He looks like a competition winner, everbody is playing at such a level that all you can do is fall on your arse and watch as the ball goes in the net.
... Haha?
Count me as another person who sees no point to even having him on the bench now. We're clearly not going tO have him next year so what's the point? These cameos make far more sense to give to Wilson.
it really says something when his best contribution is when he doesn't actually touch the ball. Doesn't he feel guilty at all for pocketing 250k a week or whatever it is For doing sweet F-all.
The most annoying thing is we've got Wilson not even getting a sniff of gametime. We are completely wasting those minutes on falcao a player that's not even going to be here and has no future at United. These 15 mins would be better suited to help Wilsons development.
Wilson or Januzaj should be getting on ahead of Falcao. It's not clear what LvG sees in him.
Regardless of the money he's on, I have sympathy for him in the sense that he's being asked to fight for a lost cause by proving himself with cameos in matches that are effectively over. If LVG keeps using him this way, it's not going to get better for either party and I agree with those who say it's Wilson who should be getting what small amount of time Falcao is being given for the rest of the season.
Maybe I'm harsh, but I'd rather we don't bring him on at all. If anyone is going to get these cameos, I'd rather it be Wilson.
I agree, 100%
Strange decision to bring him on. Like the guy but that doesn't make any difference. Wilson would benefit much more from it.
At least now we're playing decent football to brush over LVG's weird choices.
Would rather see Wilson or Januzaj given the gametime.
Wilson is injuredWhy do we still play him? He come on and all I saw him do was lose possession on his first touch, then absolutely whiff a volley, and then slip and fall with nobody near him. Was a good punt at the start of the season, now it is just a joke. His agent can say all he wants but he has not shown anything to be playing at a top side any more. We need to be giving time to players like Wilson to get them some more experience.
Yeah... But why doesn't Wilson play ahead of Falcao?Wilson is injured
There probably is an argument that an injured Wilson might be better than Falcao in fairnessYeah... But why doesn't Wilson play ahead of Falcao?
Time will tell but there's nothing I've seen to suggest were are not. We paid 60m ADM and accept its gonna take him a season without the Falcao baggage. That kind of injury is a long recovery and rehab. Given when he was injured, rehab and no pre-season, and given he's hardly consistently had a run of games, when realistically did we expect to see a fully fit and firing player, this season....really!!!!I, too, can't help but think that we're going to make it permanent. He's been off the boil since he got injured back in October/November, where he wasn't as bad, yet we've continued to give him game time, which makes me think that we're thinking about getting him for a significantly reduced price.
Basically this. Its sad to see.He looks like a competition winner, everbody is playing at such a level that all you can do is fall on your arse and watch as the ball goes in the net.
Buying him for 45m or whatever the fee is makes even less sense ater the season he has had.I tell you what, let's pay 6m in wages, handle sensitively his rehab and then at the end of the season, he'll be ready for his new club. That makes perfect sense.
Januzaj then.Wilson is injured
I'm not sure it will be 45m. I'm just not sure what we expected from the loan deal. I'm not saying he's been great cause clearly he hasn't but like I said, must be 9 months plus for that injury and rehab and no pre-season. Even then, you'd need to be playing regularly to get match fitness wouldn't you? That aside from getting to grips with the new league, manager, team, country........I'm no Falcao fan, just sometimes things take longer than we think and takes time. Most recently, Felliani, Young, Mata and even DDG show a little patience can go a long way....Buying him for 45m or whatever the fee is makes even less sense ater the season he has had.
No need to compound one mistake by making another one.
I felt sorry for him for Anders second. He was wide open. I could hear him thinking:
"Yes! To me! Please, to me! Pass it! I'm open! I'm in the clear! Quick look I'm through pass to me for God sake man. Come on, oh for god sake I'm not in any more you're too late. Oh you've passed it to Ander, great. Oh that's a great finish, no that's fair enough actually I can't really complain about that. Good goal. feck my life."
Exactly what I'm thinking. Surely we didn't think that he'd start scoring game in game out, when we bought him last summer. We'd have had an idea of the extent of the injury he suffered, and that it may take him a while to rediscover his form whilst fully recovering from the terrible injury. Besides, there's no way we'd be paying anywhere near 45 million, more like 15-20 as most other teams won't be willing to take the risk based on what they've seen; whereas, we maybe witnessing a much different Falcao in training, from which we may make our decision. I also don't think we're going to buy another young striker, such as Dybala or Lacazette, given we already have Wilson.Time will tell but there's nothing I've seen to suggest were are not.

He seems like a bloody, thoroughly nice bloke and smiles when we score...?Falcao did his rehabilitation at Monaco. I saw him play for them against Arsenal pre-season and he started some of their early league games before we signed him. If his problems were fitness related then you'd expect him to have improved throughout the season, he just got worse and worse.
Given his massive wages and reputation I suppose United thought they were getting a top centre forward but he has looked anything but. Personally I cannot think of a single reason why we would buy him permanently.
Haha - you must've felt like a smug hero doing that.Wilson is injured
Such as?Showed some terrible skills that belong far down the league system.
That last kick close to the line that just went off to nowhere. A top player should not produce that sort of touch.Such as?
So you are saying that we should hire players based on their celebrations after our team scores a goal? Surely you cant be serious?one brownie point I will give him is he genuinely seems delighted when someone else scores,
Class post. Probably far closer to the truth than we would like it to be.I felt sorry for him for Anders second. He was wide open. I could hear him thinking:
"Yes! To me! Please, to me! Pass it! I'm open! I'm in the clear! Quick look I'm through pass to me for God sake man. Come on, oh for god sake I'm not in any more you're too late. Oh you've passed it to Ander, great. Oh that's a great finish, no that's fair enough actually I can't really complain about that. Good goal. feck my life."
good of you to half quote me, I never said sign falcao. its an observation of the chemistry of the players on the pitch, and the current lineup are buzzing around each other. (without falcao)So you are saying that we should hire players based on their celebrations after our team scores a goal? Surely you cant be serious?
Perhaps I should play for Man Utd. I'll play for less money; I wont score; but I will celebrate even more enthusiastically than Falcao.
Ronaldo (who scored 5 goals in 1 game over the weekend and whose goal tally in that 1 game, exceed Falcao's goal tally for his whole season) only seems to care if he scores a goal - I'd much rather have him in our team than Falcao.
We need to get rid of passengers, not commend them.
He seems like a bloody, thoroughly nice bloke and smiles when we score...?
That alone is worth 40m. And that touch against sunderland.He seems like a bloody, thoroughly nice bloke and smiles when we score...?
Given how he always looks injured every game he played that's probably a fair assessment.There probably is an argument that an injured Wilson might be better than Falcao in fairness
So do I.He seems like a bloody, thoroughly nice bloke and smiles when we score...?
Do you 'clearly love the club'?So do I.
I'm actually a spy from Bluemoon.Good work Sherlock.Do you 'clearly love the club'?
And are you 'desperate to make it work'?
Imagine if Old Falcao suddenly showed up and tore Citeh a new arsehole. The Caf would implode.Just checked his stats at the top of the page and to be honest I'm surprised he's managed to score as many as 4. I was thinking it was maybe 1 or 2. That is how desperately poor he's been.
All set up for a last minute Derby winner from him though isn't it?
Cant forget that touch.That alone is worth 40m. And that touch against sunderland.
Haha, just happy this is not a serious postLooked quite sharp in that new puma ad. Start him on saturday I'd say. He scored twice against Kun.
Value.£4,000,000 a goal at the moment isn't it?
That touch against Sunderland is the equivalent of 10 goals and a baby goat.£4,000,000 a goal at the moment isn't it?
Wait til we sign Messi!I'm starting to think we're cursed signing South Americans
Forlan
Kleberson
Veron
Falcao
Anderson
Heinze (debatably a success until he tried to move to Pool )
AdM is struggling.
In fact, Possebon/Rafael/Fabio were cheap (youth) punts, so Valencia is the only "big" success (and he was EPL proven) signing I can think of. Unless I'm missing any?

Heinze was very good to be fair - the fact that he left under a cloud doesn't really change his good performances for us.I'm starting to think we're cursed signing South Americans
