Not that it matters. He'll be gone at the end of the year and we'll have lost nothing of value. Only way he'll stay is if Monaco do us some cut price deal.
 
All that hype for Falcao when he was announced.

...hate me...
Strikers are some of the easiest players to fall from grace when switching clubs.

Torres
Sheva
Falaco

Who else footy gaf?

If I had to choose 1 out of those 3 in their prime, I would take Torres. He was an absolute beast for Liverpool.
It's a hard choice but nostalgia would put Falcao over the edge for me. He killed it while playing for us, and tbh especially for Atlético. Perfect hat-tricks in finals like it was nothing.

I just cant believe how bad his shooting is, thats the shocker, its terrible for a player of his ilk

i think it's a little too early to see if falcao won't return to form seeing how he spent almost 7 months without playing a single full match
however, he should try and lower his wages because Man U would be really dumb to keep paying him that much for a player that hasn't lived up to the legend.

All our strikers have sucked this season.

Rooney should be playing up front instead.

Maybe try:

------------- Valdes (De Gea ;_; ) -------------

Rafa ------ Jones ----- Rojo ------- Shaw

------ Fellaini --- Carrick --- Herrera ----

------------ Mata ----- Di Maria -----

---------------- Rooney ---------

Killer, pls.

Out
Young, Valencia, Anderson, Fletcher, Smalling and Evans.

In
Depay, Wilson, McNair, New CB, New RB, Backup LB.

At first I wondered why the fuck he felt the need to say that our if he was asked a direct question that was just written like that. But he was speaking to some American paper, and it's not exactly unusual in the nfl.


The more interesting quote was this lol

"Our manager, for some reason, decided a few months ago to say that the fans were quiet at moments."

Doesn't sound happy about that Mou comment

Bit late, mate. I just don't get to post as much as everyone else does, at least not at the same times because I'm in the US for the time being. Still, I'm from Munich and support mainly Bayern and obviously the national team.
