Radamel Falcao

[Rmpr 8,977]

If Manure sign Falcao and Chelsea sign Rooney, we will be the ones getting another flop!

The concern over Rooney will always be how long his body lasts. He's looked fat for the last couple of seasons and whilst that might not have affected his play, it will affect his longevity as a pro. He simply hasn't put the hard work in the last 10 years so spending money on him wouldn't be that wise in my opinion.

Please please please somebody prove this aint happening and it's a ploy to get the other suitors to step up the chase

[chrismada9 1,948]

So where exactly would Falcao fit in amongst Rooney, van Persie and Welbeck...?

... as opposed to us who only have Demba Ba as a recognised striker, providing Torres is the makeweight to any move we could make for him?

football is such a stupid business sometimes!

Sorry but I believe most things I see from Sky Sports

He can only decline. Negredo has 5 goals less then him and plays for a less talented club

[Hutcho 8,443]

Oh great. Wasn't overly fussed about us signing him, but united signing him is just gonna fuck us over probably. Don't particularly want rooney but not something i would be majorly against. Lewy would be great. Lewy, Lukaku, Hazard, Mata and oscar would be a title challenging attack, we just need a decent midfielder, and another CB, then add into that KDB etc, we would be ready to rumble.

I don't agree. Last season as a striker he scored 27 goals in the league, and a couple of years before that he scored 26, to say he's finished as a top level performer is ridiculous.

He doesn't need that blistering acceleration he used to have as a teenager, his all around game is fantastic that's why Ferguson plays him in different positions, behind the striker, as a midfielder, on the left or right, and of course where he should play, as a striker.

I agree that he doesn't have that acceleration anymore, but the people who say he lacks pace and energy are overreacting, look at this video, the top one is just from three years ago.

'Just three years ago'???? Three years is a loooooong time in football.

Rooney has always been a form player and never a consistent performer. He scores goals in bursts but there are weeks and months where he looks like an unfit amateur player. I have seen plenty of games this season alone where he looks fat, slow and his touch deserts him.

You say he isn't done as a top level performer but at the Bernabeu in the first leg he looked so completely out of his depth and off the pace it was shocking. He didn't even make the team for the return leg. Against us at Old Trafford besides his fluky freekick goal he looked like a mess. He was a complete irrelevance for 70 minutes of that game.

Since when the hell have we been linked with Rooney?

[Bosnian Blue 2,471]

Wouldn't surprise me one bit to see us hijacking the deal and then him flopping over here. Typical.

[Mustafa 885]

The funny thing is that the guys here actually think that Falcao is gonna flop if he comes to Chelsea or Man Utd.

[Special Juan 27,622]

I'm more concerned at how many people have a fanny fit over basic media tripe.

Wait and see FFS people.

[Santiago. 1,500]

He's been quiet in 2013

Falcao would thrive with players like Mata,Oscar and Hazard behind him...

We definitely have to buy a world class striker in the Summer if we want to fight for the title. I would rather us buy Lewandowski though, so much cheaper.

Lukaku, Ba and Lewandowski doesn't sound too bad...

That's essentially 3 players playing in one spot. It works well for united as they have versatile strikers, City as well. They can play deeper or out wide whereas the ones you mentioned, can't.

So what do you suggest? just having Ba and Lukaku? that'll be a big risk.

[Santiago. 1,500]

Forward that can also be deployed out wide

[Krypt 241]

Why do we need falcao when Torres is back.....

on a serious note we need him more than united. There would just be getting him to stop us having him in my opinion.
