But he could easily be a folly for Lukaku in terms of playing just off him.
Allows Barkley to drop back if required and allows us to mix up the system - as we've still got an experienced player in there.
I personally don't think it's likely, and while there's other areas that could/should be addressed first, if he's a realistic option (as Koeman said) I think we'd be silly not to bring him in.
I won't be shedding a tear if he doesn't come back, like.

Yeah, because he left us no option by demanding a move!
He could have deemed us worthy of staying for a season or two and doubled that fee. But he didn't.

Didn't he sign a contract in 2003 (3 years) and was then sold in 2004?

That fee wouldn't have doubled back then. £30m was absolutely top end those days.

The other factor in this is Rooney's preference. He may be happy to go to China for a final massive windfall, in which case United may well be able to bring in a decent transfer fee. He's already a very rich man though and by all accounts a strong family man, so I wouldn't be at all surprised if he rules out a lucrative Chinese deal. It's all speculation at this stage though.
One thing I can't envisage is him being happy with his current situation.

rooney is complete cack nowadays, not got enough to start in any position for a top 6 side.
id consider him on the bench if he was willing to sit there for free, if not let him go to america or somewhere like sunderland.

Watch, when he leaves he will be a different player. He has no passion playing for Man Utd anymore.

I believe he still has a few good seasons left in him and wherever he goes he will attract a lot of interest and attention. I firmly believe that a move back to us, coinciding with confirmation of our new dockside stadium, would make the footballing world sit up, there are plenty of good reasons (not all on the pitch) to hope there's some truth in the rumours.

Your talking about a player who cant stop smoking,eating junk food and generally unable to look after himself for a few years earning top wages,a player who cant be motivated earning mega bucks playing for one of the biggest,most famous teams in the world yet he will get his mojo back playing for us?

At the very most, a loan with a view to buy, see how it goes, no harm in that. I don't want a sub par Rooney back out of sentimentality

that's the thing that makes me think this has legs. Koeman is a very measured man who seems to pick his words carefully. Previously when linked with players he has chosen not to say anything but he's been quite open about Rooney knowing the media will pick up on it.

Barkley looked twice the player he did this weekend. Just saying like.
