Madmax 9,219 Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 If Hulk Hogan was available, they'd be in for him. No way would Hulkamania run wild in Manchester, brother! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The only place to be 11,313 Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 Fuck. Falcao could really improve United. Expensive but a really good signing for them. Can he play in midfield or defence? Great striker but striker isn't their issue in the slightest.Apparently he's £9 million for the season WITHOUT wages. In comparison Costa's fee works out to just over £6 million per season (£32 million amortised over a 5 year contract, which could actually be extended this bringing the fee down further).Plus he's 28 (29 in February).Plus he's just a couple of months off an injury which takes most athletes about 12 months to fully recover from.

The only place to be 11,313 Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 Anyone can explain how they deal this FFP after all? There wage bill looks crazy.To use technical terms....they're fucking loaded. FFP really isn't a serious consideration for them at the moment. They actually made a profit last year and revenues are going to grow in the next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he finds his groove back then can be really dangerous for them. Anyways the opposite may also happen too so lets what happens.great addition to the premier league.

Jase 43,479 Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 Is Falcao scared to play in the Champions League? He's bottling it again.When Porto won the treble under AVB including qualifying for the following season's Champions League, he moved to Atletico Madrid, who weren't in it then, later that year. Then when they finished in the Top 3 to get into it, Falcao went to Monaco. Now Monaco are in the Champions League and he's heading to United.

coolhead23 1,147 Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 true but I mean come on this is Falcao we're talking about. If he finds his groove back then can be really dangerous for them. Anyways the opposite may also happen too so lets what happens.great addition to the premier league.He can only be good if he gets the ball ... their midfield is in a mess right now unless they get a Vidal and same goes for their defense ... How would Falcao score if he is busy trying to do defensive work than offensive one ...I mean yes he will score ... but that anyone in that forward line could have... I feel Chica would have scored more than him if they gave him the chance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

petre.ispirescu 4,928 Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 The guy is doing all he can to avoid playing in the Champions League. What a shame. Four or five years ago I thought he'll end up as one of the best strikers to have ever played this game.But the funniest thing in all of this is that the manure fans think de maria and falcao joined united because this is the greatest football club in the world and not because they are throwing ridiculous money out of desperation on players they don't even need. Look at that unbalanced squad. Who is going to defend there? Fletcher? Mata? Herrera? What a joke of a club Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sainttourist 68 Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 In the end, if it's a loan deal, it could make sense. 10m on world class player for the season, there you desperate to achieve top 4, may be it worth a gamble. He still could get on form and make impact. Obviously, they still miss at least one experience CB to consider for top 4. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SinineUltra 1,170 Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 Wow, unexpected, On paper they have the best attackers - RvP, Rooney, Mata, Di Maria, Falcao etc. Although they have bought Shaw, Rojo and Herrera, that is not enough to fix their midfield and defense problems.

kellzfresh 7,229 Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 Their defense is shit but they have scored 2goals in 4matches!!!I can understand why vangaal is going for attackers because the ones they have are shit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pWneR 230 Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 What a stupid move. Who are they going to drop? RVP is Van Gaal's favorite and Rooney was just made captain and is on 300k a week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GZ25 45 Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 Their squad very unbalance and will end up like Madrid last night. Full of big name attackers but conceded 4 goals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
