Falcao

[Tevez City]

He is an excellent striker, but why don`t we just stick with Dzeko and see what he can offer next season ?

Most ever goals in the EL in one season... but could he play with Edin?

Yes, if we did go for a striker (If Tevez is going) then, i'm not sure Falcao would fit the bill, not in his ability, but in style. We should be after some kind of 2nd striker, who can play wide, and maybe do a job as the main man if he has to, Hulk/Sanchez or someone. We need variety, Falcao i think plays in the same areas as Dzeko.

One exceptional performance and suddenly we must buy him. Oh dear.

think he has scored 16 in the EL this season that includes 3 hat tricks..

Lionheart eats his humble pie :-)

I think he'd be lethal with dzeko.reminds me of Torres.

Seems to have that knack of being in the right place. Only concern for me is could he make the step up into the premier league. I've only seen him a couple of times and most of them were in the EL. Does he have enough pace for the prem as all strikers need a least a bit of pace to be a real success.

 

[Thaksinssoldier]

He's definitely bulked up and seems pretty quick to me.Definitely would be a player at our level and far better than Hulk,who always looks average against English,Spanish or German opposition...I wonder how much we'd have to cough up for Falcao?

Saw that game against Villareal, nothing special. Marchena was absolutely horrible in defence and im sure either of our current strikers would have scored much more than Falcao did given that same chance. Hes alright in Porto, but I doubt he'd cut it here.

Rather go for A. Sanchez or Aguero if (when?) Tevez moves to Italy. Chances are we'd end up paying more for Falcao than either of those two, because they're pretty much champions already and will probably win the Europa League aswell. Doubt they'd let go of their prized asset for anything under 30m, which is Agueros release fee if im not mistaken.

dont rate falco but rossi at villa real is a fox in the box brilliant movement and two good feet would love a goalpoacher at city and i really rate the lad.i think cavani is two similiar to dzeko and falcao hasnt got the pace but hey just my opinion.
