According to records he is on 250k per week and 6m loan fee which gets to 19m. So United would have spent less than us even if we can sell both for 20m this summer. Looks to me that we took a bigger risk.


this post makes no sense whatsoever...firstly, the figures i found are 15.6 million per year in wages, which works out to 300k. Secondly, unless if we sell the pair of Lambert and Balloteli for the peanuts, they will have spent more.

Mario is on 110k and Lambert on 40k. over a season that works out to 7.8 mil whilst Falcao is on 15.6...so double.

So we are saving 7.8 mil on wages, we paid 14 mil more if you take just the basic loan fee for Falcao, so we are taking a hit of 6.2mil if we give the two away for free.

Do you relly think we will recoup less than 6.2 mil on the two of them?

Regardless of what we spent and they spent all three have been bad signings. But we got two players for less than one of theirs which equates to less of a risk to me.

agreed Wilki...although I can't say I think Rickie was a poor signing, at that price and his record over the past season I think he was worth a punt for a bench warmer.

Well, one could say that a loan deal for Falcao was decent, he was one of the best strikers around before his injury.

But we have been gifted with hindsight and can conclude it has been a failure, as have Balotelli and Lambert. The latter two being less of a risk.

Just catching up with this thread ha ha looks like this pro FSG thread has fallen flat on its face. All hail FSG because we might might have made slightly less of a cock up in signing strikers than United. The big picture is United and Liverpool started from broadly the same position in the eighties but United are far the bigger club in every way. That's not the fault of John Henry but doing nothing of substance to bridge the gap is. That's why I don't like FSG nothing personal I live in an area between the two stadiums and the stick liverpool fans get is awful they say we are a medium sized club and what hurts they are right we are.

This is PRECISELY why we have no reason to be poking fun at United for Falcao's failure to live up to the price tag. We apparently took a much smaller risk with Lambert & Balotelli (some could argue that it was lack of ambition on the of the club/owners - let's face it Balotelli was a cheap(?) punt) and somehow still managed to completely and utterly balls it up, even though the risk was much smaller.

How anyone can be praising FSG in regards to this thread is beyond me.

I think if anything (and I'm simply playing devil's advocate here) you could argue that this shows FSG's lack of ambition and willingness to take a bigger punt with far greater potential reward.

You're right King but we have to poke fun at them where we can. It's just football banter and I'm sure they'd be full of it had he come here.

This is not a pro FSG thread, it is a thread mocking all of those, including yourself, who had a go and threw a fit that we didn't get Falcao and united did. Seems the committee and Br were right for not wanting to pursue Falcao any further after the price quoted.
