I think it was worth the risk. If he comes back and then gets injured again, then that will probably be after the new year that he would be available again, and for the wages, well...it's really probably not worth it. Still think it was a good punt though and....you never know.
 
Really hope he stays fit and gets in the team and we see the best of him
 
I always thought you get a day off after a match? Surprised to see them training today especially after an away game!
 
If he hits or even shows sporadic glimmers of his Madrid form, we could go on a serious run.

Thing is, after that Everton goal I thought he'd kick on and score a feck load. LVG was saying that he expected him to start firing after that international break, but it wasn't to be...

Hopefully he comes back confident and starts winning us valuable points.

That's the thing with long term injuries, it takes a while to get back into the swing of things and get that consistency with your fitness. He was our for so long so of course it'll take a while for his body to adjust and get back to full fitness and stay clear of the little niggles. Hopefully he's over them now and can get a run of games, as the brief time he played was encouraging in terms of his overall play.
 
If he is ready he should come on for either Wilson or Mata after 45 minutes. RVP shouldn't start
 
With 3 games in 10 days, he will definitely get a start I assume. Probably coming on sub against Hull and starting vs Stoke might be how it will be.
 
once he's fully fit, it'd be interesting to see him as a lone frontman.

something needs to shape VP up though.

For all the competition talk at the start of the season, he's not really had any, he's played, with only a couple of substituions
 
We just want to see Falcao banging in goals at the Stretford End. Please lord is it too much to ask :(

Seriously can't wait for him to get back. You just get that feeling that once he gets the engine running, gets a few games under his belt, then he will start firing and there will be no looking back.
 
But on which hand is he wearing his watch though? Can't see it :(
 
Guys, Falcao is currently recovering from a long term, serious, career threatening injury.
He also had a new calf injury which seems to be taking a (suspiciously) long time to recover.
What makes you guys think he will start in the next 2 weeks?

My prediction is that he may play 20 minutes (per game) in the next 2 weeks but 45 minutes is pushing it too far.

This guy is extremely fragile and needs to be brought back slowly.
I simply cannot understand where people are getting information from that Falcao is ready to play 45+ minutes or even start a game.

I stated this in the Arsenal Match thread and people kept putting Falcao in the starting 11. I even asked in there why people are putting an injured player in their team and got some irrational responses.

And for those who think RvP wont be starting for Man Utd....you clearly havent learnt anything about LvG. He'll probably be the 2nd name (after Rooney) to go on the team sheet.

In 2-3 months IF Falcao is able to play 90 minutes, then Falcao may be ahead of RvP in the pecking order, but as of 24/11/2014, RvP is our No.1 striker. Get used to it.

His 'new injury' was the recent injury he picked up, he just wasn't match fit. Van Gaal called it 'new' because he was trying to differentiate it from his actual ACL injury. He's more lacking match fitness than injured.
 
Why do people think he will be played over rvp or he will suddenly start banging them in? Has any of you seen him at Monaco, he wasn't the Falcao who came 3rd in the POTY the year before... Still s good player but I don't see Van Gal suddenly dropping his love child RVP, unfortunately....
 
That picture of Falcao training looks old as how come Utd players are back in training after yesterday game.

The picture Falcao shared looks like an old one but thats no surprise, why would he bother sourcing a brand new photo for the benefit of a tweet? The new UNited shared shows only players who were subs or didn't play against Arsenal. It wouldn't be a surprise if they did light work the following day even if they played 90mins.
 
Really hope he get some minutes against Hull, doubt it though, Van Gaal seems to not want to play players unless they are 100% match fit.

Any u21 games coming up that he can get game time, imagine what he would do in one of them games :eek:
 

Speaking to DirecTVSports, Falcao said: "Probably as soon as I play and score goals they will stop talking.

"I have to try and ensure that everything that does not add something positive to me doesn't damage me.

"There is a lot of speculation but I have to try to isolate myself from it.

"When a player comes to a new league, with the numbers like I had in my previous clubs, it is normal there are high expectations.

"Unfortunately I have had to sit out a few games due to the injury.”

Falcao then discussed how he currently felt at his new club: "I've played five games, three of which I started. What I needed was to play to get used to the new league and when I have played I believe I have not had any problems.

“I think I've played well. I am very calm and happy."

Bloody hell, we have the United Phsio on the Caf. Got any other great insight to our injuries you care to share.
Stop making out you are the knowledge on his injury - you aren't. You are just speculating like everyone else. Get used to it!
