People will try to justify and get excited over anything. We could sign a balloon and some people will be like "that balloon once scored for sunderland against liverpool, it will return to form.

All that stuff by Mourinho about earning your time on the pitch - never a bigger indictment of it as total BS than having Falcao get more minutes over Remy.

I'm more worried about players like Ramires who can't pass a ball than Falcao.

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/

"Moyes. Long term stability rather than short term drama."

:lol:

^^^^^^^^LOL people debating if Falcao is not better than Costa? I mean fcuking hell he was in Team of the Year a coupke of years ago, wake the fuck up. Like many have said though, it is not about the name but rather the suitability to the system and Costa is perfect for us atm.

Attracting stars? Hardly, here is the breakdown of his agreement or contract or whatever you want to call it - I'd certainly sacrifice CL football for this...

£12m loan fee

£350,000 a week wages = £18.2m a year before tax

+ an agreement to sign him for an additional £51m next year to avoid FFP rules on a four year deal at the same wages which is £91m in a wages total for the five years before tax + £61m transfer fee (Inc. the loan fee)

Total investment in a 29 year old striker = £152m

*Sources are various, obviously what we have all read just collated into one place.

Good player but a risky investment and a heck of alot of money.

I'm completely fine with spending £800k this summer (net spend).

Mean while if we spend the same amount of money on Cavani I am sure no one would complain(£150k per week not £300k+ for Cavani though) but the fee is nothing unreasonable.

Shows you how big of a club United are, they can attract the biggest stars without CL football... yes, it definitely has nothing to do with the outrageous wages their offering... :lol:

It's not just that, Falcao wanted RM a lot more than United and I think he would've preferred City too If they could've sign him, while Di Maria was close to PSG and he reportedly preferred them. Those are really big signings for United, 2 of the best players in the world, but there wasn't a real market for both and united didn't face any competition.

why are people obsessed with comparing players?

it doesn't matter, all that matters is who's the better team

No idea who the better striker is because they're different players, however one thing I do know is that Diego is better for us. Falcao probably wouldn't have fitted in our system, we need a big presence up front someone Didier esque and Costa is that guy. I have a lot more faith in Costa working in our system than I would Falcao.

I agree however it is no excuse we could use to put them down, I mean Fabregas wanted Arsenal return apparently before signing for us. Hazard only chose us because we offered more than MU and City and countless other cases. I agree it is annoying for them to sign a good striker but we should stop trying to dig ridiculous excuses to make us look like hypocrites.

MU only realized this summer you have to sign the top players for huge fees if you wanna get back up top, they had to overpay because of CL football missing.

£150k a week equates to £31.2m in wages over the probable four year contract + the £40m transfer fee, its a bit different from the figures of Falcao however I agree I don't think people would be moaning - I think we can all agree though we're happy with how our club is being run at the moment? £800k, not bad.

We did what we did early in the window and looking back the players weren't just good but the moving early was better.

We acted on Remy because Torrres went late....We dotted the 'i's' and crossed the 't's' whilst United and Arsenal will still learning to write.
