Radamel Falcao

[The Mak 4,459]

Where are you getting these numbers from???

Common sense tells me he will not drop his almost 300k salary to anything below that.

It's irrelevant anyway. I don't think he's worth anything, so I'm not getting into pedantics with you.

[LDN Blue 7,903]

This would be a terrible move after all the good work that has been done over the last 4-5 years.

Remy >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> current Falcao, but I guess Remy isn't a sexy enough name for some.

Exactly. We've finally had a good spell of smart, value for money, well scouted transfers and this one alone could undo all that. Costa, Fabregas, Hazard, Oscar have all come in and shown what smart transfers can accomplish. Ability > Name.

Are we really going to say NO to this guy?

he used to bang better goals with his weak foot than most of the strikers do now with their preferred foot

so did Torres

Torres in his prime was all about pace, he's never been a great technician. I can't understand why people still compare these two players, they are so much different. First of all we ain;t gonna pay 50mio pounds for him and he'll come as a 2nd or 3rd striker.

Falcao to Boro

[!Hazard! 3,394]

I think this would be very smart move if he agrees to decline his wages to Diego Costa's levels. Costa-Falcao-Remy would be fantastic for next season, it would able us to play with two quality strikers in some matches and signing Falcao might not always eliminate Remy's playing chances as Mourinho has played him as a winger in some games and might continue to do so next season. Signing Falcao might therefore terminate the need for a new winger and instead our resources would be targeted towards another quality midfielder. The season after next when Falcao's loan is finished, we could give Bamford or Solanke the role of 3rd striker. Obviously, this would only be a short-time solution, and in the past two seasons with Eto'o and Drogba, those solutions proved to be quite successful.

I would still prefer signing Zlatan though.

Yeah, used to.

Just like Torres used to.

Falcao is still class. The United "system" LvG utilised was obscene, absolutely no place for an out-and-out striker in there. Stick Falcao in the Arsenal or Chelsea teams of last season and he'd have banged them in without an issue.

You don't become a bad player overnight. Torres didn't. It was a gradual process of one hopeless moment after another. He still had the odd glimpse of brilliance, especially under Benitez, but ultimately he was done for. People need to remember Falcao is the guy who kept Diego Costa out of the Atletico team and this time last year was one of the superstars to be missing the World Cup, which so many of us were gutted about.

Torres in his prime was also a great finisher even with his left foot, he also had great movment off the ball at Chelsea he was the complete opposite! i never knew an injury could take away your finishing ability and your off the ball movement.

Not to mention he never had a preseason with MU and didn't get consistent game time nearly all season.

Torres still managed 22 goals one season, in a worse team than today. I think falcao would be prolific here

22 goals in about 60 games.

Falcao is a talent, but I think AM believed they could sell Falcao & promote Diego Costa. In fact, I would argue that AM wanted DC to improve first before this transfer took place. They took their time & was awarded a lot of money for selling Falcao. IMHO AM benefited immensely by selling Falcao. Now do CFC need Falcao? I believe he would not fit in here. Are you sure there is no bad blood w/ DC & Falcao? Personally I rather keep Remy, who has shown he can do a shift at CFC & give a youngster (like Solanke or Bamford) that 3rd Striker spot.

[Rom2013 446]

I would have him here without a doubt. He will be second ST, he is a huge improvement when compared with Drogba.

With him we can begin the game with 2 ST when needed, he is the kind of player we can change the system sometimes to have both ST on the pitch.

United was a mess, and they had 3 world class ST, any player would have problems in there at that moment. We are different, we just have 1 world class ST he will have a good chance.

I think this is the continuation of the great deales we are doing in the last 2 years. Buy or take on loan a player that was world class, that would accept a secundary role, for a lot less money than he would cost 1 or 2 years ago.

If Drogba could do it , Falcao that is 10 times better than him today, can do it also.

[RoyalBlues 4,050]

In my opinion, Falcao will be useful in our defensive counter attack system when away, which Remy not fitted to do it when Costa unavailable last season. So, I would welcome him here and looking forward to it.
