Hopefully that means we won't be in for him.
Why would we want to be his second choice again?

I think we are his first choice mate, he's using it as a tool to get a free transfer amd keep his loyalty bonus rather than United get a fee for him.

You think Mourinho is going to bow to his demands? LOL. He'll keep him on the bench on £300k a week before he gives in to player power.

Signing on fee, wages he would command...this money 'saved' is put to better use by offering Ajax and dolberg what they want in a transfer fee and wages.

Do you not think he has a board of directors to answer to mate? He will be asked if Rooney is in his plans - if not get rid.

Then he'll just tell them he wants to keep him for the squad, as they'll have loads of games or something. This is Jose Mourinho we're talking about, he's more than happy to cut his nose off to spite his face in order to show he's boss.

Possibly, didn't really show John Terry who was boss when he was getting him sacked at Chelsea though.
Personally, I think our interest in him has cooled and he's been made aware of this, therefore he's issuing a "please keep me" plea to United because he knows he doesn't have us waiting with open arms like an old flame. The past few weeks he's looked way out of his depth in the games United have used him in, Koeman and Walsh will surely have noticed this and will have hopefully decided that he's not worth it after all, that going abroad and looking for someone younger is the better option.
Still wouldn't be at all surprised if we see him rock up back here in the summer but at least now we know it's not a certainty. Hopefully sensibility and not sentiment wins out.

Don't know about the last few weeks, the last 18 months he's 'looked way out of his depth'. As you said sentiment shouldn't come into it.
It will all come down to a medical. That will prove whether he can do it any more. You don't lose the talent or become a bad player you just lose the ability to do it a the highest level. I'm sure Ron won't give his recent games a second thought if he is interested. As I said if all want it to happen and he passes the medical then that will be it.

Actually that was precisely his downfall, benching Terry and having him turn the whole squad against him. In the battle of wills, Terry obviously won because he had the whole squad behind him, but Mourinho never backed down.

Maybe so mate but it's all irellevant - he won't be keeping Rooney just to keep him on the bench. Man Utd is first and foremost a business, secondary they are a football club.
The Glazers arent stupid, and won't sign off on keeping hold of the club's highest earners to sit on the bench to blatantly massage the managers ego. He tried it with Schweinsteiger and had to back down, put him in the squad and eventually got rid - purely for financial reasons

Also all the gushing was during a period when it was just a click of a pen before confirmation of Lukaku deal. He was probably seen as useful backup for the odd few minutes to Rom.
We possibly have 2 strategies in place based on with Rom n Ross and without.
