If memory serves me right, and it might not, we were due to pay £18million in fees and wages for one season for Falcao. Liverpool paid that in the transfer fee alone. Then when you add his wages! Plus, you're stuck with the useless sack of ****e while we can just say goodbye at the end of the season.
Yeah, but they'll be able to sell him so it will be a great bit of business. Just like Chelsea managed to sell Torres for a decent price after one season and didn't have to pay his overinflated wages for all of his contract. If only we'd just bought Falcao for about £35m like a clever club would have...
The new Sky deal means Burnley will be able to afford Falcao. Fortunately, Chelsea and Jose, best-run club in England now, can run a better business on £300m a year than United can on £500m a year. The new Sky deal closes the gap from 2016 despite United and City's suspect sponsorship deals with Chevrolet and Qataris. United had better win the league soon before the new Sky deal comes in and evens out the advantage that United and City enjoy from their suspect commercial deals
Do you even believe the ****e you write yourself? How does it close the gap? Or have Chelsea got a special contract of their own in which they get paid more than the rest? Here's the news, until you get yourself a nice 75k seater stadium you won't be closing any gap. MUFC = Self made and self financing.
No of course he doesn't I'm sure he's just doing his best to embarass Chelsea fans as much as possible. Needs some tips from Math tho.
He's clearly not the same player he was 2 or 3 years ago at Atletico. He lacks that bit of pace and acceleration that made him deadly for them. I don't think the tactics United are playing really help him either. Not just the long balls but the build up play is pretty slow and he strikes me as the kind of striker that is best playing on the counter, making runs into space left behind by the defenders. Probably why he was so good in Spain as there is normally so much space in those games. It often turns into attack v defence and he was excellent at exploiting that. He's making Balotelli look a good buy though so all in all, I'm happy
Falcao is a lone central striker, the same with RVP. Neither of them are cut out to play as the supporting striker. He's had the odd game without RVP but his confidence is on the floor thanks to LVG using him incorrectly. You cannot play with 2 players like RVP and Falcao as a pairing, as they are both lone strikers and have made there names as lone strikers. Some may argue that RVP has played with Rooney, and Falcao played with Costa, but both Costa and Rooney played in a more supporting role. They dropped deeper and did a lot of the donkey work. I think LVG loaned Falcao because he can't trust RVPs fitness, but RVP has been fit most of the season, so he's been forced into playing them as a pairing. It's easy to have a pop at Falcao, but it isn't his fault. Blame LVG for being tactically naive. He just throws good players on the field together and wrongly assumes they'll play well together. He has no clue about how to build a team with balance
TBH right now I would rather have Hernandez back. Even IF Falcao plays the same as RVP, surely the one advantage Hernandez has is he offers something completely different to our other strikers. And I actually feel he would have been a bigger success than Falcao this season with the way we're currently playing. He would suit our style more bcos he plays off the shoulder of the defence, his movement in the box is second to none, and he has pace. He would probably open up play for others with his movement as well. Plus he's free.
I like Hernandez too, but he's another player who needs to play the main striker role. Him and RVP have played as a pairing before and they didn't play well together. Hernandez best form was when we first got him and he was playing as the main striker with Rooney dropping into the hole
Hard to disagree. He would bring some much needed pace up front. It's better than using Di Maria as a pacey alternative
