    Business side of it.
    Most of Jorge's dealings with Chelsea in the past were incredible.
    So perhaps our hierarchy wanted to reward Jorge and hook him for some other targets in the future?

    Little bit of an overstatement there chum, he missed a couple of sitters but he didn't have nowhere near as many as you make out, you played crab football for all but 4 or 5 games late in the season, all season, crabby McHoofball Falcao was never gonna thrive on that.

    Sisu, he was terrible for United and gradually got worse as the season progressed. It got to the point that it was embarrassing to watch his lack of pace, touch and link play. You know that as you spent all season slagging him off for how **** he was, even trying to make out that he was worse than Balotelli. He was a great player and that talent doesn't disappear overnight, even after a bad injury. Maybe Jose, Chelsea's system (although he is not a lone front man), a proper pre-season and regular starts (unlikely) will help him get back to a good level. We'll see. It is a surprise signing though.

    Except last season he was **** and...
    No Chelsea fan has said he will suddenly be great and the same as old
    Most chelsea fans are apprehensive about this signing and have said we hope he comes good but aren't counting on it
    and there has been no UIR and Matth like reactions.

    Shteve has hit the nail on the head. As i said before, he didn't finish well last season but hopefully that will improve. Hes still good in the box. Out of the area hes an absolutely liability. Weak Slow and touch of a rapist

    Apparently they will be buying many more players to go with him, as someone stated earlier "he will be playing with much better players than he was at Old Trafford" <laugh>

    If Liverpool had played crabball instead of their amazing "high press, fast flowing attack style" they may have scored a few more goals and finished nearer to us :grin:

    Very fine margins at the top of the prem mate, one or two players losing form or being injured can make all the difference <ok>

    If you'd have played hoofball for the whole season instead of just the 2nd half you'd have walked the league <whistle>

    Looks like a loan deal with some of our youngsters heading to Monaco, and bloody good luck to them as well. Know where I'd rather be having lunch in the 300 days of sunshine.
    In all the talk about Falcao underperforming, being injured etc, don't forget Costa was crocked by hamstrings 30% of the season, he's potentially as big a worry as Falcao. So someone at Chelsea must be very confident about Falcao and Costas' chances to get back to peak fitness, and that will do for me. Just hope Remy gets a go if he stays, Drogs' poor play showed we needed a better 3rd striker, and Remy is better than 3rd.

    Don`t think it`s a fitness problem with Falcao, it`s more a sharpness and confidence problem. He tried so hard for us but every miss just seemed to knock more out of him. Maybe he tried too hard instead of letting his instincts rule, he was desperate to succeed.
