ed do you expect falcao to sign for us in january? {Ed018's Note - i think January is a touch unlikely}

Believable0 Unbelievable2

I'm concerned about the whole thing. I think we should be buying younger. The last time we spent £50m on a 26 year old striker it proved to be our biggest ever cock-up. Damiao makes more sense to me. Falcao had a Torres like spell at Porto. It's only the last two years he has been hitting the heights. I wouldn't sign any older than 24, ideally 23 or below. Our track record of destroying big name strikers is getting ridiculous. Go Damiao. Cheaper, younger and has a good understanding with Oscar. Done. -James13.

I agree to some degree but the price of damiao then we paying a lot of money for a player not proven in Europe, if Oscar was 25m damiao would cost near on falcao

Agree0 Disagree0

Torres was supposed to be proven in Europe. As exciting as Falcao looks I think he is too old to be spending that sort of money. I'd rather spend it on Neymar. The re-sale value on a 26 year old is generally going to be very low. Look at the mess we are in with Torres now. The mess Real got in with Kaka. I wouldn't spend mega-money on anyone older than 23 - 24 at a push. Too risky. -James13.

Agree0 Disagree0

Falcao was brilliant In Portugal as well

Agree0 Disagree0

Falcoa was the top scorer for 2 seasons at Porto!

Hi Ed. Is there a possibility that Chelsea could look to include Torres in a package for Falcao? It could be a way of not having to pay the full buy-out fee and surely there would be a lot of people at Madrid who would be keen to have Torres back? Many thanks - James13 {Ed002's Note - It is something that Chelsea would be willing to do if the player wanted it and if Madrid wanted it, but they are looking to other options.}

Ed 002 Do Athletico Madrid have any interest in Torres as part of a Falcao deal?
Thanks {Ed002's Note - It would be nice if they did but right now they are looking at a couple of other players as a replacement for Falcao.}

Believable0 Unbelievable3

ed002 is that 100% guardiola not coming to cfc.

ktbffh {Ed002's Note - I can't say 100% but I would not expect him to be moving to London.}

Believable1 Unbelievable5

I've got a feeling if he comes to England it will be Manchester, most likely city. Never mind.
Marley

Agree0 Disagree0

Do you think Manchester City is more ikely then ED002? {Ed002's Note - More likely than what?}

Agree0 Disagree0

So ed

According to your sources ... will chelsea be Pep's likely destination as manager next season or will it be one of the manchester clubs ?

Derek {Ed002's Note - "Likely" is not something I want to get in to but there is strong interest in Guardiola from certain parties in Manchester.}

Is it true that Atletico are demanding Fernando Torres as part of any deal for Falcao? It was just an article in the independant, i'm not taking their word for it.

Believable0 Unbelievable3

I'd be extremely doubtful mate. Not sure they would need to demand it.

Melbourne CFC

Agree0 Disagree0

Demand! They won't need to demand too hard!

Agree0 Disagree0

I was thinking that it wouldn't really take much for chelsea to accept the swap really, i mean it would probably take an extra 30/35m but torres is worth no more than 15m now, and falcao is well worth 50m+

Agree0 Disagree0

I read a report which said that chelaea are looking into signing el shaarawy in January is thee any truth in this ed? Thanks! {Ed002's Note - No. PSG and Cologne have shown an interest in El Shaarawy but Real Madrid may well look to strike a deal with Milan sooner rather than later.}
