Rafael is fit for now. Speculation about Rojo. Shaw yes, he will probably be fine. Blind winning that means nothing. It's good but that league is nowhere near EPL level. Time will tell. We are still unbalanced though.
it's significantly better than it was, and close to balanced.

Blind would be the weak link of the front 6, I'd say that defensive midfielder spot, in a formation with three central midfielders. So a lot will hinge on him.

And unless Rojo is fantastic we could always use a world class CB.

I like that line up. Mata can also play where Rooney is if RVP is injured.
Yeah and Blind can also play CB so when we are defending we have a proper back five and when we are attacking Blind can move up and be a defensive mid.
 
Is Falcao wearing #9? I want to buy the jersey from the Utd store but I have to customize it as he's not in the squad list yet.
 
Attracting all these players without CL football is proof of how big a club United really is.
I think it's more to do with the wages than how big of a club we are. Who the feck cares though, we have Falcao and Di Maria!!!
 
Madrid and United set to become besties again, swapping players, buying up talent like lads on the lash in Amsterdam.
Yeah exactly, best buddies. Can we have Di Maria back? Pretty please?

I'm actually astonished you guys landed Falcao and we settled for one of your benchwarmers. I don't believe for a second we weren't in for him aswell.
 
Over all happy with this.
Top class striker.
Still don't understand how Real Madrid missed him.

That's just it though. United can attract and pay world-class players with no CL football. It's the combination of financial muscle and reputation that is impressive.
 
Shortest transfer saga ever.

I come on and see people saying there's a rumour we could get him...but Arsenal & Man City will most likely get him. I refresh the caf 15 minutes later and journos are reporting that we've signed him. Yet the Vidal saga goes on for 2-3 months and nothing :lol:

We'll give you a Rooney for your Khedira. It's not mint, but it's still good!
 
I think the manager helps out in this case. I don't think we nab players like Di Maria or Falcao with Moyes. The money is important but playing for the likes of Van Gaal or Sir Alex is part of the draw too I would imagine.
 
When I heard City were in for him yesterday I was terrified. I was relieved when he signed for Monaco instead of Chelsea in 2013. Radamel Falcao is a beast that can destroy any team in the World. It's surreal to have him, crazy 24 hours. We have now a frightening team up front. People can be jealous and play down this transfer all they want. The fact is they are terrified that this is the turning point. We can get Rafa, Herrera, Rojo, Shaw, Blind, Di Maria and Falcao into the team ready for QPR. A fecking storm is coming and QPR are going to feel the wrath. Bring it on:devil:

Don't ruin the mood.
 
Now i really have to go to sleep. Waking up in 3 hours.... hope this is not only a dream.
 
I love that he's a genuine 2 footed player, can score from 30 yards off both feet by smashing it, curling, chipping..yet he's an absolute predator poacher inside the box. He also dribbles better and runs faster than a lot of people give him credit for. The knee injury may have slowed him down, but we'll see
 
He's so chuffed about the move so I'm guessing unless something goes horribly wrong in the season he's basically our player for the foreseeable future? Since money is no object I'll happily have that! So this is what it feels like to be a Madrid fan in a transfer window :lol:
 
It's actually impressive how big of an impact Jorge Mendes has on transfers world wide. It's a good thing Fergie was on good terms with him so long ago, I doubt we would have gotten Di Maria and Falcao if he wasn't to be honest.
 
is there an injury update on Shaw, Rafael, Herrera and RVP?

All are due back after International break. As for RVP he played last week so looks fit but there's been several rumours around that he needs surgery, no idea on what limb.
 
His youtube videos and variety of goals would put Totti's to shame.

I hope for his first goal he goes for either cut back inside and nonchalantly caress it into top corner with bad foot or else absolutely f*cking obscene overhead kick.
 
Wow. Emotional that is. This is why it's important for footballers to be good role models, because there's kids out there who worship some of the players.
I remember when he was leaving Atletico after only 2 seasons, he went up to the stands after the last game and was with the fans saying his goodbyes. Seems to build a great relationship with every club he's at despite being there for such a short time. Seems like a genuinely good guy compared to some other footballers.

Important point. Maybe Fergie knew what he was doing after all.

Other than midfield, of course...
 
too bad. think we should give Wilson games. He looks ready.
He will this season especially with Welbeck and Hernandez out and if we continue to play 2 up top. RVP might get injured (knocks wood) or rotation will make him get his chance. Not to mention FA Cup games when others get a rest.
 
Yeah, so that quote worries me.

No sentiment of team planning, building a squad, or anything.

Just 'oh Falcao's decent, lets have him too.'

Please man, many top managers have made comments like this, sounds just like Fergie when we got RVP and even Wenger when Arsenal signed Ozil. You surely know LVG is not a Moyes and he has a plan.
