    Rumours doing the rounds that Radamel Falcao has been lying about his age and that he is in fact 29 years of age (not 27).

    Problems that could arise if these rumours prove true are:

    1. He would have played in the u20 world cup at the age of 21.
    2. Monaco would have paid £53m for a player 2 years older than they thought he was.

    Thoughts?

    Remember that Nigerian who played for Inter with the weird dreadlocks, his surname was West I think, he was like 12 years older than he said he was.

    This is from a couple of years ago, and is starting to ring eerily true.

    http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/fo...ness-since-age-of-12-says-David-Gonzalez.html

    Aberdeen goalkeeper David Gonzalez is a compatriot of Falcao's and he expects him to put Neil Lennon's reshuffled defence to the sword.
    "I worked with him when we went together to the under-17 national team - but he was only 12 years old!" said Gonzalez. "He was already so good that he was coming to train with us at under-17 level.
    "Of course there was a surprise in the group. When you are a 16 year-old and you've made it to the national team then they bring in this 12 year-old, we were asking, 'What is going on here? Why are they bringing this kid in?'
    "But he soon showed that he could have made it into the squad. They didn't put him in for the games, eventually, but he could have made it.
    "He has always been a big lad. When he was 12 he could easily play alongside 15 or 16 year-olds and, with his body weight, hold his own.
    "People used to say that he was going to be the best player in Colombia, even when he was only 12 or 13. There was a big difference between him and other players of his age.
    "For that reason he went to River Plate when he was only 14 or 15 years-old. Now he is a world-class player."
