#2 Radamel Falcao
There was a time when Radamel Falcao, the Colombian hitman, used to score 30+ goals every season. That’s how he earned his name “El Tigre” and then he cashed out his name coming to England.
Falcao signed for the Red Devils in 2014/15 season for an estimated £285,000 a week salary. There he scored 4 goals in the entire season in all competitions. The story doesn’t end here. The next season Chelsea kept their hope towards the dimmed star.
Falcao was clever enough to keep the ball rolling in his court so he took a large amount of wage cut and agreed to stay at the Stamford Bridge for an estimated salary of £140,000 per week. For the most part of the season, he was sidelined due to various injuries and was able to take part in only 12 games and scored only once in the entire season in all competitions.
In professional football, wages doesn’t make sense all the time but a name definitely does.
