Can't wait to see him play! I hope he's still as good as before his injury. Hate these international breaks.

You know something is wrong when there are more people crying about Danny leaving than those who are genuinely excited that one of the best players in the world has joined Manchester United. I just can't get this forum sometimes. We don't spend everyone crying that we're not spending, we actually spend and add 2 world class players together with 4 exciting players to our team and these same people are crying about losing our identity. I just can't even come up with a reason why there's even a single person that is against making this transfer permanent in the other thread.
I can come up with only one reason, maybe they just don't know the kind of level this player is.
I love the way he sort of sets his hair at the later part of that interview.

i think a lot of people were chuffed when they heard we would sign him. But when they heard Danny is leaving, it was like this transfer never happened. They are all absolutely down and talk about identity, but forget that we have a massive challenge in front of us this season. I am absolutely delighted about Falcao, still cant believe we have him. Fantastic really.
We're just the team they want kick at the moment for some reason, no matter what we do.
Maybe Arsenal can be the shining example for English football or a while now.
Do they know we have Rooney, Smalling, Jones, Shaw, Blackett and potentially Wilson for the England team(we also had Cleverley and Welbeck just a day ago too)? I don't understand how people can say Man utd are going to be a foreign team and are effecting the the England team.
We need a good balance, which we do have!

When will be the earliest occasion to see him live? Any friendlies maybe?
Next Saturday, 1:30 am against Brazil. I know I'll be watching it.
Great comments, but not surprised to hear this. I can imagine him being quiet but someone who has that aura around them in the dressing room. Our players will have so much respect for him.
Anyone else feel like he'll have an RvP type impact? Maybe not taking us to the title, but taking us a long way nonetheless.
Nice. It's 3am for me and I'm out for the weekend so I will not, but you can make a summary of his performance. I will be watching you...Next Saturday, 1:30 am against Brazil. I know I'll be watching it.
Surprised to hear him speaking English decently, had no idea that he could. I'm so excited to see him banging goals in, his finishing is absurd
---------Falcao-----

Mata-----------Dimaria

So Balague was right about that down payment, then?
Have to be honest, I used to look at his face and think "what a cnut". That interview has just won me over. He looks like such a nice human being. It really does make a difference to me if our footballers are nice.
feck me. We signed Falcao. This hasn't really sunk in yet. A true galactico signing. I'm not for the whole galactico policy but there's something ever so exciting about this.
He is incredibly clinical and can score from pretty much anywhere, anyhow. If he's fully recovered, he's going to score goals. Sexy ones too.

How did he end up at Monaco? Was it solely financial reasons? I remember around the time that Atletico were in a spot of bother with their own finances, but I can't be sure.
Still stunned.
Himself and Di Maria will certainly influence other world class players
To join in the future.

Just watched the interview. Seems like a really nice guy.
Ah, I see. Mendes is a sneaky so and so. Thanks.
I don't quite fecking understand how we got Di Maria and Falcao in the space of a week. Incredible. Can't wait to see us really get going in the coming months.
But now there is no third party involved and Monaco hold all his rights, no? Or is it that noone knows apart from Mendes and Co?
Hello lads. Thought I'd give my two cents. I posted this in the other thread and since I put some effort into this post, I'd like some of opinion on the matter. Because here is where we have all the reaction best
Let me assuage some of the worries about Falcao and give some insight into the man.
What is Falcao all about?
Bucket load of goals. Ridiculous consistency. Hard worker. Humble man.
What are his best attributes?
Tremendous finishing capability. Tremendous in the air. Tremendous in movement off the ball. Good at link-up play in counters.
What are his best physical attributes?
- He's had one major injury and that's the cruciate to his knee. Apart from that he's super fit and not often injured. Built impressively as well.
- He may be a short man but he's got a great spring on him and he is phenomenal at heading.
- He is NOT reliant on pace. In his younger days at Porto and Atletico Madrid, he did use his pace in counters, but 90% of his game is about truly great movement. He's a very intelligent player who has the ability to look at a defence and instantly pick out its weaknesses. Uncanny.
- Has loads of stamina as well.
What about his mentality?
It's one of his greatest assets. He's got that state of mind the great players like Ronaldo and Messi have. Unflinching in the face of opposition. Even during injury, doctors were said to have been surprised by the steely resolve he had in doing rehabilitation. He's an emotional man who attaches himself deeply with the team he plays for. He was sold to Monaco for £50m and with that money Atletico Madrid were able to build a great team. He didn't ask for the transfer. At United, he will not be affected one bit by all the negativity. The man exudes confidence and brilliance. Full of class - He even went and calmed Soner Ertek, the idiot who did his knee in with a horrible tackle by saying - "
Soner Ertek thanks for your posts . Do not blame yourself for what happened are accidents of football." (bad google translation but you get the point.)
Because of his playing style, which is like Pippo Inzhagi except 10 times better in putting the ball in the back of the net, he can play at the top level for a good 4-5 years. The master of longevity, Ryan Giggs will be able to help him deal with his ageing body as well.
The only concern is his knee. The good thing is he's taken care of by Jorge Mendes. Mendes is a man known for taking great care of his players. He even has a medical wing to his company - Gestifute. If there's anyone who would make sure that his product is not destroyed by faulty rehabilitation, it's Jorge Mendes - He'd have the best of modern technology to help him. Remember he was rehabilitated in the supremely opulent setting of Monaco. Plus, loads of players recover from cruciate knee injuries. Not everyone is an 'Owen Hargreaves'. Look at good ol' Bebe after that nightmare injury at Besiktas. He had phenomenal season at Pacos, full of power and speed. By the way, he's Jorge Mendes's player as well

That's interesting about Jorge Mendes. Thanks for the post.
Still cant believe this. Still wake up everyday and check to make sure it wasn't just a dream.
I still haven't got over Di Maria tbh.
Thanks Woody and thankyou Glazers. You have made me as excited as I used to be at Christmas as a child.

Good post
It only happened last night.
Would have him as number 1 personally. Alexis runs him close if he's classed as a striker, otherwise Diego Costa is up there.
Hahah I know mate.
He's also a bible basher and anti-drugs campaigner who does a lot of youth work
Really looking forward to seeing him play! He's going to be a quality signing i think, just hope he gets the proper service to start scoring quite a few goals!

This signing kind of makes you forget we have signed Angel Di Maria and Daley Blind
Kind of confused and somewhat concerned (In a good way I guess) about who plays. Will Mata survive? Who plays in midfield? Do we drop the 352?
I hate the international break, roll on QPR

It's truly remarkable that we managed to pull this off. If we finally start clicking as a team, he'll destroy the league.
Will he be taking our penalties ?
