seeing out leads for 15-20 looks to be his role now for the last 8.
Then it's cheerio, sorry it didn't work out.

He'd have to be able to control the ball first, in order to then give it away tbf.
Well, considering he only touched it twice and won a free kick one of those times, he didn't cause much damage then.
That's one way of looking at it. Two touches per 10 minutes is Mario Gomez territory, though, and tells us that Falcao isn't doing enough when he gets on the pitch.
Or it tells you that we sat back and invited pressure most of the 2nd half. In comparison, pretty sure Hernandez had like 3 touches in half an hour in a Madrid game earlier this season. Anyway, the team's mindset was completely different later in the game. Most of them just wanted to see it out.
That's true too. I wonder why Falcao was put on then, as it is not as if he became an outlet to take off the pressure.
That what I'm saying... make it happen.
Why is this thread not locked yet?
Don't be stupid.
Or at least change the "performances" to "cameos"
I'm no fan of the garbage Falcao has produced here, nor am I a fan of the numb-skulled, borderline Daily Mail reader, 'whadda bloody thoroughly awesome guy' angle many posters have bafflingly taken with him, but this is just needless and nasty in my opinion.
I'm sure you didn't mean it, but it has to be pointed out that he's not a 'parody of a man', he's just a footballer who isn't anywhere near equipped to make it at United (or in the PL at all, imo).
There's no need to personally insult him (or praise him, from what I've seen).
Such a shame that he failed to deliver for us. He was, without a doubt, one of my favorite strikers, during his time at Porto and Atletico.
Please let this happen.
Liverpool trying to press or counter with Falcao up top would be great news.
In reality though they'd have to be mad, wouldn't they? It'd be like trying to top the idiocy of the Balotelli signing.
Meh, provided we don't sign him, couldn't give a monkeys where he ends up.
Would be another strange transfer for Liverpool, not sure I can see it happening. Wouldn't care if he did go there anyway.
No way are Liverpool paying his wages.
If I were him, I would go to Valencia. But it's kind of sad how it didn't work out.

Not even sure if it's because he's not fully recovered from his injury, or wasn't able to play in Van Gaal's system. But whatever it is, looks like he's on the way out. Pity though, he seems a likeable guy, and really wanted to do well for us.
PSG is going to want to sell him as a "glamour signing" of sorts, ie. big money. I doubt Liverpool will stump up the cash, but City might just go for it.

Even though he has done nothing of worth here, i still would not want to see him at Pool. Hope some spanish side picks him up and he does alright for himself.
Unless some miracle happens and he scores 15 in the remaining games, there is no way he is staying here.

I have no problem with Liverpool signing a player not good enough to get into our team.
I wasn't speaking about that game in particular.
I'm totally with you this one. Most of the times it's just the heat of the moment that causes these sort of words. On the other hand he's a public person and is paid a lot of money to do his job - and in the end it's all your money that you've earned by doing your part in society that goes down in his pockets. If he's suppose to get that much more you could at least expect to see some sort of commitment and dignity. But yes, I will do my best to adjust my language to help the caf raise its level.
What?
It would be funny if he went to Liverpool after some of the stuff Rawk have said about him this season.
Having said that, he would probably do quite well there as they do create a lot of chances (when on form). Lack of chances is whats cost him with us imo, sure he's missed some sitters as well no doubt about it but if you are only getting 2 or 3 clear chances a game, it must be hard for any striker no matter how good they are.

Fair play, classy reply when some would've gotten defensive.
And I totally know what you mean. The amount of money that Falcao has taken from our club is ridiculous - while it's not his 'fault' directly, I can't help but cringe when I see him being spoken about on here like he's in some kind of 'tragic situation'.
Likewise, seeing stories in the press from his associates talking about they 'cry together' makes me really angry when a single week's wages of Falcao could help most people (including myself) change their lives for the better.
But you know, that's the way the game is structured, it's not his fault.
His performances, though, are entirely his own responsibility, and that's something everyone seems very keen to absolve him of.
You just know he'll bang in 20+ goals at another PL team. It's such a shame it hasn't worked out.
Not sure what to make of that post. You have to be more specific on what part is not clear here or I can't help you.
He better not be going to Pool. I see his agent's messy fingerprints all over these 'rumours'…. not very sophisticated imo. Falcao better off in Spain or Italy.
He's not good enough for us and he'll tear Liverpool's wage structure apart, they can fecking forget about counter attacking football as well. Win win win.
And big transfer fee. And Smalling will handle him comfortably. Win x 5.
I think him going to Liverpool would be a possibility. As high as his wage demands would generally be, he may have to let them take a bit of a hit since most clubs might be reluctant to sign him after his poor form this season.
Hope he doesn't go to Liverpool though, since we just know he'd end up being the PL's top scorer for them or something, with a hat-trick against us included.

The dippers can't afford 300k/week wages. I think he will almost certainly have to return to Monaco or get sold off by them to another Sugardaddy club.
Depends though - he may be willing to take a pay cut in order to stay in the area.
I'd hope (dearly) that even at 150,000 a week Woodward would get rid of him, but to 'Pool that might be a gamble they fancy...
Though I have to say, his absolute lack of pace, inability to keep up with counter attacks, inability to press from the front and his propensity to get brushed aside by every English defence he's faced makes me very skeptical that any top 6 PL side would have any interest in him at all.
If he went to Liverpool, with the way they play, they'd be worse with him in the side.
It will be interesting to see what happens to him. His team has done a great job in the media by attempting making it look like Manchester United and Louis van Gaal are entirely to blame for his poor form. Nobody in their right mind will pay 40 Million for him, but I can see a few clubs gambling on him at 20 Million. As long as he doesn't go to anyone we're competing with, I wish him all the best. He tried and it seemed like he really wanted to make it here, it just didn't work out. He's been Forlan without the memorable goals.
Also, we need to praise Ed Woodward on this. Maybe the best move we made in the tranfer market since Vidic and Evra was getting him on loan, rather than buying him outright. We dodged a huge bullet with this one.

I would like to see what he could do in our new found system from the start of a game. All of our strikers/attacking players were finding it hard for large parts of this season. Maybe Van Gaal has lost complete faith in him though, but would be nice to see him get a start in this 4-3-3.
He can't press from the front effectively or with any intensity, so our 'new found system' wouldn't work with him up top alone.
He also can't break from deep and keep up with the attack, so is useless on the counter-attack.
These things have been blatantly apparent since he arrived here and they have nothing to do with 'service', or with formation.
I'd be alright with him joining Liverpool, that's how poor he's been.
I'd rather him not go to Liverpool. I'm sure in the right situation he'd rediscover at least some of previous form. Even some of what he was is a fearsome prospect.
I'd have no worries about him going to a rival. I reckon he's finished at the top level.
