If he doesn't reinjure the same knee, the 55 mil buyout clause automatically triggers next summer apparently...  So 65 mil deal.

I feel bad for Monaco fans a bit.  The price of season tickets trippled for this season and there's no clause for getting refunds.  

I'm not really happy about it because the club is Berbatov and a bunch of U23 starlets now.  Problem is that that this isn't the Portuguese league.  You're not guaranteed top 5 no matter what.  If the kids don't work out, you can easily end up middle of the pack.

EDIT: He also makes 14 mil net in wages. Is he the highest paid player in EPL now? That's 20 mil gross or 400k euros a week.

Monaco has to be the biggest clown club in Europe. Going straight back to 2nd division

You don't know the talent on Monaco.  They have a ton of talent...  just very young.  Moutinho, Toulalan, Berbatov, Martial, Ocampos, Carrasco, Kurzawa, Carvalho, etc. are all still there.  The issue is that it's like Porto, Benfica, Roma, etc. now.  They will be competitive, but not at the highest level. If clubs want to overpay, they will sell even if they don't have alternatives really...

Cant remember the source but Im pretty sure i saw that he was going to get 200k GBP (~253k Euro) per week

The funny thing about Falcao is this:
- Gets Porto to the CL and leaves
- Gets Atleti to the CL and leaves
- Monaco go to CL (he had little impact tbh) and leaves

Now Man U with no CL. Is he ever going to play CL?

Falcao is the Colombian Kevin Phillips basically.

Imagine if they can add Carvalho and a defender

They have more ambition than us

Please not now I am not in the mood

Chica will only have a press conference, no presentation. Perez shitting his pants at the reception he will get

From RedCafe :

"Man Utd have replaced RVP, before Arsenal have replaced RVP"

looool

1-2-2-6

1-2-2-6

How are they going to solve this horrible balance?

Why is Falcao going to United when he has LVG's pet and the captain ahead of him in the pecking order?

Also Falcao avoiding CL again

Who says Van Persie is his pet? Because he's Dutch doesn't mean he's undropable

i just woke up and bah gawd what just happened

falcao ??

Time to find a formation that can fit Rooney, RVP, Mata, Di Maria and Falcao altogether

We still need a CB though Rojo still seems to be bogged down by stupid work permits

And someone pls buy Fellaini from us

wtf. this aint true. we have far more important issues to address.

But it is lol.

Can't wait for this *bleep* to finally get exposed. He's going to flop so hard this season lol.

There's no hiding place this time around. He's playing for the biggest club in the World where all eyes will be on him.

Costa vs Falcao will finally be settled.

Averages 3 goals every 4 games for Porto, Atletico and Monaco.

Gonna get exposed doe.

falcao signing just means van persie is finished in the eyes of van gaal

It makes some sense. If RVP is injured for like 60% of the year they need another striker, but when the big games roll around and they're all fit it will be interesting to see who LVG drops.

going to United, loan.

I think 3-5-2 is the ideal fit with the players they have.With 4-3-3,either you have to play Rooney outwide or completely drop him.Either ways Mata would have to be dropped in both formations.
