I think it is unfair to judge Falcao on his first few games - he's only just match fit.
This is one of those articles that should wait til the end of the season. That said - Everton and Chelsea did very well to get Eto'o & Drogba
Add up Eto, Lambert and Drogba's wages then triple it and you will probably have Falcao's wages.
Ridiculous money for a loan player.

If Lambert starts playing and scoring then considering his price you'd have to say it was a good signing, unfortunately for him it seems he's way out of favour.
I don't think any of these deals can compete with the Diafra Sakho transfer.
Everton
Utd
Chelsea
Liverpool - Could be the best signing but as Lambert is not playing due to Balotelli he automatically comes last.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
At the moment, Sakho, Berahino and Pelle look to be some of the best buys this season
Didn't Berahino go through the WBA youth system? I may be wrong.
Good shout about Pelle and Sakho. Abel Hernandez looks decent as well.
I think you're right ^ My mistake - either way, he's made the step up so in many ways he's as good as a signing
Hernandez was about 12m wasn't he? That's quite a layout still for the smaller teams!
The weaker teams in the league are infinitely better than they were even 5 years ago, it's quite scary really.
I think Song at West Ham was a great bit of business by Big Sam.
He is the type of player we really need. I would love for us to make a cheeky bid.
I can;t go on the Arsenal board but saw an article on worst signing in the summer.
I have not seen any mention of Herrera anywhere. I think he has been average yet wads £34m.

Wow that is a lot, didn't realise it was that much! If he scores 15+ they'd probably have taken that. They won't be in trouble so fancy him to get a few

Aren't you one of the ones who are saying 'give Markovic time as he's new to the league' and yet you think it's fine to class a united player under 'worse signing' yet he's had the same amount of time to acclimatise.
Don't you think you are being a bit of a hypocrite
phil neville
No i don't think I am a hypocrite. Loads of people have been slagging off Markovic who only cost £20m. No one is mentioning a player who has been pulled off at half time for being so poor and he cost £34m. Big difference there
Re Herrera, I saw an article last week where people were calling him a better signing than Welbeck so far. Got to laugh.

Both are new to the Premiership and Herrera has the added pressure of playing for a massive club
Herrera has been fantastic for us - probably because we as United fans aren't used to seeing a decent CM... Bear in mind what we've had to put up with over the last 6 years or so and you'll understand some United fans going over the top.
They've been about as impactful as each other really with Welbeck actually doing what most of us knew he could - and sticking the ball in the net and creating chances.
Who did United sign for £34m ?

To be fair on Falcao and Markovic I can only base my judgement on them on the games they have played against Everton.
Falcao scored a crucial goal..........
Markovic failed to really test the Everton back line. Neither have set the PL on fire, one will probably go back after teh loan....the other will stay for another try or be loaned out to Sunderland and then told he wont get any playing time

Bringing up Borini again huh? You really do love him
I think if you guys put your club bias to one side (difficult I know) it has to be Eto'o so far and by some way, he's already scored 4 goals and 3 of them have been crucial! Drogba may do well this season but it only started on Sunday.....

You mentioned Borini
Eto'o looks to have been a cracking signing.

Listing our two clubs strikers in order of (my) preference:
1.Sturridge
2.Lukaku
3.Eto'o
4.Koné
5.Lambert
6.Naismith
7.Borini
8.Balotelli
So you guys have the better crop of forwards but we have the best one (ignoring injury records of course :P)
