The Chels

One of Ramires' assist was to an offside Ivanovic and the other a simple pass to Matic. And just because we won the big matches without Oscar doesn't mean we wouldn't have won them with him or that he won't play any this season.

LMAO that's quite strange. A native French/Flemish speaker translating from English to Spanish for a native Portugese speaker!

Cesc assisting Costa even in NT training

There's a reason no English team has won the quadruple before and it's that you would need everything to go your way. It won't happen.

I reckon we'll be in for Khedira next year given he's out of contract.

Yep I'd like to see how the Oscar-Matic-Fabregas trio works in big games. While Oscar isn't as athletic as Ramires, he's much more intelligent off-the-ball and obviously better on the ball (who isn't?). No point having Ramires if all he does with his athleticism and stamina is run around like a headless chicken.

I genuinely facepalmed when Ramires ruined that good counter attack in the second half by passing to nobody (think it was aimed at Cesc).

Great article. It's clear that the midfield trio were poor defensively. Say what you like about him, but David Luiz at CM in the big games was an absolute beast.

Because they were clearly desperate to get rid of him and left it to the last day with only 1 club interested, making it inevitable they'd have to compromise. United will have to pay his full wages from next season onwards though unless he takes a big pay cut.

Those figures are a little off. It's a £6m loan fee at £265k per week (Monaco paying the rest of the wages), and an agreement to sign him next year for £35m. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/teams/manchester-united/11069084/Radamel-Falcao-completes-loan-move-to-Manchester-United-in-transfer-worth-up-to-20-million-for-one-season.html

LOL what has Mourinho got to do with this? They're obsessed with the man probably because they wanted him to replace Fergie. http://www.redcafe.net/threads/your-preference-for-the-next-manager.370323/

I highly doubt a South American player who dreams of playing for Real thinks United are bigger.

He called United the biggest club in the world. No doubt he'd have done the exact same if he signed for Real. These mercenaries...

Alan Smith's source was probably twitter rumours

That's fake.

Too many annoying chavs surround the reporters on deadline day. Sky really ought to do something about it.

Apparently the reason they haven't bought Vidal (yet) is because they're worried about how he will fare after his knee injury. But Falcao, soon to be 29, would be coming off an ACL injury into a new league and he would command a higher transfer fee and massive wages. I see why they might buy a striker but Falcao seems a strange buy.

Who knows, they might do both.

RVP is apparently going to have a knee operation (according to the Mirror anyway), Hernandez looks like he's going to Madrid and Welbeck might leave as well.

Posted this on the Falcao thread but just seen this one and guess it will be better here. Falcao follows her on twitter btw. If it's true it means United will be paying hm more than Rooney's £300k/week!

Well apparently he's now going to United... Falcao follows her on twitter btw. If it's true it means United will be paying him more than Rooney's £300k/week!

Sounds like Falcao's heading to City.

Tiago would have which is why I was really disappointed when we pulled out of the deal. A leader, experienced, defensively solid, tactically astute and his passing range is better than Matic's too.

Apparently... https://twitter.com/Thomas_Flaherty/status/505797259091791872 Graham Poll you mean. I think he's referring to the 'dive' just before Ramires' goal (our 5th).
