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

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.

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.}

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.

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

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

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+

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.}
