Isn't he better than De Gea though

He WAS good with Ajax, but he has been average/bad with Roma.

I had really high hopes for him, but he under performed.

He will do well with whoever he goes. I would suggest Arsenal.

Ah another classic Nickg anecdote

Not as good as the N'Zogbia one

Shamikebab · 24 Apr 2013 at 20:24

Well with Villa in the relegation fight, we might be able to pick up N'Zogbia cheap in the summer!!!!11

Straight swap for Kagawa?

Another £50m flop for Chelsea

(when he comes to realise all the different egos in the dressing room)

I cannot see Falcao being a flop anywhere. If he had the service Torres has had this season, he would have filled his boots.

Depends how the new manager wants to line up etc surely to how well he would perform?

Of course but he is such a beast that I think the manager would have to play him defensively to stop him scoring. Torres has got better recently but with a striker like RvP instead of him this year Chelsea could probably have been challenging for the title.

I think Chelsea would have been challenging for the title with Lukaku instead of Torres.

Wasn't Torres such a beast before joining Chelsea? I mean technically his best season was the one before he left.

Yas786 · 25 Apr 2013 at 15:03

According to SSN, Torres wont be going anywhere, he will be seeing out the next 3 yrs of his contract at Chelsea.

Really? I thought his best seasons were a few years before Chelsea bought him. I am probably wrong however. Its the type of player he is though that makes me think this. Torres was amazing at getting off the back of the last defender and using his pace to make the space to finish. Falcao is a very different style of player.

The last year under Rafa where he was injured a lot.

PL 22 Apps 18 goals

Thats not a bad return I have to say.

Stewy · 25 Apr 2013 at 15:29

Was that when he scored 2 beauts vs Chelsea? When Kuyt miss-hit a shot and it ended up being an absolute wonderball to him.

Purdy · 25 Apr 2013 at 15:42

Nah, we got beat twice by Chelsea that year, 2-1 at the Bridge (Benayoun either did or didn't score near the end I think, just remember being mad) I think or 2-0 and 2-0 at Anfield with Stevie's ball of the year to Drogba.

Those two were under Woy where Drogba hugged Carra due to his epic defending

, you sure it was a shot by Dirk?

Call me fickle but I really really want us to sign Lewandowski now

while shipping of Rooney, or allowing Hernandez to leave (because I cant see Lewandowski agreeing to come to OT without one or the other happening)

I love Chicharito and would be gutted to see him leave (even if Falcoa was arriving instead, I like our Mexican gem that much), and sometimes WR gets on my goat because of the lack of effort /conditioning he has sometimes.

Im not saying for one moment WR should be let go, but I think everyone can agree he is a lot more frustrating at times than he should be because of these reasons.

From today's reports Im not convinced Lewandowski IS going to Bayern - if he is then fine, but I don't buy it.
