Great signing, how have the managed to only pay 6m for the year for him?

 

[hertsblue]

They replaced Nani and Hernandez with Di Maria and Falcao, not bad at all.

Great in perspective of player talent but if they take Falcao up on a permanent transfer then its 72 million for Di maria, 50 odd for Falcoa and even paying Nani's wages, about 4 million for his loan so anyone could do what they are doing if they spend the money like Utd have

LMAO at the rags going on like they've already won the title - don't they realise Jose won it at the weekend?

He could still fail a medical

If the rumours are true, that he failed his medical at Real, then City deserve credit for not going ahead with it, the guys at the top know what they're doing.

 

[Theengelbert]

To match his tax free wages at Monaco they're likely paying him more than Rooney

I find their scatter gun transfer "policy" quite amusing to be honest.

The new United way.... Apparently.
Is Falcao a centre half or a midfielder?

They have goal scorers, the weaknesses are in defence and midfield. If you built a team around Rooney or van Persie, they would get a very decent return. All the potential starting 11's I've seen from United fans look the most disjointed, unbalanced teams I've ever seen. Any team worth its salt would rip through them like a hot knife through butter. All the ego's wanting to play in their proper position, a few are going to be left disappointed, van Persie complained last season about players in his space. Add in big ego, high maintenance manager, and it could be a disaster.

It already is a disaster.
They haven't hit the ground running, they've belly flopped into a big pile of dogshit in the centre circle.
For the calibre of manager there and over 150m spent, they should be top of the league with Chelsea...
We got 6 easy games rammed down our throat all pre season, the wankfest of winning the pre season cup, the circle jerk of Di maria joining his boyhood club.
Then reality hit home and 2pts out of an easy 9pts has made them open the debt book and get a half fit, half the player Falcao on loan...
Smells of desperation if you ask me...

He could still fail a medical

I think they'd sign him even if he did fail the medical. There is no chance they will go through the embarrassment of doing a U turn on this deal after spending all day going on about it meaning they are still a big club blah blah.

 

[City Raider]

the summer of madness is bad news for the green and gold, no price will now get the glazers desired return on investment - they're around for the long haul

 

[zandvoort blue]

They have the potential to be an extremely good team,maybe not this season but next they will be right up there with us. On a side note Christian Purslow is an absolute twat "FFP is working it's magic" Fk off.

But Kirsty is looking good..........

Amazing yesterday he was just a mercenary who wanted as much as he could get, today he has turned down everyone to play for the shirts the next saviour of the rags. Of course the media will spin it positively, I really do hope they crash and burn again this season.

I'm with you on this

Good player but they need to strengthen their defence hope they don't as can see them losing fair few points with what they currently call a defence

I saw someone on twitter say he's taken a significant pay cut and turned down the chance to play champs league to sign for the scum and they were all lapping it up.. unbelievable Jeff!

There's no way on this planet that Falcao has taken a paycut in order to sing for the rags... no way in hell. He'll be on a mint to go there over a champs league team!
