Well, United to sign one of the best, if not the best, strikers in the world. Congrats.

Kinda weird though, after LVG's comments on the unbalanced squad..

Surely we're not letting Negredo go without someone coming in. Surely not.

Are we gonna rat out a tasty signing?!

I think Di Maria was one of, if not the, best midfielder last season and, for me, a fully-fit Falcao is the best no. 9 around. You've still been dire so far this season and even your manager says it will be months for the players to properly attune to the system (whatever it's suppose to be).

Falcao suffered a major injury last year and, even when he was fit, was poor when Monaco weren't playing well last year. He didn't raise the level of people around when things were difficult, as people sometimes attribute to big signings. He looked bored and annoyed that people weren't on his wavelength. They improved when he got injured and James become the main man.

They're both good buys, especially if the Falcao deal is a loan (the chance of Champions League football and what that mean to the sponsors would outweigh his wages/loan fee). I just think this idea that Champions League football is now guaranteed is a tad premature.

Why would anyone believe that he was? lol. He, his father and his manager said several times that while interest is huge, he won't be going anywhere until he's done with his mandatory school stuff next summer. He's also highly enjoying actually playing at a professional competitive level, even if it's not that high quality, it's still pretty damn developing for a player his age.

I dreamed of ShinJi-Sung Park duo when Shinji first came. Park was sold.

I hope you complete your ShinJi-Dong Wong duo.

Arsenal very unlikely to sign anyone before deadline. Barring late surprise & a couple of squad exits, #AFC business is done #bbcdeadlineday

If our business is really done then Man City in 2 weeks is the last league game I go to this season. Just going to go to cup games. :/

no more signings, unsurprising

Wenger doesn't have it in him to spend money on any player that isn't attacking midfielder-y

Biabiany? Meh. I feel bad for Taarabt, he waited all summer for us only to lose out to Biabiany.

Anyway, at least Milan will be a super fast team in FIFA this year, between El Sha, Niang, Biabiany, Menez, Armero, and Abate. Dem counter attacks.

But it's usually an indication of me doing something right!

Like God is amused and he's clapping for me

Which is funny because i don't even believe in him


Maybe I should
