In the wake of a news break yesterday that former Manchester United striker Radamel Falcao has agreed to join premier league champions, Chelsea Fc on a season long loan.
Just as he did last season with United, the striker will be with Chelsea again on loan leaving one to wonder if the then prolific striker would ever get a permanent deal.
The Falcao Manchester United fans saw was not the real one who has demonstrated prolific goal scoring forms at different clubs like Porto, Atletico Madrid and Monaco. The Colombian striker only scored 4goals in 26 appearances in a season to forget with the Red Devils.
He reiterated his desire to remain in England and Chelsea’s manager jose Mourinho feels he would be a perfect replacement for outgone Didier Drogba and decided for give him a one year try just as United did. In his words,
“It hurts me that people in England think that the real Falcao is the one we saw at Manchester United. He played in Spain and Portugal and I know him very well because I was in Portugal and Spain. In Spain we were together when he was at Atletico and I was at Real and I know him very, very well… he is a great player.”
The question now is, will Radamel Falcao regain that prolific form he is known for at Chelsea? Or another disappointing season is waiting for the Colombian?
