Radamel Falcao

[RoyalBlues 4,050]

"United can attract and pay world-class players with no CL football. It's the combination of financial muscle and reputation that is impressive."

"I think the manager helps out in this case. I don't think we nab players like Di Maria or Falcao with Moyes. The money is important but playing for the likes of Van Gaal or Sir Alex is part of the draw too I would imagine."

"Mourinho must be crying himself to sleep. He would kill to have one of our attackers, let alone all of them."

"Attracting all these players without CL football is proof of how big a club United really is."

Redcafe...ohhh lord.

Haha, let they talk what they want now. Suddenly they forget 2 days ago they can't even beat mighty Burnley.

This Falcao transfer, reminds me very much with Torres transfer back then.

They have the greatest striker ever though, so great infact, he will not only play CF but also as a DM and CB.

Trizy: "You can tell by his facial expression's he's genuinely delighted to be a Manchester United player, I'm guessing Real Madrid (1st) and Manchester United (2nd) were always his dreams, but if this was the case why did he take a move to Monaco? It could have stood in the way of ever joining those clubs and effectively ruined his career so to speak"

JohnDoe: Money of course. But then he quickly realized there are more important things in your career.

When I heard City were in for him yesterday I was terrified. I was relieved when he signed for Monaco instead of Chelsea in 2013. Radamel Falcao is a beast that can destroy any team in the World. It's surreal to have him, crazy 24 hours. We have now a frightening team up front. People can be jealous and play down this transfer all they want. The fact is they are terrified that this is the turning point. We can get Rafa, Herrera, Rojo, Shaw, Blind, Di Maria and Falcao into the team ready for QPR. A fecking storm is coming and QPR are going to feel the wrath. Bring it on

LMAOOOOO!!!!

Lol, I bet if Falcao join City or us, everybody will said because of money. But if MU, he finally realized something more important than money.

Yes he is a monster at Atletico, but you never know how that knee injury could affect his performance. We will see.

[BlueLyon 9,359]

The moment when you realize United would be more dangerous if they bought Vlaar, Wiliams or Shawcross instead of Falcao...and their fans know that deep down.

It will be interesting to see next game(s), but for that money they should win the league..

why are people obsessed with comparing players?

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

Falcao is a more gifted talent than diego costa. However I love costa on this chelsea team. He's, to quote johnny depp in blow, a guy with balls.

I'll just address this first... No he isn't. Costa is bigger, stronger, just as good in front of goal. Not to mention he's younger, and with him at the helm of a team, the team has been more successful than any team Falcao has led.

As for Falcao and Man United, I think they will clearly be a force. There is too much current top level talent there to not be a great side. I personally think they'll destroy the smaller teams in the league with so much attacking prowess. They may struggle against the bigger sides getting caught out on counters and their defense lacking, but at the same time, they can shoot their way back into the game. I think some people on here are talking more in hope than their actual beliefs. Like us, they are a big team, and it's foolish to think they won't be back on top very soon. I'm sure there were United fans hoping the same thing when we went through our slump, but I'm sure most of them knew we'd be back.

I say good. I hope they keep buying players, and we keep beating them. Keep beating this bought team.

Yes Falcao is a more gifted talent than Costa, yes he is better than Costa while at Atletico days together. But last season, I don't think so. This season, we don't know yet, too early to say, but in my opinion I don't think so.

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/

This is going to be fun if there is no positive in all this spending. moyes will be keyboard warrior against Man U

[boshman 1,073]

Fuck. Falcao could really improve United. Expensive but a really good signing for them.

Still don't stop them being shit in defence and midfield. They could have all the strikers in the world but if they can't dominate midfield or keep the ball out the back of the net then it doesn't matter. Don't worry yourself about it.

A quote i saw last night.

Signing Falcao is like going into hospital for heart surgery and coming out with a boob job. It looks good but is completely fucking pointles!!

Sums it up nicely i think

Radamel Falcao to earn £346,000 per week as Manchester United pay £24 million for season-long loan

[Special Juan 27,528]

Greedy cunt and yet still no CL for him

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

[MrBlueGuy 1,552]

^^^^^^^^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.

[bababoom 4,478]

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...

[Special Juan 27,528]

Said when Rooney was offered fucking stupid money that the next big signing will want more and the poisoned chalice will continue, it has, the rocky road continues.

[DH1988 1,331]

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).
