Radamel Falcao

[Reddish-Blue 2,354]

If we can get Falcao for 30 million, then I'd be satisfied.

Anything above 35 million isn't worth it, we can invest that money into our midfield.

yes , if we spend heavily on amazing midfielders then an insane expensive striker may not be necessary

I won't be convinced until he can hold up play, pass well, assist often, defend set-pieces & add to his work-rate." - I watch this guy almost everyweek, he holds up play really well... take my word for it. His passing isnt amazing but its average and the reason he doesn't assist much is because in his team he is the man ! This is Falcao's game in a nutshell, gets the ball passes it on and makes his way to the box. Because Atletico is a counter-attacking side... more often than not he gets the ball and all of his team mates are behind him. 9 times out of 10 he is the furthest player up the pitch for his team. Defending of set-pieces wont be a problem because his aerial abilities are fantastic ! His work-rate isnt great i must say.. probably the one area of his game that our no.9 is better at... but look at Messi, the guy is one of the laziest players off the ball (besides the odd occasion where he gets fed up and sprints back to get the ball) but he still delivers ! Falcao comes to life when he is in and around the box... thats what makes him such an amazing player.

That is a very fair assessment of falcao i must say!

Even Atletico's finances are quite dire, we are never getting him for that price.

Falcao is really a genius. It is quite understandable that people are afraid of him being overated due to the high price of him. But I must say he is the striker worthy of 50M pounds. Of course if we buy a player for such a high price we will concern. And I will not be trilled about it if that happens as well. Maybe there are some other very talented strikers that are much cheaper, but we may not be able to get another one as good as him. Buying him may not be the best choice for the club, but Falcao is surely the best forward we can buy at this moment.

you clearly rate Falcao very highly (being a fan and all), but Falcao would be too much of a bet for that kind of money.

I'd certainly be upset at signing Falcao for that amount of money because we need someone better than him. Because our rivals already DO have better strikers at their disposal: RVP and Aguero (Dzeko would go into personal preferences and characteristics).

Are you serious?. Let's put it this way: RVP, Dzeko, Aguero, Lewandowsky, Cavani,..... NONE of them would score as much goals as Falcao does in Atletico Madrid. That team plays like shit (yeah, they're in third spot, but playing like shit.... i watch them EVERY single week,) and still he manages to score regulary. I think people need to consider that too: Its not the same to play in United, Dortmund,... that in average Atletico Madrid.

I believe people underestimate him right now because he is not in the best form at the moment, but come on, would you have said that at the time he scored a hattrick against us in the supercup?

Nope. What about Cavani, who's currently out scoring Falcao (last time I checked anyway) whilst at Napoli who are arguably as "average" as Atletico?

I said it from day one, Falcao is an immense striker, has the most lethal finish in world football when on form but he doesn't fit in the style we're trying to implement here at CFC and frankly the money we have to offer to get him is too much. Cavani is a much better fit for this team and would be as expensive - frankly if we were to pick a big money striker I'd pick Cavani over Falcao everyday.

SWEET MOTHER OF GOD. I so wish, United get's falcao xD

Who need's Falcao? When we could get a better version of Bruce Lee?

ROBERT LEE WAN DOWSKI :wub:

oh damn i hope i won't flourish there!

Falcao: Only Rennes' Pitroipa (98) has lost the ball due to a poor 1st touch more times than Falcao (81) in Europe's top 5 leagues this term

[Pizy 18,409]

No way in HELL he'd go to United unless Rooney and one of Cheatcharito or Welbeck were sold.

That, and I doubt they'd feel the need to blow £45m+ on a player who plays in their strongest position after likely winning the league by double-digit points.

Laughable story.

Not surprising at all considering his play style. He constantly goes to beat the first man and often with a quick first touch flick on.

What style are we trying to implement?

[The Skipper 20,593]

What style are we trying to implement?

Certainly not the counter attacking style Falcao is thriving under at Atletico.

Surely if the rumors of Mourinho coming back is true, then it would suit Falcao style, no?

WAIT A MINUTE!!! you mean to tell me those two have lost the ball more than TORRES!

[The Skipper 20,593]

Well, Mourinho doesn't exclusively play counter attacking football. He'll play to the strength of the squad - our best players are Hazard and Mata, who thrive more in possession based football.
