I'm not so sure of that, he is by all accounts the most powerful man in football these days. Remember how much influence he had at Real when Mourinho was there. Although, I agree that it is a stretch what I suggested there.

Still, I assume it would hinge on whether De Gea wants to leave or not not. He can't make demands using him if he refuses to sign for someone else.
I think it's BS that agents even play a part in decision making when in most cases they only care about themselves.
Also, Mendes doesn't want bad relationships with one of the richest clubs, especially with FFP now.
That too. He'll probably have other clients in the future that could move to the club in big money deals, no point stirring the pot.
This! With Mourinho gone and Ronaldo on the decline in 1-3 years or whatever his power with RM has already been and will be further weakened. Therefore he can't afford to make us too angry.
Red, white and blue. Falcao is the only #mufc player who has scored competitive goals in all three kits this season.
He's lucky we don't have a fourth kit then.
Why do people talk as if Agents simply control players like puppets? Its the same in De Gea's thread.
I suspect its because the agents are the ones who directly engage in contract talks, and because their fee is often determined by big transfers or contracts. If a client isn't the type who is inclined to sit-in on contract talks, or perhaps isn't the brightest spark, you can imagine that it'd be pretty easy for an agent to misrepresent things or otherwise mislead their client in a way that would benefit the agent personally.
In reality, some players will trust their agents more than others and some players will wish to be more directly involved in things like transfers and contract talks than others. It'll certainly be a spectrum but the potential for abuse of trust is there.
Ofcourse there is an element of control. What I'm saying is that if a De Gea or a Falcao want something, they will get it, they arent kids. Agents are there to get them the best possible deal. But if you go by these 2 threads, its as if Mendes will decide their future. If he acts the cnut, there is nothing to stop either party from just ditching him and negotiating the deal themselves and Mendes knows that too. So if De Gea wants to stay, Mendes will simply look to get him the best possible contract. He cannot force De Gea to leave just because we might not sign his other client Falcao.
As that's the case shame we don't play in a different colour every week.
Would like to see him dropped tomorrow with Di Maria coming into the side, if RVP doesn't perform then bring him on but I think we are a better team with only one of those two playing and at the moment I think RVP is the better of the two.
I'd really love to see Falcao partner Wayne up top, with say, Mata operating behind them. Falcao seems to occupy similar positions to that of van Persie, so when they play together, they don't seem to click as well. Rooney and Falcao would be a different partnership and in my opinion could work really well. Rooney with his high work rate as well as some (limited) creativity, along with Falcao's intelligent movement and clinical finishing could provide some really entertaining play in the final third.
I just feel that when he is playing with Robin, they seem to cancel eachother out a little bit, making the same runs and not really connecting well enough. I'd even go as far as saying that sometimes it feels that we're playing with 10 men. So for that reason I hope they're given a chance at that partnership.

Not even on the bench. I though he will be more effective than RvP today.
He is not even on the bench, injury?

Shame he isn't starting. My only issue with the starting line up.
Injured again? Can't believe Wilson would make it for the 18 ahead of him.
It can't be an injury again.
If it is an injury and there's still any anyone that wants us to spunk £35million + to buy him can I have some of what you're on please....

Is there confirmation of this or are you inventing things ?
Likely giving him a rest. He did his ACL less than a year ago, has played a lot of minutes over Xmas. Seems most likely reason. Especially as we can afford, with the return of others.
Probably being rested. Though if it was just a rest you would assume he would be on the bench still. If it is an injury then that would just be beyond frustrating.
He's not injured. LVG's not stupid, he knows we needed the extra CM today.
RVP isn't getting dropped under him. Get used to it.

Why would he? He's our most reliable striker, oh and he didn't play last week.
This is pointless. Falcao class act but not worth the money with so much fitness issues to keep check.
So much time and effort has gone in getting him back but he simply doesn't fit the team, and English football is the worst for a player trying to recover to get into. He's looked without intensity when he has played and honestly, send him back. What's the point of having extra baggage to look out for? Work with what is ours.

If he was fit they could both be on the bench, we've got 3 Centre - backs on there!
I can understand dropping him from the starting eleven, I would've done the same to accommodate di Maria. But to not make the squad is strange, if he's not injured. And if he is injured, he's a crock. I don't think we should sign him, but I think we might.
That's true as well. Something is pretty wrong then, shame.
What else could be the reason?
I refuse to believe he's not on the bench unless he's injured. You don't leave a guy who can get you a goal out of nothing out the squad. Even when he wasn't fully fit a few weeks ago he was getting on the bench. And the last game we played was a week ago, which he was subbed off for too.
Well in this case it's going to be a long day in the 'LVG's substitutions' thread.
LVG denying an injury. Simply says he's not been selected.
He could be rested. He was wrecked over the Christmas games.
Really don't get that. If we need a goal off the bench then he would have been perfect and we haven't played for a week.
Wilson has done nothing to justify getting picked ahead of Falcao. Very strange.
ya not injured. glad about that. a little confused though
Wow.
If he can't get in when we have 3 Cbs on the bench then Van Gaal can't be too impressed with Falcao.
I mean he was proper shite against Yeovil but so were a lot of others.
Must be doing really well in training, that's the only explanation. A lot of our senior players said they were impressed with him in interviews.
He doesnt have to. The fact is Wilson has speed and can run past players with it and LVG will want that option as we have few players of that type
