Is it correct that he has work permit issues too?
It'll be much quicker for Falcao, considering his status in the game, and no law trouble in Colombia.
It's just a formality. I read the club wanted to fast track it at the British embassy in Miami, whilst he's there for Colombia's friendly.
I think I remember doing some digging years ago about United strikers and scoring on their debut. Basically, all our best strikers have done so and those who don't rarely turn out a success.
I think Hernandez and Diouf might have bucked the trend, sadly
Hernandez would go down as a success wouldn't he? Just for his contribution in that first season alone.
Alan Smith and Saha did score on their debuts I think though...
He had some complicated 3rd party ownership deal that potentially would've stopped him going to Madrid
And Monaco were prepared to buy out all his 3rd parties and pay him very handsomely at the same time because they were trying to emulate PSG at the time and Falcao was the best striker in the world so he raised their profile enormously.
Unless he's glassed someone and I missed it in the news, or something.
Is best.
Honestly I think it was an FFP dodge by Monaco. They add a shitload of assets in Rodriguez & Falcao to their balance sheet in the last year before they qualify for the CL. They make a huge loss, but FFP doesn't matter tl you get in.
They then release the assets and give their turnover a £70M cash boost this season, and £55M next season. That way they can turn a £80M and £65M loss into FFP compliance over the next two seasons.
Obviously it helped that James starred at the world cup, but he was still worth a few bob already.
As for why he consented, it can only be money. Signing on fee perhaps? £10M for one year with the agreement you can leave next summer would do for most players.
I believe somebody already posted the link from reddit a few pages back where its all explained in detail. TLDR all to do with 3rd party issues, Making sure the investment group who owned his rights from a young age got their return. and he didn't kick up a massive fuss because he gets to earn phat stacks.
I just wanted to quote this post too. Hello Rob.
Hey, asl.
He's big, he's bad, Radamel Falcao
The 'ardest man, in all the town
Despite having George Boyd's hair
Come and 'av a go if ya dare...

Kid starts crying and Falcao starts crying as well.

Well this is what a call under the radar. It was deadline day morning when the papers still speculated he was going to City and the rumors of him coming here were started one day before the deadline day.
If what he said, that we were in contacts for months, is true there is the last prove that media is clueless.
Some journos were reporting it on and off throughout the summer to be fair. I think most ignored it as bs because it just seemed like such an odd target considering the other positions we needed to strengthen. I remember a lot of Falco reports being instantly dismissed in the twitter thread.
You sure it was Falcao and not Cavani? Because the latter is the only striker that I recall us being linked to during the summer. Might be wrong.
Their owner was taken to the cleaners by his wife in their divorce. He had to pay something like 2.6 billion, half of his wealth.
That chant is catchy as hell, love it.
Also, he comes across as a really nice guy, very likeable one.

I was sure... But now you've planted a seed of uncertainty in my mind
Who are the other two "best clubs"..Real and Barca?

It was Cavani to whom we're being linked for more than a year now,
At least it was tax-free!
So, he'll be a definite starter then. Interesting..
You think there is a chance that a fit falcao wouldn't start?
If falcao hits form I can see Rooney or rvp being dropped to make way for him.
Christ, that's steep - it's only £7 a bag of clothes at our local launderette.
Needs to man up.
I love Falcao.
I've only just noticed your name
I love him too
Seriously, fancy a hug?
I'll go a jumping up and down hug when he scores his debut goal
thought the kid was a bit over the top and dramatic too. Obviously both emotional though, as you would be meeting your idol at that age.He kept touching his knees whilst crying and praying. I'd be doing the exact same thing in his position right now.
I thought this too. All the other boys were clearly happy but this kid was just bawling. I'm sure this lad will get plenty of banter from that video when he's older.
The kid is a drama queen, needs to toughen the f up.
