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.

This is going to be a mass rip - off + another flop. My opinion. #NotoFalcao #CavaniWalcottLewandowskiftw

The only way i can see anybody refusing to have Falcao join Chelsea is because of the price tag.

Footballing wise... the guy is a BEAST. You dont score 5 goals in one game but luck. You dont compete with Messi and Ronaldo in the race for the Pichichi by luck. Yes he is falling behind now but keep in mind that he was injured for 3 weeks and he plays for a lesser side.

Falcao is as prolific as it gets when it comes to strikers... 21 goals in the league from only 88 shots. Compared to Ronaldo who has 27 goals from a staggering 194 shots (yes Ronaldo takes free kicks) but that is still a massive contrast ! So far this season in all competitions this season he's scored 29 goals in 32 games.

You cant take nothing away from this lads ability as a striker.

I am sort of in a not to bothered situation about falcao though i definitely don't want him going to city.

My main problem isn't his price tag (which many have deemed to large... perhaps rightly so), or his age (which again links into his price, as he will have small resale value after a few years with us), or even that our current history of big name striker signings (FT and sheva) BUT mainly because that it could in effect see the end of Lukaku's future at chelsea. He has proven he is a great talent with a lot of potential and if we sign falcao, we can't expect to loan him for 2 more years then have him be a no.2 for a couple more years, as by then he would be 23 and really want to make a name for himself, so would be more likely (and rightly) to want to move. Theres no guarentee that Lukaku will be huge (he is size wise :D). But it comes a point where we have to put faith in our youngsters who have done well and shown promise. Use the money to get Mourinho, and sort out the midfield rather than in one huge purchase.

If he comes, i will be 100% behind him and hope he does really well. But there comes a point where you have to take a plunge in the deep end and trust your players. Give him a chance. If it works then we could have an amazing 20 year old striker with an amazing future as it would really pain me to see him slip through our hands and succeed elsewhere because we choose the short term option of buying falcao.

Why don't we first agree a deal for a new manager and let him pick a striker to sign?

Say we appoint someone after we agree a deal for Falcao, which who knows we probably will end up doing, then hes forced to play Falcao basically as hes the latest big name and big price tag signing.

I'd be happy to see Falcao at City, that way..we'd save the 40 million on a striker that we don't really need...and spend it on fixing up our midfield / CB problems.

Indeed, wasn't AVB appointed a bit late so he didn't have good time to do good bussines on the transfermarket? Hope they learnt from it..

It's the Hulk media circus all over again. I do feel that Lukaku will be brought back next season ( as well as De Bruyne); hopefully Roman has come to senses and sells the former goldilocks. Which leaves us with Ba and Lukaku, maybe looking at other alternatives e.g. Lewandowski.

I think Falcao is a great player, but I don't want the board to pay a lot of money for a striker, when we have great potential in our youth :)
