Great player, when fit, but Manure need defenders and central midfielders...not strikers and wingers

He's obviously just going there for the money, agree with Santa, another forward is not what they need, they're just trying to sell more shirts

United have pressed the panic button big time and are buying up every big name on the market, no matter what the cost.
Don't get me wrong they'll have an phenominal side on paper but if for some reason they don't all gel the pressure on that club will be unbelievable.
You'd imagine that any side containing the likes of Falcao and DiMaria is going to have way too much for most sides in the division though.

correction, phenominal 'forward side on paper', it looks like they are going to just try and out score any opposition

It would, if it had a steely midfield to cover for them. But Maure don't.

Di Maria didn't make a single tackle against Burnley...

When they get everyone back they won't be that bad defensively, the likes of Shaw, Blind, Raphael etc are half decent players. I don't think this formation is doing them any favours either.
it's not like they are p1$$ing goals at the back, even with a scratch defence they are conceding at an average of just over 1 goal a game, if anything it's been their misfiring forwards who have been letting them down. I suspect that might be about to change though.
Has Falcao played any football since his injury? Does anyone know?

He has scored 2 in 3 games in the french League for Monaco, one against Nantes and one against Loreint

Scum making enquires on Southampton midfielder Morgan Schneiderlin.

Haha just messin' with you red...saw SG's Instagram photo.

I know this has been debated, but with the season just starte and all the signings in place. £75M true and well spent...do you think it's good business for us? meh? or that we have a raw deal by selling Luis?

They are buying up everyone with their financial reserves. This is their last dice thrown in an attempt to get back to CL...if LVG truly fucked up, then it'll be a financial disaster for them and I don't see a quick return to the elite for them anytime soon. I wished them worst of luck. Mata, di Maria and Falcao will blow up at their face big time

Ta mate, I know the French league isn't the prem but even so that looks a bit ominous.
I hope they don't get Schneiderlin as well, he would be a good player for them.
So much for LVG being a genius, he's spending his way out of trouble, not much skill in that.

Southampton went out of their way to block a move for Schneiderlin a few weeks back, cannot see why they would let him go now.

Falcao supposedly had his heart set on a move to Madrid too, now United have got the option to buy him at the end of the season, things change in footy.

Valdes would be a very god buy. Would walk straight into that starting 11 after he gets fit imo... If the wages are right, I dont see why we wouldnt. Obviously, his injury is the only reason he hasnt been picked up yet but I can see a few clubs eying him if we dont get it orted out sooner rather than later. Outside that, I dont think we'll see anyone else come in which is fine by me. Manquillo has done well in his last game and with Johnson sticking around its hard o see us signing someone else who plays the same position.

On Falcao, whether he proves a good buy or not will depend largely on LVG and the system he decides on moving forward. IMO, the main reason they are struggling atm is the system he has them playing so I find it a bit baffling that ppl are still branding him a 'tactical genius' with him getting it wrong in every game they have played so far. I think Falcao coming in will most likely see Rooney move to a deeper position with them changing their formation to one that is not too dissimilar to ours:

                   De Gea
Rafael     Jones     Rojo     Shaw
                      Blind
            Herrera     Di Maria
                    Rooney
              Falcao     V.Persie

that's a bloody good team on paper. and i fear that if van gaal manages to get them clicking, and with only the premiership and FA cup to worry about, they'll be strong contenders again for the CL places. we're going to have to keep our shít together.
