Surely it's "realistic"?Oh well, better than being pessimistic about it I suppose!

It was always a gamble but on the other hand, I don't see why we shouldn't have tried it at that time. I think most of us thought he would do well and rightly so. There is never a guaranteeJesus were a lot of us (very well including myself) off the mark .

Never any direct quotes. Never pitched a fit like TevezDon't understand the Falcao being a gentleman thing. It was constantly in the paper him being upset about not playing, or his agent, or family.
I was never convinced that either of them [Di Maria and Falcao] would be great in the EPL. My own theory is that a player must prove himself in the EPL before he can be considered to have guaranteed success, when joining another EPL club.I remember feeling similarly elated when we signed Veron too, there's definitely a pattern here.................
Without a 20 goal per season striker, I just can't see us winning the league, so we absolutely need a top class striker.In the paper today saying LVG is searching for a world class striker. Lets hope he finds someone I've never heard of ;-)
Kane won't score 20 next season anyway.Apart from Kane, I can't think of anybody else who fits the bill.
He regressed badly during the season, he looked a lot sharper vs QPR, Leicester, Everton than he did for all remaining games.
Costa will miss a fair few games, he can't stay fit. Not really bothered though, Falcao is finished as a top striker.Sounds like Jose signing but would he really get a game ahead of Costa? I think it'll be another season on the bench taking over from Drogba.
If he was our only signing in an attacking position I'd be very worried. I highly doubt that'll be the case, though, so I'm not too concerned.Although the meltdown on here if he scored loads for us would be hilarious, its not going to happen and could cost us the title with his wages.
Most don't lose Their ability to stand either but somehow he did.Falcao going to Chelsea will be bad news. You don't need a pacey striker at Chelsea, you need someone who is clinical. Falcao did miss the chances he had at United, but they were hardly falling from the heavens. Constant chances put on his plate at Chelsea and I reckon he'll be firing them in. Most retired strikers say you don't ever lose your ability to finish.
id be inclined to agree with this. I doubt Chelsea would ask him to do most of his work 40 yards from goalFalcao going to Chelsea will be bad news.

Torres and Owen suggest you do.Most retired strikers say you don't ever lose your ability to finish.
this is most likely the case, and I hope it actually is.Do people honestly think he's going to return to form?
Or is it naturally cynical people who always fear the worst who are saying it?
Dunno about rest and why they say what they said but i believe he would do better next season (if he stayed with us). In general,believe he gonna improve next season,some teams and their play style might gonna suit him more or less. Now,am i worried about him scoring tones of goals for some other team? Not really,from our point of view,we (or more accurate,OT crowd) gave him 100% support,some could say that he did not deserved it with his performances but thats bs for me.Do people honestly think he's going to return to form?

Kind of a cock move from him but hey he is looking after himself. We rehabilitated him for a year, lined his pockets heavily and treated him like a hero when he wasnt performing like one. And he goes and signs for our biggest challengers...
I know it hasnt happened yet, im hurt in advance.
Good post.I think there's plenty of people who wouldn't be surprised if he returned to form next season and started banging in the goals. Of course he didn't look the same player for us and in no way justified us spending out so much in wages and a fee to make the deal permanent but I have a bad feeling we will regret it if he does sign for Chelsea.
It's such a shame it didn't work out for him here it really is but never mind, he's a good guy so wish him well but it's sure not going to be very fun seeing this thread bumped if he does sign for a rival and start finding the net regularly again. Fair enough if he wants to prove himself in the Premier League but I hope he moves to a league abroad so any goals he scores don't affect our title hopes.

I think Costa will stay fit next season. A summer of rest will do him good. Hopefully he will pick up some suspension though... he deserves them.Costa will miss a fair few games, he can't stay fit. Not really bothered though, Falcao is finished as a top striker.
I don't think he'll go to Chelsea. I think what is currently happening is Mendes' is using his Mourinho links to show confidence in his player and it shows Falcao's confidence in himself that he's considering a Premier League move.He'd be brave/silly to have another go in the PL.
Presumably he'll still be on big wages so would be silly from Chelsea too. Better for everyone if he goes to Italy.
If this rumour is true it seems Mourinho is helping out his stable-mate at the expense of Chelsea. I can't personally see any footballing reason after the season he's had at United.I'll be pretty pissed off if we get this guy, even on loan.
