Does it have to be pro / anti FSG? Can it not be just taking the p!ss out of Utd thread?

In which case no idea what the point is United made good and bad signings last season so did we maybe have the better of it marginally last season but big deal. And if the thread us nothing to do with FSG why put it in the title ?

What you're seeing with the Falcao situation is Van Gall bullying tactics, as he thinks Falcao isn't putting in enough effort. Van Gall rules by using bullying and fear tactics in an effort to get the most from his players. I'm very interested to see how it works out with today's multi millionaire players.

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 Ba6lotelli 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.


Agree, and I would add, depending on how much Balotelli can be sold, we might have done a slightly better deal financially. If he ends up like Aquilani and Reina with loan deals and selling for peanuts, Falcao will end up being a better financial deal.

Read my reply again, nothing to do with FSG but with those who slagged them off and made them the fall guys for what has turned out to be a smart decision...

FSG are about the big things the direction of the club the stadium not the finer points of individual signings which change year on year or by the month as players hit form or not. I do accept there has been critique of the rumoured FSG committee meddling etc that may be true or not but this certainly is no justifcation for that or FSG generally as you can see as not one person agrees with your synopsis

You are stretching it there.

A good decision....... they dont pay big wages so he was never realistically on our radar.

Falcao's wage demands made the decision not FSG's wisdom.

Oh and we can slag no one when it comes to buying strikers.

Agreed, and had he been going cheap and prepared to play for relative buttons, guess where he’d be plying now? In any case I don’t think Falcao is a bad player as the op is implying, I think he’s being blackguarded by one of the biggest bullies in the game, and it’s not a very smart move by Van Gall either.

Why is that? Have we not had amongst the best in the past 10 years? Toores, Suarez, Sturridge...Are they not right up there? Were they not amongst the best? By reputation maybe not, by goals scored, YES!
