Radamel Falcao

[Madmax 9,219]

If Hulk Hogan was available, they'd be in for him.

No way would Hulkamania run wild in Manchester, brother!

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.

Loan with option to buy they say

[DH1988 1,317]

Mental, didn't actually think anyone was crazy enough to go for this.

[The only place to be 11,313]

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.

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.

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.

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.

10 m loan + 55 m buy option (in euros) it is reported now.

[laeth 527]

What a weird move by United =/

[petre.ispirescu 4,928]

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

[sainttourist 68]

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.

[SinineUltra 1,170]

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]

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

[Special Juan 27,439]

United fans fuming about this because their defence is still a fucking mess.

[Thendo 1,088]

World class attack + championship level defence = mid table?

[didierforever 7,349]

Sp what is it?

65mil , or 12mil £ loan, or 10mil +55 compulsory buy.

[pWneR 230]

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.
