He looks like a competition winner, everbody is playing at such a level that all you can do is fall on your arse and watch as the ball goes in the net.

Yeah... But why doesn't Wilson play ahead of Falcao?
There probably is an argument that an injured Wilson might be better than Falcao in fairness
Time will tell but there's nothing I've seen to suggest were are not. We paid 60m ADM and accept its gonna take him a season without the Falcao baggage. That kind of injury is a long recovery and rehab. Given when he was injured, rehab and no pre-season, and given he's hardly consistently had a run of games, when realistically did we expect to see a fully fit and firing player, this season....really!!!!
I tell you what, let's pay 6m in wages, handle sensitively his rehab and then at the end of the season, he'll be ready for his new club. That makes perfect sense.
Basically this. Its sad to see.
Buying him for 45m or whatever the fee is makes even less sense ater the season he has had.
No need to compound one mistake by making another one.
Januzaj then.
I'm not sure it will be 45m. I'm just not sure what we expected from the loan deal. I'm not saying he's been great cause clearly he hasn't but like I said, must be 9 months plus for that injury and rehab and no pre-season. Even then, you'd need to be playing regularly to get match fitness wouldn't you? That aside from getting to grips with the new league, manager, team, country........I'm no Falcao fan, just sometimes things take longer than we think and takes time. Most recently, Felliani, Young, Mata and even DDG show a little patience can go a long way....
Falcao did his rehabilitation at Monaco. I saw him play for them against Arsenal pre-season and he started some of their early league games before we signed him. If his problems were fitness related then you'd expect him to have improved throughout the season, he just got worse and worse.
Given his massive wages and reputation I suppose United thought they were getting a top centre forward but he has looked anything but. Personally I cannot think of a single reason why we would buy him permanently.

Exactly what I'm thinking. Surely we didn't think that he'd start scoring game in game out, when we bought him last summer. We'd have had an idea of the extent of the injury he suffered, and that it may take him a while to rediscover his form whilst fully recovering from the terrible injury. Besides, there's no way we'd be paying anywhere near 45 million, more like 15-20 as most other teams won't be willing to take the risk based on what they've seen; whereas, we maybe witnessing a much different Falcao in training, from which we may make our decision. I also don't think we're going to buy another young striker, such as Dybala or Lacazette, given we already have Wilson.
We'll find out very soon, regardless.
He seems like a bloody, thoroughly nice bloke and smiles when we score...?
Didn't get enough time to do much. Showed some terrible skills that belong far down the league system. I don't think he will ever come back to any sort of form. Absolutely awful from a player of that is suppose to be headhunted by the top clubs.
Haha - you must've felt like a smug hero doing that.
Such as?
That last kick close to the line that just went off to nowhere. A top player should not produce that sort of touch.
So you are saying that we should hire players based on their celebrations after our team scores a goal? Surely you cant be serious?
Perhaps I should play for Man Utd. I'll play for less money; I wont score; but I will celebrate even more enthusiastically than Falcao.
Ronaldo (who scored 5 goals in 1 game over the weekend and whose goal tally in that 1 game, exceed Falcao's goal tally for his whole season) only seems to care if he scores a goal - I'd much rather have him in our team than Falcao.
We need to get rid of passengers, not commend them.
Some think that we will buy Falcao, which I doubt. LVG is currently benching the most expensive player in Britain, which shows how ruthless he is. I have no doubt that he will put an end to Falcao's Man Utd career.
LVG already stated that we do not have a 20 goal/season striker - this is the player he is looking for. Falcao is on 4 goals so far, which shows just how far Falcao needs to improve to even be in with a shout of being bought.
Another nail in his coffin was when he was subbed in the U21s game - LVG would have discussed Falcao with the U21s manager and this discussion would not have gone in Falcao's favour.
Class post. Probably far closer to the truth than we would like it to be.
good of you to half quote me, I never said sign falcao. its an observation of the chemistry of the players on the pitch, and the current lineup are buzzing around each other. (without falcao)So you are saying that we should hire players based on their celebrations after our team scores a goal? Surely you cant be serious?

That alone is worth 40m. And that touch against sunderland.
Just checked his stats at the top of the page and to be honest I'm surprised he's managed to score as many as 4. I was thinking it was maybe 1 or 2. That is how desperately poor he's been.
All set up for a last minute Derby winner from him though isn't it?

Given how he always looks injured every game he played that's probably a fair assessment.
So do I.
I'm actually a spy from Bluemoon.Good work Sherlock.
How come he's lost everything, I know injuries can do harm but he's been ridiculous.
Looked quite sharp in that new puma ad. Start him on saturday I'd say. He scored twice against Kun.
Imagine if Old Falcao suddenly showed up and tore Citeh a new arsehole. The Caf would implode.
That being said, i hardly think that will happen and i really wonder why he gets these 15 min cameos here and there. Is it out of courtesy or does the club seriously consider making the deal permanent? He seems like such a nice guy, and i have to admit i was giddy like a little girl when he came here, but looking back on his time here, he has been horrendous pretty much the whole time.
If he still has fitness issues then it's quite clear he is done as a top player and it would be madness to but him. If it's a mental thing, then he better snap out of it pretty damned fast or he'll end up somewhere else

Haha, just happy this is not a serious post
Obviously this didn't work out. But if we were approached with a similar opportunity again I'd take it. End of the day it was only a monetary risk, his wages. If he worked out he would have probably won us around 10-15 points maybe? That would win us the title. Simple as that. Yes this risk did not work out, but when we signed him we were all thinking that potentially it would be Falcao spearheading us to the title.
Say in a few years time we have a similar deal for Aguero, coming off a bad injury, would you take it? Probably.

£4,000,000 a goal at the moment isn't it?
Value.
That touch against Sunderland is the equivalent of 10 goals and a baby goat.
I'm starting to think we're cursed signing South Americans 
Forlan
Kleberson
Veron
Falcao
Anderson
Heinze (debatably a success until he tried to move to Pool)
AdM is struggling.
In fact, Possebon/Rafael/Fabio were cheap (youth) punts, so Valencia is the only "big" success (and he was EPL proven) signing I can think of. Unless I'm missing any?

Heinze was very good to be fair - the fact that he left under a cloud doesn't really change his good performances for us.
Also, Rojo's made a good start.
