Radamel Falcao

[Magic Lamps 11,668]

Honestly I would be more excited about Torres leaving than Falcao joining, but it would be agreat deal, cos Atleltico is probably the only club for whom Torres still has some value, so we should in any case try to sell him to them.

Torres + cash may make sense from a Chelsea point of view, but it would make no sense for them. Why would a club with such crippling debt accept a reduced transfer fee for their most prized asset, in exchange for a player who has shown every sign that he is way past his best, and would command wages that Atletico would be stupid to accept going forward.

Not to mention that it looks like Atletico have got Leo from Rayo who has a release clause of just 8m euros, and has the upside of a world class forward if he continues at the rate he's going

[Pizy 18,411]

I actually think Torres would flourish back at Atletico. He'll never be back to his old self but he'll be home and god knows its way easier to score in Spain so that shouldn't be a problem for him.

[Special Juan 27,439]

I really like Falcao but I have reservations about another massive fee for a striker. I think we would suited more to a Lewandowski type player. Robert is a brilliant striker and offers a lot in his area.

I dream of Cavani because I think he is the complete forward, but he would cost the earth.

Dont Fuck about FALCAO !!

Well that means we can give Lukaku a chance in our own team rather than loaning him out. Also our midfielders are scoring enough goals to win us the games so just sell Torres and promote Feruz to the bench and give him some match time as well. We already have the Predator Ba waiting for opportunities so buying a striker who would cost less but and the urge to develop and prove himself in the Premier League would be a better option.

Wow I need people to post that watch this guy week in week out, admittedly Ive only done so this season bar a few games due to me messing up my times but I posted this elsewhere too, we buy players that are good at X and Y, yet chelsea strikers are expected to do Z.. What do I mean? We tend to buy players that are good at something then expect them to play differently to what made them good/great..

Falcao doesn't bring enough to the team, 'yes we will change our style' ok that's fine but I'm judging it on our current squad plus loanees and he still doesn't fit the way we play..

[BlueLion. 21,491]

^ agreed. I think Cavani's style of play would be more suited to us. Both are relatively decent at holding the ball up, but the Napoli system is based around counter-attacking and with our playmakers that is the most-similar style to the way that we operate.

This guy is extreme? Watching him now

Not only a brilliant finisher but he's extremely hard worker and his passing is pinpoint

He must be having a really good day. That's not normal for him I don't think.

Still can't believe people want to spend 50m on Falcao. We could buy 3 good central midfielders for that amount.

[Mufassir08 2,400]

The amount of penalty goals he scores is incredible i hardly see him scoring goals from 1v1 positions(except for his goal against barca and in the super cup and thats about it) its either penalty,tap in or header(he is very good at heading though).

[martinzynd 1]

well, i guess it isn't going to happen now

[Sovieticus 743]

Lukaku can do headers too. Hazard can do penalties. Torres(oh god..) can do tap-ins as well, but we don't need him so let's just say Lukaku can do that too. So we do not need Falcao really.

The amount of penalty goals he scores is incredible i hardly see him scoring goals from 1v1 positions(except for his goal against barca and in the super cup and thats about it) its either penalty,tap in or header(he is very good at heading though).

And the penalty-box-poacher is exactly what we need.

How many times has a cross been fizzed in, and Torres has been sorting his hair out on the half-way line? How many times have shots rebounded off the the keeper, or off defenders, only for no-one to be following up? A poacher in the van Nistelrooy mould is what we desperately need.

But you are doing him a disservice. His hold-up play is superb and outside the area he is as visionary as any forward I have seen. If he isn't scoring, he is creating. He has a special ability to play delicate chipped through-balls into onrushing midfielders, which would really work well with the likes of Hazard or Mata bursting through. His strength is also considerable despite his relatively short stature.

I'm not sure what Radamel Falcao you have been watching but you couldn't be further from the truth.

I disagree we need a forward with good skills somebody like cavani or lewandowski.I have watched atleast 15 games of falcao this season and not once i have comeback impressed by his play outside the box.Dont think i have watched falcao creating much for other players as well.If he aint scoring then imo he is not much use of to the team.
