The fat lady has well and truly sung. Falcao can't turn this around unless LvG changes the system to a 4-3-3 with him spearheading.

I thought he might go to Asia or even more likely USA for a minute but then I think he'll want to stay in Europe for a few more years before heading somewhere else for his last big pay check. He will look back at that Monaco move with great regret, not only Atletico managed to improve considerably after he left and ended up winning trophies while he lingered around 2nd/3rd place in France playing in front of 10,000 people, he also got an injury that cost him his last World Cup place and it doesn't look like he's ever going to perform for a big club again. What looked like a shrewd deal in the Summer looks like very bad business right now, the likes of Real Madrid, Chelsea and City really dodged a bullet here.
fecking Fellaini is a better striker than him.
He's not staying.
He'd slow us down and hold us back in 433 too. Just not good enough for this level anymore, he would actually look out of place at West Brom the way he's been playing recently.
Even he must know now that there is zero chance he will get a permanent deal, best for everyone involved to bench him and move on, his reputation would probably benefit by not playing.
He wouldn't get in their team.
I know you're not supposed to post gifs in football related forums, but I came across this.
Does he have shit eye sight? Could explain a lot....Or was he just being petulant?

laters falcao
I'm actually not sure what would be worse, that he was being a knob, or that he actually couldn't see the board 
Fellaini is a better number 9 than him. Just send him on holiday and put Wilson on the bench, he's done here.
Pains me to say it but he needs to stop being played.
It was worth trying, I was excited when he arrived, but it ain't worked and its not going to change between now and May.

Even his effort and good attitude has gone now
He looks finished I'd rather start with Fellaini up top than Falcao.
I can't believe I actually dread seeing this guy on the team sheet now.
Such a shame, even sharper decline than Torres

Substitute appearances from now on, if we are injury free there is simply no way we can start him anymore.
I know we should obviouly keep performance threads open, but it's funny to know that after every game you get either regulars or new entrants coming in with the same "he's done" posts in the this thread; almost pointless to check it because the posts are identical. It really is a shame because of what we could have potentially had after seeing what he has done during his career, but unfortunately he doesn't seem to have won over van Gaal to see, and rightly so with what he has brought to this club. Great work ethic, loves the club, but the injury seems to have killed that natural killer instinct he had.
Yep, don't blame the club for trying- for £6M plus wages it was worth a shot because of how good he was but I really hope we haven't already signed him.
Felt sorry for him when he came off, he really has declined 
United were so much better when he came off.

Far worse decline than Torres, shevcheko too
It's mendieta level of decline. He looks done
It's a shame that he isn't the player he was, and that it just hasn't happened for him. We would be a better team with a form Falcao in it. Alas.
I think he might have problems with his eye sight because I have seen him wearing glasses when the team have been on nights out. That doesn't excuse his performance tonight though, truly awful.I sure hope that wasn't a sarcastic squint from him, because he can't fecking ran or control a ball.
Imagine sitting on the United bench as Marouane Fellaini outperforms you as a striker.

Stick him in our team with Hazard, Cesc, etc and I think he'd be scoring loads.
If we win the league I can see Drogba retiring. Falcao wouldn't be a bad replacement as long as the asking price isn't ridiculous.

Well, hopefully you sign him then!
Someone buy him a one way ticket back to Monaco please. Just holding us and Wilson back.
You obviously haven't seen some of his misses this season then.
I don't think he's struck one clean shot yet.
How's that going to help him control a ball?
Thing is, if we were to sign him and he gets back to being the Falcao of old, how bad would it make you guys look?
He'd have done a lot better in the system we used at the end, but he was shite up till that point. Rooney was worse though.
I don't believe Falcao is salvageable. Honestly bro.
Mate it seems the ball literally has to be put across the goal line for him to score. He isn't showing any other qualities and looks so devoid of self belief. The ball doesn't stick, he can't get in behind, he can't win aerial duels, his touch is erratic and he looks on the verge of collapsing so often. Early on in the season he showed some energy without doing much productivity wise but as the season has gone on it's like having Samaras.
How?
His general play is piss poor and he lacks any pace. People need to stop talking about systems.
Its not our fault that the lad can barely walk, never mind run. Let alone control a football.
You could stick him in a team with Messi, Ronaldo, Neymar and Hazard, and all it would do is magnify just how poor he is.
Fair enough, but I don't think he's "Torres'd" yet. I think he's just very low on confidence and can't really get himselft into form becasue he's in and out of the side and playing with so many different combinations of teammates.
Think what he needs is a long run in a settled side to get the best out him again.
