Falcao at Chelsea | Potential flop of the season?
- Thread starter gooDevil
- Start date

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?

Since when has Mourinho been some manager who rejuvenates players careers? Why would he tell him that he'll have as long as it takes? Falcao will be back up to Costa, but nothing more. Also, why is it inevitable? The guy had knee surgery, and his poor form had very little to do with us. He just didn't perform well at all in a United shirt despite getting loads of opportunities. Plenty of effort, but the quality was gone.
Aye, he's not at that level.
He was given as much time as he deserved and we could afford give him, rehabilitating falcao was not as important as trying to get back in the champions league and his performances were so poor he was a liability.
Mourinho has very little patience, he doesn't rotate unless he has to so falcao will be in a very similar situation to last season, I don't think mourinho has ever told any player he will wait as long as it takes for them to regain form.
In all honesty though, I wish he had fecked off to Italy or Spain. If and it's a big if, he can rediscover any semblance of his past form, he will be a great option for Chelsea. Judging by the fact he generally failed to stay on his feet last season, this looks unlikely, but you never know.
It's a bit like when Hernandez spent a year moaning about not playing enough and then decided to go and sit on the bench at Real Madrid. If Falcao feels like he needs to be playing every week to reach full fitness he's not going to be getting that at Chelsea.
Mourinho doesn't even rotate for the League Cup.

So. Is anyone going to get all offended if he dares to celebrate if/when he scores against us?
Or do we reserve that sort of derision for local lads who actually scored some
important goals and never cost the club a penny?
Particularly interested in the views of those who had a go at Welbeck over the FA Cup goal celebration, obvs.

For some reason I want Falcao to do well at Chelsea but I want De Gea to flop at Madrid.
Agree, it would have been an incredible decision to keep him on. He looked sluggish, didn't suit us, can't see him playing as a a loan front man for us, and it was quite worrying seeing him make no impact against lower division teams in cups.
I really do feel quite foolish for my early season fan boy behaviour, even considering a FALCAO shirt!
He may even score less goals. Believe.
Read it again so.
Chelsea will be excellent regardless of whether or not Falcao has a decent season.
He isn't going to score 20 goals. He'll barely play.
Comprehension isn't the issue, it's the content.
"I want the new Chelsea striker to score bags of goals, but that doesn't mean I want Chelsea to do well"
Because logic.
There is that saying that "form is temporary and class is permanent". Mourinho gets it right more oftten than he gets it wrong. I wont be surprised if Falcao does well there.
Good luck to him. Just glad he didn't sign for the scouse or the light blue lot.
Tactics wise yeah, but give me an example of a players career who he recovered, made them rediscover their form after being in woeful form for a while? Class is permanent, but so is the fact that he had ACL surgery which is always incredibly hard to come back from. And that has clearly affected his game.
ah yes, just like that certain ukranian striker that played so well under mourinho
Well you clearly seem more butthurt than the people you are mocking
Falcao's **** like status continues, some people actually want him to do well at Chelsea? Seriously?
About Falcao celebrating if he scores? Couldn't give a toss. Just like I couldn't give a toss when Welbeck celebrated that goal. Not sure what your point is?
Bit rich to expect a point after you have just made a post about a hypothetical Falcao celebration after a hypothetical goal for a club he is yet to sign for.
This transfer screams 'Jorge Mendes' to me.
That's not the point though. Having Falcao doing well for them will increase their chances...him being bad is good for United. The team you support?
Falcao's career has been kind of ruined by Mendes and Co, being second choice at Chelsea is hardly a sensible move for him but he has no other option.
He now plays for another club, I am assuming we could have kept him if we had wanted, but as likable and respectful as he is,
I could not see anything that made it seem like a good idea.
So he has gone elsewhere, I don't wish him any harm, but as a player for the main contender for the team most likely to be pushing for the title,
I hope he does not do well,

He was a cracking player, who tried to get his form back , but he failed.
Hre wants to try again at Chelsea good luck to him, personally dont care where he ended up, I don't really see him improving any team that he is in and certainly not at Chelsea, there is better than him there already.
If he plays against us and scores and celebrates, so what.
He is now and Ex-United player.

He will probably be a 3rd striker there and will be used as Drogba. Dont see him being any better than Drogba has been this season.
Dont ruin 'Mourinho does everything best' athomsphere here.
Remy > Falcao
This season will be the second time he shits all over Abramovich's Chelsea.
I'll explain this again. Chelsea will score goals. If I had a choice between seeing Costa scoring 20 goals or Falcao scoring 20 goals, then I'd choose Falcao because he is an ex United player and I like him. It's really simple.
I'm dreading this. We'll just have to win the league to make sure it doesn't hurt.
I can see this happening.
It is a bit weird though.
If Falcao is playing well next season then you can bet your arse Chelsea will be doing too. Nice guy, but I hope he falls on his fat arse every time he touches the ball next season.
Yeah but you said something about not wanting him to fail at Chelsea. Costa is going to score lots of goals anyway...the only thing that is up for debate is whether Falcao will be scoring goals when Costa is injured or rested. I think it's a bit strange that a United fan wouldn't want him to fail for chelsea
Ditto
I feel cheated. Can't wish him the best but he seems like a great person.
I hope he scores against us just to hear the reaction from @Annihilate Now!.
