Transfer news - I'll believe it when I see them in a blue shirt.

Thinking about the yaya toure transfer again, I think it could be a very good one for us actually. We are looking for that type of midfielder, one who can score from distance, power his way through defenders and shoot, as well as being defensively sound, albeit not perfect. I think he would certainly add some great strength to our midfield. RLC won't be a solid first teamer next season, but he can definitely come in regularly to replace toure in the latter half of the game. The only issue for me would be his wage demands, however, he would likely cost us the price of mikel, so it would be a bargain. I would rather toure over mikel tbh, and I'm pretty sure many others would too.

He hasn't been the player you're describing for 12 months.

maybe because he has wanted to leave and he's looked like he couldn't be assed with city any more. I mean he even angled for a move earlier on this season, but it didn't happen and he decided to stay, but he definitely wants the move no doubt. i mean if there's any truth to these rumours, then if we can sign him for say, 10 million, and he is willing to come here on reduced wages, then it could work out great for us even if for 1-2 seasons while RLC develops. If he comes here and still wants the same salary as he was getting at city then that's a big no no.

No thanks!

I can see why it would be tempting to take him. A player who WAS considered world class on loan. Not often that comes around.

But it doesn't look like the Prem suits him. We don't need another Torres and Shevchenko debate.

It's the wages more than anything, he's on over £200k a week which is more than Hazard gets as our best paid player. 

 

We're not going to break the wage structure to take a punt on a forward who would be 2nd choice at best. 

 

Unless Monaco heavily subsidised the wages (and why would they, I assume that's why they are loaning him out) then I don't see us being interested in the slightest.

f**k that.

 

He can stay the hell away.

If he comes here on 50% reduced wages for the privilege of living in a great city such as London, then i wouldn't have a problem with him being 2nd choice.

Really? 

 

Falcao has 4 goals in 26 appearances averaging a goal every 326 minutes

Remy has 5 goals in 18 appearances averaging a goal every 129 minutes

 

Basically would you honestly have Falcao as 2nd choice striker ahead of Remy? 

 

Especially considering he earns 4 times as much per week. 

Falcao is paying the price for joining Monaco for the £££ and getting a major injury in the process instead of joining us a few years back.

 

Now that he's being touted to come here after he's exhausted every option he can f**k right off. 

 

"Anyone want Falcao?"

 

"Anyone?"

 

"...Anyone?"   :sad:

 

Monaco have a serious flop on their hands and we do not want another Torres/Sheva on ours. Avoid, avoid like the f**king plague.

Exactly, Falcao had his chance before he joined Monaco, he shouldn't have got greedy, now he is paying for it.

Bad career decisions or not, felt sorry looking at him when he walked off last game. For a while he was right up there with Messi and Ronaldo in terms of goal scoring, and now he can't buy a goal. Maybe a move back to La Liga would do him good? Madrid might be looking for a striker if they don't opt to sign Hernandez. 

Falco made some strange career choices, but that injury really ruined him, and that could happen if he plays at another club. It's similar to the demise of Essien, one bad injury, tried to rush back, then career almost over. Where is the poor Boison these days? I read on DM yesterday we are linked with Falcao again, it could be worse as last week Jose wanted to sign 32 year old Ricky Lambert.

While I understand the point about their wages, I think sometimes we forget things are relative. At a certain point, I'm sure the money doesn't factor as highly in a players thoughts as we like to imagine.

When players, especially, one who has been at the very peak level of his profession suddenly drops down to the very bottom, it's got to mess you up quite a bit no matter how much you earn.

Not sure how true this is, and I think it's already been mentioned in relation to him, but the ownership situation night have had a lot to do with his move.

 

I'm pretty sure they can't tell him where to go, they can't force him and his family to move to a different country. Staying at Atletico Madrid would have been better than moving to Monaco.
