Falcao

[LeTallecWiz]

Marca is running with a story that it's in advanced stages ...

55 million euros ...

Manure.

 

[Irish_Red]

Bye bye Ronney then.

 

[Hansern]

I call BS

 

[Sunny]

I call "my arse"

 

[Red Astaire]

Bollards.

 

[OLD_Lewy]

i hope so, them pumping more money into strikers they dont need rather than midfielders and trying to fix their shitty wings is fine by me

That strategy has worked out for them pretty well this season, hasn't it?

 

[Mors]

I call bullshit. They're obviously not going to go for 5 strikers on the books, and I can't see where rooney would seriously go, there's only a few clubs that could afford him, and I can't see him fitting in at any of them.
I still think Falcao will be off to chelski.

 

[hmmmmm1]

Hope it's BS, he out Rvp have the potenial to be an outanding partnership

 

[The Slugmonster]

One of the lads said to me the other day that its hard to imagine Rooneys diet consisting of anything other than burgers and chips. It was funny.

 

[ILD]

Rooney definitely nips to the chipper for two battered sausages & curry chip after every training session. You know when you're starving and start eating it in the car as your drive home cause you just can't wait?

 

[Cerberus]

Would Falcao and Van Rapist compliment each other though? Don't they the both "lead the line"?

 

[cloggypop]

I think Rooney has a lot of pasta in his diet . Mainly spaghetti hoops .

 

[Rafiagra]

Will be a major show of strength by the Mancs if they pull this off. You forget they're the most valuable club in the world on the basis of their recent transfer activity.

You would have to imagine its very frustrating for him to make a beeline for the chipper straight after training every single day only to find Anderson ahead of him in the queue every time, his positional sense in the chipper is world class, always knows when to make his run

 

[Scotino]

Balague says they've already made a down-payment, like they did in the De Gea deal.

fuck's sake.

 

[Red Astaire]

*Puts £50 on Rooney joining PSG*

I'll be sick if he goes to United. He's a beast.

Radamel Falcao's brace against Granada moved him onto 200 career goals. 'El Tigre' made sure of the three points after Diego Costa had put Atlético ahead. The Colombian's first, to make it 2-0, was served to him on a plate by the Brazilian, who had himself latched onto Cristian Rodríguez's wonderful slide-rule pass from deep.

The second was supplied by Koke's cross and allowed Falcao to equal last year's league tally of 24. He has also notched two in the Spanish Cup, one in the Europa League and a famous hat-trick in the UEFA Super Cup final in Monaco.

All this means that 'The Tiger' has now hit the back of the opposition net 30 times this term, putting him just six goals from his haul in his debut season for Atlético. He has eight games left in which to reel in this total: seven in the league, plus the cup final at the Santiago Bernabéu.

The Colombian has also moved level with Kiko and Irureta in the club's all-time goalscoring charts, putting him 19th overall, despite this being only his second campaign in Madrid.

Against Granada, the pairing of Falcao and his partner-in-crime Diego Costa was once again simply too hot to handle. The duo has dominated the Atlético goal stakes in recent months, notching 17 of Diego Simeone's side's last 20 strikes (nine for Costa, eight for 'El Tigre').

Simeone was quick to praise the Colombian. "We're delighted that Radamel is back in the goals", the Argentine said after the match.

 

[Hansern]

fuck's sake.

Are we suddenly trusting Ballbag now?

what I think of every time I hear people say chipper

wouldn't mind seeing Rooney and Anderson thrown into one of those

 

[Silver Sean]

Yeah, if they had that sorted they'd run away with this league, oh wait...

 

[LeTallecWiz]

Hopefully this is true ... Keep him away from Chelsea, City and Manure:

La Sexta, a TV station in Spain, have reported one of the most incredible transfer stories for some time: Atletico Madrid striker Radamel Falcao has agreed terms on a 60 million euro move to Monaco.

First off, it should be pointed out that La Sexta do not generally make up mad claims (according to the always awesome Sid Lowe) and this is a reliable source.

Secondly, Monaco are on the verge of promotion to Ligue 1 in France and have a fantastically rich owner in Russian billionaire Dmitry Rybolovlev.
Their low tax rate combined with huge financial resources have meant they are tipped to challenge PSG next season and many clubs in Ligue 1 are urging rules changes for a fairer system on player wages.

The rumours tonight suggest Falcao has agreed terms on a deal with Monaco for 10 million euros a season and that Monaco have triggered the Colombian’s release clause at Atletico Madrid of 60 million euros.

 

[Hansern]

Monaco have been told they need to move by the French Fa due to the new financial regulations and tax increase.

Whatever the outcome I'll be amazed if Falcao moves there. Better Monaco then Chelsea or Utd mind.

Imagine that we could have signed him for 3 mill......

 

[Dreambeliever]

Well it doesn't really concern us if he goes to utd they'd wouldn't fighting for 4th place.

 

[King Binny]

According to Spanish Television channel 'LaSexta' Atlético Madrid's star striker Falcao will be playing at Monaco next season in the French 1st division (the club are currently in the 2nd, but closing in on promotion). The key to any transfer lies in the owner of the club, Russian businessman Dmitry Evgenevich Rybolovlev, who is looking to invest 200 million euros in his team next season. Falcao would be expected to earn 10 million tax free at the club, according to 'LaSexta'.

This newspaper published in April that one of Monaco's priorities was to sign the Colombian star. The main stumbling block to the operation is that, even if the striker is earning three times as much at Monaco as he currently does at Atlético, his new club will not be taking part in any European competition next season.

 

[6TimesaRed]

Suarez is going the other way apparently..

Part of the money raised from the Falcao deal will fund the Suarez deal

 

[keniget]

Why would Suarez go to A.Madrid?

It's a sideways move regardless of them being in the CL.

Is the rumours doing the rounds,

If he was to move, to play Champions League footy. Now is probably the best time to join A Madrid as both Barca & R Madrid will be in transition
