But its improving them in the wrong area.

I also feel Rooney and Van Persie have every reason to be a it pissed off about this deal. They are United's 2 best players and 1 is about to be replaces.

Also at 29, and when coming back from an injury things can be very unpredictable. Falcao is only human. Torres wore out younger than he did.

and what about his wages. £200m? more?

I understand what you're saying but if Falcao ends up replacing Rooney/RVP it will be on merit. He's a loan signing, so no big risk if he doesn't force his way into the first team. Utd have such a huge turnover they can easily afford his wages for a season.

He's 28, and his game is very different to someone like Torres or Owen who were reliant on their pace. He's a lethal finisher who barely leaves the box so the injury is less likely to impact his performance. It is a risk. But it's one they can afford.
 
No, many people tire of reading the absolute bilge that you post, that's merely bitterness personified.

Why would I be bitter? We've had an outstanding window, are playing great football, have a young team and manager, and have more points than last year's amazing performance after 3 fixtures <diva>

Both your teams barely have 2 points to rub together so I can see why you are sore <ok>

We'll see what happens but I still feel they do not need to sign a striker at all. When you have such big weaknesses you dont strengthen your strengths first.

You'd have creamed your kecks had Falcao arrived at Anfield on loan, now he's gone to United, it's somehow a crap deal, you're just as bitter as ****
 
The key word is need. I'v made it very clear that you dont need Di Maria and Falcao.

You need a CM and Cb's.

Di Maria and Falcoa are expensive panic buys.

We desperately needed Di Maria. The way our strikers have started the season we need a goalscorer. We signed two CMs and a CB. We need another CB.
 
Why? In a balanced 5-3-2 surely he replaces Mata?

He can play in the middle, he can play on the wing. Valencia, Young, Nani...none of them have cut it for a long time on the wing. He will provide competition for Mata as well which can only be a good thing.

Wow. Are you serious in not getting the point or just trying to WUM <laugh> (which doesn't work from a position of weakness BTW)

We needed a striker, Man Utd need a defence. Falcao on loan to us (with option to buy in place once fitness was proved) would have been a good move but Balotelli for cheaper fee, cheaper wages, permanent deal, younger and fitter is a better gamble ATM though.

Who is being left out of the side to make room for Falcao?

I'm sure he can only be a good thing, just wondered why you thought you desperately needed him. Maybe if you abandon the 5-3-2 it makes more sense.
Of the big names you've been linked with you desperately needed Vidal and Hummels more.
 
Tobes, really? It's incredibly ironic that you throw the word bitter around so freely. You're the original bitter just camped on our board. Even when we were spanking spurs yesterday your bitter vile was still spewing. It is obvious di maria and Falcao are great players but that doesn't stop them being panic buys. If LVG feel they are to be the lynch pin of the style he is trying to embed than fair enough, but my gut says he is floundering and has cash and has just spunked it on the best available players, regardless of how they fit in the side. A far cry from what SAF would have done. United's strongest 11 on paper shows just how unbalanced they are....

Yes Vidal, Hummels, Fabregas would have been great signings but they all said no

So now Mad mario is a better deal than Falcao would have been? <laugh>

As if given the straight choice between Falcao on loan with a view to a perm or that balloon on a perm, you'd have ever chosen the latter.

You keep telling yourself that..........

As for how United could use their squad - Rooney could drop back into the 10 role for a start off, plus there's rumours that Van Persie needs an Op.
