Radamel Falcao Zarate

Agueros replacement - 35m! wow.....

Great signing, he'll score for fun against the wank defences in La Liga.

Be interesting to see how he does. Good player though he is, personally I think they've overpaid. Then again, Carroll was the same price so he doesn't look bad value compared to that!

Just the market at the moment I guess. Porto didn't need to sell so Athletico have paid top dollar.

Falcao is nor nearly as talented as Kun. He's good, but they're on different level. Id pay the extra 5-10 for hulk. He'll have a higher resale value.

Bump.

We have told Jorge Mendes (the notorious Portuguese super-agent) to get us Falcao according to this Spanish newspaper. He'd cost a fortune though as Atletico paid £35million to sign him as Aguero's replacement. As expected he has been fantastic in La Liga with 19 goals in 25 games (behind only Messi and Ronaldo). 25 goals in 35 games in all competitions. 97 goals in the last 3 seasons, an average of 33 per season.

Tevez replacement?

A certain talent,he scores for fun and,from what i've seen of him,he seems more 'alive' in the box than our current crop.
I reckon he'd work well with Kun.

Whilst you are correct, Falcao did go to Atletico with the Kun money, they are saying he would replace Kun here too, as Kun will go to Real in the summer.

A bit of Madrinello meddling if you ask me.

Sun running with this, too. His goal-scoring record since coming to Europe is ridiculous.

 

[nicholas1136]

sitll confused why he chose to go to atletico..

Interesting snippet from The S*n which suggests he may personally want the move.

And the striker, 26, is eager to switch to the Premier League for the sake of his international career.

His transfer to Atletico was badly received in Colombia, with many in the South American country believing he belongs at a much bigger club.
