Falcao is the forward every top club wants, how many would want Mario.

Rooney, van persie and even the likes of Suarez and Torres are all better players to have in our 4 than ballotelli.

Head talent but nowhere near even being remotely to world class let alone best player in the world.

Actually I'd go as far to say that over the same period and same opportunities Darren bent would have yielded a similar result

Balo is no where near as good as falcao and never will be imo. I ran out of patience with mario a while back. Makes me laugh when people say 'yeh he did ok'. most of the time its not true, he was shite and lazy as per. the ability is clearly there but he simply isnt bothered. I dont hate him but id sell him for sure.

id have falcao over him in a heartbeat. same with Jovetic, Cavani, neymar etc.

Draw your own conclusions.


that Serie A and the Premier League are harder than the Uruguayan Primera División and the Primeira Liga?
Never criticise a man until you've walked a mile in his shoes.
That way when you do criticise him you'll be a mile away.
And you'll have his shoes.

Just hope he knows what colour Athletico played in, as Malaga had a goal scorer who fits the bill...


Hope that with those requirements, you're not thinking of Andy Carroll ??

it's arrogance to think that even tho he rocks a pony that he cannae play the footy. He can play.

true. but I think - theoretically - he would be the Scapuzzi of the Senior Team...

Fuck me, I hate to talk as an arrogant rag, even if for fun sake only!

1. "unintelligible language"
2. "ACID QUEEN"
3. "never once fails to turn a football thread into a himseelf thread"
4. "thumbs stalker often resulting in repetitive thumb strain"
5. ignore the cunt. he's on permantent wum mission. only TIDs may know City

You'd need to make a very good psychiatrist in order to guess what next in a eight yrs long line of hatred...

If I had to sign one player like that I'd rather take Crouch than Carroll tbh.
But I prefer to have faith in our own style of play and hope that it pays off (like Villarreal at home last season) instead of going for Stoke-esque football.

I'd sign Crouch over Carroll as well .... for starters it would reduce the goals/points conceeded from our totals

Falcao with Tevez, Kun and Dzeko would be an awesome, title-winning fourseome. Couldn't give a shit about Balotelli as I don't rate him. Best penalty taker anywhere, but that's about it.

Falcao would be an amazing signing.

Hi Doomie, by your criteria/definition I guess I must be someone who is arrogant because, to further the pony analogy, I think he's an absolute donkey.

He's the last player I would ever want to see in our team (apart from any of the Scumdwellers from Old Toilet).

exactly.

I bet people would be shocked to see how productive AC was with our lads around him.

If AC had been 15M he wouldn't be wearing this burden, pony aside. It's not his fault King Kenny and his minions were fucking spaztards financially.

There's a reason Alan Pardew would have him back in a second despite having those classy Senagalese lads.

We'll have to agree to differ on this one as I'm not the greatest lover of, what are to my mind, big, carthorse type centre forwards.

If Carroll was in our team, for me it would be cringe-inducing seeing him trying to fit in and play the football we are capable of doing.

I'm not bothered about the 'great in the air' Plan B option he would supposedly provide, I just like my footballers to be proper footballers and he would be akin to a fish out of water in our set-up.

Sorry, but that's just my opinion for what it's worth, or not worth.

He's no aguero, to be sure, but he has more skill with the ball at his feet than you give him credit for.

Chelsea will get him in Jan, they can offer the Keeper Courtois who is on loan from Chelsea, Also will they offer Torres a route back home.
