#1 Radamel Falcao:

"I am happy because I have reached to an agreement with the officials for renewing my contract.

"Besides that it had expired on 30th June, I didn't want to leave River being out of contract, I want to River to receive the amount of money the club deserves for my transfer.

"I have been at River since I was very young so I owe many things to this wonderful club."
Don't see that kind of loyalty much, especially since doing this would probably cut down his signing-on fee or wages.
