Radamel Falcao

[Blue Armour 4,436]

Falcao can be a very useful signing if other strikers are leaving. With Torres' injury record its always good to have backup...

In fact I don't see the need for more than two strikers leaving, as its always good to have more options than without.

As for which players are going the other way, speculation might be pointless as anything could happen between now and end of August...It depends a lot on whether any club wants the player....

As for Falcao...is he more than an out and out CF? I mean can he occasionally switch to the wings and rotate positions with the front three...? For 4-3-3 I mean....

You're confusing the hell out of me now

what I said was, I suggested that Falcao be drafted in to replace the likes of Anelka and Kalou at the club because I felt they had a poor season.

Of course the rest of the squad had a bad season, I agree with you on that, that's not what I originally meant earlier though! That was the last thing on my mind

How can you be confused?

Your judgment is based on only one bad season.

Mines is over many seasons!

I agree. sheva played better than el nino but was only a victim of his hefty price tag and was held to the highest standards imaginable and also given his age and the fact that he was past his prime. The same cannot be said of Torres who has shown no quality close to the level of second rated strikers such as Odewinge, Gyan,DJ Campbell, wellbeck and sturridge for the past 2 seasons.

Yup. The problem with Sheva, was that he didn't fulfil the expectation made about him, mainly because of his price tag. But nonetheless, he wasn't poor...

Torres' case is different. He didn't show any quality or reason to nourish some hope. He even made Kalou look like a world class player.

The way Falcao played for Porto during an unbeaten season, I would say he was more than just a backup!

Can it Happen?

Can it Happen?

we are not writing off a 50 million signing after 6 months, dont be stupid

[magic weeds 446]

Its simple, of all the top European Clubs, where would someone like Kalou be? Nowhere near. Can u imagine Real Madrid, Barca, Man U, Milan Clubs bidding for Kalou? next to impossible, we have some shyt players that should be playing for Arsenal or Fulham, not Chelsea. period

No chance Torres will be sold, think about it. Where would he possibly move to?

This has shades of Jimmy leaving the club at about 32/33 , despite being top scorer for a few seasons running till Jose came along and bought Didier , who at the time was 26 ? Falcao , also 26.

Natural selection .

Edit: Just checked , he's 25 ..ish . There goes that soundbyte.

Torres is still pure class for Falcao.
