Both? Great striker and ours are a bit pants right now, but we probably should used the money on a midfielder.

Just when I was beginning to get excited it gets the kiss of death. Well, thats that one done folks. Who next?Thanks
Sky Italia now saying the same about Falcao to United.
Still hoping we are going for De Jong on the cheap. May need to use the money on another CN if we can't solve this Rojo issue.
Yes we removed him from the banned list. Tancredi is cool now.
At an airport now. Is this Falcao stuff real?
I still think the Falcao stories are BS!
There were some reports earlier in France and Spain, but now very strong reports coming out of almost every colombian Journalist with specific details.
Dunno, what is up though yet.
That's the spirit!
Interseting. I'm guessing RvP's fitness was a factor here.
Trending worldwide on Twatter. Mainly because a "friend of his" Columbian sports journo who has him on FB broke the story. Loads more following suit now.
this is crazy...
No one can claim we have no ambition now!
Vidal and falcao coming on the same day. You heard it here first.
Can we have one of those messages on the homepage if there's some big news in the next few hours
Just read exactly the same on Twitter
Going to sleep. Will probably be up in 6 hours anyway.
BELIEVE.
BELIEVE.
I would love it if we signed Falco!!!! This will give time for RVP to rest and heal!!!!!

Mexico NT manager confirming cheech to Real.
Falcao on loan makes sense with van Persie maybe missing a fair amount of time. Top centre froward, and should play there ahead of Rooney in a 4-3-3 or 4-2-3-1. Still think the whole story is a bit of Mendez wanting generate interest in his client on deadline day.
The reports are saying that we are buying Falcao outright for 65 million euros.
didnt he say he needs to play more? oh well...
Either a load of South American tabloids are looking for their last website hits of the transfer window or United/Falcao's agent are just being naughty and trying to bump the price up for City.
There is just no way we're going to spend €50+ million on a 28/33 year old striker.

Surely both Welbeck and Chicharito are off if we do sign Falcao?
I find that crazy. He's a top centre forward don't get me wrong, but €65m for him when you're well stocked for centre forwards.
The theory that's keeping me sane atm is that Van Persie needs knee surgery and will therefore be out for a few months.
It's mental. I could have full well understood Chelsea or Arsenal going for him. But us doing it seems a bit weird. We must have shit loads of cash to burn.
How good actually are our strikers?
Serious question. What chance do you give all three of them of scoring 20 goals this season, or even as many as Sturridge?
This time next year we'll be saying again "Our strikers our great", but I'm not so sure myself. Personally, I wouldn't go for Falcao at his age and price, but I can understand going for a top bracket striker.
I'd have pressed for Lewandowski instead of van Persie a few years ago. I don't really see many other options right now though. Cavani can't really beat as man, and doesn't make runs like Lewandowski or Falcao. He'd be too static to improve us.
But I'm possibly alone here in not thinking our strikers are all that great any more.

Never underestimate the power of the sponsor.....
Well stocked?!
As in who now?! A supposed crocked RVP. A Wayne Rooney who has the touch of a giraffe on acid these days and Danny "I can't score innit" Welbeck....Well stocked alright
In which case a loan - albeit an expensive one - would make some sense. But spending that much on a 29 year old striker considering the options already at the club would be ridiculous.
When you say it like that, it actually makes a lot of sense. Even more so if Welbeck is off!
It's possible that the fact that we can outright buy him is what makes us a more attractive destination than City at this point.
We need a new striker if we are shipping off Welbeck and Hernandez. I think the RVP knees rumor is true If we sign Falcao
Well, well, well! I thought he was a shoe in for Real Madrid. What the hell is going on? I call bullshit
How reliable is the Columbian press (vis-a-vis the Chilean press)?
Throw in Hummels and I think I will have a heart attack.
Van Persie's knee might be fecked, while Rooney usually picks up an injury or two and has a form slump, so I'm seeing sense in this.
Real would be fecked if Benzema picked up an injury & expect Hernandez to fit into his role
Impact sub at best for Real, but swapping a bench for a bench is plain wrong, bad career move!
Hernandez wouldn't be a starter, but he'd be higher up the pecking order there than he is here. I could see him playing quite a bit actually.
Plus it's a loan move.
