Just said he'd see out the season with Atletico.
Definitely going to Chelsea in the summer then...

Radamel Falcao Garcia
- Thread starter Diver
- Start date
Seems pretty inevitable, the longer he takes to arrive is a bonus at this stage.
AS are apparently saying that Enrique Cerezo has said that a deal has basically been agreed for him to go to Madrid.
He's now denying that he's said it, of course.

A bit of a poisonous move that? Athletico Madrid > Real Madrid. Falcao will get rightly abused from the A.Madrid fans.
Nevertheless, I do wish the gap between Madrid and Barca decreases just so it can continue being an interesting league (this season, not so much as it seems Barca has already won). Falcao joining would make them....enjoyable to watch definitely. I do wonder though if Ronaldo could handle it if he sees Falcao being the main man for the team.

feck the big two. I hope Atletico can make the push required to win La Liga.
If he does go to Real I just hope it's in the summer after we play them.
A front four of Ronaldo, Falcao, Ozil and Di Maria against our current defence is a scary thought.

This!
He's already said he's not moving this season. Also, after playing in the EL, would he be able to play in the UCL?
He has already played in Europe this season.
No he hasn't.

Also I believe the rules are that a club can register one player who's played in the Europa League for the Champions League in January or vice versa unless it's a case where one of the teams played in the Champions League but dropped down into the Europa League, which doesn't apply to the Falcao situation.
i'd rather him go to madrid than any of the top sides in the PL. one thing's for sure, we aint buying him.
Obviously Ronaldo's goal scoring replacement for when he comes back to United. 
Falcao: Only Rennes' Pitroipa (98) has lost the ball due to a poor 1st touch more times than Falcao (81) in Europe's top 5 leagues this term
His all-round play was never amazing IMO, but this stat is too much for a top player.

Doesn't really tell you as much as it looks on the surface. A lot of those touches could be from long balls smashed up to him and having to bring them down. He is often stranded up front for Athletico in the matches I've seen this season. It is still a large amount but his first touch has never looked extremely poor when I've watched him.
On a side note he really has been quite underwhelming since Real Madrid got their act together and started to catch up with Athletico. Started the season in blistering form, the highlight being his hat-trick against us, then has tailed off recently. Doesn't offer much to the team if he isn't scoring goals.
What kind of Ihni binni dimi diniwiny anitaime creates a stat like that?
He hasn't been in good form since his injury at the start of the year. Looks a little tired and short of confidence. League, Europa and International matches are bound to take their toll eventually.

Bookies make Chelsea odds on to sign him now.
What do we think?
On a side note, he's lost a fair bit of form since his injury this season.

I reckon we'll get him.
It would be a dream to get him. But lets be realistic here.
We don't need Falcão. He's broken anyway. And a mercenary, who's past his prime.
How much are we paying this dude
You were bang on mate
Heh. Just as well us caftards are capable of appreciating what a great striker can bring to the team even if their first touch is a little inconsistent.
Oh wait...
The OP is prophetic...
Should we not be posting in the other Falcao thread? He's our player now.
