On Falcao and Manchester United (don't look for certainties, only one)

For those of you who are looking for certitudes, for black or whites, for ‘never mind negotiations, is he definitively going?’, stop reading here because nothing is definitive in this saga yet.

The story comes from Madrid. Manchester United, I have been told, have paid an advance figure (which varies depending who you ask) for Falcao. That would mean that they are willing to pay 60 million euros for him. All that money for one player? That is the part that I cannot comprehend.

If it is true that they have made an advance payment like they did with De Gea, it means that they will almost certainly get the player. Do Manchester United need another striker? It is becoming obvious by the day that they are selling Wayne Rooney, but will anybody buy? Madrid and Barcelona are not interested. Not many other options left, and they are all in England: Chelsea, City? So they will need to sell Rooney to follow up that payment with the rest of the huge fee.

To complicate matters, Real Madrid have set eyes on two players and the media will start the saga as soon as they get KOd from the Champions League (or win it): Gareth Bale and Kun Agüero. If Kun goes, then there is a space open for Rooney, but there are lots of bridges to cross before we get there.

So, the only certitude is that from the Spanish club the leak is that Manchester Unite have made a payment for Falcao. Are they trying to push for a deal, are they trying to warn other potential suitors (Chelsea and PSG, mainly. City are not looking to replace Agüero… if they convince him to stay)

We are at that stage of the season where, yes, annoying I know, but anything can happen still

Is he a programmer for Fifa 13? Just sounds exactly like my City career on it. 'Clubs line up bids for Falcao', 'Madrid open talks with Aguero', 'Rooney surplus to requirements'.

All sounds very familier.

Its not so much that I wouldn't want Rooney here because he isn't quality, because he's top drawer on form, its that his form is dipping and he's a detestable character who's played for the rags. Tevez, for the record, isn't a fan of mine, but I get on with him because he evidently isn't a fan of United at all.

I'd take Falcao myself, based on seeing slightly more of him and that Cavani when dreadful, really is dreadful, whereas Falcao never really lets his form dip a whole lot.

So basically falcao could go to united, psg or chelsea
rooney could be sold to chelsea or city
aguero could go to real madrid

the more I read from this guy the more i'm convinced he knows nothing.

The guy is a complete fantasist. Rooney to City? Not a hope in hell!

If the rags get Falcao then we need to seriously improve to win the league next season - he will add another 20 goals onto what they already score.

is Tevez actually bothered about you at all?

Guillem Balague over a 4 week period:

Falcao to Madrid
falcao to Barcelona
Falcao to Man Utd
falcao to Man City
Falcao to Chelsea
Falcao to stay put
Falcao to PGS

In August, Guillem Balague will say "see I was correct" after Falcao signs for one of the above.

if United spend 45 million+ on another striker, I doubt they will spend big in midfield. If we make the correct purchases, then that will mean a drastically improved midfield and they will have three top strikers with poor service (look at recent games). If they get Falcao, we can definitely match it if we make the correct buys in midfield and attack.

 

[LoveCity]

How many more goals can they score, you have to ask yourself.

It's not always A + B = more goals. For example Falcao might take away some of Van Persie's goals if they play together as RvP would not so much be the focal point anymore.

We, on the other hand, genuinely need goals. We're 14 goals behind them which is an awful lot in the league.

For me the rags will undoubtedly strengthen the centre of midfield this summer, so if they sign Falcao we'd have to seriously go out and buy 3-4 proven world class consistent performers to challenge them.
