This move would be all about Coleen living in London and nothing more.
The US is one of the only major sporting countries in the world where soccer isn't the number one sport. It's pretty much an obsession everywhere else.
Belgium have some of the most exciting, upcoming youngsters in world football. I wouldn't worry too much.
In short, as I explained elsewhere, there were complications surrounding his 3rd-party ownership. English teams are banned from signing 3rd-party owned players (since the West Ham / Tevez / Mascherano debacle) and basically the only team mad enough to deal with these people and sign him on their terms were mega-rich Monaco. Nobody wanted him. He didn't have much say in where he ended up and it was pretty much all his own fault for agreeing to this stupid deal that originally took him from...
It's Partick Thistle.
It'll be hilarious to watch when their team is full of big superstar strikers and attacking midfielders and they're still playing Joleon Lescott at the back.
He's not really Man U style. Also, because he's a nutbar.
Again, he doesn't have much of a say because of 3rd-party ownership. His owners will get the best possible deal for them. It's got nothing to do with football or any player's "career". Chelsea can't sign him (because of the FA's ban on 3rd-party ownership) unless they give Atletico the money to buy out the company that own him and THEN sign him (eg. David Luiz from Benfica), which will never, ever happen. Nobody wants the guy, it's far too complicated and exp...
This is no "u-turn", Falcao has 3rd-party ownership and doesn't get a say where he ends up. Like Hulk off to Zenit. LOL. Plus, Chelsea aren't allowed to outright purchase a 3rd-party owned player (Thanks to the Tevez/Mascherano debacle and the FA banning 3rd-party ownership. Chelsea got Luiz by giving Benfica money to buy out the 3rd-party ownership so they could then sign him outright). Makes sense that tax-exempt Monaco pay his hefty wages too.
Young South...
To be fair to him, his current club (the one with no money) are at the point Liverpool are at now! :)
I agree, and I imagine most people connected with Utd would too. It's why someone like Mourinho and his ego will never be Utd manager.
It's clearly not a "done deal", though, eh?

Fair result. Van Persie's late goal has probably guaranteed them the league!
Guillem Balague said any deal for Falcao would depend on the future of Rooney. So given Utd's apparent interest in Falcao, I wouldn't completely rule this move out.
It doesn't matter who is better or who deserves what, the league table speaks for itself. You can buy yourself a few titles, but to win as consistently over the years as Man Utd have takes something special. Man City may have that one day, but 15 points tells you they don't have it yet.
What?
Joey Barton is the Chris Brown of football.
Take a break, EA. For the love of christ, take a break.
