He left around half hour after the game with Anderson apparently. So the rumors of him storming out appear to be nonsense.
 
feck up by LVG by not even having him on the bench, at the very least he would have ended up I jetting some energy into our play for the last 15, rather than us accepting defeat
 
Lol at the rumours. Falcao loves it here, 70,000 people signing his name after being stuck with 10,000 at Monaco :lol:
 
Players reputations go up by not playing, he was absolutely shocking against a league one side last week so Wilson deserved the spot on the bench.

The same Wilson who was just as bad in the same game and is yet to score a goal all season?

Wilson wasn't any better. He's only had a few cameos but he's looked like a headless chicken most of the time. Falcao is more likely to get you a goal so should've been on the bench IMO. Baffling to be honest.
 
Hope there's nothing wrong, we really need him until the end of the season, RvP is clearly decline, Rooney seemingly not a striker anymore, and Wilson has loads to prove, we really need this guy!

But personally I hope we don't buy him in the summer, at least for the reported fee.
 
He's got the wrong manager to work with from his individual perspective.

Fergie would have fitted him in whenever he can. Other managers would do so because they probably think Falcao can be played into form. LVG's philosophy doesn't subscribe to playing someone into form (except his beloved RVP). If you've been out of the side for injury you have to earn your way back in, or wait for someone else to get injured it seems. Right or wrong Van Gaal is known for his autocratic rule of players and not surprising he's had many bust ups in short spells at clubs.
 
If they were scoring 2/3 goals per game they wo



Eh no he said PER game. It's pretty clear what he meant.

He worded it incorrectly, but it's obvious from his comment afterward that he did mean a goal every two out of three games.
 
Of course it's pretty clear that I meant 0.(6) goals per game...

No it wasn't. If you had said 0.6 goals per game it would have been obvious but 2/3 goals per game is a shorthand way of saying 2 or 3 goals per game. Someone else thought you meant 2 or 3 goals per game too. As the poster below me says you worded it incorrectly so how could it be clear what you meant?After reading some peoples expectations for Falcao on here it wouldn't surprise me if some people actually expected that sort of return from him which is why I thought that's what you meant.

Please, stop your bs.
 

Oh so if it's not on wiki then it's wrong? :rolleyes: Fact of the matter is me and another poster thought you meant 2 OR 3 goals a game and another, although they knew what you meant, said you worded it incorrectly.

Anyhow going way off topic here so will leave it at that. I now know what you were trying to say so no point continuing a pointless debate.
 
Falcao rumours of storming off are lies anyways. He was at the game in his private box. A friend of a friend sits right infront of it. He was there as late as 10 minutes to go.
 
If RVP is injured we will soon see what manager thinks of him, increasingly difficult to see a future for him and hopefully we are looking at alternative targets for the summer.
 
Whatever Falcao does for the rest of the season I don't see a scenario which ends with us buying him. van Gaal has repeatedly stated he prefers multi-functional players and this guy just isn't that. We'd be better of investing the money in wide players.
 
Why did we spend so much on him? He's fit and he ought to be starting. Leaving a £35m+ out of the squad seems to be a decision only a loony would make.

Didn't Falcao play 5 games in a row? How many more do he need to get into form?
 
Ah, then in that case he should start every game over him now.

Well, If im honest none of our strikers should start this days. Have all been useless most part of our season, even Rooney, I'm not sure If he is still good as striker, he is clearly not good enough as midfielder.
 
So, if you had to decide now, do you cough up the 30 odd million plus a few years of hefty wages for him?

Not worth it. I would like to see that money spent on wide players like Depay/Reus and use Rooney as a striker (the guy is the third highest goalscorer in PL, he shouldn't be used anywhere else than in his natural position).
 
I really want to sign him to a long term contract but so far he has nowhere near even justified his Ronaldo/Messi size wages let alone a £40million transfer fee which would make him for second biggest transfer of all time.

One of Van Persie/Falcao should be moved on, how on earth can we have two similar strikers on over £200k per week? Madness.
 
He is a box player. He needs service, preferably from wingers, maybe we should try him out in a 4-2-3-1. I haven't given up on him at all.
