Transfer Rumour Wayne Rooney

[matty1878]

Martial, Mata or even Luke Shaw (to cover for Baines) would all have been great buys and according to reports we sell them lukaku and take Rooney instead. I think I'll avoid some united supporting mates for a while if that happens.

We're getting 100 million mate so who's assed

Don't kid yourself...Keane wanted to go to utd and they pulled out of the deal....and has Barkley signed a contract or been sold...I don't think so...

The Rooney deal is done!

You swine

 

[marnie]

Not a chance a deal for Rooney involves Lukaku. This is morning paper BS of the lowest standard.Why didn't any of them say/report this at4pm this afternoon?What a load of old tosh.

 

[BlueToff]

If you honestly think that even very good managers don't sometimes make mistakes and buy players who don't have the right attitude by mistake, you're going to very disapointed in life.

I'm in no way that naive.

But I don't think this is a mistake at all. The pros outweigh the cons imo. Simple.

Signing Rooney would show no ambition whatsoever. What does he offer? United know he's passed it and are desperate to let him go. Doesn't that tell you what you need to know?

I'd rather we concentrated on sigurdson who you know scores and gets assists. Rooney is clearly the cheaper option and a kop out

We want to break into the top 6 or top 4 yet we seem desperate to sign a player deemed not good enough for one of these said clubs and no other club above us seems interested in. How is the signing of an over the hill player going to take us where we want to go?

Smacks of another Gazza/Ginola type signing to me.

If the Mancs wanted to keep him he wouldn't be remotely interested in coming back here. And the reasons United want rid is because he's in decline and will only decline further and further from here. He couldn't even get on the bench at times for them last season. I hope this falls through.

 

[NSNO_Phil_1878]

If he scores against the rs and does it all is forgiven

Winner in the kop an all that

 

[gorgeousgeorgeEFC]

I know he's 31 and no longer in his prime, but he's still better than anything we've got going forward. Apart from Rom, that is.

And having the most decorated English footballer in history in the dressing room won't do too much harm.

 

[Cellardweller]

Don't sign him ffs. He's an over the hill slug who would now struggle in the Championship

 

[Eggsyblueskin]

It's puzzling that given he is allegedly such a 'big blue' , Man U clearly don't want him , and we seemingly do, he's already ridiculously wealthy , that there have to be negotiations at all. Surely it should be 'Do you want to come.? ........'Yes we'll sort out the money later, where do I sign. ?'

I posted this a few pages back (you may not have seen it):
"The downward spiral for him came, I believe, in that last season of Ferguson's, when suddenly he was dropped and everything was uncertain. Ferguson sticking the knife in for his previous wage revolt? I think so.
Since then he has not been the same player. I have suspected that his heart went out of that club, and his performances suffered as a result.
I think he wants out, and the only Prem club he said he would go to was us."

That was the one time Ferguson had it put to him good-style by a player. Think Beckham, Stam, Keane. Ferguson got the better of all of them, but not Rooney. I think in the last 2-3 seasons he hasn't given a crap about ManUre, and it has shown in his performances.

And I posted this also:
"I believe on the pitch, he would be the 'captain' even if he did not have the armband - HE would be the one geeing the rest up, not letting them get slipshod in what they do, driving the team on, getting the crowd to get behind the team.
Off the pitch, I believe his great experience and know-how would work wonders with the young players in the team - I cannot believe he would simply join us and then do nothing to bring on the younger players for the benefit of the club. I believe he would relish the 'senior' role."

I think the issue has to be seen from the two standpoints above...

NO! He's going to lift like you wouldn't believe! He's gonna run as fast as he can on a beach! He's gonna chase chickens!

He'll be an athlete the likes of which you've never seen outside a Rocky flick. And all the goalies will be powerless to stop him

Haha . Like I need a manc badge kissing traitor telling me to get behind the team I've been supporting since before he was even a twinkle in his arl fellas eye.

Papers say there's work to be done, ITKs say she's all wrapped up and ready to be announced.

Either way, get it done and get him in. Everton will be international news, the TV big boys will be falling over themselves to put our games on tele and the shirts will walk out the door in markets we haven't yet touched. And most importantly, he'll score goals for us and be a shining light for the academy.
