Radamel Falcao

[Django 83]

I'd be amazed if he signed in January. If this were to happen, whether it be City or us, I think it will be in the summer.

[TheCount 146]

Oh you think he's a little shit? Tell me how much you know him personally...

Why would i need to know him personally to not like him? i dont know any of the chelsea players personally, does that mean i cant like or dislike them either,

What a stupid thing to say. I dont care if he's mother teresa off the pitch on the pitch his antics enough are to call him a little shit.

[RamiCFC9 258]

One player won't make us champions but it will certainly help. He will still need the service

The service is there dude, the kalouda nightmare is over.

[Tricky 301]

i think that we should let mancity have Falcao and try to get Dzeco from them. He would be cheaper and already experienced in the premier league. Chelsea still needs that powerful force up front

Good call, save ourselves £40 million in wages / transfer fees.

[Tricky 301]

If this transfer happen ill probably celebrate more then winning CL, because with his coming we will need bigger cabinet for the upcoming trophies.

It's a sad day when someone celebrates buying a player more than winning a trophy.

Sign of the times, things ya see on here sometimes would make ya cry.

I love Falcao, think he's a brilliant goal-scorer. But if we were to go for yet another big money striker, I'd prefer Cavani. He's not as good a finisher as Falcao but he adds more to the team.

[TacticalBlues 2,817]

We have Oscar-Hazard and Mata feeding the striker.

Any striker in the world would thrive on that. Falcao is the best striker in the world, one of the best footballers in the world and one of the hardest working players in the world. He won't just score the goals in 5-0 games but will literally score in games deciding where the points will end up. I genuinely feel we're a Falcao away from truly going to the next level.

A trophy is just a piece of metal or whatever it is made of.While getting a human being who can almost 100% surely, bring you positive emotions week-in-week-out plus trophies is far better deal as far as iam concerned.Talking about gloryhunters.

Ever heard of a joke buddy? Although i do not agree with you at all.

But dude you should understand where people are coming from if they disagree with you. The UCL win is the most precious thing that ever happened to every Chelsea fan and nothing can top that and to say that you would prefer Falcao over the night in Allianz Arena is just crazy to be honest.

Lol! You're not serious.

You would be happy for our rivals to get Falcao and we get Dzeko?

That's like giving away a million quid for a tenner in return...

It's not OUR money, it's Romans, if he wants to spend it, I'm cool with that.

Don't quote FFP as that is easily circumnavigated...

We want to be the best, we should sign the best...

Chelsea won't pay over odds for Falcao.

Chelsea will not pay above €35 million for Atletico Madrid's in-form striker Radamel Falcao, a source has told ESPN.

Falcao, 26, has already scored 12 goals in eight Atletico Madrid appearances this season and has been dubbed 'the world's best No. 9', prompting a host of top clubs to race for his signature.

The Colombian could be the missing piece of the puzzle for Chelsea, with £50 million man Fernando Torres struggling for goals, but the Blues are not willing to pay over the odds for a player again and have set themselves a budget.

"Chelsea would go to 35 million euros but I don't believe they would go higher. The owner is fed up paying inflated prices," a source close to Roman Abramovich told ESPN.

"There is no way Abramovich will sanction such a price again, I just don't believe he will. Atletico paid €45 million for him, so I cannot believe they would sell for anything less."

Falcao has a €60 million buy-out clause in his contract, but Abramovich and the Chelsea hierarchy are acutely aware of UEFA's Financial Fair Play directive and any extravagant new signings would prejudice their abilities to persuade UEFA that are living within the financial rules.
