Thoughts on Falcao to Utd?

by Kick Mon Sep 01, 2014 11:26 pm

Meh, doesn't solve their problems and how he performs in a physical league like the EPL is debatable. Plus its only a loan so I don't think it makes Utd title contenders, at all.

Much prefer him there than at City. They've already got a superb set of strikers who are underperforming for lack of service and overall poorness in the team's play as a whole. That's not going to magically change with Falcao now there.

Di Marzio reporting it's a 15m Euro loan FEE and 12m Euro wages rofl

by Shed Mon Sep 01, 2014 11:40 pm

Hey, if he nets 20+ this season, that'll look a bargain come May.

Jake Cohen · @JakeFCohen : Manchester United now has the top 3 (Di Maria, Falcao, RVP) and 5 of 8 (Mata, Rooney) most expensive players in PL wrt annual costs.

I am not sure how many more signings they can make, they're up near 200m spent this summer.

by Shed Mon Sep 01, 2014 11:57 pm

With the amount of revenue they rake in, its probably not even of the slightest concern to them.

by Soul Tue Sep 02, 2014 12:33 am

Oh yeah I forget he was linked to City as well.

His arrival is good for the EPL as I'm sure he'll have a few great moments.

I just saw the WAGNH's article pondering whether we should have gone for him rather than Remy. If not for his outrageous wages and stupid loan fee it'd be a better choice IMO obviously.

Alot harder for us to keep more than one top class striker happy as we only ever play with one striker is the biggest issue with us going for him, will be very interesting to see how he goes.

That said we have the 2 best keepers in the league Laughing

Fair enough. I completely agree.

Buys 58m pound winger and plays him in CM in the first game

Thats actually his BEST position going by his previous season's exploits.

Arsenal sign Wellbeck for 16mil rofl

by Shed Tue Sep 02, 2014 7:32 am

Our poor brethren in the Arse section trying to put on an excited face about it Proud

by Kick Tue Sep 02, 2014 12:02 pm

Interesting move for Arsenal. They still needed a CB and a DM though, poor summer for them.

Utd's defence still doesn't impress me.

by Shed Tue Sep 02, 2014 12:33 pm

£16m for Welbeck is a ripoff of the highest order.

by fatman123 Tue Sep 02, 2014 12:49 pm

Chelsea and City really are a mile ahead of the pack

by Kick Tue Sep 02, 2014 12:51 pm

It is, in a world where Remy goes for 10m, Welbeck for 16m is insane!

Just as bad as Lallana for 25m!

by Shed Tue Sep 02, 2014 12:54 pm

Arse are really only a few signings away from being able to truly compete, which makes their persistent, continual unwillingness to just spend what's necessary (when they are eminently capable of doing so) all the more baffling.

Not that I'm complaining, mind.

I would describe it as asking Emma Watson out, her saying yes, only to realise she has a horribly deformed body.

Pretty face, horrible body.

by Shed Tue Sep 02, 2014 2:30 pm

In keeping with that analogy, it would also be appropriate in that it'd be amazing up top, shit everywhere else.
