£12M for a 1 season loan? Wow Woodward must be so bad at poker.

Man U have a lot of cash from their recent sponsorship deals but I don't think that a striker was where it should have been spent...

What a poor move by United. It's useless for them to get 1 more striker. They need a defense in general & a midfield general & they go and get Falcao instead to keep Rooney in the midfield. They really don't deserve to be in the CL with such mismanagement.

Did they actually go for a striker and kept that ridiculous excuse of a central midfield intact? Who the hell manages these guys?!

You have to admit though, this transfer window has been ridicolous for United. Di Maria, Falcao, Herrera and Blind.

With that attacking potential they simply have to step up their game and challenge for the title. The pressure on LvG is huge.

Yeah but as soon as their attackers lose the ball, the other team just has to run through that swiss cheese of a midfield & defense to score. I can't lie their attacking potential is scary but the rest of the squad is laughable compared to the attackers & attacking mid.

From a ManU thread in soccergaming forum, some are saying RVP might need surgery to his knee. And Balague said that Falcao will be bought and was only loaned to circumvent FFP. 40-45M Price.

Their attack is a joke aswell RvP is not himself anymore, injuries all the time and stuff, Rooney is well, ridiculous compared to the wage he gets.. Falcao has to prove he can get back to his scoring habits, PL is WAY different from French and Spanish league. Nah... They will even miss EL this year.. But Man U is a clear example like RM, that not the coach has an input who they have to get, but the prez and owners..

Even C. Ronaldo was complaining about Perez, that he wouldnt made the decisions, Perez made..

The names in the Manchester United attack impress, but more and more seems to be buying names rather than strengthening positions. In Ferguson's last season, buying RvP propelled them to the title, but for short term success it has almost unsettled United. Getting Kagawa would have been a great transfer if they kept 4-2-3-1, but with Van Persie they needed a place to fit Rooney. Since then their transfers have strengthened positions that are already strong, and they have to try and stretch everything simply to accommodate. If Rooney was played in Kagawa's position, why then does Juan Mata play now with both Rooney and Van Persie? Di Maria would also be a better transfer if they still played 4-2-3-1, but now van Gaal plays wingbacks. Now Falcao when they already have two supposed-to-be-world-class strikers.

It's remotely possible there is a strategy to all Manchester United's transfers. To be fair Di Maria put in a good defensive effort for Real Madrid when he played central midfield, so playing wingback for him is possible. I'll be impressed if Man United make all this work out.

Maybe they are planning to play 7-0-3:

Van Persie ---- Falcao
----------Rooney-------
---------------------------
-----------------------------
-----------------------------
--The rest of the team--
----------De Gea-----------

The money for Falcao is ridiculous, especially for. 1 year loan.

They need to build a team, starting from the back, you don't lose games if you don't let any goals in.

They already had a decent attack pre-Maria, they had to strengthen defence and central midfield. They did neither.

I think the club needs a technical or sporting director (a Sammer if you will) who has a bit of savvy. That guy Woodward doesn't appear to have a clue what's going on.

They've been without a midfield for years now.

Welbeck transferred to Arsenal. So 3 of their departed players had move on to CL clubs.
