Chelsea in for Falcao?

I think there's something to this Falcao rumour. We signed one useless Colombian, might as well sign another to keep him company.

And Roman does like his washed-up strikers: Shevchenko, Torres, Eto'o, Drogba Mark 2. Why stop the rot now? Besides, it's official club policy to have an over-the-hill striker on the books.

 
Perhaps he's banging in the goals in Arkadiusz' Football Manager and FIFA teams, so he's made his father a small request...

People are saying it's fine if he signs because he's only going to play the drogba role as third choice striker.

This season drogba featured in more games than Costa. According to sky sports anyway.

At least drogba is a big bully who can give defences a headache with his presence. Falcao does not offer those characteristics and will be a f**king disaster IMO.

Would in no way feel confident going into a crunch PL game with Costa and remy injured, knowing that we had falcao leading the line. This just makes no sense, at all.

 
The question is...who else is there?

None of the young strikers are going to be 3rd choice. 

Get Falcao in on loan and have him and Remy battle it out for 2nd spot.

 
Falcao doesn't strike me as someone who is going to settle for 3rd place.

If he was to come then I could see Remy wanting to go

 
If getting Falcao in on loan results in Remy wanting to leave this deal is worse than I initially imagined.

 
How much will this cost? 40m? f**k that. What on earth are they thinking?

Hope this doesn't drain the funds from other potential targets. Don't see anything wrong with having Remy as a backup -- and I don't think he'll fancy playing 3rd choice.

This could be a loan though...

So sky sports are now reporting it....genuinely staggered by this one if there is substance to the reports...

After Torres....well. I guess we'll see.

Guess Roman will never learn.

Better not lose Remy to accommodate this guy

 
Maybe we could bring Sheva out of retirement and bring Torres back and we can have a real dynamic trio up top. Eat your heart out Barca. 

 
What are we, a f**king charity? We've had our fair share of crooked players now, time to move on.

 
This would be a totally bizarre signing. Four goals last season is a poor outturn, I cannot understand why we're going for him.

SSN are saying that this will be a transfer, not a loan. If so, how much will his transfer fee be? £30m? £40m? Anything more than £25m would be criminal in my view. Also there's his wages, isn't he on £360k a week as it currently stands? Hazard is our highest paid player on a reported £200k a week so for Falcao to join here as a backup he'd need to take a lot less than that.

I'm very worried that this has Torres mk 2 written all over it.

This makes no sense, it goes completely against our whole transfer ethos of the past few years. I still think its utter bo**ocks.

 
If we do sign him **shudders** there's no way we're gonna be paying that sort of money for him. That fee quoted in the Sky Sports article is the fee that United would have had to pay as per the details of the loan.
