Unsurprisingly he is benched tonight.

Cuadrado still in the starting XI.

[Sheva. 5,373]

And unsurprisingly Colombia were still shit. Falcao might be bad, but he's not their main problem. 1 goal in 4 games and barely any chances created is just tragic.

[Chelsea_firstlove 178]

Shit shit and shit, terrible signing.

[1chelsea 864]

How many fall did he get?

[Styles 9,790]

This is going to be such a shit signing. I can't believe it's going to happen.

To disregard Costa's performances with his national team is one thing ; to disregard Falcao's performances with his national team is quite another. These are two distinct realities.

On the first hand, you have Costa that played only four games at that time : two before the WC and two during it. Four games is hardly a base good enough to judge a player. Furthermore, in his characteristics and his style of play, he is a ufo to the Spanish team and anyway Spain was not meant to play with a traditional striker. Plus, if I got that right, then there were only three players in the team that he ever played with (Koke, Juanfran, Villa), and it happened that they did not play when Costa did play (WC). And of top of that, Spain was in a huge crisis.

On a second hand, you have Falcao that has played some 60 games for Colombia and has scored I think some 25 goals. Adding to that the fact that the Colombia team led by him was said to be a team to reckon with at the World Cup, it is safe to say he is familiar with his national team, the style of play and his team-mates ; and that he was at some extent a success for Colombia and a major asset for the team as well.

Where there are/were all the reasons in the world to disregard Costa's performances with Spain — anyone knew it would be a failure before he even played —, there are many reasons to be worried in regards of Falcao's own performances with his national side. One might say that the Colombian team as a whole underperforms, although I really doubt it reaches the level of underperformance that Spain showcased. And even so, one can wonder why Colombia did a very good World-Cup without their star.

And anyway, there is a major difference. Costa was great before the WC — four poor games are not enough to shadow a great season — and he was good after. As for Falcao, he seems to translate his ManU form into his national team — there are few reasons to disregard his form with Colombia and he is most likely to hold the same form in the forthcoming season.

Im not exactly sure how can people be excited or positive about Falcao and Cuadrado...

Chelsea will this week complete the loan signing of Radamel Falcao. #CFC#ASMonaco (Mirror)

An agreement has been reached with his parent club Monaco and Falcao only the formalities have to be completed. #CFC (Mirror)

As part of Falcao's deal, 3 young players at Chelsea will move to the principality on loan to save #CFC from an annual loan fee (Mirror)

Among the candidates to move to #ASMonaco on a temporary basis are Isaiah Brown, Nathan Ake and Andreas Christiansen. #CFC (Mirror)

well is it Isiah or is it Ruben?

[petre.ispirescu 4,928]

well is it Isiah or is it Ruben?

Brown took a picture in France today and posted it an hour ago so they now speculate it's him going to Monaco and not RLC.
