Plain Speaking said:Falcao has better stats, (albeit in a variety of comps), he has scored 123 goals in 169 appearances in the last 4 seasons thats an average of over 30 goals scored per season plus he is a good age 26!Stoned Rose said:Some of you really are clueless about the game and what makes a good player!! :(
RVP would be an excellent signing in my opinion.
He has alays been top class but last season he really 'came of age' and had clearly finally 'got' being a striker.
If we look at his stats over the last 4 seasons -
2011/12 - Apps 47 Goals 37 Assists 15
2010/11 - Apps 33 Goals 22 Assists 7
2009/10 - Apps 20 Goals 10 Assists 8
2008/9 - Apps 44 Goals 20 Assists 15
Played 144, Scored 89, Assisted 45
So adding together his goals scored and assists he's delivered (been directly involved in the scoring of) some 134 goals in 144 appearances.
That equates to an average of 34 goals per season he's played a part in.
and for those of you who consider him a crock he's played an average of 36 games per season over the last 4 seasons.
At 29, yes he's no spring chicken, but he has 3 years left. Look at the stats above and explain why he wouldn't make an excellent addition to our squad?
Falcao is a superb player no doubt about that mate. My point wasn't made in order to say 'look van persie is the best player we could possibly get' but just to show how brilliant he actually is and to make a point to even out the debate that quite a few on here think a) he's not that good and b) he's always injured.
Both a and b are myths.
