Radamel Falcao

[FabHazard 655]

What the fuck!!! How many strikers do they need? If that is the case we should immediately bid for dzeko or jovetic!!

[didierforever 7,349]

What the fuck???

It just cabt be

Caballero

Kompany

Demichellis

Managala

Kolarov

Clichy

Zabalet

Yaya

Fernando

Fernandinho

Silva

Nasri

Navas

Dzeko

Jovetic

Negredo

Aguero

They already have 17 non-HG players. And a perfwctly balanced squad. Why woulf they do this.

[Diego 433]

Its ridiculous what position does that leave Dzeko, Negredo and jovetic in? Surely they arn't going to be to over the moon about it

[Pizy 18,404]

Just makes no sense for them to even be thinking about him.

Your expensive signing last year Jovetic is finally setting in and scoring goals. Dzeko has been outstanding over the past year or so and was unhappy being a sub as it was. And then they have the best striker in the league in Aguero. Even if they got rid of Negredo that's more than enough.

[Diego 433]

Di Marzio is saying they're in the race for him, not that they're getting him.

Still think if he's going anywhere, it'll be Madrid.

Yeah just seen that, one of his English reporters is the one who said he was off to man city. Lot of reports have said real madrid turned him down so now his agent is trying to sell him the english clubs.

[laeth 527]

Very much doubt he's going to go to city. It makes zero sense.

[didierforever 7,349]

10-15mil cheeky bid for dzeko then?

[Diego 433]

I really do just hope he ends up at madrid and not in the prem, he really could do some damage in this league

[ulsterchelsea 3,221]

Cause sometimes you've got to have 5 strikers

[Namika 922]

A front two of Aguero-Falcao looks good on paper but I hardly see them shining together. A little bit like RvP-Rooney, they have the same movements, they both like to drop deep, etc... One of them would be restricted in his movements.

Falcao - Aguero

Nasri - Yaya - Fernando/Dinho - Silva

They would crush the little sides but against the big teams, they would suffer, Falcao/Aguero/Silva aren't known to be pressing machine and Yaya tends to forget to replace himself.

Nah I disagree. Falcao is more of a "stay on the shoulder of the defender" striker. A pure number 9 as they say - his best ability is getting goals with his finishing ability and off the ball movement. Aguero is a lot more rounded and his best position is actually 'second striker' - the one that drops a bit deeper and stuff. They would actually complement each other quite well but they'll lose that physical presence they get with Dzeko upfront.

Not going to happen though. City can't fit him in their squad.

We have definitely not the same opinion about him, of course he's no Benzema who does it all the time but he likes to do it. Remember pretty well some games against Real Madrid where he did it, actually in the Copa Del Rey finale, he set up the goal of Costa by dropping deep. He's a complete striker like Kun imo.

Of course he's more than just a poacher, definitely pretty complete as a striker but his technique and passing ability isn't as good as Aguero's is. I think Falcao's at his best when he's at the end of chances created, rather than linking up play constantly (which he isn't amazing at but he isn't bad at either). His strengths are his finishing ability and his off the ball runs but can come up with other moments of brilliance here and there. Sergio is more rounded as a striker. A pure 9 with a pure second striker I think. It would be an interesting combination.

[iseah100 5,612]

We should bid for Negredo if they get him. £16m?

[nadavTKL 1,787]

Falcao was congratulated by his sponsor, Gatorade, for his transfer to Real Madrid. Tweet removed 10 minutes later.

If this happens...I will be so fucking mad.

[nadavTKL 1,787]

They'll have even better strike force, but for me they still didn't improve their weaker areas (CB next to Kompany, and AM next to Silva).

They got Mangala. They have Navas too.
