Atletico Madrid pulled off a bit of a transfer coup last week when they broke their transfer record to sign prolific Colombian striker Radamel Falcao Garcia from FC Porto for the grand sum of €40million.
A superb record of 72 goals in 87 games (a rate of a goal every 1.21 games) in two seasons at Porto suggests that Atletico have used the money raised from the sale of Sergio Aguero to Manchester City wisely. But history indicates that Falcao only thrives in certain setups and Atletico coach Gregorio Manzano would be advised to take heed of this when deciding upon his tactics for next season.
