Don't have an issue if he is brought back slowly, 15 mins here, 25 mins there. Next two games would be a good opportunity for him to get some time in (hopefully) pretty benign conditions.

We will need him against Southampton thats for sure.

Can't wait to see him at 100%!!

Everyone in high spirits and Rojo is out there. Good to see.

All season I've noticed we've looked a much happier squad, which is amazing considering our luck on the field and with injuries. LVG has really brought the squad together.
 
Really think he'll be class in time. Just needs to stay fit and fully recover. Not worried about the little injuries as they are to be expected when somebody is out for so long as he was. Takes a while to cut those out. If he's over those knocks now, and stays fit, I reckon from new years onwards he'll be back to his best and starting every week. There's certainly the chance for him to cement his spot up there with RvP being past it.

Can't wait to see him starting games again though.
 
:lol: I'm going to miss Ando when he goes. Can't we make him an ambassador or something?
 
Our new 4-3-3 with him on top and Rooney as an attacking midfielder could be something special.
 
Happy to be so wrong-great to see Falcao training. Wonder if Jaime Jackson had some ice ready for Falcao?

Hope to see him at the weekend at some point. Get a few mins under his belt, then hopefully some full games. The goals will come no doubt about it.
He has to start vs liverpool and their shite defence :devil:
 
He really didn't do anything wrong in the very little game-time he's had with us. Only three starts, none of them 90 minutes, and he'd already racked up a goal and two assists (including an absolute beauty for RVP). Almost more importantly, he looked really sharp, energetic and dangerous when he played.

I've noticed a lot of caftards doing that typical fan thing of lowering their opinion of a player's pre-injury form the longer they're injured for.

Really excited for his return, hopefully against Hull... and hopefully in place of RVP!

Reminds me of last year when a lot of people were writing off Bale when he had barely even played due to injury and the few games he did play early on in the season were through injury or when he barely had match practice. He had a good November but things did not really click for him until late January and in the end he had a strong finish to the season. It's way too early to write off a player when he has barely kicked a ball for the team but the media likes to encourage it as it creates stories, causes social media buzz and fills pages. Until Falcao gets an extended run in the team it is not possible to gauge what level he is at.

I want him to succeed here more than anybody, I don't know why.

Same. It's odd; he is a striker coming off of the back of a - perhaps not career threatening, but a high potential to hamper a players top abilities - injury at a fairly awkward age for a striker on very high wages, but I really want him to succeed. He just seems like a very humble player who seems genuinely happy to be here. But, is it really this simplistic? His last season - whilst plagued by the aforementioned injury - was still pretty average, but there is still world class there. Maybe this desire to see him advance is being developed by van Persie's terrible form? Maybe there's some sort of synonymous cathartic release -- Falcao is in a similar situation to Manchester United as a club; a 'sleeping giant' - so close, yet so far to being back at the level they once were. Maybe we sympathise with that?
 
I'm so glad he's back. If we're going to get the best out of him, we need to continue to play one up top, in my opinion. Don't think he'll start against Hull, but hopefully he will against Stoke.
 
Love the way they are having some fun over the rumours, hopefully he gets a decent amount of game time over the next 3 matches.
