Ed002 is Christensen high regarded at chelsea? Do they expect him to be a squad member next year?
On Friday night in Germany, Andreas Christensen (top), scoring twice in Borussia Moenchengladbach's 5-1 home win over Werder Bremen. Christensen drilled in the second goal and then headed in the third, his first Bundesliga goals.

{Ed002's Note - There is no measure of how "highly regarded" one player is over another and it is far too early to be discussing whether loan players will be in the squad for next season.}

He's on loan until the end of the 2016/ 17 season.

is the option for chelsea, or for borussia? for example does chelsea have a say whether they want him to return next season or is it just if borussia don't want him?

Hi ed002. What's the current situation with falcao? I have always liked him and hoped he would come good but it looks to me like he might be off to China for the money maybe?

{Ed002's Note - Falcao failed a medical which stopped his return to Monaco in January which would have seen Chelsea take a financial hit and would have allowed Monaco to have found a new home until the summer. That was not to be. If he is to move to China it requires either (a) Chelsea to pay the buyout clause in full and then sell him on if a Chinese club were to offer a fee equivalent to the buy out clause and any costs the club incur, or (b) Monaco to agree to his return fr4om Chelsea with no financial penalty with an immediate resale without his registration being transferred via Monaco - that would likely require Monaco to seek FIFA approval and could take longer that the two weeks in which this can happen.
And any of this would be dependent on the player passing a medical for his new club which may well be problematic.}
