    The ABU's are jealous that their team didn't sign a world-class striker in Falcao, i still can't believe we've got him.

    He always wanted to play at UTD, ewhen he was 8 years old, he was asked who do you wish to play for when you get older, he said Man UTD, the reporter asked what about Liverpool, he said no, then he asked what about ££££ or Routemaster FC, he said who are they.. <laugh>

    Is it this fella:
    http://www.givemesport.com/498845-divock-origi-reveals-he-snubbed-tottenham-for-liverpool

    And of course no one ever says anything but the truth in their interviews for their new club do they. Apparently whilst Danny Welbeck was winning the league he was actually dreaming of finishing fourth with Arsenal...

    If someone's a lifelong fan of the club then yes that may sway their views. But then as Gerrard showed in 2005 before Liverpool caved in to his wages demands, even apparent fans of the club will consider moving to a bigger club if they think they can earn more success and better wages.

    You act like that's a new thing, you signed Van Persie 2 seasons ago.....
    Oh and the answer is the same as when any team signs any player....Money....lots and lots of money....

    The understudy who made 44 appearances? He played as CF behind or beside Falao, it's a bit like me calling Rooney the understudy to Van Persie.

    I'd be careful about throwing around nick names, wasn't Moyes 'The Chosen One'. How'd that pan out ;)

    Following Matt on twitter I've seen all Falcao's PR rubbish about United... the man that tweeted 'Hala Madrid' a day before signing for them. If Madrid want him he'll be gone in a year.

    Thank goodness Raheem is English... he's probably stuck with us!

    Esteban Cambiasso on why he chose to sign for Leicester City (translated):

    "At the end of the day it was a combination of the lure of authentic Melton Mowbray pork pie and the knowledge that Leicester will be the final resting place of the last of the Plantagenet kings, Richard III"


    I found this most refreshing - evidence that at least one footballer is not just a shallow, greedy, cultureless, bling obsessed amoeba ... although why United have spent so much money on dragging Mark Falco out of retiremnent, even if it is on a loan basis, is beyond me ...

    Sterlings a united fan and has a buyout clause.

    Go on ed, bring down an entire race of people with just one bid, the bid to end all bids.

    Perez: "Falcao is a great player but there came the economic equation and also one must respect the coach&#8217;s decision".
