Radamel Falcao

[spurslenny]

Falcao is the only target that gets me even remotely excited.

Talk of Parker, friedel, downing, gervinho etc, just bores me.

Radamel Falcao's agent has told us that both #Arsenal & #Tottenham have made offers for the £26 million striker ..full story coming shortly

Arsenal? £26m? A bit of a departure from wengers usual MO.

Sounds like an agent trying drive the price up.

If the goons are in for him we can kiss that target goodbye

 

[Super Tottenham]

I hope Spurs have some back up targets as arse are gonna beat us to him.

Agree with this, although i think Gervinho could be a good player for us, but the rest on that list are very boring.

I know what you saying but IMO Gervinho would be an excellent signing.

Or Negredo. Score 20+ for Sevilla this season.

The only problem is, it's Sevilla...........

Arsenal and Tottenham have tabled offers for Porto's £26m-rated forward Radamel Falcao, his agent has claimed.

The Colombian striker has enjoyed his most prolific season in European football, helping the club to the treble, and his agent has confirmed that the 25-year-old's performances have attracted attention from the two north London clubs.

Claudio Mossio of Sivori and Asociados, the company that represents the striker, told Goal.com: "Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur are the two clubs that are keen to sign him, and have already tabled an offer for Falcao."

The striker, who has a buy-out clause of €30m (£26m), has also courted attention from clubs from Serie A, but due to a lack of EU passport, a move to Italy is unlikely to materialise at this stage.

Mossio continued: "He is 25-years-old, but he still has plenty of room for improvement. The problem with a transfer to Italy is that he does not have a EU passport. He has a contract for two more years with Porto and has a buy-out clause of €30m.

"The club that matches that clause has a good chance of signing him. Porto want to open contract talks and offer him a new and improved deal to insert a higher minimum fee release clause."

Mossio added that the chances of a move to Italy would increase if the Italian Football Federation were to allow its clubs to sign an extra player from outside the EU, but conceded that a move to Spain or England is more likely.

He said: "The chances of a move to Italy increase if that would happen. However, the Spanish and English clubs are sitting in pole position. Inter already have [Giampaolo] Pazzini as striker, while Juventus have [Alessandro] Matri. He would be a good addition to Roma."

Falcao struck a record 17 goals in the Europa League in 2010-11 as Porto enjoyed a memorable campaign under the tutelage of coach Andre Villas-Boas.

Since joining the club from River Plate in the summer of 2009, the striker has won the Portuguese league title, two Portuguese cups, two Supercups and the Europa League.

Sounds like he's trying to get the most money for his client?

I would have thought neither club have put a bid in, and the Mr 10% is drumming up business by plastering his name all over the internet.

[JUSTINSIGNAL]

Considering falcao recently came out and said he didn't want to leave Porto it's sounds to me as if his agent is just trying get Porto to raise their contract offer

This.... Just using our name tbh to get a better deal

 

[steventhfc]

If this is true, then boom, my ITK was right!

 

[Ossie85]

It's nothing re us. But maybe it could be of use if we hear some rumours of us talking to him.
Falcao is now in Buenos Aires, and will be at least until the other Sunday. He was yesterday for River Plate's 110th birthday. Here a pic from his twitter

Double Swoooppppppp - Leandro + Falcao!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

thats the type of exciting business I'd love to see us making this summer.

I have a feeling Leandro will stay in Brazil and may have bigger fish after him than us in the near future and I really don't think we will be seeing Falcao in a Spurs shirt next season.

I do hope so, or at least I hope we make moves of similar stature.

 

[stemark44]

The guy has said that he is staying at Porto,this is just paper talk or some agent trying to drum up a price and increase his wages!

 

[DJS]

His name is similar to Mark Falco.

We should get him.
