The Fun Factory Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 Monaco are a bunch of sell outs. They have really moved from their working class, proletariat, origins. TBH why wouldnt any player not move to Monaco? Cash, no tax, nice place to live. Its a tough gig. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarewsEyebrowDesigner Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 Falcao has no choice because the third party pays most of his wages. He goes where they tell him to go. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AVFCforever1991 Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 (edited) Falcao has no choice because the third party pays most of his wages. He goes where they tell him to go. This.. It's the same with most South American footballers. Probably had a say with Neymar going to Barca. Edited May 31, 2013 by AVFCforever1991 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kurtsimonw Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 (edited) If they all gel, they will be unstoppable next year. I personally think they will wipe the floor with PSG domestically. Can't see that. Aren't they a Ligue 2 team with Falcao and Moutinho? Carvalho and Valdes will probably be upgrades on what they have, but neither are exactly good anymore. PSG will walk the league again unless Monaco sign at least 5/6 more very good players. Edited June 2, 2013 by kurtsimonw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 Rodriguez, Facao and Moutinho should be enough to push them To Champions League spots. They will need a bit more to challenge for title Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vandaq Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 Don`t forget ocampos which is supposedly a huge talent as well. I do find it weird that not much more than a year ago a striker from Norway played in monaco. After that he moved to our local team and he is proper shit. And now look, falcao is suddenly there. That is quite the drastic change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big_John_10 Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 Falcao has no choice because the third party pays most of his wages. He goes where they tell him to go. Can they hold a gun to his head? Falcao has gone to Monaco because he's happy to go to Monaco and earn the wages he's getting from whoever pays them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samjp26 Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 (edited) Being as Monaco are never going to make a profit as a football club, there must be another motive for the owner spending such amounts of money. Edited June 2, 2013 by samjp26 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Rev Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 Yes, the same reason as why pretty much everything else in Monaco exists: It's Monaco. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Falcao has gone to Monaco because he's happy to go to Monaco and earn the wages he's getting from whoever pays them. Do you know that for a fact? You don't know what his contract with the third party states. It's highly likely they can take him to the cleaners if he goes 'on strike' to get a move to a different club.

No club is going go spend that much money on a player who really didn't want to go there. He could quite easily make it clear he didn't want to go without going on strike. I think he'd rather go to other clubs and has probably been pushed in the direction of monaco but i think he's fine with the decision and the money he'll be earning.

The_Rev Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 He probably is quite happy with how things have worked out, Monaco is one of the most glamorous places in the entire world and I'd imagine it is a fantastic place to live if you are 27 years old and picking up almost €1m a month tax free. As for the lack of ambition thing? Well, people said the same things about the players who went to Chelsea in 2003, Manchester City in 2009 or PSG last summer. I'm sure there are Villa fans who to this day genuinely believe that Milner and Barry didn't join Manchester City for any kind of footballing reason despite each of them now having an FA cup winners medal and a title medal. I'm sure Monaco have been selling the dream hard to their most recent signings that they intend to win the French league within the duration of these players contracts, and why can't they? PSG managed it, Manchester City managed it, Chelsea managed it. Yes Falcao might have been able to go to Real Madrid but forces outside of his control have dictated that he didn't end up there. I doubt Atletico would have sold if there were other big offers coming in and it seems his third party owner decided to go with the biggest offer of them all. He would have had people telling him that English clubs won't touch him because third party ownership here is a non starter and also that Real Madrid is no guaranteed title medal given the strength of Barcelona.
