I wear mine on my right hand and I'm right handed. The right hand is usually the hand I'm doing something with (holding a pen, knife, typing, holding a key, pushing a door open ect ect) so it's easier to glance at it seeing as it's already out rather than raising my completely useless left hand.

agree with this. Not taking style tips off the likes of Barney!
 
Brilliant, seems like he's nearly ready! This is where his season starts I feel (and hope)
 
Not that it matters, you bunch of absolute loons, but every photo of Falcao on Google (when he's not wearing his kit) shows him wearing his watch on his left hand. And every photo of him signing something shows he's right-handed. That photo was either reversed or is atypical and maybe he's messing with people who think wearing a watch on the wrong hand makes you a "numpty." :rolleyes:
 
Glad we're talking about important issues like whether Falcao wears the watch on the right hand or not rather than talking about other issues like his injury etc.
 
Maybe he has really bad eyesight and needs a massive watch in order to see it properly. Which could be a big problem for us, unless he wears contacts when he is playing? Makes you wonder why he doesnt wear them at other times.
 
Hope he plays against Arsenal. Hope he starts too. We seem to have reverted to a bit of a crossing game recently, which I have no problem with if it suits the strikers. RvP isn't really suited to an aerial game, and is much better when the ball is fed to feet. Falcao, however, is a hugely powerful player in the air, and his movement in the box is unstoppable. He could really cause some problems. Di Maria's crosses have been superb for the most part, but we've got no one getting on the end of them.
 
I doubt he'll start, but I do hope it's more than the 'last twenty minutes of a petered out game with very little service as everyone is knackered' fixture for him to get on.
 
I think he'll play for 20 minutes (maximum) as a sub...if we are lucky.
If he starts, bearing in mind that he is still recovering from a career threatening knee injury and now has a calf injury, LvG will be taking a huge risk.

We shouldnt worry too much about our attack. We already have Rooney, Mata and RvP who are not injury prone, so Falcao can take his time.
It'll be a shame if Falcao doesnt recover from his injuries as it could effectively mean the end of his career at the very highest level. I wish him the best.
 
Not back in training until next week according to today's presser.

Feck knows when he'll be ready to start a game. Another week after that? Maybe two weeks later?

Louie said he'll need two weeks of training under his belt before being available.
 
Have zero confidence he'll be back in two weeks. Wouldn't be surprised If he picks up another "knock" that delays his return even further.
 
Nearing Christmas now, and I'd have to say Falcao's been a major disappointment. I was happy we'd signed him, but perhaps not overly excited as we already possessed talent in his position, but we'd have to say, right now, he'll be heading back to Monaco at the end of the season.

Sadly this is pretty much exactly how I thought it would go. Never ever saw him being a success here. Still time to prove me wrong mind, but he's got a lot of catching up to do.

Don't think he should be written off yet. Can still turn things round.

If he doesn't, though, the fact we fecked Welbeck off to accomodate him will look like a truly terrible decision.
 
He can’t afford any more spells out injured after this now because he is starting to run out of time to impress, even when he is fit it enough to be available it’s going to take a while to get him back to his best, justifying a £40m between now and the end of his loan won’t be easy for him.

Of course we can't write him off just yet, the fact remains he's a world class centre-forward, but he's yet to get going for us and it's nearly December. It's been a very poor return of games if you consider the wages he's been on...

Shit happens though. He came in, played a few games, got injured. He's not even been out outrageously long just yet.

I can't help feeling negative about this deal too but footballers do get injured, so we shouldn't read too much into what's happened.

Suppose you're right, but as pointed out above, he's running out of time in which he can justify a big fee next summer. He'll need to hit the ground running pretty soon.
 
This is what LVG said.
“It's difficult to say if anyone is back because we have to wait for Friday's training session to decide if they're back,” van Gaal told reporters. “But they’re not coming back in the squad - that's a different thing. My philosophy is that you have to train at least one week with the squad, better two. But if you see our circumstances, we maybe have to bring players back to the squad.”

Falcao will be in the squad most probably.
 
Interview with him now. Reiterated that his current injury is unrelated to his knee op.
