In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik @Rood and Imran @Annihilate Now! start with the good news by celebrating Manchester United Women's emphatic FA Cup win over Spurs at Wembley and the future of manager Marc Skinner.
Then it's the bad news and the ever worsening form of our Men with losses to Arsenal and Palace.
Finally the main debate - ETH Out now or keep him until the end of the season - if not longer. Are you Team Nik or Team Imran?

How so? Pro players will always be happy to play with better players.Have we unsettled the squad even further?
Don't think this has been posted yet. Here's Falcao's full first interview
Edit: Nope sorry, was posted earlier.

With his name and number on it?
fecking hilarious how now that he's at united rival fans are trying to pretend he's "not all that" this guy has been the best out and out striker in world football for years. a move to monaco doesnt diminish that. you can tell their genuinely concerned. the ONLY problem with this transfer is that he's 28, so he's ONLY going to dominate the prem for 3 or so years.
but yea, lambert and ballotelli are better la.

Aw, what a nice guy, smiling all the time and says 'we' already.
They got a little pea from a much bigger market than Colombia.
Yeah he had a big grin from start to finish!
Another video of the Falcao chant of Atletico fans. Hope our fans take to it too!
I didn't even realize that Falcao spoke English.
Ah well, probably the only 'logical' explanation ( because naturally logic doesn't apply when talking about RM ).
I didn't know that either, until I checked his twitter. He often posts in English.I didn't even realize that Falcao spoke English.
Better English than Rooney, etc, etc....
Is there really much of a worry about his knee injury? This is different to the Vidal situation as although Falcao suffered a more serious injury, he wasn't rushed back like Vidal so his recovery should be better in the long run. It's also worth noting that he suffered two serious injuries to the same knee before he even moved to Europe and that didn't seem to do him any harm. I don't think this injury will necessary mean he will lose any pace at all.
He's not that dependant on pace it seems anyway. It's not like Shevchenko - a player who scored goals by running in behind.
He's a big, strong player who's movement and finishing gets him goals. Hopefully he's fine. Regardless, it's a loan deal so the club can asses him before any permanent deal.
Yup, Di Maria long sleeve jersey is next!
Awww xxx thanksHappy birthday for then my good man. Let's hope you have twice the reason to celebrate.
This is brilliant. Surely the new Viva Ronaldo.
The guys on here that can get the chants going should take note, imagine everyone bouncing to this.
Amazing how he can't even hold his smile. The guy is happy as feck.
I'm buying Di Maria 7 one this year and Falcao 9 next season if we make it permanent.
Fantastic signing.
Definetly a player you would rather have in your team than in City/Chelsea's
If he can reach his Atletico form again defenses will fear us again

He was pretty good at Monaco aswell. 11 goals in 19 last season before injury, and he's already managed 2 this season before signing for us.
In his interview with MUTV he says he has been waiting for this move for a lot of the year. Do you think there was something lined up for a while or just a translation error?
Also does anyone think we have signed him purely for the year or do you expect us to fork out what would be a large fee on a 29year old (things time next year)? I know a lot will depend on how he performs over the season. Anyway needless to say im excited by the signing but we need to vastly improve our supply to the strikers

Where do we rate Falcao's movement compared to other strikers in the league? Not too up to date on him.
This will mean Rooney and rvp can't afford to put in the kind of performances we've seen from them so far this season.Have we unsettled the squad even further?
Yeah i watched him against Bordeaux a couple of weeks ago, he scored a last minute equaliser I think
Best positional movement of any striker on Earth.
The lowest anyone could place him is JUST below Costa and Suarez.
Last goal for Monaco. Go on youtube to watch it because it's blocked.
On the face of it, I just thought it's something we've gone for because he became available recently. But the club made a point of saying when the squad numbers were announced that 5,7 and 9 would be taken by new signings, or something along them lines. Maybe we had already lined him up. I didn't expect us to sign another striker.
Absolutely. If Falcao's fit, you feel he plays. The other two, who were pretty much guaranteed a place before, now need to buck their ideas up. You'd imagine it might be then Rooney, van Persie and Mata battling for just two places in the team.

Interesting comment. Almost seems like half the point of signing Falcao, from inside the club, was to lift the mood around the club. The coaching staff see the same confidence issues we do and are struggling to talk the squad out of a rut:
“For me it was always hard work that solved things. But I agree confidence is a problem. It’s not easy at times, especially at Old Trafford where we’ve not performed really for over a year now – funnily enough away from home there’s not been the same problem. We need to get that sorted as quickly as possible.”
One way to increase collective confidence, Giggs says, is to bring in internationals of the calibre of Falcao and Ángel di María.
“When you see players of that ilk coming into the club it’s exciting; whether you’re a player or a coach it gives you a buzz. You want to play with the best players and you certainly want to coach the best. We’ve got very good players at the club now. It’s up to us – and them – to get that reflected in the results.”
OOOF!
It would explain why it seemed like he was a dead cert for Madrid for months now yet it never happened and they went for Hernandez instead (can you really see a muppet club like Madrid passing on Falcao?).
Having said that, didn't Falcao say something on Twitter about him getting his dream move to Madrid a few weeks ago?.
i just know that he started following some Real players on instagram a few weeks ago, but on Saturday he wrote dream come true #HalaMadrid on twitter and then deleted it.
Now we have Mata, Herrera and Falcao as the nicest people in the PL. Shame chicha went, he was the nicest out of all of them.

Not sure what these jounos are on, dammed if we do, dammed if we don't.
What really gets on my nerves though is the part where he says we offloaded Welbeck for £4 million less than Falcao will cost us for the year, this including Falcao's wages for the duration of the loan, conveniently forgetting Welbecks wages for the coming year at Arsenal which must be £100 k at least, which actually means Falaco is costing us £1.2 million less.
Seems alot of the papers are unhappy with us for not taking the moral high ground, and be happy wallowing in mid table until we nurture talented English players through the system, whilst making the odd astute purchase of players that other top clubs have missed, to return us to the top..... could have been a long wait!

Just watched his interview, I had no idea he could speak English.
How can anyone be against this transfer is just beyond me? I think Falcao and Mata might just be the nicest people in the world.
Funny how Di Maria and Falcao are 'panic buys'. If don't sign them, they say we can't attract the best and CL meant we couldn't sign them. Now that we have those big name players, they say they panic buys and paid extraordinary amounts of money. It is a literally catch 22 situation.
Nani in and Di Maria in. Welbeck out and Falcao in. Buttner out, Shaw in. Cleverley out, Blind and Herrera in. We still haven't finished yet this season with the janurary window, we could get Strootman/Vidal if we wanted too. If this is not moving forward and upgrading the team, then I don't know what is!
