We spent less than we offered for Hazard, never mind Van Purse Strings and De Rossi.

Guillem Balague says there will be an offer on the table from PSG in the winter for him, which "will make him the best paid player in the world", but that it's up to him whether or not he wants to accept it.
Also says he's waiting to see if Chelsea, Real, or us make an offer before making any decision on P$G.<br /><br />-- Mon Oct 22, 2012 9:49 am --<br /><br />

Yea but that combined with the fact that Chelsea would almost certainly be a more appealing option to the player, it makes it even harder.tolmie's hairdoo said:waspish said:The thing is if we have ANY CHANCE of getting him we have to Guarantee him 1st team football but going head to head with Abramovitch will be very hard Abramovitch is USED to getting his own way!

Why, does he want to live in London?
Well, London is certainly more desirable than Manchester, but even more than that, the sheer lack of center-forwards at Chelsea means he would have literally no competition whatsoever and would be their star striker. Sturridge is looking like he's leaving in the summer, and if Falcao does go to Chelsea, Torres could quite possibly be thrown into the deal and go home to Madrid, so that leaves them with 0 strikers in the squad. Compare that to our 4 and you can see why Chelsea would likely look like a better prospect to him than us.OB1 said:ElKun said:Yea but that combined with the fact that Chelsea would almost certainly be a more appealing option to the player, it makes it even harder.

Matter of opinion whether London is more desirable than Manchester: depends what you want; and I speak from experience.
City having the squad that they do should not put Falcao off if he is sufficiently confident of his own ability and we don't want him if he isn't. The strength of City's squad should be
an attraction to the best.
City may well offer him a better salary.
City are an innately bigger club than Chelsea.

After winning the Premiership once? Chelsea won the Champions League last season.
Well we can say what we want about his "confidence in his own ability", but when a player is looking at the prospect of being rotated with 3 or 4 world class strikers and the prospect of being rotated with none, which do you think most players would find more appealing?<br /><br />-- Mon Oct 22, 2012 10:24 am --<br /><br />OB1 said:Matter of opinion whether London is more desirable than Manchester: depends what you want; and I speak from experience.

Not to mention, City have won the First Division title 3 times, Chelsea have won it 4. City have 5 FA Cups, Chelsea have 7. City have 2 League Cups, Chelsea have 4. Chelsea have 3 minor European trophies, City have 1. Chelsea have a European Cup, City don't.Kun Aguero said:OB1 said:ElKun said:Well, London is certainly more desirable than Manchester, but even more than that, the sheer lack of center-forwards at Chelsea means he would have literally no competition whatsoever and would be their star striker.

City being "innately bigger" might be a bit of a stretch, even with our Sky Blue tinted glasses on.
Guillem Balague today on Falcao's impending move-
"He's already got an offer on the table from PSG, which will make him the best paid player in the world but he's waiting to see if Chelsea, Man City or Real Madrid are actually going for him as well. He's got a suspicion Real and Chelsea are interested in going for him, but in the meantime the only offer is from PSG, so we'll see"
