Deal died last week - he's staying where he is.

Well the 6 million fee does seem to be correct as quite a few outlets are starting to pick it up. Pretty decent fee it has to be said.
Not sure how Van Ego is planning on playing RVP, Wazza and Falcao especially as they have no Europe this year. One of them is going to inevitably throw a strop at the lack of game time.
If Welbeck ends up coming here as a cast off then death and mayhem is all I see in the future.
A £12 Million loan fee is nothing for Falcao, it was ok for us to offer Arshavin to Zenit on Loan and I think Zenit paid a loan fee for something like 4 or 5 mill for a shit player. I just dont know what goes on in Wengers head, if you look back at the Ozil signing, that was a panic buy as all pre season we were looking at Suarez and Higuain and then ended up with as left winger?? Then pre season again the focus was a striker and then we sign another expensive winger? Can someone please explain his transfer stratedgy coz I just dont get it at all. We needed a striker prior to Girouds injury and now we need two let a lone one. And why does he always leave the business till the last minute when a deal can fall through over a mill or two. Its pure fucking madness on wengers part.
Go to man Ure and bid 15 mill for RVP, I will take him back and all is forgiven.
Well reading up more on it (*cough* twitter *cough*), it does seem like Falcao decided to choose Utd over us. I suspect as Utd were the only club desperate enough to equal whatever ridiculous astronomical tax free salary he's getting at Monaco.
I genuinely can't believe as things stand right now he would choose Man Utd over us for footballing reasons. No CL football, no Fergie factor and he would be the main striker here. Another mercenary.
Fuck him.
Anyone else getting the impression we are just dropping opportunistic bids here and there and hoping a club just eventually accepts. It seems we have been after a number of players other the past few weeks, especially back up CB's and the mentioned players have gone elsewhere due to us dithering/haggling or both. That greek lad went to Roma, the young french guy appears Roma bound too.
