After watching him from close up last season I wouldn't call signing Falcao 'strengthening attacking the options'

Really very sad to see such a class act deteriorate so fast, you are spot on with Costa though.

Exactly, that's why they got him, they didn't want a direct threat or similar ability to Costa as it would've upset him even more, poor little lamb, so they got Falcao in.

If l was a Chelsea fan one would hope for Costa to be sold and thus then bring in 2 top class strikers but as we all know top class strikers are not born on trees where you can just pluck one out willy nilly.

Getting Falcao on loan was the just the cheaper option than buying someone, but he's not been the same since his injury at Monaco anyway so I wouldn't have bothered and kept Bamford in the squad. They are trying to be more frugal these days. And for all the sins of Costa which I don't agree with, I've seen plenty of others this season do things as dodgy, but you don't see them highlighted for an hour on Sky Sports News or after the match.

Agreed, Jamie Vardy for one likes to leave his foot in.

PS. Interesting stat for Den, when Klopp joined Liverpool they were six points off the top, now they are nine points adrift, just saying.

Awaiting confirmation that Gary Monk has been sacked by Swansea.

denphone · 07-12-2015, 12:48

When will these clubs ever learn.

adzii_nufc · 07-12-2015, 17:32

Nothing official yet but it's suggested Gary Monk has been essentially sacked as Swansea manager but will remain until a replacement is found. Brendan Rodgers is the leading target at the minute.

denphone · 07-12-2015, 17:47

Apparently its down to player power and a certain player who refuses to play for him.

Michael Owen on Man City: ''When they don't score, they hardly ever win''

Brilliant, well played Michael, top level analysis.

I missed it but David Moyes came out with similar verbal garbage during the Valencia v Barca game when the language problems came up. He apparently said "of course Gary and Phil will speak English to each other" DOH.
