The kid is a product of Spain and every time I have seen him play he has looked good. He has skill and flare which is great however he just can't crack the bench. Better than Livermore, so what is holding him back? P.s didn't like him Talking up the Bale for madrid topic...maybe he is trying to get a crack by freeing up his competition lol

Livermore is a different position Falque is more of a winger from what I've seen of him. Although good I have a hunch that Ceballos is far more likely to get extended use in the first team. Just have to look at who he has to get ahead of to play in Sigurdsson, Townsend and Chadli. At 23 I can't see it happening with us now
Surely he is good for a bench spot? Livermore has sandro, dembele, holtby, paulinho, Parker, huddlestone etcetera to compete with. Yes, I know they may not all be there next year however atm they are ahead of him and he still hss a bench spot over falque who I feel offers more for us. We are going to lose quality, you only have to look at dos santos
I don't think you can really compare Livermore with Falque, they're as different as it gets!
He featured in Redknapp's Europa league squad seemed descent.
Thats the point...livermore plays a more defensive role which I feel we have so much more to offer in his position. Falque is a winger/creater which has far less competition
Have never rated him. Seemed a really random signing at the time and can't see how he'd improve the current squad. Reckon he was bought with a profitable sale in mind and nothing else.
A couple of first team appearances at 23 suggests this isn't going to happen.
But his fucking face is on FIFA13. FIFA deemed him good enough to have an actual player modeled face. Definitely first 11 by January:soldadolol:
The times I've seen him he's looked very promising. Didn't he do quite well in Spain last season? Loan to a lesser PL club would be ideal I think.
Have we even signed him yet? Im confused
He's gotten a loan to a club that finished 8th in La Liga last season, not bad going. He's still 23, even if he doesn't make it at Spurs he'll be worth a transfer fee which will likely be more than what we paid for him, especially if he performs well in La Liga. Right now he's where Giovanni Dos Santos was with us, without the international performances and we made a decent amount back from him considering.
I agree, this is good for all parties concerned. I think Chadli's decent, but not quite sold on him yet and think it was worth having a look at Falque before the window ended. Oh well, maybe he'll set La Liga alight and come back and compete next year or we'll get a good fee for him. Good luck to the guy. Score plenty of goals on Real Madrid for us, bud.
Indeed. Naughton came back from his Norwich loan last season at the age of 23 and has been a squad player. Rose came back at the age of 23 and looks like getting an extended run in the first team. If Falque can come back next season and do the same we haven't done badly.
I think this is a good system we have, I know a lot of people just look at the player's age and made judgments just from that (e.g. Dawkins, Obika) and others see failed loans and make judgments on that (e.g. Carroll, Kane) but the club at least base their decisions on factors that matter, i.e. ability and potential.
Not really sure I understand your question :/
Probably more than any of us make in a year or at least near to it.
