Or nothing going on, but all the media talk about whether or not it's worth to sign Falcao has forced his agent to take a stand

With his lack of goals and injuries that have hampered his stint at United, I'm sure not many are willing to see him stay next season.
He once was a great, great striker, and you can't really fault his effort; in many games he makes these clever runs that just aren't spotted by others, and runs a lot. However, he doesn't have the predatory instinct he had two years ago, and combined with the fact that we somehow struggle to create chances in games, it just hasn't gone well for him.
So, presumably based on current form we aren't going to make his stay permanent?

He was sidelined for eternity, no surprise he lost some of the confidence and "predatory" instinct as you say. |

Even if he scored a lot of goals my opinion wouldn't have changed. He is not young enough and cost around 40 mil and high wages. |

When a top player has a top service:

Yeah Eric, that's right. He looks exactly like that now. He looks like a League 3 player in terms of an end product, but just by his own fault? Easy scapegoat, isn't it?
I wonder what the goal tally of Diego Costa would be if you just switch him and Falcao for teams. How many Radamel would have had if he had Matić, Fabregas, Ramires, Hazard and Oscar next to him?

Costa does far more on the field than Falcao has done so far for us, he bullies and hassles defenders and doesn't seemingly coat his boats in olive oil.

It's a shame but he isn't the same player as he was, gets the service and fluffs it, can't control the ball, can't keep the ball, has even beat a man? He's getting absolutely bullied. I can't believe how weak he has been, simply not cut out for English football.
Di Maria is similar but he's got the time, Falcao hasn't, he's on trial and it's been no where near good enough.
The system might not suit him but he isn't helping himself either.

At least he looked disappointed being taken off.

At least he looked disappointed being taken off. No he wasn't, he was just looking in the red lights on the number board who weren't clear enough.  Personally, as much as I think he'd play much better in a different system with couple of pacey players in, I'd rather have Lacazette next season. |

The thing that made Falcao great was he was nearly always first to the ball through shear hunger. Now I don't know if he's been feed too much but that hunger is well and truely gone. As Miroslav has already said, a great player doesn't become shit overnight, so what has happened to him? Legs can't hack it anymore? Hasn't recovered from his injury? Doesn't like English football? Too many prostitutes? Too much fish n chips? Doesn't like the cold and the rain? Can't stand VGs tactics? Love triangle between him, RVP and Fred the red? Not used to the watered down version of our cocaine? I could go on but I think you more or less get my point.....
Whatever the reason even though I think as well under a different formation he could become great again I wouldn't like to take the risk of signing him on a full time basis ( if he hasn't already been signed) Is it really worth paying nearly £130m over 5 years on the hope we will make it? Me thinks not.
