Tony Barrett has just confirmed that we did, in fact, inquire about getting Falcao but we were told he's off to Madrid. So unless that moves break down, we'll be looking elsewhere. Also said the loan fee was £12m, which, with wages added, would go up to £22m, so it makes sense that we backed out. Paying that much for a loan alone isn't very responsible. Madrid however, could probably afford that. Does show that the club is showing intent for a big name and will get one if the deal is right so fingers crossed they can get someone of that calibre in before the window shuts. Thanks.
