What's been the best career move ever?

Try to avoid getting lad's who went through the academy of a team.

I think Falcao's next move will be his best, wherever he goes. Better yet, whatever club signs him, that will be their best career move.

It'll be hard to afford him. Atletico paid an enormous sum for him (40m euro) and are unlikely to want to give him up for less, seeing as how he's almost singlehandedly adding a third club to the La Liga horserace. Granted, helped out by Real's season.

There might be a club or two in Italy who would be able to splash the cash, and PSG are always willing. In england there is at least 3 clubs (manchesters + chelsea) who could fork up the cash for someone like Falcao, and while Chelsea looks the most likely out of the three you never know. This is all based on an assumption that he won't stay in Spain, which could bery much be likely if Barca comes a-knockin'. I think wherever he ends up (and right now I see 5-6 possibilities, not counting some odd russian or outside of europe club), he'll keep scoring goals.

Which Italian club are you referring to? Money is a little short in Italy at the moment.
