Radamel Falcao

[Henrique 9,133]

This rumours came from Pipi Estrada, a spanish journalist. He said he believed Falcao was going to Real Madrid, but a respected source told him Chelsea already have a deal, and Atlético even received the money.

The other guy said he had and information that Chelsea was on pole position to sign him, but Pipi reinforced that its a done deal. Real Madrid is now working on Robbie Van Persie. Fans in one Atléticos' forum are saying they dont believe in Pipi.

Any Chance of being true?

Any Chance of being true?

One can only hope! If the Sturridge rumours to Liverpool are true then this is just more wood on the fire

Falcao odds dropping and rumors rife and now sturridge odds 1/9 with skybet I just hope that if we are selling to loserpool that we do have a replacement ready inline..

Almost would have believed it if there wasn't a RVP to Real part. Now I am convinced it's BS

Any chance this Pipi Estrada has a reputation of being reliable?

Please please let this be true.......

I really believe we will take this one.

I would love for us to swap Sturridge for Sterling!!

Him having a buyout clause means it doesn't even matter what Atletico want to do, doesn't it? Surely anything less than the trigger amount won't be enough

I'm not even sure Atletico own him. When they sold Aguero to City the transfer fee went to the tax man. Falcao has third party ownership I would bet they are the one's driving the deal through, his agent get apart of the deal too

[JDY 1,290]

The fact he didn't play a single minute in EL, makes me think they will sell in January.

Neither has Arda Turan, and a host of other important players have hardly featured in the EL. Wouldn't read much into it.

Guys, dont get your hopes high. I'm pretty confident we wont meet his release clause in the january market and Atletico wont sell him for less than the clause - that's for sure.

I'm pretty sure we will get another striker but Falcao is just unrealistic imo.

Too many things have to add up. Atletico might go to CL next season, we might dump out of top 4 (see it from his view), we need a buyer for Torres for this to happen, and we need to be willing to splash the cash on a striker which has failed many times before. We should change strategy and try a cheaper version. Maybe it will work better than these fantasy signings.

We don't necessarily need a buyer for Torres for this to happen, we just need a buyer for Sturridge and it seems to be pretty likely that he will be joining Liverpool very shortly. A move which would free up £65,000 per week in wages and a £12M transfer fee.

To be honest, I don't think Chelsea ever wanted to extend Sturridge's contract, whether we like it or not. A club would never let the contract of a 23 year old player that they had high hopes get to six months left. So £12M for Sturridge with only six months left on his contract, that's good business to be honest.

There is no RVP to real, he just said the dutch man is a target.

[DanishBlue 426]

Yeah, the sturridge deal would be good business for Chelsea. I just think that it would be a bad move not to sell Torres if we want to sign Falcao.

Torres is making too many complaints when he is not playing and he has a bad effect on the team like last year with Drogba. It wont be healthy for our team if we keep Torres and sign Falcao. Besides, he is too expensive in wages so the best move is to sell him if we sign Falcao. That's the only wise move imo.

Edit: otherwise we should play them both at the same time like RvP and Rooney.

At least they both speak spanish, so Torres can't use the language as an excuse

It would be sexy in Fifa 13 though...
