Mouthwatering, really. If his behavior could be kept under control he'd probably be a better fit than Rooney. Ultra hardworking, extremely mobile, links well with the midfield, and doesn't need everything done for him as far as service goes. He can take players on brilliantly and create for himself. We'd have one of, if not the best attack in world football with either of them playing in front of our attacking midfielders.

Suarez playing together with Walcott, Cazorla, and even alongside Giroud who should improve this season is nothing to scoff at. They'd be a genuine threat. Don't want to see this.

Only saving grace here is that he doesn't specifically mention Arsenal. Only that he wants CL. Hopefully this drags until the end so that if we miss Rooney we'll have a fallback option.

Suarez now publicly stating to both The Telegraph and The Guardian that he wants to join Arsenal. Fuck. Really hope this clause is rubbished so Liverpool can jack the price beyond what Arsenal will pay. I'd fucking hate to see that scum with a player as good as Suarez. Guarantee 100% that if we showed interest he'd come here over Arse. Desperately wants CL footy and Liverpool would much rather sell him here than Arse. If Rooney doesn't happen, DO IT!

I think so too. I just have a feeling that they'll struggle this season unless they make a top class signing or two. Like on the Fabregas or Ronaldo level.I can honestly see them finishing 4th. Don't think the United fans would accept that for more than 1 season. They massively over performed last season and were bailed out so many times.

It's almost certainly twitter bullshit as usual. Moyes' latest comment tells me that he and Rooney have just completely fallen out and don't even speak. Good!

Figured I'd post this here. Nice little preview/prediction for the new season from The Guardian. http://www.theguardian.com/football/blog/2013/aug/06/premier-league-preview-chelsea

Telegraph reporting that Arsenal are still keen and that Rooney would still consider moving there. Could you imagine? I absolutely wouldn't put it past Fergie or Moyes to personlly call Wenger and offer them Rooney for less than what we offer. Wouldn't surprise me one bit.

It would absolutely make my YEAR if we signed Rooney and on the next day the official Chelsea twitter posted a pic of Mata signing a 5 year extension. Would utterly humiliate United and make them look like complete mugs. Take their best and most important player and then shit on them and let them know that we aren't to be fucked with.

Liverpool supporter from RAWK: Much easier to appreciate now that he is not wearing Carragher's carcass as a winter scarf. Brilliant player.

That's why I absolutely LOVE him. Ultimate windup merchant but speaks the truth. And it also just so happens that the main clubs he winds up are our biggest rivals.

You guys should tune in to TalkSport right now. Durham winding up the United supporters so hard right now. Hilarious!

Think he was second this past season in shirt sales behind RvP. So we'd have 3 of the top 10 if we bought Roo along with Hazard and Torres.

That's such a bad photo of him...looks like a 300lb guy there with his mouth a gasp waiting for a Big Mac.

So we hear absolutely nothing about this injury after the match and just as we bid for a second time he gets "injured" and can't travel to a match. Sounds to me like Rooney has been advised or decided to refuse to play.

I just think it's 50m because it's Arsenal that's bidding. Liverpool think of Arsenal as a direct competitor for that coveted 4th spot. They know we're a class above them so I'd think they be much easier to work with than United.I'm sure we could do business with them. Maybe something like 35m + Ba since they're gonna need a striker. Ba could thrive there with the play from the wings they have.

Think about the effect a transfer request would have. It's Moyes' first season with the club which is going to be difficult enough. Imagine what it'll be like if they reject Rooney's transfer request and has every fan booing like crazy and destroying Rooney at every game. He'll be bombarded by Rooney questions at all times and it'll be a MASSIVE distraction for the entire year. If something goes wrong you'll hear "why didn't Rooney play up top?" or "why was Rooney on the bench?" If we bid 30m and he hands in a transfer request I think they'll sell. If not, fuck 'em. Let them keep an unsettled player and we can buy Suarez.

This is getting so bloody frustrating. HAND IN A GODDAMN TRANSFER REQUEST!

Jose probably wanted to protect him from hurting himself. The poor guy may break his neck tripping over the ball like he did earlier.

You can see EXACTLY why Jose really wants Rooney. We have great build up and counter attacks, but as soon as the ball gets up top to a striker it dies. Torres, bless him, works his ass off but simply isn't good enough. We need a forward who can play confidently with the ball at his feet and isn't afraid to have a shot. With Rooney added to our fantastic squad, I think we'll win the league by a margin similar to United last season.

Starting to look like the style I HATED last year. Playing it long constantly, rushing when we have the ball, and allowing them to have all of the possession. So annoying. Settle down and keep possession!

Luiz!? Injured?
