Worst scout ever
This should be interesting. Let's hope he follows in the footsteps of Shevechenko and Torres as a huge flop.
Precisely because of his previous injury and recent form. United and Chelsea were able to acquire him at minimal risk, with an option to buy if he regains his form.Best. Transfer. Ever.
On a serious note, why does he keep getting loaned? He's proven as fit now, surely?
Seems really weird for a 29/30 year old to do 2 high profile loans in a row. Very odd.
I'd genuinely rather have Ings. And I don't even rate Ings.He's no Danny Ings, that's for sure.
I think I would in all honesty.I'd genuinely rather have Ings. And I don't even rate Ings.
Monaco's Russian owner has stopped bankrolling them so much so they can't afford to keep his wages on the books, but nobody wants to buy him for the amount they want either, especially with his current form and injury history.Best. Transfer. Ever.

At the time the ffp wasn't in place, it's crucial for them to get rid of his wage. If you bought him for say 20m they would have helped you with the wage, but since you opted for a loan, I doubt that Monaco will pay his wage at least no more than 20%.Same thing when Sheva went on loan, we wanted him off the wage bill but nobody else would pick up 100% of them. We paid a % to lower the bill.
So, why not sell him for 10m? Even 5m!Monaco's Russian owner has stopped bankrolling them so much so they can't afford to keep his wages on the books, but nobody wants to buy him for the amount they want either.
Because if he does well on loan, they'd get much more than £10 million. It's a gamble of course but all transfers are.So, why not sell him for 10m? Even 5m!
That way, you get rid of his wages, and you get a few million on top as well.
It's not his wage he is on 14m€ a year, and like last season the pay cut isn't a pay cut. At Monaco foreign players don't pay taxes and it was said that Falcao was willing to take care of his taxes which means that he earns almost half of what he would with Monaco. Which equate to 195k£/week before taxes.Tweet

In all seriousness, I'm very surprised he and his advisers thought it a good idea to stay in the PL.He should be playing in a dryer country where the grass isn't so damn slippery from drizzling rain.
Why not? I like to see our former players do well, even players that were only on loan. Why would I want to see him fail? I'd rather he score 20 goals for Chelsea next season than Diego Costa.Why on earth would you hope that?
I'd rather he plays every minute and never scores a single goal.Why not? I like to see our former players do well, even players that were only on loan. Why would I want to see him fail? I'd rather he score 20 goals for Chelsea next season than Diego Costa.
Yes, but they're letting him go for 2 years in a row now, in supposed peak years.Because if he does well on loan, they'd get much more than £10 million. It's a gamble of course but all transfers are.
It's not weird at all. I don't have to want Chelsea to do well. He could score 20 league goals and Chelsea could come 5th. Saying I want Falcao to do well doesn't mean I want Chelsea to.I'd rather he plays every minute and never scores a single goal.
He's a Chelsea striker now, hoping he does well is just frigging weird.
