£180k a week according to Ballague
Who's proving to be way more accurate than Ogden this summer.
This loan is going to smoothly. Where is the imposters?
Just got home.Had no internet access all day and hadn't even thought about deadline day.In the car on the way home I thought, I bet we've signed Falcao.I may be unknowingly in the know or phsycic.One or the other.
Anyway thoughts on the transfer:
Ridiculous of money for a player we don't need.Don't really give a fcuk about our spending though we're loaded but why oh why couldn't we have spent that on a midfielder.
The fact that he won't be at City or Arsenal is also a positive.And finally how the hell do we fit Rooney,RVP,Mata,Di Maria and Falcao into one line up.
Pissed about Danny leaving too.

So it seems you're spot on. British media have once again proved to be clueless, from start to finish. Hell if they just skimmed thru the caf, they'd have better info.
Good post
I'll bet he's thinking: "Bloody hell Luis, all that money being spent? Wouldn't happen in my day. Absolutely ridiculous. Don't know what the world's coming to. All those bleedin' foreigners, what's the world coming to?"
Sounds better.
Indeed. It's like waiting for the season to start all over again. Except I'm now even more excited
The Chevrolets are rolling up!
For a player of his ability, £180k is low. Great deal for us. Arsenal pay our loan fee and we get Falcao instead of Welbeck. Woodward, you're a genius.
He's officially arrived at Carrington. Sky Sports just showed footage of his car arriving.
EDIT: As an aside, is anyone else getting miffed at the Sky Sports presenter pronouncing his name as 'Falco'?

Stop calling him Falco Kirsty Gallacher!
Arrived at Carrington according to SSN
That's not fair, Ogden has been right about Vidal all along.
The Tiger has arrived.
Really annoying ...
It's a loan deal with an option to buy. Hardly a waste of money, specially if the RVP/knee surgery issue is true.
Falcao has arrived! Confirmed by SSN!
Finally got chance to comment on this after a busy day, but what a signing! He's an absolute beast that has tore apart some of the best teams in the world. We've done fecking good here.
Can't wait tos ee him. Where are the best highlight videos that have no doubt been posted today?

So can someone clear this up to me? Are we paying him £180k pw net?
What is he wearing? Is he dressed for a wedding?

In brief:
1. Real had a deal drafted out for him but Man City rang up Mendes asking him to stall the deal after which Real backed out.
2. City thought they had it wrapped up, then Utd rang up Mendes asking him to stall the deal.
3. Now it gets interesting. City repeatedly call up Monaco to conclude the deal but met with more stalling and silence, asking City to wait a few hours.
4. City back out and now Falcao is only left with our offer, which he accepts.
City got Woodied

Scousers loving that SSN poll obviously.
We're paying Monaco his full wages, which is approx 180 net. It helps that he's still on Monaco's books as Monaco is a tax-free principality.
Probably this:
Oh yes, will watch soon. Does it have the wonder goal against Barca?
Looks like he's just missing a machine gun
But wouldn't Falcao, as a UK resident working for a foreign company, have to pay income tax in the UK?
That summary warms my cockles! Woody for prime minister!This worth a read guys (use google translate): http://www.calciomercato.it/news/29...i-falcao-quello-che--successo-ieri-notte.html

he knows how to dress himself when arriving at a club
I never said it was a waste of money but £24M for a 1 season loan of a striker when we already have 2 great options for what think should be one spot is riduculous imo.
We would be better off splashing the cash in almost any other area of the pitch.It almost seems like we had the No.9 shirt vacant so just decided to buy someone to fill it.
By the way, how much is the option to buy?
Do they not allow proper SUVs across the pond? I understand Escalades and Denalis aren't actually Chevy, but surely a Tahoe would be better. Superstars here would never be caught in one of those...
Odgen really is writing a lot of crap this Summer isn't he? He seems to have a bit of an anti-united agenda recently
If Rooney and VP needed a kick up the arse, they just got one.
