I accept it without any fuss.He's a devout Christian too.
Yeah but he's probably the wrong type of devout Christian.
He's the ideal striker for us right now, Falcao doesn't need 10 chances to score a goal. You give him 1 good opportunity to shoot and the ball is at the back of the net. Build team around Falcao and watch the goals going inside the net if he regains his Madrid form.
Jamie didn't look to happy when he heard we signed Falcao...
Gary wasn't feeling his pain!
Nev looks like he just ejaculated
I don't get why this gif is so funny.
To be honest it's not the actual signing of Falcao that really excites me - it's what it represents, being the fact that it now seems that we can compete with the very best clubs for the very best talent where needed.
I don't want United up be like Real Madrid but I do want to see some ambition in the transfer market as the reality is, you need to be able to buy big to compete long term.
The biggest "signing" this year is Van Gaal in my opinion and I'm most excited about that.
Seeing us sign DiMaria and Falcao while being out of the Champions League makes me thing who we could of bought over the last 10 years if we had been willing to splash the cash.
Its just a shame its taken us dropping out of the Top 4 for us to finally splash the kind of cash a club as big and as rich as us should be.

Indeed. Our immense spending spree this summer was more down to making up for years of lack of spending. I doubt we'll ever see a summer in which we spend so much money again as hopefully we will adopt a more stable structure of strengthening in a particular area, rather than throughout the whole team as we had to do this summer. That, and replacing world class players with world class players, when they leave or age past their peak. Something that we have also failed to do in years.
I really hope he goes about setting the pace from the go. Really excited to see him on the pitch.
Just put him in my fantasy team alongside Diego Costa.
So do we have a clearer picture yet on whether Falcao IS actually our player like Ballague said (4 year deal but first year is classed as a loan because of FFP) or is it a 'true' one year loan with an option to buy?
I think its the second option. Its a loan with an option to buy.
Interesting. I fear we could get another Tevez situation and we don't end up buying him.
Its going to be an annoying season in that sense.
I think we wanted to play it safe. We wanted to be sure we're getting the Falcao of Atletico Madrid and not just a shadow of his former self. 50m euros is a big transfer fee on a player who's condition is yet to be proven after surgery.
I have no doubts El Tigre will regain his greatest form within a few games.

Good thing about this signing is that it will make Rooney and rvp have to work hard to be starters. He's a genuine threat to them unless were making place for all three at once.
I think it depends on how he does. Hypothetically speaking if he stays fit and makes an impact like RVP did his first year by scoring 25-30 goals, then I honestly can say we will get him next summer. We showed this summer, money is not an issue for us. We will further build our squad next summer and if he have to pay we will because there aren't many #9's available in the market. RVP will be 32 before next season starts and who knows what condition he will be in.
I still can't believe we have Falcao and Di Maria at United! If anyone would of said that end of may I would of told them to go feck themselves. Absolutely amazing. It's a great feeling. Really hope they will gel soon and get back to winning ways.
Not to forget we have Louis Van Gaal to take us there.

That post from @BarneyLFC sums up everything about him. How desperate
Which post?That post from @BarneyLFC sums up everything about him. How desperate
He comes over really well in that interview and talks like he is confident that the move will be permanent.
On the pace discussion, he is quick of movement and fast over the first 10 yards which is what is more important in a #9, he wont run the length of the pitch flat out like Di Maria or Ronaldo but he doesn't need to.
Reminds me of this nearly Untied striker a swell.

I am delighted. We need this type of player so much. This type of aggressive south american players (Tevez, Edmundo) often go very well in the PL compared to the more technically gifted primadonnas.
This transfer also brings back memories of Marcelo Salas - a guy I always dreamt of having in my team. So about 15 years later on we finally get our own version of the animal.

Since we've already got him anyway, question is, why not Real ? They've needed a striker, I'd say he's better than Benzema, it looked like a done dealio to them. Surely it's not FFP that stopped RM so what's up ?
Just wish we hadn't sold Welbeck. The only player in our frontline who had something different. With RVP, Rooney and now Falcao, we have two "9.5s" and a pure 9. Welbeck had the tactical intelligence to play anywhere across the final third, we now have no one who can do that. I'm just very surprised that LVG could not see the similarities in Welbeck and Muller. Both are very adaptable, though Muller obviously has shown it on the higher level more.
Yep seen that all over Rawk. They really are desperate to make out Falcao is shit. I honestly think that if we signed Messi and Ronaldo, Rawk would make up some kind of scenario where they are shit and add nothing to us.
Would have predicted we'd end up with a new striker at the end of the transfer window, even as late as the day before deadline day. Even less predictable we'd get someone like Falcao. Have to be happy with a player like that. It's exciting despite it being a confusing signing. Thankfully others are paid to sort out where all these players will play, I just hope they get it right.

Jealousy is a terrible trait. Remember when Liverpool fans thought they would actually sign him this summer
If anyone is in any doubt how good a signing this is for us, the scousers reactions confirm it.
They are shitting themselves.
ETA: Not just the scousers on here, but RAWK, FB, Twitter etc

Didn't work, check post #625
He tweeted a load of Tweets from some French guy who was saying Falcao underperformed in the French League, you know as some twisted scouse 'proof' of Falcao being shit.I wish I saw Barney's post
Have we unsettled the squad even further?
You forgot the arrows in front of Shaw and Rafael to make you look a tactical genius
But yeah that is it for me, surely?
I sort of think Carrick might still be better than Blind with actual talent in front of him in Di Maria and Herrera and maybe the front 3 will look better with Januzaj stretching play out right and a striker attacking from the left (likely Rooney or Falcao) next to a 9, like David Villa used to do or Lukaku does sometimes now.
But basically, yeah.
That's not what Mendes said. According to him United agreed to buy Falcao. Whether that agreement is on paper is a different thing, but if it is, I'd presume you would need to handle some kind of compensation to back out of it. FFP (from Monaco side) was the only reason you didn't buy him outright, I think.
Thats quite an ironic thing to say from someone with your username.
it's my birthday btw
Happy birthday for then my good man. Let's hope you have twice the reason to celebrate.
Wow can't believe I haven't posted in here yet. Welcome to United Radamel. Absolutely buzzing with excitement about this deal.
Just proudly bought my first ever Manchester United jersey.
