And with that, City have spent nearly £100m this window. Incredible for a squad that was ALREADY the highest paid/most expensive. Their 4th choice striker may be as good or better than our 1st choice one.

He can take Torres' #9.Give Torres a # in the 80's to send him the message that he isn't wanted.

I expect Moyes to come out and say he ain't for sale again today. Until Rooney puts in a transfer request nothing's gonna happen.

Just as I predicted earlier today: http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/gareth-bale-transfer-manchester-united-2060737 They'll use Bale to soften the blow of losing Rooney and to appease the angry fans. This is why the guy flew out of Australia I think. Us bidding for Rooney probably sped up the process of them going for him.

Have a feeling he'll be making plenty of opposition fans jealous of us this season just like Hazard did last year. They'll overlook him at first but when he carves them apart with laser passes they'll know what's up.

Hope so mate. He'll be a great player if we get him.

If we've bid between 20m-25m and Arsenal come in with 30m or more, United would probably say its either Arsenal or nowhere.They'd much rather sell him there than to us.

Yeah, only way this is sorted is if Wayne puts in a transfer request. He's gotta feel good knowing Jose Mourinho has publicly declared he wants him and has bid for him. Don't know what he's waiting for. Before Arsenal comes in with a "cannot refuse" bid and turns Rooney's head, we have to get this done.

Can't see us paying that kind of fee unless Jose thinks he'll be a future superstar. Crazy money that. United and City fans are already super salty about the prospect of him joining us. City are especially clamouring for him.

Chelsea announce an extra friendly to be played against Roma at the end of the summer. Part of the DDR deal? Cocks out guys! Please!

Highlights of his touches ect from today?

Well worth it if we won 3 titles over the span of his 5 year contract. Think he's good enough to help us do that.

I'd probably go De Rossi. We showed last year that we can get goals from all around our squad. We were. Overrun far to often in midfield, so De Rossi for me. I want both please! Dear Santa....

Can't see the 20m figure being quoted being accurate if we won't improve the offer. We can't possibly think they'd sell him for that. Think the 28m story is more believable.

To me, it looks like they were planning a deal with Bale to be completed closer to the end of the window, but our bidding for Rooney has forced their hand and made the signing more urgent.Think about it. What player do you bring in to appease the angry fans after you've sold Rooney to Chelsea? Bale or CR7. Wouldn't surprise me at all.

Don't think he'd be flying across the world for just any transfer. This may be big. Bale possibly? It would be just like these bastards to capitalize on us bidding for Rooney by getting an expensive signing in the same day. Then Rooney would stay and it would be a double blow to us.

Can't see how or why Barca would sell Fabregas after just losing possibly their best youngster. And why would Cesc leave knowing he'll play a bigger role this season?

Even if it is for Fabregas, isn't Cesc's preferred position in the #10 role? He'd be Ronney's replacement.

How's MvG looking?

So they lie and say we offered the two player who our fans love the most. Fucking assholes! Now I hope more than ever that Rooney kicks up a fuss and puts in a request so we end up with Rooney AND keep Mata just to shit on them.

Don't think I could ever get over this deal if it were to happen. Seeing our best player in a United kit? For this measly fee? Literally makes me sick.

Absolute MADNESS if we give up Mata. Mata + cash!? Are you fucking kidding me? If Bale is worth 80m, Mata is worth 85m.

Obviously a sensationalized headline but true including wages and likely transfer fee. Rooney is one of, if not the most marketable global footballer, so making that money back in shirt sales and whatnot shouldn't be a problem. Everything seems to be aligning for us here. No other top strikers available so this is our chance to act and bring in one of the best players in the league in a position we need. Rooney & DDR and we'll be one hell of a squad. I may almost feel bad for some of our league opponents next season if these two signings happen. Almost.

We've just about run out of options and some of you still wouldn't want Suarez. If the man who he bit forgave him, than I think you guys can as well. He would MASSIVELY improve Arsenal if he went there.

Negredo and Jovetic in addition to Aguero and Dzeko. Nice selection for them once again. Pretty crazy how City already have such a crazy expensive squad and have gone out and spent another 100m. And notice how only one of them is a young player. City are obviously heavily focused on winning in the immediate future and don't have NEARLY the promise as we do long term. Still think City are ever so slightly ahead of us until we make one or two more additions.
