Must have been a great guy off the pitch as I barely remember him and Januzaj on the pitch together

He reminds me of Forlan. Great player but it just didn't work out.
He was a nice guy and worked hard but it was obvious as feck from the very begining to anyone with a brain that a 28 year old moving to a new league after a massive knee injury was going to be another Shevchenko.
… and then of course we have all this to come:

I could score 10 goals a season with Fabregas' through balls.
Mendes: "You heard the old Trafford crowd, they worship him"
Mourinho: "Great. Can he stand up straight?"
Mendes: (tumbleweed)

Really popular with our players it seems, great guy.
Leave the Premier League Falcao, go South and you will find a decent form again.

It's a real shame this move didn't work out for Falcao, although obviously we don't know what goes on behind closed doors, the impression I get is much the same as the rest of you, just seems like a nice fella.
None of the ego which is so public with most of the top players. A very dignified spell at OT (especially as I assume he would have expected to start virtually every game when he signed). And a very dignified exit too, I would like to wish him the best wherever he ends up next!

It's not fair, we get a real gent at the club but due to his injuries he couldn't replicate his form with us. Just watch him get back to his best. He's going to be great, and it won't be with us.
He and his agent are ambitious .I give them that
I can't understand why people keep saying he's going to get back to his best next season and we'll look daft for not signing him. There is no chance he'll ever get back to his best.
Now he might be better than he has been this year with a full pre season behind him, but it'd be hard for him to be any worse.

Yeah I don't get it, he was dreadful when he was here and showed no signs he'll get close to his best, that injury really fecked him up.
Glad he's gone was a waste of space really, I was worried we'd sign him permanently.
The "he gave his all" Stuff always makes me laugh to, I'd try hard if I was getting £250,000 per week as well, doesn't mean I'm any good.
reading reports he was no is desperate to join Chelsea , would they even consider him ?

As a reply to Young saying he enjoyed playing with Falcao. Such a shame it didn't work out. Incredibly easy to like him.
Can't see it. Costa is far better than he is now and Remy is better currently as well. Even with the large pay cut that's being talked about he'd probably be on higher wages than most of our players. Too high for a squad player.
Don't see why Falcao himself would want to be our 3rd choice striker.
just my thoughts , he could go to quite a few teams and be a decent addition to their squad , why play 3 fiddle at Chelsea.
Hopefully not, Even a 37 year old Drogba was better this season. Also if we did and he somehow become good, I would probably get banned on here for being a wum!
No way IMO. Mourinho already carried Torres, Costa has injury problems, and he will be in no mood to have another crock recovery on the squad. If any of the better clubs were to take him, it would be Liverpool.
Falcao is clearly a nice bloke.
Admittedly he was pretty awful for us, but I don't see how any red can not love this guy. 
I'd be gutted if he went to Chelsea, I know he looked like a completely different player for us but it would be no surprise if he returned to his world class form from before the injury and scored enough goals to help them win the league. One of my best mates is a Chelsea fan and I don't think I'd hear the end of it considering my excitement at us bringing him in on loan, still can't believe it went tits up.
Milan could do worse than take a punt of him.
Or bring in Benzema.
To see Falcao at Chelsea, would be a dream come true.
Torres prevented Chelsea winning the title while he was them and I'm sure that Falcao can do a similar job for Chelsea.
If we are to win the title in the next 2 years, we need all the help we can get and Falcao could be instrumental in degrading Chelsea.

I remember the excitement pre season, and the feeling at QPR willing him to come on and score.
Unfortunately it quickly dawned on us all that it wasn't working, especially not with 2 up front and Rooney behind. Would it have worked any better with Falcao as the lone front man? Probably not to be fair.
Thank goodness we didn't lash a huge transfer fee out.

I’m not sure it’d have worked at all to be honest, which is a real shame since he’s obviously an extremely talented player and could’ve potentially been superb at another time. Ah well.
You hadnt even been linked with him pre season, was during international break.
As for the excitement, I dont think ive ever known such a commotion on here.
Heres some from the eerly pages
I remember when he was out injured for th WC, I watched a video of his injury and then I ended it spending an hour or so watching all of his goals, simply because of the nature and quality of those goals.
"Born to score". Never before has a tag become more suited to a player. We have signed up a hell of a player.
I can not wait until our next match. feck, Radamel Falcao. I never thought we'd see him on our colours once he left Porto for Atletico.
Gaalacticos are up and running
Falcao, Di Maria, Blind, Herrera, Rojo, Shaw. A fantastic window. Once everyone is playing, we'll be rocking.
Genuine two-footed striker caps off a brilliant transfer window. Well done Woody.
Right let's go and show the rest who are the bosses!
Still can't believe we signed Radamel Falcao.
To be fair theres a few words of warning in there, I dont think even we got that mad when we signed Torres though, but we did get quite excited!Still can't believe we've signed Falcao.
Jesus were a lot of us (very well including myself) off the markYou hadnt even been linked with him pre season, was during international break.

.Oh well, better than being pessimistic about it I suppose!
Well yeah I can see why many were excited, I wanted him at Chelsea during his Atletico days, but I could see a massive difference at Monaco and since the injury which made me completely change my opinion.Jesus were a lot of us (very well including myself) off the mark
Oh well, better than being pessimistic about it I suppose!
Must not leave out Kid Moyes!
I was expecting the same.The injury did change him completely but IMHO he was already on the decline at Monaco before it.
Yeah I saw that, but his goal ratio was still decent.
What did it turn out as? DDG followed by Carrick?
Since the injury at Monaco? He only played a handful of games, and even then limited minutes.
Or did you notice something before his injury?
Monaco started the seaosn with up top alone but in the end the woeful Rivière managed to start him regularly and ended scoring often.
