If Torres stays high. Even without Torres moderate I believe...at least he and Mou had a couple of unfriendly interactions last year (although Im not sure if those were blown out of proportions by the media).

Radamel Falcao has been heavily linked with a move to Real Madrid, who have just signed his Colombia team-mate James Rodriguez, but Monaco boss Leonardo Jardim is hopeful that he will stay at the club. Falcao has been injured since halfway through last season and missed the World Cup, but he could make his long-awaited comeback from injury at the Emirates Stadium.
"For now, he is a Monaco player and I am counting on him."


Bale - James - CR
----------Falcao

Madrid must be the only team in the world that could get weaker by signing players like Falcao and James if it means having to sell Di Maria and Benzema.

Benzema is very inconsistent, one day he play like one of the best striker and other day he play like Chamakh. Falcao is definitely better choice.

It's unfair to compare James Rodriguez and Di Maria, we have to see James's performance on RM.

You think Benzema > Falcao? Not pre-injury.

If Monaco sells Falcao, Anthony Martial might see more of the field. That guy dominates in FIFA.

Benzema is so important for RM because he keeps tracking back and helps defending.
Ronaldo and Bale rarely defend so Benzema is really needed a lot

It's not about individuals, it's about their roles in the team. Benzema filled the role he had to play outstandingly and in that role he is the best striker in the world for Madrid. He provides lay-offs for both Bale and Ronaldo, while being a great target man aswell. Not to mention he is younger than Falcao. Di Maria is proven and James is not, only 3 years of difference between the two as well so I cannot say that was a great purchase either.

Edit: And as Sharkie said, Benzema is a hard worker who tracks back when needed.

No point in arguing, Ancelloti said no no. 9 will be hired by RM this summer. Unless you guys consider Falcão as something else than a 9, no way he is going to RM this season

How can RM sign so many big names and still not get affected by FFP like PSG?

And on the striker talk, I would say Benzema was as equally good as James in WC but for some reason fell under the radar. He is for me a very spectacular striker and has that instinct to shoot without delay that many top class strikers are lacking these days.

RM's revenue is the highest in the world, while PSG's probably wouldn't be in the top 20 without the shady Qatari sponsorships (which FFP supposedly accounts for). It's not about how much you spend, it's about how much profit or loss you make at the end of it.

That's why PSG signed Aurier and possibly di Maria on "loan." They take the player on "loan" now and then buy him next season. It's a loophole in FFP.
