Great signing for them. Exactly the player they need. I'd definetly say that even without Bale and especially if they add another couple with the eventual Bale money that they look stronger than Arsenal. I can see Spuds sticking around and making the title race interesting for a while but they'll eventually fall back and finish 3rd-4th. Seriously, what in the actual fuck are Arsenal doing? They haven't bought a single player that'll play for the first team. Fine by me!

Embarrassing for Milan here. Not their strongest side and it is just about City's but this crazy.City look unbelievable too. Their new signings look top class and on the same wavelength already.

Highly knowledgable fans like yourself and those who visit football forums won't be cheering him obviously, but thousands and thousands of sheep who are just casual fans and only care about what goes on on the pitch will still love him if he stays.If Rooney stays and says he never tried to leave in the first place as a PR stunt, most of your fans will sweep it under the rug as long he's producing. Just like the last time he did it.

Exactly what I'm fearing. Bad for us either way.Bet you he ends up staying after all of this shit. He'll score loads and the idiot United fans will scream and sing his name like he never asked to leave TWICE.

Just get it done so he can get a few preseason games under his belt!

Yeah, no way it's happening. Whatever team would want him would want the fee much lower than 25m since his wages are so high.Think we're stuck with I'm for good until his contract is up, unfortunately.

£25m!? Taxi for Torres!

Really doesn't make much sense. He's a great player no doubt, but I can't see why we'd want him unless one or more of our CM's left. If Mikel is sold I can see it. Lamps will probably leave after the season and Essien won't be here long. Khedira is a solid enough tackler and can break up play, but he still doesn't solve our problem completely.

That would be true if this were Arsenal or United, but which top players are Spuds going to attract? The best players would cost way more than they ever pay for players and they have a strict wage ceiling which isn't near what elite players earn. Most importantly, they have no CL footy to offer and all of the teams ahead of them have improved, meaning it'll be even tougher this coming season to make top 4.There really aren't any players out there for them to get that would scare me or make me concerned about Spuds.

I hope they sell him to Real, everyone realizes how massively overrated he is, Spuds struggle to attract top players with the money because the can't offer CL and pay meager wages, and they then finish 8th like they would have this past season without Bale.

The world really has gone mad if Bale goes for that insane price. Worth not even half of what's being touted.Another common rumor I'm seeing is Di Maria, Coentrao, AND £50m+ They'd be stupid to turn that down too. They'd be adding two great players and have enough cash to go out and buy 2-3 more class players. They may pull something similar to Arsenal last season where they become a better overall team once they aren't relying solely on one player.

Can't tell if serious. Essien is sadly past it, Mikel doesn't offer enough, Chalobah is going on loan, and Lamps/Ramires/MvG all like to bomb forward and don't help the defense much. We certainly do need to strengthen there. I guess Jose either doesn't think so or is just not revealing that we're after someone. Hoping for the latter.

Finally a match I can watch on TV. I'm expecting a fairly comfortable match. 4-1 victory.

Completely lost faith in this happening now and fully expect to see Torres flailing around the pitch for at least half a season once again. Just don't understand how there's this giant mountain of evidence showing that Rooney wants to leave but he won't hand in a fucking transfer request. Any money he'd lose from this "loyalty bonus" we can just pay him as a singing on bonus. Just buy Suarez or Ibra now for fuck sake and let an unhappy Rooney sulk and stink up the joint playing for that mong Moyes.

If you think the hype here for Traore is big, you should see what the tools on Redcafe are saying about that Adnan whatever the hell his last name is. You'd think they have Messi on their hands.

Wish I could watch live. Hope to see more of Traore in the second half when I watch it later.

Looks like Suarez is gonna do exactly what I wish Rooney would do. He's gonna force his way to Arsenal. They'll be legit contenders if they land him. Fucking annoying.

Why not give them one of our really promising kids on loan plus £40m? They need help in CM so maybe Chalobah can get a top class, midtable loan.

He'll pen his contract before our friendly.

This is getting worse by the day. If Suarez gets sold for some huge figure, why would United sell Rooney for any less? Now United's official twitter is hyping up Rooney's return. Think he may actually end up staying now after all this shit that's gone on. Just about ALL top strikers will be gone.

So several reputable papers and journo's now reporting that Arsenal have indeed lodged a £40m bid. I'd absolutely HATE to see a player as good as Suarez going to bloody Arsenal. Think he'd be absolutely brilliant playing with Cazorla and Walcott. Really hope we're monitoring this situation incase Rooney doesn't come. Don't think I could stand seeing United lining up with RvP, City with Aguero & Jovetic, and Arsenal with Suarez while we throw out Fernando fucking Torres.

Don't remind me. And you know he's the most popular player when we go on tour, so when the club sees the fangirls going crazy about him they'll be even more reluctant to sell. Already hard enough to stomach seeing Torres as the featured player on all of our adverts.

As each day passes my frustration grows. The longer this goes without Rooney handing in a transfer request the more its looking like he's staying and that all he's wanted this whole time is more cash from United. If by the end of the week he hasn't asked for a transfer formally I wish we'd just bid for Suarez. Jose himself just stressed the importance of preseason for a player, so we can't piss about and wait.

Yeah, I don't know if he's worth that much, but I bet you they wouldn't take a penny less than that for him currently.

Think Mourinho will be the ultimate Trump card as far as ths kid goes. He's made it clear he likes the kid and wants him, so even if another club moves for him I don't think he's going anywhere. Unless Madrid offers him huge money or something.
