failed to sign Falcao! Apparently the columbian at the weekend had told team mates that he was on his way to City. His agent thought they could have a deal with City and Pelegrini was interested enough to tell Negredo that he wouldn't be able to gurantee him game time.
When the calculations were done despite their cash Madrid and City could not afford Falcao and only united could.
I loved the banner Legia had of UEFA the other day but finally UEFA can point to financial fair play impacting on euroupean football.

There is an argument that under the circumstances Arsenal wouldnt have been able to afford a straight buy of Falcao as we could only spend another 52 million before the Welbeck signing.
At least FFP is working now that City

A reported £6m loan fee and wages of up to £400k p/w for Falcao. Is that what they call FFP these days? Crazy money

doubt they are bothered about it. Thing is most of their fans didnt think they could attract good enough players without champions league so they are relieved to have signed decent players.

Really I thought it was more money? This video confirms the amount.
