Madmax 9,219 Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 Falcao is the new torres and Remy is the new demba ba/sturridgeTorres was a better striker.I know you're using the metaphor in terms of manager preference though.

yuvala 2,167 Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 Falcao is not Torres, he is not starting and he is leaving soon enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pacquiao 1,834 Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 No idea how anyone can judge Falcao yet, we have barely seen him, he cant be match fit yet as he has barely played, Walsall will probably be his first start and where we can judge him better, hopefully he will start that game with some creative players like Hazard, Fabregas and Pedro, which will give him a better chance to get his first goal, if he starts that game with Moses and Remy on the wings then it could be a long night Zazard 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For what it's worth I would love to witness Falcao scores, not only it would lift his confidence but also his goal celebration is hardcore and epic.

MrBlueGuy 1,552 Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 User Actions FollowFabrizio RomanoVerified account@FabrizioRomano#Falcao can join Manchester City. Possible deal on next hours, talks ongoing with Monaco. In this case, Negredo would go to Valencia #MCFCWhy did you post a tweet that is 1 year old lol. They might have been interested in him then.

MrBlueGuy 1,552 Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 Falcao's match fit. Stop making excuses for him. If he's not match fit, then he hasn't been for 1 and half years.Need 15 matches to judge him then after that it would be 'he didn't start enough' then 'he is free anyway'. Point is he is past it and will flop here so badly but most people just jump onto the usual 'settling in' reason. Mana 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pacquiao 1,834 Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 ...The definition of match fit is you are in good physical condition to play matches. Falcao is match fit.no it isnt. Every professional footballer says you can train as much as you want but you only get fully match fit by playing matches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pacquiao 1,834 Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 No it isn't? Look up the definition of match fit, because I'm not making it up.And you are giving him another excuse already. He isn't any different from the first game he played for United, how many more matches does he have to play before he's "match fit?"you clearly dont know what match fit means, just leave it at that.and again what are you talking about, saying he isnt any different, he has barely played! its bizarre how you can judge him already when he hasnt had a chance yet, he has made 3 sub appearances 2 when we were down to 10 men! and you are already comparing him to last season! judge him when he actually gets some decent amount of miutes on the pitch.

Pacquiao 1,834 Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 Nah, you don't know what match fit means. Now let's leave it at that.Why should I not compare him to last season? Why should I not compare him to Copa America? We do it with other players, why is Falcao an exception? Because he's shit? That's why Chelsea for example got Pedro and looking at Pogba. Because of their last season performances.I've seen enough of him to know if he's going to make an impact. He's virtually the same as he was last season. And it's most likely he'll stay that way.as i said you dont know what your talking about!and the reason why you shouldnt compare him is because there is nothing to compare him to! he has barely played for us! what part of that dont you understand???

lionsden 4,689 Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 Does this match fitness excuse also apply to other squad players like Remy,Zouma,Mikel et al who are required/expected to come on at anytime without any real consistent game time or starts and give good performances? or is it only exclusive to falcao.

BlueStorm1003 539 Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 Yes, there is something to compare him to: His form last season & Copa America. Leaving this out completely and trying to make that irrelevant makes you ignorant.What you DON'T get either is that it doesn't matter if he "barely" plays for us, he'll always be the same Falcao we saw last season. As I said earlier, Chelsea and Mourinho aren't magicians who magically transform a finished player to lethal player. We tried it with Torres, we tried it with Drogba (on his return).What part of he's finished don't you understand? It's like trying to make a three-legged tiger run fast as a four-legged tiger.Sorry to barge in in your debate, but I agree with you.No need to call him ignorant. We are all mates here! Or at least I hope so. Mana 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueLion. 21,491 Posted August 27, 2015 Author Share Posted August 27, 2015 It's hard for most players coming off the bench for only 25 minutes at a time, especially for lone strikers. Let's judge him after a full 90. I don't think anyone was expecting him to light the world up, but if he offers a Drogba-like contribution this season and scores us 10 goals across all competitions, that's good enough for me from a player who has cost us £2m.

Remy and Ba before him make use if their limited time.Costa is number one, that won't be changing this season, so we need the back ups to produce when they get the chance.

Also he is never getting full 90 so guess we will be waiting a while... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
