True, it's really a strange one. He's so humble and hard working, but on the other hand, a few of his big money moves do raise the question.

He's owned by a third party who basically dictate where he plays. Their main interest is making money so Monaco were an obvious choice. I think there was an article linked a couple of pages back which explained his situation.

Honestly, Falcao could have lowered his wage demand and could have transferred to any club won major trophies and built a legacy. Instead, he chose to go to Monaco and earn as much as he could.

I'm glad he's here now and I'm going to cherish his goals and hold-up play.

It's more effective the other way around a right footer on the right and a left footer on the left.

Outswinging as opposed to in-swinging? Disagree entirely.
 
Radamel Falcao has impressed whilst on international duty with Colombia and has again been the man the media want to speak to. The Manchester United striker, on loan from Ligue 1's AS Monaco, has spoken of his pride after scoring the opening goal against El Salvador for Colombia. He feels it was important to get that goal and, as ever, is thrilled to represent his country in such a way.

Falcao's love of playing for Colombia is being matched by his love of Manchester United and all things related to it. The Colombian striker has hugely taken to the Premier League club and will tell that to anyone who will listen. He and his wife have made it known they're incredibly happy with the summer transfer and want to remain at Manchester United and in Manchester for many years to come.

One of the things which has made the family feel so welcome is the reaction of Manchester United fans toward their new superstar striker. Falcao's transfer was something of a shock, with Angel di maria being a deal which in comparison dragged on for some time. Manchester United fans weren't used to signing the likes of Angel di Maria so to do that and then secure Falcao in a deadline day swoop was a huge boost to the club after a difficult season under David Moyes. All that has helped the reaction to the Colombian and he's noticed.

Falcao has told media in his own country that when the Old Trafford supporters sing his name, a name they currently sing more than any other, that it sounds like thunder, such is the noise that is created within the stadium "It's magic, I would have never imagined in an institution such as Manchester United, the love they are showing me; my name sounds like thunder at the stadium, it is something that fills me with pride."

The striker has a knack of finding the back of the net and an equal knack of saying just the right thing.

Yeah, well never really understand the true reason, but with these 3rd party type deals, I don't think Falcao chose, as much as he was "advised" to go to Monaco.

But yeah, I hope he's found his home now :drool:

Well going from being watched by 7k fans to 70k fans belting out your name can be overwhelming I suppose :)
 
Wow, the past few pages really speak volumes of our fans. I bet if he scores the winner against Chelsea or City, everyone will be asking Woodward to sign him up?

That's a cool line.

Totally. Love that line.

He's an instant hit for me. Looks like he loves being here, and seems an all-round loveable bloke! Singing that song is a highlight at every game. Lo lo lo lo lo lo... :devil:
 
It's a bit like a finish you'd expect from Hernandez with difference of like 5-6 yards, crazy power to finish like that from 11.
 
I guess finishes like those are why he was called the best number 9 a season or so ago. After a bit of anxiousness to start with, I get the feeling its all coming back to him :drool: One stride to get away from his marker and a powerful snap shot into the bottom corner.

Is that a right footed backheel shot, that is ridiculous accuracy and power?

I think he side foots it, but the way he falls sort of masks it. Either way it's an amazing finish with such short time to react.

I love the way he is basically not moving, then all of a sudden springs into life and makes 2 yards just in time to get the shot away, perfect.
 
Fantastic finish, I can't understand why it was disallowed, was the player nearest the touchline adjudged to be offside?

Yea the 1-2 in the build up was adjudged to be offside. In a reply I saw from another angle down the line, I actually thought it was the correct call, but a tight call either way.
 
My biggest concern is that he does seem to be at his best as the lone striker. I know it's early days but I believe he is too similar to RVP and often they will be competing for the same spaces inside the box, and will RVP off colour at the moment, I'm not sure how much it's going to impact Falcao's game at United.

Bench RVP, it doesnt get much easier.
 
The man will fire us into the top 4(its used to be title,how mighty have stumbled!). It was only when he signed did I bealive in the top 4 being a real possibility. Damn,we have Radamel Falcao!
 
I really like saying his name. Every time I play my mate on FIFA I wind him up by just saying 'Radamel Falcao' over and over again in the manner of Peter Griffin's Starlight Express moment.

He makes Eurosports top 10 worst signings page :wenger:. Total bullshit given half the players they have on there weren't even brought in for the reasons they are slamming them for. There have been plenty of signings much worse than him.

Yes, he's shown off all sorts of tricks. Yes, you don't expect him to score the lion's share of goals when he's playing on the left side of a strong attacking formation.

Could either of those sentences be more wrong? :lol:

What an amazing 'article'.
