WEll they have certainly won a title each, but hardly major players when it comes to the champions league (and Man City barely competed for anything this year).
Falcao could have joined a top club that could have, he has joined monaco, who may well buy some success, but if he was more interested in actually competing for the top honours he would have joined a top club.
Monaco may well challenge for the french league, but he could have been challenging for the English or Spanish leagues AND the champions league.
He didnt, he chose to chase the dollar.
£10 says Monaco are in the Champions League the following season.
I'd also chose living in Monaco over living in Manchester.
