Because RvP + Rooney up front just isn't good enough? :eek:

RvP + Rooney + Falcao is obviously better than RvP + Rooney + Welbeck + Hernandez (especially as they have just the league and FA cup left) but Falcao's cost is ridiculous.

Especially when Chicharito is already confirmed at Real now, and Welbeck is having medicals elsewhere.

for a one off cost of clearing out some of the chaff, for a single season (currently at least) its a good move. If he doesn't play enough games Im sure that cost will come right down too
 
If only united could sign a world class CM/DM and some right sided wingers we would actually be starting to make a pretty good first 11 again.

Falcao and Di Maria are utterly wasted with our ridiculously poor start up from defence/midfield.

Hmm, Sturridge always looked quality to me, he just never got much of a chance at Chelsea which is always the case with young strikers there.

To be fair, the main reason he didn't get a good chance at Chelsea was a fella named Fernando Torres. At that point there was still a (mistaken) belief that he would "come good" and justify his excessive transfer fee.

A mistake to be sure.

I actually think Welbeck could become a half decent striker at the right club. He's never going to be world class but there are far worse strikers than him. Sonogo being one.

I doubt he would get 20 goals a season at the top Championship club.

He works hard, other than that, meh.

Be interesting to see how he does alongside a "big" striker at Man U. He went off the boil when Costa came good at Atletico and obviously his knee issue.

He went off the boil? by scoring more than the previous season, 28 vs 24 in the league, because Costa came in and got 10 goals. Then Falcao left and Costa got 27 goals in his second season at Atletico when Falcao wasn't there?

Falcao/Costa was a fantastic partnership. He was also fantastic in the season before that with Hulk alongside him.

Considering Monaco can continue to pay him legally, the chances are he's on the same as he was and Utd are paying the wages in one lump sum to Monaco as an upfront fee. Reporters always change their mind on how they report wages, sometimes they add it up, fairly sure they were doing that with Adebayor's move to City, it was some stupid £80million deal for Adebayor, which was the fee + 5 years of wages they randomly stated as the total cost when you'd usually just report the transfer fee.

It makes more sense to Utd to pay Monaco the money, monaco pay him the wages as usual... tax free wages. British press probably not realising that's the deal and guessing 180k a week means £340k before tax.

Considering Monaco's situation and being able to pay tax free, it would be pretty stupid to not take advantage of that. Makes absolutely no difference to Falcao or to Monaco, it only helps Utd and Monaco have no reason to make life difficult for Utd, in fact if his wages all but doubled they'd likely not take him on loan so it's good for Monaco to help them out(presuming they want to offload his wages which seems a possibility).
