Radamel Falcao

[1611]

A shadow of the man who terrorized Portugal and Spain. Initially seemed like a pretty good deal for United but he's not firing at all.

He's on loan

Falcao's confidence is shot. He's probably accepted that he'll never be the same player he was from Porto and Atletico. Damn shame.

 

[Hamzah]

I will give him credit for that, but even at that time I wasn't buying the hype.

 

[antonnn]

Yeah I know it's a loan, which is why it looked like a good or at least safe deal.

Or maybe he really is born in 1984 and he's starting to get a little old now plus the injury, lol.

 

[1611]

How can a one year loan deal be bad? Considering how, despite his horrid finishing, he works harder than all of their forwards? I say it's going to be bad IF United signs him

He basically replaced Chicharito

 

[Flavia]

Too bad his hala madrid wasn't true, then.

He replaced Welbeck with Wilson replacing Chicarito...The deal is not so bad because it allowed us to sell welbeck and let Wilson develop with a bit less pressure.....Wilson was good today and I hope he goes on to make signing Falcao unnecessary because even at his best he won't justify the fee of 43 million at his age...

You should sign him on another loan so he can be the backup to Dybala or Berahino or whoever you guys will poach this summer

ADM - Herrera (or Vidal/Barkley)
Mata
Rooney - Dybala/Berahino

Falcao and RVP as subs

 

[Mitchell1978]

He was the world best pure 9 at one point but hasn't been the same player since his injury.

 

[Ode to Django]

pff.. give him a consistent run of games & he'll bang them in

 

[Deco 20]

His situation reminds me of Torres'. Injury followed by a high profile move. But in Falcao's case the injury was more severe, and the competition up front is tougher.

 

[Bertus]

Falcao and Cavani are so underwhelming.

Their time in France killed their talent.

 

[Ode to Django]

The defender also got a touch at the last in the chance too

He's still a bigger threat compared to RVP and was getting into good positions yesterday...The only problem I have with him his his proposed fee and wages....I'd snap him up for 25 million and 120k a week but for 40 million + and 250 k a week wages we should be getting world class players in their prime not nearing their 30's.....

 

[linetty]

United are paying crazy money for nothing, in short.... Shaw especially, ridiculous...

They bought players at crazy amounts that are already past their peak
