Redknapp: "I want Falcao!"
In a press conference earlier today, Jamie Redknapp said that he wants to spend the money made from Nasri, Toure and Aguero on Athletico Madrid striker Falcao. Falcao has a release clause in his contract worth 52m which Redknapp would have to sactivate to get him but it could backfire on him and cause the club to make debt come back worse.
Redknapp spoke to BBC Sport saying: "
Falcao has such great quality in not only his finishing but also his ball control and skill on the ball. He would be the perfect replacement for Aguero because he is such a clinical finisher which could really help us!"
When Falcao was asked about this, he told a TV company in Spain: "
I would love to move to Manchester City because it is such an iconic team some quality players. Yes, they may be near to re entering administration. I don't really want to say much more about the move or the club and manager until a formal bid has been made from the club!"
City fans have announced their excitement by posting on an online forum made for City fans saying that a move for the multi-million pound striker could really help the club avoid relegation consider the twenty points which have been deducted by the FA.
Despite this, Athletico Madrid fans think that if he agreed to move it would be an absolute disgrace and that it would show such disrespect towards not only the club but also the board and the club's fans which isn't fair on those who pay to watch him!
