• The Houseboat

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

Ask the question - make an offer,
you'll never know if you don't ask & 'you gotta be in to win'.

Ha, I reckon Wenger would be rubbish at poker, his face gives him away more often than not.
Too many involuntary twitches and tics.

wow. wengz bullshitometer is going into overdrive

On transfer deadline day, I will be actively involved. I will be on alert until the last minute of the transfer deadline.

😆
He plays the press well to be fair.

I get the feeling we will get Falcao.

With which club Falcao will he play in the Champions League ? This is the question that everyone lands on the Rock. In Monaco, Thursday , the influential player's agent , Jorge Mendes, has struggled to talk to some clubs. For over 30 minutes, Mendes told Florentino Perez that Falcao 's dream was to play at Real Madrid. Within the White House, Carlo Ancelotti would not be a huge fan of the player and is skeptical of its complementarity with the other team members . After the draw , Jorge Mendes also exchanged with leaders Arsenal , Juventus and Manchester City. The Gunners are looking indeed a scorer after Olivier Giroud serious injury and positioned themselves on " El Tigre ". Juventus , she sent a loan offer with a purchase option for Falcao . A solution that would please neither the Russian leaders AS Monaco or the player , reluctant to join the Serie A. Finally, in recent times , Manchester City has expressed his interest in the event of leaving the Spaniard Alvaro Negredo . The presence of Falcao this Friday night in the group of the ASM , for the match against Lille (Saturday , 17h) , should be a small first answer. " Falcao wants to leave, the officers do not retain , says a source close to the club. After he has a very big salary and ASM must navigate financially. There is no party. It's a complicated issue, especially financially, but not impossible. In any case, it concerns everyone. "Today, everything is open on the future of Colombian striker .

we'll have to deal with mendes some day. let it begin with el tigre

I would buy 100 Falaco jerseys and distribute it to my entire neighbourhood if he signs.

I reckon our poker face will whittle that loan price waaay down 🙂
I'm not ruling Falcao out anymore.
All his guff about our number of strikers being unbelievable - mindgames 🙂

We're not signing Falcao.

Ah man I just realised how much I'd love to see Falcao play for us

Easier than the last thing you vowed to do on here 🙂

I can vaguely see this happening now we've secured CL qualification. It's possible, at least.

:drool::drool::drool::drool:

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.
