LoveCity just wants it hard to happen so he is overreacting on one newspaper article on something that is happening at Atletico for years.

It would be double reliable if Atletico didn't spend each penny they've earned from Aguero transfer to buy that same Falcao they are supposed to sell or die 12 months later.

I like LC as a poster and don't have anything against his enthusiasm but in all honestly I thinks his theory is bollocks :) and much, much, much more his personal hope hope than reality.

I'd love for him to join but I'm not in this frenzied desperation to see it happening that you're suggesting (ie. Dax/Vertonghen). Personally I'd think it would be best if Dzeko left, not because I don't like him but because it's always going to be a square peg in a round hole unless we adjust a system that works beautifully with the right players.

I'd also love to see just about any striker who would fit our system at the club, not just Falcao. Because with what we have I can't see us maintaining the fluency and cohesion if we take Aguero and Tevez out of the team, yet they're the only two we have who really suit the style we play and Tevez could yet leave.



Now now, I'm actually backing up my "theory" with information. You say Atletico will not sell, I say they will while trying to back up my point and it's more hope than reality?

that's something definitely and brings few points to your side :)

Still think he'll stay there next season. And pretty sure we won't be those that would eventually buy him.

Hey now! WHy cheap shot me like that. I lov Vertonghen's game and think he'd be a fantastic option for City. And sure I often beat back or argue against faulty claims about his weaknesses. I neither claim he'll join nor that we are after him. Just that common sense suggests we should be after him. That we aren't is frankly a missed opportunity.

He is good, Belgian (like our warrior captain), eager to move, plays for a selling club, and will come cheap.

We are a team in need of a capable 3rd CD, possible complement at LB and at DM. He plays all 3 positions well, and is well known to us.

What good reason can their be for not even giving him a look? This is quite frankly dissapointing, and a dropping of the ball by the FO :(

YES PLEEEEEEAAAAAASSSSSE

Seems odd that they would pay a fee to anyone after receiving Agueros transfer. They could easily have pocketed the money and fought for midtable glory.

is this bloke any good - who does he remind you of

a la sergio and romario...?

It wasn't meant as a cheap shot simply because I have no problem with people desperately wanting players at the club, I was simply arguing that I'm not the same way for Falcao.

Why do you have a new name?

If Tevez does move on in the summer I see Falcao as the ideal replacement, otherwise no I'd just promote Guidetti to the first team as fourth choice as have Tevez, Aguero and Balotelli as the main three.

The only relation between Dzeko and Bayern is made in English newspapers. Bayern did not buy Papiss Demba Cisse who was "pretty cheap" as they did not want to spent too much money on a second striker in a one-striker-system. Giroud is heavily linked with Bayern - Nerlinger has watched him a couple of times and Giroud has given interviews in which he tells, that he would like this move.
