If comparing him to Balotelli is the best defence you can provide you know it hasn't been a good signing.

Its a good thing it was a contrast not a comparison :pac:

Not sure if I understand your point.Are you saying that
Liverpool wouldn't be interested in Falcao because
(a) Liverpool don't like people motivated by cash?
(b) Liverpool only sign players who have a burning desire to play for the club?

I think he means (c) not able to compete with some teams financially.

Meh, outcome of both is a sh*te argument that doesn't paper over it being a bad signing so far.

I'd agree, Balotelli was always going to be a risk. x

As is paying someone 300 grand a week that's just coming back from a serious knee injury. They were both risks and neither seems to be working out.

The lack of respect for Falcao is just plain odd.The guy is proven quality and only a 7 year old would write him off after 4 months.

There is no lack of respect being shown, the only reason he's being discussed in here at all is because a Utd fan brought him up in comparison to Lambert & Balotelli as a signing.

For a loan fee of £6m the return to date has been 10 appearances and 2 goals, if he improves on that and Utd sign him they'll be paying £43m for him, he'll be 6 months off 30 years old at the start of the 2015/2016 season.

I really do hope that Utd sign him though, as a Liverpool fan.

Approaching the end of this thread it seems

Pilsbury Doughboy · 29-12-2014 8:00pm

Confirmed #LFC team v Swansea: Mignolet, Can, Skrtel, Sakho, Manquillo, Moreno, Lucas, Henderson, Lallana, Coutinho, Sterling

Teams are in, time to focus on the game and stop the shytehawking that's been rife on this thread from Utd and Liverpool fans.

I'll relinquish my access to the SF if that team lines out at 4-1-2-3

That rumour was wrong

I'd say we will be seeing a similar formation to the last few games with Can dropping in as a centre(ish) half.
We'll get a decent look at Moreno and Manquillo as wing backs tonight, looking forward to that.

livinginkorea · 29-12-2014 8:08pm

For the first time in probably ever we can say there are 3 strikers on the bench but not one on the pitch!

With Lucas, Hendo & the two wing backs there I reckon the only place for Can is at CB in that 11. He'll quite likely go forward with attacks leaving Lucas behind though at times.
