Never. They need to strengthen their abysmal midfield first, they're alright for strikers. Unless someone goes for Rooney (Can't see many interested/willing to stump up the wages), it's a non-story.

Re: Falcao

Manchester United has every chance of being the team that Radamel Falcao joins for next season. Despite speculation in recent months linking him with Chelsea and even with Real Madrid, the fact is that the Old Trafford club is the best placed to sign the Colombian forward. Sources close to both parties suggest that a down payment may have already been made as a guarantee for a future transfer.

This sequence of events is nothing new. The same thing happened two seasons ago, when David de Gea left the Vicente Calderón to become a Red Devil. The deal between the clubs had been finalised months before, no matter how much the general public and the keeper himself said otherwise. In fact, Atlético had already pocketed a large part of the total fee paid by United. In this case however, the sums in question are going to be much bigger. De Gea left for about €20m, whilst Falcao could set United back over €50m.

One of the matters still to resolve is that of the last instalment of the €40m agreed at the time and still owed by Atlético to Porto. However, in no case will Falcao’s €60m buy-out clause – inserted into the contract tying him to the club until 2016 – be paid.

Re: Falcao

Doesn't make much sense to sign him and RvP. Same areas of play.

Re: Falcao

I guess he will be another fine addition from their youth academy, eh?

Personally I don't see it happening,and I hope he doesn't go there.

they know we will go for him, so a way to increase his price.

I think our chances of signing him are high.

I would not rule United out you know.

I have a feeling Rooney will be off in the Summer leaving a 20-30 goal a season striker needed at the scum.

They have him. RVP.

They will only sell Rooney to bring in Ronaldo or Bale imo.

I think their money is going on replacing Hargreaves (now that Fletcher looks fucked), Scholes and Giggs. Their defence needs work too.

Ferguson has needed a CM for a few years now and has refused to do so, instead concentrating on strikers.

If Rooney does leave, then it wouldn't surprise me to see them go for Falcao. Bale is a 100% non starter and Ronaldo is only a possibility at most.

A strike force of RVP & Falcao sounds frightening and they have Kagawa to try and fill the boots of Rooney should he be off.

They bought Tevez the year after they won the title. They bought Berbatov the year after they won the title. It wouldn't be surprising to see him do the same this season.

 

[cmdub]

Them buying falcao would be laughable I'd encourage it if he wants to go there.. It would be such a waste for them their midfield needs strengthening first and foremost if they wanna buy another striker go the fuck ahead. Even if Rooney leaves and that's not a very big if they still shouldn't buy him. Besides every followup I've read to that marca article says its bullshit, if us or chelsea truly want him he's gonna go to one of us two as we can offer more money and Chelsea can offer more of a starting role

 

[ped]

imo they got one final big push out of ferdinand,vidic,evera,giggs ,scholes,carick,rooney ,van persie ,nani,and young are shit,thats a lot of rebuilding,well we can live in hope.

 

[LoveCity]

Hernandez worth £20million? Good luck with that you senile old ****.

I've always thought getting Falcao would be difficult for us because Mendes is more in bed with United and Chelsea, but now Kenyon is involved too?

If us or Chelsea buy him it will = buying success.

If the rags buy him it will = making fabulous use of the transfer budget.

Fergie set to rival City for £47m Falcao as United manager prepares cash-plus Hernandez swoop for Atletico Madrid star

Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson has joined the hunt for Atletico Madrid's £47million-rated striker Radamel Falcao.

Manchester City and Chelsea have both been strongly linked with Falcao, who has established himself as one of the world's most prolific marksmen by scoring 54 goals for Atletico since arriving in Spain from Porto in 2011.

But it is understood that United have now joined the bidding for the 27-year-old Colombian and are prepared to let Javier Hernandez move to Madrid as part of the deal.

The Premier League leaders are ready to meet the £47m buyout clause in Falcao's contract by offering the Spaniards £27m cash plus Hernandez who they value at £20m.

Although reports in Spain yesterday suggested that a downpayment has already been made, it is believed that United's interest is still in its early stages.

Atletico coach Diego Simeone responded to the speculation by saying: 'Falcao is a great player and it's logical that the best teams in the world are interested in him. It doesn't surprise me.'

If United were to land Falcao it would be a bitter blow to Chelsea, who thought they were winning the race to sign him, and City boss Roberto Mancini who believes Robin van Persie's decision to choose Old Trafford over the Etihad Stadium last summer has been a key factor in this season's title battle.

However, any club wanting to sign Falcao will have to resolve an issue of third-party ownership due to the fact that a company run by former United and Chelsea chief executive Peter Kenyon and agent Jorge Mendes has owned a stake in the player since helping to finance his £34m move from Porto.

Star or Mirror?

No problem,i'd sooner Suarez.

suarez is a great replacement for either aguero or tevez but if dzeko goes like i expect we need a different type of player.

We have one in Guidetti.

That South American front three would compliment each other perfectly and terrify any defence.

Falcao's Colombian.

Yes he is.

 

[Newman Noggs]

In theory I agree with this. However, watching their recent games, I'm reaching the conclusion that they don't need a midfield at all.

 

[Ireland_for_pm]

Falcao has give the ball away due to a poor first touch more than any other player in Europe apart from pitropha of Rennes. Sounds like we have another dzeko on our hands anyway. Get Suarez in for me.

 

[St Helens Blue (Exiled)]

His form has not been as good as it was early season.
I 'd have Suarez all day over him
