It's a cultural thing.

Look at James Rodriguez and his team-mates wiggling around like a gang of Ricky Martin impersonators every time they scored in the World Cup...



Dancing, grinning, crying. It's all the same.

Rooney'll sort Falcao out - after a few trips down the chippy with our Wayne, Falcao'll lose those Columbian emotional tendencies and reach the more 'Zen-like' status of 'dead-eyed oaf'.

You can see it happening with Mata, he turned up all 'hugs' and ambition, now look at him, the guy looks like a sullen Hobbit on the football pitch.
 
Only now from seeing that River Plate video I remember Falcao being hawked as the next big thing for a fair while until Porto went for him. Thought he was excellent at Porto, bloody amazing at Athletico and at Monaco too until his injury and I have only just realised from watching some of these goal compilations who he really reminds me of as a striker......Batistuta, one of the very best striker who would come alive and score from almost anywhere within 30 yards be it a thunderbolt, dipper, perfectly place shot, chip, volley, header. When you think of DiMarias ability to dribble at the defence to open them up and his crossing and passing ability (which we already saw glimpses of on his debut) its hard not to be excited about how they may link up as a pair within our side and what a big improvement going forwards that could possibly bring.
ALways been a massive fan of Rio, and its funny to think that is the first defender he will prbably face in the premiership....as much as I loev Rio, I hope I will be stood up applauding about how Falcao-dung Rio like the shit on his shoe to score (yes awful pun)
 
The chant really does seem to work in a stadium doesnt it from the videos...........however, personally Im rally hoping somebody comes up with a chant tp Falcaos Amadeus :)

This has been on my mind since we signed him. Di Maria can cross the ball with pin point accuracy from any where on the pitch, like Beckham he doesn't need to be near the side area between the box and corner flag, he can cross it from much further out Or give a curling pass from direct in front of goal. Its not just Di Maria's passing that's basically perfect, its just that there is no better header of the ball than Falcao from jumping to diving or 2 yards out to 12. Along with this amazing ability of Falcao is his positioning, you'll see in his career goals when he's not scoring crackers/clips with his feet he's tapping them in from 4 yards.
 
I really hope he's recovered from his injury and doesn't have any long lasting damage, the thought of us having the 'Porto/Athletico' player playing upfront for us every week is just mouthwatering :drool:

I'm actually so excited to see him play, but at the same time a little worried that he wont be as good as he was :nervous:
 
Anyone seen the Gazzetto Dello Sport, or whatever the paper is called in Italy, reporting Falcao texting Juventus, saying that he thanks them for the interest "and may move to them in the future"? Seems like the paper/people quoting the paper are twisting it into him wanting to leave United already :lol:

He has got 2 goals this season already for Monaco. Plus in a pre season game against Arsenal he was great. A lot of people also raving about a Monaco game this season in which he scored when somebody raised concerns about him coming back from injury earlier in this thread. Seems to be the normal Falcao.
 
This is great news for us. He's going to be match fit by the time he comes to United and won't have strained himself too much. The only thing is, he'll be jet lagged. He'll come on as a sub bs QPR.

He'll have more than a week before QPR. He won't be jet-lagged.

This is good. I thought he'd be playing in two friendlies. So Rojo, Di Maria and Falcao will have more than a week to get ready for QPR. Excellent news.

Aye, hopefully we can have them back in Carrington early next week so they can start their philosophy studies.

Looking forward to seeing him play but not seen much of him since he signed for Monaco, saw him a lot at athletico though and if he returns to that level he will be an incredible signing and will be the first name on the team sheet, he is that good. Still suprised he is here mainly because I already thought it was tough to fit RVP! Rooney and mata in so interesting to see if the manager has a clear idea in place of how they will be used or if it is a case of just seeing who takes their chances and then off loading whoever doesn't perform or wants out because we hVe four players whoa re all going to expect and want to play.
 
So the game is at 2:30 CET, who is going to watch it? I'll definitely give it a go (even if he doesn't start as the rumours say).

Feck me, it's at 04.00 in the morning in Greece. Lucky I still have summer holidays and don't usually sleep until 6 anyway :lol:
 
Can he do it on a cold night in Stoke? If he can he will be the worlds best player no doubt.

Philosophical Investigations. ;)

There is a LvG philosophy infographic floating around the internet. It's structured like Tractatus.
