Radamel Falcao

[Andrew M]

Porto are the ultimate profiteers. I know his high price is due to the inflated market, but 40 mill for Falcao? 30 at best, surely?

I still don't see Atleti succeeding this season. They are so flimsy at the back.....



Is this a record fee for Atleti, BTW?

So they ended up paying almost everything they made from Aguero on Falcao?! Epic fail, seriously.

He had a good season then a really good last season. He's good, not that good.

I'm gonna save this post.

Yes it is.

Epic fail indeed.

Is Falcao as good as Aguero?

What were they thinking??? They could have strengthened so many other postions in the squad...stupid Atleti tbh.

It could mean the Forlan is off to Inter.

He's scored a lot of goals in a WEAK Portuguese league. He has an impressive goal-scoring record and thats about it. He's more of a poacher imo with not really that many other qualities. He doesn't have phenomenal passing and he doesn't get his teamates involved too much either. As of right now, no he is not worth 40 million, especially to Atletico. They have a makeshift midfield and an overall pretty terrible backline. It's the reason why they've been struggling for years even when they had two world-class strikers like Forlan and Aguero. Falcao is a poacher...I don't see him scoring a shitload of goals when the midfield behind him sucks and isn't supplying him with shit.

They should of tried to get two proven, less expensive strikers and patched up the rest of the team with the little left over, funds from Forlan and whatever they got for their transfer budget.

They got Arda and Falcao now upfront....same shitty rest of the team.

Fail.

Falcao is the man. He's been a winner since he played for River, he's a complete #9. Only a poacher? That's not at all true.

Great business from Atletico.

Would love for him to play with Forlan, they'd compliment each other better than El Kunt complimented Diego, but that's looking unlikely. Between him and Osvaldo though, great business. Just like when they sold Torres they upgraded, they are doing the same with El Kunt.

Still AM midfield and defence still look damn pathetic to me.

Not sure how you can say he's a complete #9. Have you ever even watched him play, his goals?!

Almost every single one of his goals are either from a cross, corner or ground cross/pass along the ground infront of the net. That my friend, is a poacher. He just happens to be a really gifted one. He gets on the end of crosses with both feet and has an amazing header. He barely ever shoots outside the box (his shot is mediocre), or even inside the box for that matter. He doesn't ever really start something out of nothing and he isn't known for taking on defenders really well either.

He's a poacher.

You could argue about his tally in Portugal but Europa League?

He shined there like a boss.

jermaine defoe is a poacher, falcao is a number 9

Falcao is an awesome signing... Not a good business to invest all of Kun's money on him!? Kun is a great talent but a very inconsistent player while with Falcao you can be sure of goals every time he plays.

And don't say he hasn't got technique... There were times he played in hole, behind the striker, and shared the creative duties. So no he's not just a poacher, he is a good #9.

Apparently they are buying Ruben Micael too...

Arda and Falcao, they would be awesome buys

 

[mitkoa7x]

Reminds of Pipo Inzaghi, he is just briliant.

 

[impeh]

grabbed a hattrick today, and they come to us at the weekend..

He was inconsistent in La Liga.

But he just bags them in, in the EPL.

Interesting to see him next week.
