June 16, 201511 yr It seems like a pretty done deal at this point , so heres the official thread for falcao. i know must of us are not happy with this but its only for a year lets hope he can find himself back with diego costa (who was his back up 3 years ago) and mourinho
June 16, 201511 yr If he's our player then get behind him and hope it works out well. If it doesn't then it's only for a year.
June 16, 201511 yr Who knows, in the cold winter months we could be feeling all warm and fuzzy about him.
June 16, 201511 yr Good news if true. We needed an experienced replacement for Didier, and it'd be silly money for any realistic improvement on Costa. I thought he looked decent enough last season, certainly enough to suggest he's capable of doing a job for us. One year loan as well. Even if he's underwhelming it'll be hard to suggest this is move was a bad choice.
June 16, 201511 yr Top 5 world player who lacked a little confidence after a bad injury last season. Physically he's the same as ever, he never relied on explosive pace and ACL injuries aren't like hamstring injuries in having the potential to affect this anyway. If Mourinho thinks he can get him firing again then I don't have the break-taking arrogance to argue with him.
June 16, 201511 yr So much about being a striker is confidence and instinct. I'm certain he hasn't forgotten the latter, but it remains to be seen whether he still has the former. If a few early goals go in and Jose shows belief in him, then I have confidence he can do very well next season.
June 16, 201511 yr I don't want myself to be caught up in this 'any moment he'll come good. If not this match, then the next,' etc etc. If he comes good, then fantastic. I wait with minimal expectation. We have Diego, and hopefully, Remy to do the business.
June 16, 201511 yr He'll go down as a Chelsea legend once he helps us retain the league and win the CL, put bank notes on it.
June 16, 201511 yr A loan deal on less wages certainly protects us from another banana skin, Personally I think we should also bring in Griezmann, Costa-Remy-Falcao is a pretty injury prone bunch and we could see a repeat of this season with oscar upfront lol.. Edited June 16, 201511 yr by Bigthrobberus
June 16, 201511 yr I'm getting visions of Torres and Shevchenko. I'll be a bit gutted if Remy goes though.
June 16, 201511 yr Thing is it wouldn't make sense for Remy to leave cause the we'd need another striker.
June 16, 201511 yr Author Yea I don't think bamford is the answer if costa is injured and falcao repeat his manU year
June 16, 201511 yr Hope he is fantastic for us but i don't think he will be. He hasn't looked the same player for over a year now.
June 17, 201511 yr Can't see Falcao playing the third striker role here, so Remy out Falcao in is the most likely scenario, will weaken us unfortunately. Unnecessary gamble in my view, but I have never managed a football team.
June 17, 201511 yr Was shocking for Man Utd last year ... as Torrid was before he joined us. And maybe the catalyst for Remy leaving too? Dear oh dear, surely we should have learnt from past experiences. The whole football world is stratching their heads this morning. If this fails spectacularly will immediately put Jose on the defensive ...

Dear oh dear, surely we should have learnt from past experiences. The whole football world is stratching their heads this morning. If this fails spectacularly will immediately put Jose on the defensive ... It will put us on the defensive too. As in. Park the bus. Every game. Hopefully a summer of recovery does Costa the world of good.
June 17, 201511 yr BOOM! Might take him a month or two to get proper appearances under his belt, but he will get us goals... wait and see.
June 17, 201511 yr That would mean Costa being out which I hope doesn't happen. Costa is our number one and I hope he plays as much games as he can, I don't trust Falcao one bit. Hope I'm wrong though.
June 17, 201511 yr I am just about as underwhelmed with this transfer as it's possible to be ! If this is the catalyst for Remy to leave that will turn to exasperation, on the other hand if he stays and Falcao is 3rd choice (although with Jose surely wanting to prove he can 'bring him back' i doubt that) then it wont be so bad. After Torres and Sheva haven't we learned our lesson ?????
June 17, 201511 yr After Torres and Sheva haven't we learned our lesson ????? £30 million/3 year contract £50 million/5 year contract £4 million/1 year loan. One of these things is not like the other, One of these things just doesn't belong. It's George Weah 2.0. Edited June 17, 201511 yr by Blue Daze
