Seen a couple rumors of Chelsea wanting to make a swoop for Falcao; Liverpool as well. Not sure how much truth there is in this. Thoughts?

 
Sure, after all we've been missing his kind of talent since Torres left.

Clearly his agent trying to get some interest in him before the summer. He's gone as a top player, Liverpool should defo go for him tho!!

 
Unless he's coming on a free transfer to take over from Doris the tea lady who is retiring at the end if the season I don't see it.

 
He'll be close to 30 when the next season starts. No thanks, and he is done by the looks of it. He should rather stay in France or should move to Italy.

 
He's transfer fee should United make his loan permanent is £43m, you'd assume it will be the same or similar for other interested clubs.

For that kind of money there's fitter, younger and more in form strikers available so I don't see a club like Chelsea who already have a top quality striker looking to sink a large amount of their transfer budget on a him.  

 
Nope, avoid.

Never recovered from the injury he got at Monaco. Serves him right for joining a club that prioritizes cash over sense.

 
No thanks, this is a man who sneezes if he gets within ten feet of the Champions League.

 
Apparently his fee would be upwards of £40m.

There is no way that happens. Not today. Not tomorrow. Not ever.

 
Falcao will struggle to find a club, that's how bad he's been for United.

Looks like that bad knee injury did indeed take that little bit away from his game and he is now struggling.

 
Tevez has consistently maintained that he will leave Juventus at the end of next season to return to Boca Juniors. If Falcao is willing to take a pay cut (and obviously depending on what happens during this summer) I can imagine him ending up at Juventus.

It's a shame because I would happily have Tevez here. He's a right little bar steward, but like Cristiano Ronaldo, he seems much less detestable from a distance.

Regarding Falcao's next club, I suppose for the most part it is a matter of who could afford him (and who would want him). I can't imagine anyone in the Premier League will be interested (with the possible exception of Man City, although that would probably depend on one of their current strikers - likely Dzeko or Jovetic, assuming Negredo doesn't return - leaving), but a move to PSG doesn't seem entirely unrealistic, nor one to Real Madrid who aren't exactly saturated on the striker front (assuming they don't take on Hernandez permanently). I suppose an outside bet might be the MLS or Russia, but I don't think Falcao is quite that close to finished just yet.

 
There was a moment during the season where i felt he could turn it around and be a success. To be fair we are judging him based on a united team that has been poor through out the season and not produced many chances at all. That being said, after watching him since then, it is clear he is not good enough for our club or any top club for that matter.

A shame how much an injury can impact a players career.

 
I wouldn't take him but I think Manchester United have handled him appallingly since his injury.

For a team like Liverpool or Tottenham who would put their arms around him and make him feel like he's the main man again he'd be an unbelievable signing.

A team like Liverpool or Tottenham could never afford him - Falcao's wages are estimated at anywhere between £200k and £300k a week.

 
He will need to be at a team in the CL for any team to fund his transfer and wage.

That rules out Liverpool and Spuds.

PSG maybe but why would they want him when they already have Cavanni and Ibra?

Madrid? They will have noticed his form and goal scoring since the injury has been terrible, they are mugs but not the type of mugs that buy crocked players.

I absolutely love the idea of Costa and Tevez playing in the same team. PL defenders won't know what's hit them.

As for Falcao, no thanks.

Being an ex Atletico player would surely count against him. 

Look how pissy Madrid fans are being at the moment, especially towards Bale... Can you imagine the abuse Falcao would get if he was turning out the sort of guff performances he is United? 

Supposedly Madrid aren't going to make Hernandez move permanent but I doubt they'd spend big money on back up to Benzema personally.

Quite honestly I think he might end up back at Monaco, what big club is going to want him based on his United form and smaller clubs like Spurs and Liverpool aren't going to be able to afford his wages... Whether they could even afford or justify paying £40m for him in the first place is debatable.

Unless Monaco significantly lower their asking price or Falcao lowers his wage demands I think they're stuck with him... A bit like a recent Chelsea number 9 I suppose.
