Ed002 if you are about you heard anything of the Falcao to United? He does appear perfect for United in as much as he's not a Midfielder or defender.

{Ed002's Note - Last Wednesday in Monaco the club put a price on Falcao for a sale - with the expectation that Real Madrid (where he wishes to move to) would pay it. Their concern is that at his age the asking price is far too high. There were also discussions with Juventus and with Valencia. Since then there have been approaches made to the English clubs - Arsenal, Chelsea, Manchester United and Manchester City. The situation as I understand it this morning is that:
- Chelsea saw him as too expensive at his age and went for Remy as their first choice is not available.
- Arsenal considered his age, his price, the possibility of a loan price and his wages and whilst they would like the player, seem to be trying to tie up the permanent transfer of Carlos Bacca instead (they will need to up the offer they made - but they might be doing that with others today as well).
- Manchester City would not be interested in buying him at the offered price but would consider a loan to buy - but there is a major concern over his knee and they want a clause which will drastically reduce his wages and the loan fee should it turn out to be a problem.
- Manchester United are interested but again the price and wages are an issue. On Wednesday Manchester United used a third party in discussions and I understand that third party was again involved last night min trying to broker a deal that might be acceptable. If the club want a deal done they will likely need to concede most of the financial negotiations.}

Should we do the whole squad number conspiracy theory thing again. Falcao, Monaco #9. We seem to have a vacant #9 slot.

Too expensive for United. I'd prefer Huntelaar or Benteke and spend the extra on a CM and a CB!

Great buy if we get him will tear up the league

Season-long loan deal with option to buy I think.

It's done! Only a loan move but a fair coup for United in my eyes!

Some reports refer to loan move with £12 million fee and £200k per week, with an option for a permanent move. Others refer to 65m Euro 4 year deal with salary higher than Rooney!

You pays your money and takes your choice! Just so long as we get him!

Without doubt the best transfer window ever!

Sky reporting just £5m-£6m loan fee.
