Falcao has signed for Atletico

Any idea how much? Another quality player that got away...:evil:

 

[ryantegan]

I wouldnt pay that for Falcao, so I wont complain that he got away

about £35m. Was never going to join Spurs. If he headed to England he was going to join up with AVB IMO. Ade is the striker for 'arry

 

[kishman]

Wow. €40m for Falcao is crazy. How much did they get for Aguero?

 

[Shep]

I would be surprised if we see Adebayor this week. Seems like a bit of a u-turn in the mood since I was last logged in.

However, if POTL suggested it, along with Diarra. Then it's quite a statement from someone with a good track record (when we know what he is talking about!)

 

[Pauleta01]

Falcao has signed for Atletico

Atlético Madrid. €40mill + €7mill in clauses

Seems Crazy !!! Is that not more than they got for Aguero?

Before everybody starts bleating about how we should have bought him, look at the size of that transfer fee? 47 million euro! Plus he is no doubt on 120k or more per week. That is why we can't, and shouldn't, buy these players.

 

[Lilbaz]

Prices are mad. I thought Atletico were skint that's why they sold Aguero?

IF we do get Ade on loan with a £12m buy out that is some amazing business in today's market. Can see it dropping massively next year though.

Yea but if we acted quicker we could of got him for £27mill and back to topic iirc we announced modric at 3am

 

[Scutch]

Falcoa stuff in the player thread, guys.

 

[bubble07]

Thanks... That does seem alittle steep! Would of been alot to spend on 1 player, Ade will be a better fit for us if it happens. if not i think we will be in a bit of trouble. Saying that defoe looked sharper tonight than ive seen for a while. Still a greedy twat tho.
sorry scutch, just seen your request. Im very slow at typing.

We don't do player unveiling press conferences normally - certainly not a day/same day as ink drying - I'm thinking hard but can't think of one in recent times. Think press conferences NOT player holding shirt at the lodge

As I know we a still signing both ade and lass. Lass was tied up ages ago as I know, and ade done with player and club as I understood from last night and posted here

ALTHoUgH adding my own personal slant Harry did look edgey, un Harry like with the journos afterwards. Thoughts?

 

[#1 Spur]

They were all so quick to tell us it was done

The silence is deafening

But maybe they were just watching the game?

I still expect movement on this by the weekend

The silence is deafening?

They only told us 12 hours ago, and the turnaround happened only 3!

Can't believe they aren't here to back up what they said. Darn them.

And maybe D1 just summed up the situation. Not completed, but pretty much so.

How dare you bring rational thought to this thread!

 

[Spurvert]

I thought Harry just looked tired? Nothig more, nothing less.

Thanks for the info though mate

 

[Supersi32]

If there was a problem with Adebayor deal the salted one would be all over it like a rash, he loves doing that to us....

 

[Dare!]

Harry did seem pretty angry during the match. Wouldn't read too much into it.

He was still raging from being told to get off the step.
