On form he's the best pure striker in the world. I was worried about him going to you tbh, but I can't see the plan United have in mind. You're correct though, he's a huge risk now. He should have moved to an elite club after Atletico but he ended up with Monaco. He's only played 1 season in the CL in his entire career and he's 29 this season. He's so class that he'll probably deliver for them, but if his injury (which was serious) has crocked him it'd be a complete disaster. I don't see the logic. They have Rooney and RVP and enough problems fitting them in together.I'm no cynic said:
Mata was an unconsidered buy as well and he's declined massively. They just seem to be throwing darts at the biggest available names and hoping for the best. They're going Real Madrid levels of crazy. I think buying Mata and that ridiculous contract/captaincy for Rooney has really shot them in the foot. Rooney hasn't been good for a while now, and this is the second time he's bent them over a barrel for wages. Now they can't drop him and it's hindering RVP and their entire team shape with this stupid 352 system. How they're going to fit Falcao into that is beyond me.
Leave them to it. They've spent an almighty fortune and their team is ridiculously unbalanced and uncoordinated. They're not close to either of us as a team. They could make top 4 by virtue of the sheer quality of some of their players though, but Arsenal and Liverpool should still beat them out.
