Unless he goes on a goal scoring run from now until the end of the season he has no chance of being signed on a permanent basis.

We have posters wishing injury on Falcao? Wow.
RVP getting an easy ride for missing a chance created by Falcao while Falcao is getting absolutely slated after he did excellently to create his own chance? Both missed easy chances but only one having injury wished on him.
Massive double standards in this thread. Clearly he doesn't look the player he once was but he's nowhere near as bad as people make out.
Looked very strong today, held the ball up well, played the right pass a few times and the wrong pass a few times. Created 2 chances, missed 1 chance.

If you can find where I said he's amazing, I'll respond.
Until then, be thankful for Blind's goal keeping you 7th and not dropping to 8th. You must have celebrated with us.
Agree once again. Post match reaction to him is getting ridiculous, RAWK standard.
Poor game from Radz today, but he was bought to finish chances he gets, even if that's one chance like he got today, and he disappointed.
Love the guy, really wanted him to be a success here. But I feel the same as everyone else, it would not be sensible at all to spend 40 mil on him, and we certainly will not be.
He isn't likely to do either imo. He's a shell of the player he was 2-3 years ago and will never again be remotely as good.
Yep. Those are the chances he should be gobbling up and it's his whole purpose in the team really. He's had his opportunity now in my eyes and we should end this experiment. Proper squeaky but time already and we can't have any passengers.
It's got to the stage where signing him permanently would be nothing other than mental. I just can't see it.
To be brutally honest, his body strength and battling is the only thing he does well now. The rest of his game is appalling.
He is a battler, I'll give him that, but there's just no spark there for me. I genuinely don't think he was bad today but he wasn't good either. I thought it would be these kind of tough, take-your-one-chance games where he'd come into his own.
He's running out of time.

I wouldnt even say heis even that good at it.
I love short sightedness. You do realize that if Kane and Eriksen keep producing like this, big clubs will inevitably come in for them with big wages, and you'll be forced to sell?
I love how you're always lurking in the corner waiting to drop a stink bomb.
If I was in charge of Utd's spending I'd go all out to sign Kane actually. And I mean all out.
I actually don't think he's as bad as he's made out to be. He just doesn't work with RVP at all. Give him someone like Wilson or Rooney beside him and I think he'll be a very different player. You can occasionally see the quality he has when he holds off defenders and sets up other players. Still not convinced he'd be worth signing though.
It's like we're talking about Cameron Jerome.
More often than not he's outmuscled. He had a bit more success the 2nd half today, but over the course of the season its been a low point for him
His build up play was ugly today.
Persisting with Falcao and RvP together could cost us a top 4 spot. It's that detrimental.
Falcao doing a Torres at United and Torres doing a Falcao at Atletico.
This is the first time he's looked more like his old self, for me. More successful in shielding the ball and turning defenders around, and that one time he looked to turn the ball and set himself up for a clear chance, it bumbled a bit and thus went the wrong way. Would've been an incredibly well-crafted sitter if he'd managed it.
He's earned more game-time, for me. He'll come good.

He's very hit and miss. One minute he looks like the hulk, holding off 2 or 3 players, the next he's being bundled off the ball with ease.
In all the honesty, the fact that we've resorted to a discussion about his best feature being how good his hold up play is, kind of shows what a disaster of a signing he's been.
I'm thinking more Emile Heskey, but with less step overs.
The time to take a decision over him should come soon. If we decide not to buy him, I don't see any reason to keep starting him every game, I honestly don't think he's offering much and he will only get more frustrated every game.
It was a strange transfer from the start, probably the main reason why Rooney is playing midfield.

Start Rooney and Wilson up top with Mata behind. Let's inject some pace and energy into the front line..
Useless posts above again, what does playing with RVP have to do with missing sitters? No excuses for him mate, he's been bang average, even Danny Ings has been at least twice as good, very very poor.
That would be worth a go.
Even then, would a good three months or so outweigh the pretty abject 5 or 6 months he's had thus? Even if he had a good last few months and knocked in 15 goals odd I would be pretty worried all we'd have been seeing was something akin to a dead cat bounce. IMO the player he was is gone and the player he is isn't good enough to do what we need him to do. Let's just move on to the next client Mendes convinces Ed to waste our money on.
He was really poor in general and that miss in the 2nd half was shocking. Just completely the wrong technique and execution, was the kind of finish you'd expect from a defender.
I thought he was slightly better than RVP for what it's worth but that's neither here or there. He shouldn't be getting signed permanently in the Summer.

I can only echo what most people seem to feel. He's not worth the massive cost to sign him permanently. I hope he proves me wrong for the rest of the season but can't see it at the moment.
Plus there's barely any chance that he'd suddenly recover his form and go on a scoring run. Has an underperforming striker ever suddenly recover his from and scored 10+ in the space of 3 months?
I was really excited about Falcao coming here but that excitement has turned into massive disappointment by now.
I'm not sure what game you were watching, cause nearly every time I seen him on the ball, the next second he'd lost it.
you , me and united's nation.
Good luck finding a club that's going to pay him £265,000 a week on top of a £43million transfer fee.
I can't imagine that any team will be willing to meet his asking price to be honest.
Well he's on loan at United, so that isn't our problem.
RVP and Falcao is the complete opposite of Cole-Yorke tandem ie two prima donnas, whose past their best and offer no pace or creativity at all.
You think this game today where he missed and sitter and was probably the worst he has been so far was Falcao looking like his old self?
I refuse to believe a human being posted this legitimately.
I reckon people will still be excusing his performances this season for years to come. It's bizarre.
Definitely not the worst he has been, his all round play was good at times. Nothing like old Falcao though.
I've made my mind up on him now though and it's a no.
The £6m loan punt, would I do it again? Definitely.
