We were correct on our tip to have Diego Costa as captain instead of Rooney. Time will prove us right on this one too- Radamel Falcao will challenge for top scorer's award. Falcao's move to Manchster United on the transfer's deadline day is both a shocker and a cause for excitement to Man United fans. While it isn't the solid-foundation defensive player that everyone outside of Man United's Ed Woodward's mission control believes United need, this signing is a goals guarantee and it also deals a blow to both Manuel Pellegrini and Arsene Wenger, for whom Falcao's prolific scoring profile would have been perfect.
One
of the key reasons Real Madrid stepped back from signing Falcao – and he
has been on a plate for them all summer – is that it was understood he
would eat into the goals tally of both Cristiano Ronaldo and Gareth
Bale, not to mention replace the president's favourite Karim Benzema.
