Chelsea Transfers: 5 Cheaper Alternatives Than Radamel Falcao

4. Wayne Rooney

After surprisingly being left on the bench when Real Madrid came to town earlier this month, rumblings began even before the first ball was kicked on that controversial night regarding Wayne Rooney's future at Old Trafford. 'Is he still a key part of Sir Alex Ferguson's plans at Old Trafford?' was a question asked by many journalists in the following days, and it is indeed one worth considering here. With the currently blunt strikeforce at Stamford Bridge, Rooney would most definitely be a key part of any Chelsea team who would rely on him to aid what is likely to become a youthful Blues side over the next few years. His ability to grab a game by the scruff of the neck would be handy in big matches in England and in Europe and, unlike Falcao, he has vast experience of English football and his ability is unquestionable- he is one of the best talent produced in England in recent years. While he may not be a cheap option, he wouldn't require Chelsea to splash the cash quite as heavily as on the Colombian, unless Manchester United were to play hard ball if they sought to lure the Evertonian in from one of their rivals.
