Radamel Falcao

[DDA 9,929]

They also had great seasons from Rio Ferdinand and in particular Michael Carrick. It's very easy to say RVP won them the league (and he was instrumental) but they had a good team with a good spine, unlike Liverpool and Spurs who both had 'match-winners' in Suarez and Bale respectively but didn't have good enough teams to breach the top four.

Ferdinand did have a monster season and Carrick natured into a semi world class player lool. Having said that though without RVP scoring volleys from every angle known to man they would not have won the league in my opinion.

If he comes without us overpaying like crazy, i like it. I was a bit hesitant considering he's going to be 28 next year. But just look at Robin van Persie and Ibrahimovic. These are his best years, and top notch strikers aren't knocking on the door every year.

What is funny though is people complaining that Falcao/Cavani for £50-£60m is too much while WILLIAN for £30m is nothing LOL. Willian isn't even in the top 15 wingers in the world while Falcao is probably considered the best ST in the world atm LOL.

You just got to realize that not everyone is gonna go for what they are worth. Are Willian that good he is only £2m less than Hazard who was on the nominated list for best player in the world this year.

[Mouri_Matic 560]

We bought Willian for £25m.

Still too much imo, he had proved nothing apart from those performances against us. But anyway the point is £50m or whatsoever is not really massively overpriced for Falcao considering the market atm, Higuain who is a much worse striker is £31m alone, Falcao who was named in Team of the year surely must be worth much more? Even Benzema was signed for around £40m and he was no where near as good as Falcao now.

Erm, not exactly. Reports then said we paid £30m for Willian..

this would be sick. sell demba ba which would help raise a few funds. maybe even kdb. that would maybe pay for half of falcao

Like Man United last season... that will forever be the example I will use when somebody bitches about my desire for us to buy a top Striker when we could actually do with players in other key areas!

My thoughts aswell, say for example Falcao played for us last season, the club world cup final for example he would buried that chance Torres missed while making sure he stayed onside for the 'goal' in the last seconds.

Crap performance, but world champions because we had a top forward.

We first need to try avoiding so much crap performances by signing a DLP, if we could get Falcao too in the same window? i wont be against it but i dont think its the first thing to do.

Falcao+Cabaye in January could be sweat actually.

Willian signing was utter BS. I somehow thought we only bought him to mess with Spurs. I don't think it would have made much of a difference having KDB and Moses in his place.

And I have seen average teams winnings titles just because they have a top striker...

But I have seen top teams with average strikers winning leagues. When teams work well together, the strikers start scoring automatically and suddenly look like world-class forwards. Lewandowski and Barrios were average strikers before they BVB started playing total football around them. Mandzukic is average, too.

Next summer the world cup will be decided between Spain, Brazil and GErmany, neither have a world class CF.

City already had Agüero last year and did win nothing.

A top striker is not a guarantee for a title but for 60m it should be. I agree, we should do better in that department, but now is not the time to react. We had the chance last year, but we stuck with Torres. We will need a good striker, considering our current ones won't be here too long and Lukaku is our only real prospect, but we won't buy one in Winter.

There are problems that are at least as urgent. We lack the last bit of stability, which JOse's teams normally have, which lost us the game vs BAyern, Everton and cost us vs WBA. We lack penetration, those ball through the lines in midfield. FAlcao would only treat the symptons but not heal the disease. For some that might be enough, surely not for Jose.

After all the time you have spent on this forum and searching football rumour mills you still bother to read givemesport and take something serious from their 'dribbles'.

[bushman 2,043]

The Falcao trauma is on, I read.

Apparently, Chelsea will be seriously considering an official approach in January.

Monaco = Russian owner, Chelsea = Roman = howdy pal.

Jose shares the same agent as Falcao = do me a favor, send Falcao my way, I read.

[Reddish-Blue 2,495]

Whats the point of signing Falcao?

We need to fix the midfield before signing a striker...

[kellzfresh 7,229]

We need to fix the midfield first, but i cant deny we are lacking someone to put the fear of God into opponents in our attack

January madness starts here!!
