Seriously? They just let Welbeck and Chicarito go, in this Transfer Window.

And if the Rumors concerning RVP's Knee Operation is True, they'd be left with 1 Senior Striker.

Man U Fans better pray that Rooney doesn't get Injured.

I think he will turn out to be a great signing for Arsenal in time, would wish him nothing but the best for the future.

In all the madness of today and ridiculous fees, it's a nice footnote that Kranjcar took a 66% wage cut to join QPR. Of course he's still getting decently paid but good to know it's not always about earning more and more.

rumours that john Guidetti has asked to have is contract cancelled with man city as its in its last year to sign for celtic on a free. subject to approval

Di Maria, Mata, Rooney, RVP and Falcao, that is seriously impressive.

Corholio

Falcao plays best when he's the 1 up front so it's gonna be interesting to see how they work him in.

NOT A STRIKER.

IF you include Sanchez then Liverpool can include Sterling and Utd Di Maria. etc

Yeah funny to leave out possibly one of the best signings of the season!

Here's a question - why did Falcao end up at a side not playing Champions League football?

Once it became obvious Monaco were looking to take him off the wage bill at the very least, Real Madrid looked like the most obvious (and nuts) destination followed by PSG (if they shifted a couple). Then Liverpool made enquiries and were rebuffed by the player (though I really doubt LFC would make a rod for their backs with his 350k a week loan), and City entered the fray. Negredo is sold and then he pops up at Utd a team not playing CL football and certainly not guaranteed to be doing so next season.

So why did Real pass and get Utd loanee Hernandez instead, why did City not get fully involved (and why did they sell Negredo so leaving themselves short?)?

Maybe the player wanted to go to United and, despite other clubs going for him, he declined?

I imagine the main reason is because the majority of clubs cannot afford his wages.

Realistically in England, only City could have offered what United did.

You missed then? or was it a fake?

I think he actually had nowhere else to go - like Di Maria who was left high and dry by Real Madrid - the logic of that move also mystifies as moving him out should have been to make room for Falcao.

MagicIRL

I heard that was faked, but who really knows what goes on in the transfer world?

According to Balague (i know i know) Madrid never wanted him and it was all Falcao and his agent trying to get a move there. Madrid always wanted a back up striker. Also i would assume alot of players noses would have been out of joint at those wages!

Same reason Chelsea sold United Mata, they wanted rid at a high price and only united could meet that fee. They are all great signings for them definitely and have me worried again but circumstances made those players a lot easier to attract. If City or Real wanted Falcao seriously they would have got him same if PSG wanted Di Maria.

He played in a 433 at porto with hulk and varela and a 4231 up front on his own at atleti, hes never played with with a strike partner in his two most fruitful spells at clubs, although i assume united will bin that 352 soon enough

You're wrong there.

Wenger has publicly said he signed him as a striker. And in four starts this season, he's started up top on his own twice.
