• The Houseboat
  • Radamel Falcao (Combined cost OF wages AND loan fee is 20M)

Never going to happen.

Fucking hell, looks like BBC might have been fooled?

This really is the peak of shit journalism 😆

And the website has also deleted it now.

Ignore fake accounts - Arsenal not in for Falcao or any other CFs. #AFC plan to go with existing options but may get CB/DMF before deadline

Dreams... DASHED

Time will tell, Ornstein isn't head of Arsenal's transfer team.

Why didn't Ornstein mention whether wages would have been included or not and if that's why we're not interested?

Well, fuck this guy!

If we really are not buying anyone, then hello 4th again! 3rd at best, depending how stretched Liverpool gets with CL.

Even if we are buying anyone, Falcao is just not realistic. He is on 250k per week wages. Its too much for us + the 20m loan fee.

My thoughts exactly. Apparently Balague said he's too expensive even as a loan. There's no way we could afford his wages in addition to the loan fee.

Who says we'd pay the asking price?
I'm certain we wouldn't but that doesn't mean that the price can't be whittled down, depending on how desperate Monaco and Falcao are to part ways this season.

Buy him outright. No loan faff

We'd instantly go up a level

An attack containing Rads, Lex and Mez would be magic

Thanks for the link Marv, found that quite educational.

Common sense there. This loan makes so much sense.
