It's probably how Ed did those transfers.
So, barring any serious injury, what are we predicting him to get? Without CL or Carling Cup, I reckon he will hit around the 20 mark, which is a conservative guess. It's hard to predict when our team is in such a shambles right now.
Well lets pray that Shaw and Rafa are fit ASAP. Once that happens, there is no place in the starting 11 for Valencia and Young.
We have just signed the best no 9 in the world. We have just signed Radamel Falcao- i was listening to Ballbag on SSN yesterday saying everything is inside the area with him- he seen half his goals?- the guy has everything barring blistering pace. Don't expect miracles right away but once this team gels- and it will- the results could be frightening.
He really is a player that score from nothing. He is one of the few players in the world that can boast such an outrageous youtube compilation! Scoring bicycle kicks for him is the norm.
Am another who was gutted when we didn't manage to get Marcelo Salas. Falcao reminds me of him it's exciting.
Brenton Rogers....stick that in your pipe and smoke it.
RVP when fit is up there among the best no.9 in this world. Rooney is not bad as a no.9 too. And now we've got falcaoooo!!!!
I am exactly that - and for an old man - its great !
We're not great, historically, when it comes to buying a "finished" article. The United way is to buy young potential and nurture into top class players. Maybe RVP changed that (for one season anyway). I dont care who he's played for, he's a top top player, and for him to come to United is fantastic
Looking back at our premier league list of number 9's, we've had some cracking players, Falcao though is another planet!
Falcao!!
Falcao!!
I don't know why but people think that Falcao is a poacher when he is closer to a Ronaldo without the pace.
Evans ahead of Jones?!
Falcao is a marvellous signing.
If he settles in as quickly as Diego Costa has for Chelsea, he might tear up the prem.

6m lone fee with an option to buy is a no brainer, if he has fully recovered from his injury and can get back to his previous form we have the best No 9 in world football.
Fantastic signing. Welbeck will soon be a distant memory.
Fantastic signing. Welbeck will soon be a distant memory.
In a big game, if both were fit, at least you know that Evans has performed on the highest stage. I consider him our best and most experienced cb.
Funny how everyone was saying we lacked pace in our strikeforce and that was the key issue. Yet are all rejoicing at blowing so much on a poacher who has zero pace. Fans are just blinded by big names and quickly forget that we haven't even addressed and sorted our main issue in this transfer window. The midfield is still a joke for a club of this stature. Take out our only semi decent midfielder in Herrera and we have a bunch of clowns and pub footballers to choose from.
Instead of talking about us signing one of the best number 9's in the world, the media and everyone else are worried about where he's going to fit in for us 
I's a fantastic signing and it's got our rivals shitting it.
I's a fantastic signing and it's got our rivals shitting it.I've put the nonsense in bold.
I just feel like repeating the words.. Radamel.Falcao.Garcia... and then shouting 'yaaaaaay yaayay' at regular intervals thinking about this transfer.
I feel this is phase one of Van Persie potentially being phased out.
Quite possibly the biggest load of shite I've ever seen written on here... And that really is saying something.
Its true though. The main rhetoric recently has been pace pace pace. Everyone wanted a striker who has pace and could put defenses on the back foot. Its pretty clear that everyone is just blinded by the bright lights of a star name. If we signed Huntelaar for example who is quite similar to falcao everyone would be like "great another forward with no pace". I just find it laughable how everyone has suddenly forgotten about what they actually wanted in the team just because woodward dangled a shinny new toy in their faces.
i dont give a shit what people think of our transfer policy, they change their opinions on a daily basis and you cant get them happy no matter what you do. Last year, everyone said we needed at least 5 to 6 top players, now be buy 6 players and they start critisizing us again. Absolute clueless. Lets keep Danny and Chicha and promote the youngsters that earent good enough yet and end up at 7th plaxe again. United need to buy world class players, their asquad isnt good enough compared to City or Chelseas they said. Always the same thing, fecking moaning cnuts, bashing us no matter what we do. Sick of it.
Ah! Was wondering where you negative nancies were? Blowing so much on a poacher? Its £6m for the entire year plus his wages. What did you think when we signed RVP? If it was the same, that blew up in your face because he was instrumental in helping us win the title his first year. And Falcao isn't slow. He certainly isn't slower than RVP. Welbeck had pace and played up front. Did it help?
We have signed two midfielders this window and our best one isn't back from injury. And who played for us two years ago in midfield when we won the title? Was it Zidane and Makelele? No we had a shit midfield back then as well. We have improved on it this summer along with the shit we had two years. So put aside your pessimism for a bit the enjoy the fact that we have just signed the best #9 in the world. Radamel fecking Falcao! And if you're a wum well then feck off, because I hate wums.
Falcao has pace, though. Maybe not electric pace like Ronaldo or Bale, but he's surprisingly quick and strong for his size. He's also one of the best in the world when it comes to movement off the ball, which compensates for a lack of pure speed.
You do realise that Falcao actually does have pace right?
He's an explosive striker who relies on pace and power.
No he doesn't. Please don't start with the whole "deceptively quick" description fans use for top players who're slow just because they can't accept that a player they rate is slow. Off the ball movement is not the same as being fast. One is useful against defenses who sit and defend deep as Van Persie has demonstrated throughout his career, another is effective at stretching defenses, dragging defenders out of their position, capitalising on counter attacks, beating players and creating your own chances etc.I remember a similar excitement when Mata was signed. Quality player no doubt about it, but did he address our main issues? No and now fans are starting to doubt whether it was a good decision to sign him.
Is buying Suarez phase one of Barca phasing out Messi or Neymar?

Looks like a proper snail here.
Same here then.
Why are people saying Falcao isn't quick?
He's always looked quick whenever I've watched him play.

Yeah he is quick. Great burst of pace to get a yard for himself.Why are people saying Falcao isn't quick?

Because he doesn't have Valencia or Ronaldo quickness. But weirdly enough no one says that Messi, Ibrahimovic or Suarez are slow.
Anyone got a link to the interview?
I think this is two different scenarios. Messi and Neymar are both comfortable playing in wide positions if need be. I see van Persie and Falcao as proper number 9's.

You obviously haven't watched much of Falcao, you are describing quite a big part of his game.
Falcao similar to Huntelaar. No chance. He's so much more than just a poacher.
No chance. He's so much more than just a poacher.It makes sense at his age to start to pull back his minutes, with two striker positions in the 352 he'll play plenty.
