Yep.
Oh my...How much wages is he on per week?
I think we must seriously consider giving him a permanent deal.

It's very disappointing that he seems to be injured constantly. If he isn't signed yet then I hope we approach any potential deal with care. If he is signed then I hope he sorts himself out and can start playing 90 minutes regularly.
Technically he's still on loan, so basically he's not even our player yet, so both technically and basically there's no reason to panic... or just go support Arsenal and start believing that Danny Welbeck will win you a title.
Ah the newbs. How I've missed you.
"Cmon Danny!"

Is he out for the derby game?
Yep. Confirmed by van Gaal at the press conference.
I have a feeling he will play sunday. We kept shut before chelsea and now he is all open makes me doubt it.
Rooney and falcao replacing rvp and mata from last match.

I'd rather he didn't if he hasn't been fully training all week. Better to allow him to return at his own pace and be available for Arsenal.
Hard to see RvP being replaced. It was probably his best game for us for the season.
Really hope he gets a run of games....
Forget United, the guy is pure class! To have him in the league is outrageous! Hopefully, he'll kick on and get starting sooner or later.
As a football fan, it's pure bliss to see people like him, playing in the league you support....Never mind your own team.
Worth the price of a trip with players like him....Was lucky enough to see him play for Porto in the EL final in Dublin. Just pure class.

FFS no journo had asked LVG what sort of injury Falcao got, therefore no one knows how long he will be out for
Why don't you find out what his injury is before spouting rubbish?
Van Gaal has often mentioned not wanting to risk injured players.
The one time he does, with Herrera, it's a complete disaster and he's injured again.
That's the sort of kharma United tends to have, though. When we make a bad mistake we're punished because when you do things the right way the gods are harsh to keep you on the straight and arrow.
The mental hard bastard that goes from club to club hacking tendons off the opposition with impish glee is the one who's never injured. But he probably has three kids with different women and lives in someone's garage.
In Buddhism, when you've cleared your dharma from your past lives all you have left is your kharma from this life. When you have little kharma left you get a phenomenon called "instant kharma", where whatever kharma you create comes back to you very quickly.
I'm suggesting United has attained such a blissful state of existence.

The most hilarious thing about that post is that he quoted a post ridiculing the hysteria and then proceeded to add some of his own
It's a shame, but atleast we took the option of the loan first. That was a smart move IMO.
Falcao was worth taking the risk on, but if he becomes a crock 6M is nothing to worry about.

Why did anyone not ask any details about the injury. LvG that Falcao is still injured. There was no mention of what and when he should be fine.
Is this worrying anyone else?

Even if he only kicks on and hits top form in the second half of the season it'll be worth it. Could come in very handy for the Christmas fixtures where the games come thick and fast and we will need a higher degree of rotation than normal. Unfortunate that he has taken a knock just after getting his first goal for us at a time when it looked as if he was slowly coming into form, but I still reckon he will be good for us over the course of his loan spell.

Isn't it a bit odd this? Agreeing to spend £44m on an injury prone 30 year old striker that has only scored one goal so far? An injury prone striker that is currently injured?

30? He is currently 28 and will be 29 come the summer.
The fee is agreed, doesn't mean we will pay it at the end of the year.
Although his aggent suggested we'd already put the go ahead on it and its a formality
He's currently injured but isn't an injury prone. Injury prone players are players who get injured many times during the years, and this isn't a case for Falcao.
He's also 28.
I'm sure, that doesn't mean it's sealed.
If he only manages to play 15-20 games for us this season and finish half of them, I don't see us signing on the dotted line.
No need to panic with Falcao, the guy was out of the game a long time before signing for us, he's bound to pick up niggling little injuries as a result. Plus he's settling into a whole new league and country... Wait until after Xmas and I'm sure that he will get a run of games and start banging the goals in. If he doesn't, then we just don't buy him at the end of the season (which wouldn't be the end of the world, 40m plus for a 29 year old is a lot of money even in today's market).
I know it's frustrating not getting to see our shines new toy ripping the place apart every week but let's be realistic with him.

it's not that I'm being a nervos Nelly-but I'm concerned that a player coming off ACL surgery misses 2 big games due to a "knock" in training.
ACL recovery does not necessarily happen in a straight line. So-yeah, I'm a little paranoid that we're not getting a straight story. And, if he is injured it means we are thin at striker because we got rid of Hernandez and Wellbeck assuming Falcao would get plenty of playing time.
I hope that all of the posters saying he'll be back and good as new are right-but that doesn't mean I can't be skeptical at the moment.

Falcao isn't injury prone.
It seems more to do with genuine lack of luck than actually being injury prone. He still has a long time left in the season to go, let's hope he completely recovers before the turn of the year.
I won't be making a call on Falcao until much nearer the end of the season.
Falcao isn't injury prone.
More than one injury in a certain period of time= injury prone on the caf.
Splitting hairs a bit there!
Not really. You just added on a whole year to his age for some reason and I corrected you. It's not like he will be nearly 30 either. You also called him injury prone (which is completely wrong) but I let that slide.
At this very moment he is. I would be very much if the opinion to wait until next summer to decide on making it permanent or notFalcao isn't injury prone.
We are not going to pay 50 m for him. We may have a agreement, but who else is going to pay that amount?
All we would need to do is pay what someone else is going to pay.

Thing is, unless RvP or Rooney are off in the Summer, there's no point in having another big name number 9 in the squad because LvG plays RvP for 90 every game and Rooney is his captain.
I love Falcao, but is it worth it for us...or him?
Perhaps we'd be better off spending 25m on a Berahino and putting the money we save into strengthening our defence or midfield.

A lot of rubbish being spouted in here.
If the club is close to arranging a perma deal for Falcao then I think they know far better than any of us having seen him train and play every day since his arrival!
He will be great here. He has looked good when on the pitch so far this season. Hardly like he has become our Balotelli!

No one doubts his class, but we all remember Hargreaves.
It's certainly not beyond the club to sign a high profile player who's effectively crocked.
I think the doubts expressed by people in here are justified - he was signed after an extremely lengthy medical and declared totally fit after a serious injury, yet he's still not played 90 minutes with pretty odd excuses as to why.
The doubts aren't helped by the fact that he's looked to be moving gingerly at times and that photo of him awkwardly covering up his knee - perhaps nothing to do with anything, but when you put it all together it's totally understandable why fans are concerned.
