Agreed with this. I have this feeling that he is going to come good for the last 6-8 games and make the decision even more difficult
Is there anything stopping us from just making a regular bid for the guy if we want him? I can't see it anyway.
Is that suppose to be a threat? Please let me know what clubs are interested and we'll send him over right away. LIAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The problem is a reasonable offer for him would be seen as insulting, you're looking at probably only just over a third of the agreed price.
Feck me. Had no idea we were paying him over a million a month in wages. Staggering.
Well he is excellent in the box, in a team that struggles to create chances then he will play like he has but in a team that creates then he is dangerous.
Personally I would play one up top and have him as a super sub, if we are attacking for the win then he could be dangerous coming off the bench.
I also think we likely will start creating chances consistently before the season is out so he could come good.
I doubt there is much interest in him, they could barely get rid of him in the last day of the transfer window last season. Now he is one year older and his reputation is pretty much thrashed after the season he's having.
The stink of desperation in his comments is pretty funny, tbf. All a bit Brent drunkenly ranting on his hotel bed.
I have this funny feeling that today Falcao will make his mark. In a good way.
My thoughts also.
I have a feeling he'll touch the ball a total of 9 times losing it each time through terrible control then do nothing else at all before being subbed at 70 minute mark and we will immediately improve in our play.
i had a friend who kept saying "arsenal look like winning the league this year" i think he stopped saying maybe three years ago. i guess if you keep saying it one day it will happen. maybe next season at inter or ac , hell could even be today , that a blind squirrel finding a nut theory comes true.
Dropped and rightly so, hope he comes on for RvP late in the match and has a positive reaction.
On the bench, very much deserved.
"This is gonna cost ya, this is gonna cost ya...".
Yep, RvP has shown why he should be benched for sure.
Earned £265000 by sitting on the bench this week. Should be totally ashamed of himself. Give your money to the starving people in the world. You're not worht it you snake. Have him cut the grass at Old Trafford tomorrow or something. Have him run around the stadium or anything to justify his wage.
Not only that but the deal that was agreed was 6mill for the loan and 44m for to complete the deal, meaning Monaco ( who are desperate to sell) would have made a slight profit for a striker 2 years older and with a cruciate injury under his belt.
Woodward was taken to the cleaners in those negotiations
Incredible. How do we get drawn into these awful deals in the same window that Costa went to Chelsea for 30m and Sanchez to Arsenal for 35m?
Sanchez is being paid 100 grand a week less than we're paying Falcao right now...
If we'd gone to the Sanchez deal and offered 40m and higher wages he obviously would be a United player right now. Disgraceful really.
But then I started a thread on our transfer strategies - https://www.redcafe.net/threads/why-is-our-transfer-approach-so-abject-and-shockingly-poor.401457/ - and it seemed most were happy with our dealings over the last 5 years.
For me there's been a real lack of logic in our transfers for almost 10 years - the fact that we even manage to get roundly fleeced in a fecking loan deal really takes the cake though!

He'll take dump in the Swansea team bath perhaps.
I know he has been poor so far, but I was still surprised he didn't come off the bench yesterday. The amount of times the ball was dropping free in the box, it was crying out for a poacher to be on the end of things.
When he has played we seem to have very little service. When he isn't playing the ball seems to be landing in the six yard box with nobody on the end of it. Not making excuses for him - has been well below expectations - but yesterday was a missed opportunity. Had he come on and salvaged a point, what might that have done for his confidence?

It's funny cause clubs actually have a choice about what they want to pay players. They can say no!!!!!! I'm not sure what people expected. Without being medical experts, we've seen enough of these injuries to know the rehab time is bloody long. He arrived her not fit, yet alone match fit. Even when fit, there were setbacks with other injuries. They he couldn't get match fit cause wasn't having a run of games.....
All this aside, he still might not have been good enough, transfers are a gamble.
......and it's not like he's joinning the 2008 utd team!!!! Di Maria arrived fit, great last season with Real, good World Cup, we paid 62m for him, and even he's struggling.

I know there are posters who don't care about fees/wages etc, but for a player who has contributed so little to the club to be earning that makes me want to cry. Considering how it would take me over ten years to earn that and I'm actually good at my job proves there is no god
Doesn't really matter whether he gets service or not. He would have missed anyway.
As far as I'm concerned I'd rather stick Fellaini up top than play Falcao.
We would actually be better off playing without forwards than with rvp or falcao at the moment, they slow everything down so much
I read some where that Falcao does a lot of charity work and helps out a lot of people back in Colombia.
Come on, who doesn't? It's part of their job today as footballers. I'm not impressed.
I am in no way justifying his wage or anything but to people actually believe he gets the full reported figure every week if he doesn't play?
The figures we here are what a player could earn. Again, I'm sure he took home a ridiculous amount of money this week but I think people have to get some of the figures out of their head.
Why do you think so many players get the shits when they are on the bench or don't play...it's because they don't get paid as much.

Monaco's #9 is better then our #9, and we signed ours from Monaco, while they signed theirs from us.
Thats fecking depressing.

They signed him from Fulham.
I think RvP being out will help him. RvP is probably the worst potential partner for him at the club.
Regardless I would rather his minutes were given to Adnan/Mata/Wilson

Lets buy Berbatov back from Monaco for £60m and play him and RvP up top together, Falcao can slot in behind them as a number 10 with Rooney in CM partnered by ADM.
Get Shevchenko out of retirement and play him and Fellaini on the wings.
Shove whoever's fit into the back 4. Sell DDG for peanuts to Real Madrid and play our manager's old mate Valdes in goal.

Are you ill?
Didn't you know that waffling absolute bollocks and then saying "Philosophy" is funny?
