I'm not convinced by Rooney and Van Persie myself and think they trade in on the value of their names and what they did two years ago. Don't get me wrong, I'd probably still just about have them in the top 10 strikers in the Premiership, but on present form there's a fair few better than they are in the league. Falcao is a definite upgrade on both.

United seem to be taking the Liverpool approach of "Defence? lol. You can score 5 goals against us if you want but we'll just go and get 6 anyway!" can't wait for Liverpool v United, it's going to be stupidly fun.
