The article also says that he wanted Madrid but doesn't state that anywhere except a paragraph about how the negotiations went.

6m for one of the best strikers in the world is not massive.
--------------------------------------------------------------
6m + 280,000 pw is a massive though.
-----------------------
We aren't paying 280k per week though. Moncao are paying half of his wages, we are paying the other half. Which is still 190k to be fair.
But he isn't costing us any more than if we had bought him. In fact, he is costing us less over the year than he would have if we'd bought him.

And £42m + £200k P/W for 5 years isn't massive for Ozil?
That equates to £94m by the way....

I'm going to say that Falcao's dad is lying.

Its good that Liverpool and Arsenal fans are concerned about the financial welfare of Man Utd.
At least the ability and competence of the striker himself is never called into question. i think some people are getting hot under the collar.

It would appear that some wish to use the fact that Falcao cost a lot of money as a means to criticise.
When his record and ability are taken into consideration IMO Falcao is a great signing that any club in the world would jump at had they the resource to do so.
Will be great to see him in the PL (except when he plays us).

£30m over 5 seasons, I'd argue it's cheap.

Who cares. What will matter is who is at the top of the table come May and who is in positions 2, 3 and 4.
Quite frankly if we aren't in the CL Falcao will probably reject the permanent offer.
Let's wait until May before we take or nobs out.

Paying well over the odds and then losing your identity

Oh boohoo we've lost our identity. What is that exactly? Field youngsters that aren't good enough rather than sign world class players? If that is our so-called identity then I'm glad to be rid of it.
LVG will steady the ship with proven quality and then bring through youngsters who he thinks are good enough.

To be fair, up until very recently, United fans almost to a man bragged about the club's record with youngsters and sneered at City & Chelsea for blowing wads on established players.

i for one have always maintained that our record of developing youngsters is a myth and, on examination, it is actually quite poor.
Unless you have interviewed around 600m United fans then you can't really comment on what they all "to a man" have said.
