All are due back after International break. As for RVP he played last week so looks fit but there's been several rumours around that he needs surgery, no idea on what limb.
According to Metro, he needs surgery on the same injury he sustained during the CL.

I remember when he was leaving Atletico after only 2 seasons, he went up to the stands after the last game and was with the fans saying his goodbyes. Seems to build a great relationship with every club he's at despite being there for such a short time. Seems like a genuinely good guy compared to some other footballers.
That's good. And from what I hear, despite us not being in the CL and having interest from other big clubs, Falcao wanted a move to us.

Polar opposite to Costa.

He looks like some kind of ancient warrior. Feel like he is meant to be heading into battle at Troy alongside Achilles rather than in Manchester. Must be the long hair.

You can tell by his facial expression's he's genuinely delighted to be a Manchester United player, I'm guessing Real Madrid (1st) and Manchester United (2nd) were always his dreams, but if this was the case why did he take a move to Monaco? It could have stood in the way of ever joining those clubs and effectively ruined his career so to speak.

Money of course. But then he quickly realized there are more important things in your career.

I remember reading that he really had no say in going to Monaco, and the entire deal was orchestrated by his agent. Hopefully this won't spell out trouble for us in the future, if we decide to sign him on a permanent basis.

I don't think Rooney can play RW as an Inside Forward. He's right footed and has no pace. But then again, it's FM.
Id play Januzaj there but I had to be realistic and face the fact Rooney will play. Anywhere you put him just ruins everything.

I know some people are greedy but I'm beginning to think its down to the agents. I never understood players like Yaya, Aguero, Eto & Falcao going to unknown teams for extra money when playing at the top level at any top club in Europe will boost your bank account to more than you could ever spend in a life time.

Agents are probably manipulative cnuts when it comes to transfer business, and will push for whatever move makes them the most money, yes.

I was one of the first people to start jizzing over the possibility of Falcao coming here last night, when there was nothing but a few squabbling rumours! Wow what a difference 24 hours makes, we now have Radamel fecking Falcao in our squad!!

I guess we will 99.9% make this transfer permanent sometime over the season assuming nothing goes horribly wrong. Hopefully his goals will fire us back into the CL and maybe even title no21 if we can quickly make up lost ground.

I dunno why we haven't paid Monaco the £40million fee yet, I'm assuming that's down to them rather than us. I'm sure as soon as he's banging in the goals, we will sign him to a 4/5 year contract by activating that clause. Can't believe we've pretty much spent £200million on players this summer :lol:

The method of the madness signing another stiker, this signing that actually makes sense. You pick the bones of our strikers, welbeck sold, Hernandez on loan, RVP may need surgery, and rooney is not in great form. Falcao could be a great signing has despite him being the same age has rooney, he offers something we do not have, a more direct pace from our strikers inside the box, and on an individual level he seems to be in his prime, which I do not think rooney and RVP are in.
