    Falcao available on loan...

    Although just to give a measure on how much he earns at Monaco, it would cost 20m to have him for one year.

    Signing Wellbeck would quite possibly be the worst addition I've seen at the club, when balancing fee for quality.

    He is fucking awful. NOT the quality we should be looking to acquire, if we are serious about mounting any kind of challenge for honours this year.

    If we're looking for a cheap stop-gap option, I'd buy Henry back and stick him up top. More than capable of holding the ball up, and has the kind of vision required in that role.
    It's better to burn out, than to fade away.

    I don't think Man U would sell Welbeck to us in case it comes back on them. Imagine a local lad from their academy winning us the league?? (we can dream) Nah they'd never allow that to happen. I don't think they regard him as Silvestre level of shit. So I can't see that one happening. Take a look at Redcafe and see how much most of their fans want to keep him.

    Falcao loan for £20m per season, nah not in a million years.

    I could see Cavani wanting to join us but fee and wages would make it an astronomical deal and we're not at that level financially. There's our level and then there's the oil clubs plus Barca and Madrid.

    I think our best bet is to improve the defensive side of our midfield and accept that we'll score less goals, maybe get someone like Remy as well on the cheap if Giroud is out long term. We've always got a goal in us with our midfield, even with Sanogo up front. Trouble is we always look likely to concede as well without a defensively minded midfielder.

    To be fair he's never had a decent chance up front with Rooney and RVP ahead of him. He could turn out to be very decent. Reminds me of Sturridge stuck at Chelsea.

    That 20m does (allegedly) include both loan fee and wages, so it's probably not actually too far off what his value would be for a year?

    Puma can pay for it anyway - that's what they're there for...

    Why does Monaco want to loan out Falcao?

    Latest Twitter logic:

    Di Maria > Man U = Falcao > Madrid = Benzema > PSG = Cavani > Us

    Who can argue with reasoning like that? I'm going to order my Cavani shirt now - get ahead of the queues...

    Of course, if we weren't so stubborn in sticking to having a big man up top and playing hop-scotch around him, we could utilise the pace and directness we have in the team, and start using their strengths.

    Everton showed perfectly what we should be doing with our collection of infinitely more talented players. Stretch the play, get width, and pass the ball forward. Quite why we played the same way with Sanchez up top, as we would with a big man. Fucking idiotic.

    If we changed our style to something more effective, we wouldn't have to spend big, or rely on players who aren't up to it.

    Who knows? Maybe their sugar daddy has suddenly lost a ton of cash, or had his assets frozen? Maybe it's this new 75% tax rate in France (although I'm not sure how much that affects Monaco as a principality? I know the FFF were threatening to expel them from the league unless they relocated their head office to France, but I think Monaco bought them off that got resolved)? Or maybe the player is just sick of playing in front of 5000 fans every week, and is agitating for a move? I would guess it's something financial though, seeings how they've also sold Rodriguez after just one year too...
