Fake BBC story.

God bless Adidas !

12m loan deal for Falcao, I have no words!!

We have Mata, Di Maria and Falcao!!

[lazyitus]

Not to mention Herrera and Blind. Oh and RVP.

Saw somebody say that this is how a Madrid fan feels during the summer.

[lazyitus]

[lazyitus]

This feels epic. Imagine how I'll feel one day when we win a game! Crikey.

[RedTrident]

That's an amazing signing. You've spent some serious money this window.

Has Falcao recovered from his injury? Very jealous.

[anonymous-user]

Stan Collymore has christened us the Manacticos

[Challo]

Jesus.....Falco is an epic signing. Not sure its what we need but certainly shows the intent of LVG. I expect some more to come in and more to go out the door as well.

We certainly need to clear some of the deadwood in the squad as well.

[slimtater]

Perhaps letting Chico go to RM to make them feel better for missing out on Falcao!

[jcremonini]

Note to self: Next time a ManU fan accuses Chelsea or Citeh of trying to buy the title.......

Seriously though, don't you think LVG is missing the problem ? You can have all the best strikers in the world but if you cannot defend (either because of the system or the players), then your success is limited.

[SWoll]

Don't Madrid usually buy players who are at the very top of their game though rather than those that have either been out with long term injury (Falcao), can't get a game at their current club (Mata) or are highly valued based solely, as far as I can tell, on reputation rather than their actual performances (Di Maria)?

3/10, its all about the timing. Not sure you'll get the required bites today, we're all in shock/on cloud 9

And why not start the day with a headline grabber that shows our intent, thus making the finalisation of some other deals a little bit easier and less hyped? Not sure we can be accused of overlooking defence - Rio, Vidic and Evra out, Rojo, Blind and Shaw in.

[Alpinestars]

Unbelievable talent, as long as his cruciate is ok.

Dress it up as you want. ManU are a club in debt, maybe not as a company but the Glaziers are to buy it. Much rather have a chairman who can write off £1bn than ones which service it from Wonga.com. And their debt is alot harder to service now you have a limited revenue stream (no CL, mid table).

I suspect this summer is more of a sign of desperation from the Glaziers than LVG.
