Because he now has to pay tax on his wages and so monaco will probably look to sell!Why do people keep mentioning Falcao when Monaco signed him this summer?

Once again Shalke but its apparently now Draxler! I was praying it would be him!!you would think Dortmund would still be in the UCL in January
GreyFox said the player would see how his team is positioned in January or words to that effect. Would probably mean its a team that maybe dont expect to get out of the UCL knock out rounds.
Very few players who would go for £50m and that we'd be happy to pay that much for. It would have to be somebody who we felt would fire us into the CL and would at least maintain that sort of value for a few years so I'd reckon they'd be south of 25. I imagine that the player would be able to play instead or with Soldado OR they'd be an absolute world class left-winger who could also play as the number 10. Lastly, it's not Draxler. Also on the back of Grey Fox's info the club would have to be conducive to selling but be big enough that the player wants to stay and fight for a place.
So possible candidates
Suarez: Certainly fits most of the criteria but I *think* we'd avoid him on the basis of it being a PR nightmare.
Muller: Superb, young and versatile but is he a Pep player? Not sure myself. Would he come to us? Probably not, which again fits the billing.
Reus: Again fits the billing and Dortmund (like us) will always accept an offer at the right price. They'd probably rather sell him to us than watch Bayern swoop again. He could be wanting to stay to see how they do post-Gotze.
Hamsik: Not sure how much he'd fit in. Couldn't have seen Napoli accepting offers for him and Cavani in the same window unless Rafa completely wanted to build the team in his own image. Again could be waiting to see how Napoli do with Benitez (swimmingly by the looks of it)
Can't think of anybody else. We're not daft enough to pay £50m for Hulk, Pastore or Rooney. Chelsea would never sell us Mata. PSG wouldn't sell Lucas Moura. Falcao's wages would be way, way out of our league. Ribery and Ibra are too old.
Wasn't Iniesta was it? Rumour that a Premiership club made a bid over the summer.
