Chicharito linked to Real Madrid

Javier Hernandez, better known as "Chicharito" to soccer fans, is being heavily linked to Spanish soccer club Real Madrid.  If true, this transfer would be a direct result from the Falcao deal not falling through for Real Madrid, who were trying to lure him away from A.S. Monaco on a one year loan deal as well.

From what we know, Chicharito has only played a total of 45 minutes this season so far in the Premier League for Manchester United.  Also, being that Benzema just signed an extension to hus contract, Chicharito will play the role of a back-up striker to the Frenchmen.  Not a bad back-up I think.  Chicharito is a decent player and his work ethic on the pitch is great.  His mobility inside the penalty box is great and his awareness on the pitch is pretty good. I'm sure he's going to make a few waves given the chance.

If rumours are true and "Los Blancos" sign Chicharito, will this conclude Madrid's shopping spree or will there be one more signing perhaps to fill the void of Xabi Alonso leaving?  Who would you like Madrid to sign? Let me know in the comments below, and also let me know about Chicharito's possible move to Madrid.
