200 - 225k a week.

Sort of. Aguero wanted very high wages and the club weren't prepared to pay wages that high for a player with no BPL experience. Ended up signing Torres for £10 Million more with exactly the same wages (probably even higher wages). Ahh, hindsight is terrible.

Actually we bid for him many times, atleti didnt want to sell but eventually we brought Torres. Then afterwards in next window he release statement on his website saying to leave. If we didnt have torres i know we would have aguero. having just brought torres though and having drogba it was too money much to put out on 3 wages.

I think Roman will push this transfer tbh very similar to the Torres, Sheva and (possibly) Ivanovic... wouldn't mind this but tbh I like the idea of us signing Dzeko. Hes a very all round player, target man, can run in behind, decent dribbler, great finisher with his feet and head. Yet again you could say the same about Falcao but I agree with what SeB has said that Falcao doesn't really create his own chances. Dzeko basically fired Wolfsburg to the Bundesliga title by himself a few years ago, scoring bucket loads of goals, some created by others, some created by himself.

At one stage a bid was accepted but again Aguero was stubborn with wage demands and the club was even more stubborn just not giving his wages. Both bastards. Somone like Aguero who came from absolute poverty; you'd think he would be lessy money grabby.

I'd imagine if Atleti were going to sell him we'd be in negotiation having tracked him for at least 4 or 5 years.

Maybe I'm wrong I can't find a source. Just millions of pages saying "Aguero joinging Chelsea".

Anyway...I want to move off of this subject because Aguero is/was one of my favourite players.

BACK TO FALCAO BEFORE WE ARE HIT WITH THE BAN HAMMER!

Yes they just rejected, i remeber 52 mill bid rejected :(

We cant let the same happen with falcao it will be a joke. hopefully we learn our lesson from aguero situation (even though this is different because they need the money).

Maybe if they but Falcao we will get Aguero? Or even Dzeko, I really like Dzeko.

There is something we agree on!

My only worry is that, if we do happen to sign Falcao for a hefty price, then Sturridge will be gone :cry:

Torres and Sturridge may not the best strikers out there...but both of them will score goals when given the opportunity. Torres is still a class striker & Sturridge has the potential to be a solid striker.

Sturridge has the ability to be more than just solid. He was scoring goals last season cutting in from the wings and mainly from distance. With this midfield behind him, hes going to have no problem getting better chances through on goal, and if there is one thing Sturridge can't be criticized for its his finishing. Powerful, precise and clinical. Hes also got a great touch on the ball. Like I said in another thread, the only thing that might be hampered with Sturridge up front is the link up play between the solo striker and the three amigos (Mata, Oscar and Hazard), since Sturridge isn't the best passer. Once again though, he just turned 23, he will improve on this if given time up there.

I seriously don't think we need a Falcao. If we're going to get any type of striker I think it should be someone like Dzeko; a target man.
