To be honest though even if he doesnt play, i expect rooney to be in the stands tonight or at the after dinner

With Rooney training with the reserves, I can't decide whether he was actually sent there by Moyes, or asked for it to be fit for England perhaps. The first article I read yesterday about it was from goal and funny enough they seemed to be the most in depth, stating what time he arrived, the fact his agent was at Carrington also, and that Moyes sent him to the reserves himself. etc. I think the story of him asking to go into the reserves could have been Utd's PR machine, but at the same time wanting to be fit for England is plausible too

Genuine question to the Utd fan If Rooney plays tonight, even though its a testimonial, you think the boos will be deafening for him.

I have always thought to myself he wont do it before Rio's testimonial if he had any decency. IF he is going to put one in itll be after tomorrow

Mourinhos words translated "We will keep bidding right until deadline day, but for now Wayne we have done all we can, we are back from USA soon so slap that TR in" He sounds confident, next week when we are back from the USA and community shield has passed, the pace needs to be upped ideally from Rooneys end.

If he did ask to train with reserves to get fit, and is playing for England i wouldnt be surprised if he plays in community shield. Tomorrow probably not

Gustavo's name is popping up a lot, but I'm willing to bet that IF we sign a DM it is going to be Khedira

Moyes tells Rooney to submit transfer request, or commit to Utd (Mirror)

Because 1 despite being a cracking player, he is a fucking scumbag he has missed like 25 games through bans in his time in England. Thats disgusting. If you'd asked me in the summer id of still taken Rooney over Suarez

Think his great grandfather founded Chelsea. About all I know about him, and he genuinely IS the great grandson incase anyone thinks hes lying about that. Posts in Chelsea chat regularly

What can he do? Most things in a gym will involve use of the arms

So, the day after he can't travel to Sweden due to a bad shoulder, he is at training. Couldn't make it up. Unless people believe his shoulder injury is genuine.... But yeah, before we bore ourselves to death saying it, he does need to force it now. Didn't he tell Moyes yesterday that he wanted out again

When united stop saying he is not for sale, the price goes down.... Dalglish "Torres is not for sale, he will remain at Liverpool, end of story" January 29th or something after a £25m ish bid is rejected 31st January Fernando Torres joins Chelsea for £50m. And yes, Torres also made a transfer request, which is what Rooney needs to do, and probably knows this is his next step

How can people still honestly think this is the media making lies up and he may actually want to stay. The mind boggles

Apparently a fella on twitter, well thought of among Utd fans called Peter Bolton has said he has been informed that Rooney refused to travel

There was no mention of Rooney hurting his shoulder in the match reports. If the injury is not genuine, something must happen soon either way.

Ben Smith ‏@BenSmithBBC7m Wayne Rooney not in #MUFC squad that departs for pre-season friendly in Sweden today. The reason? A shoulder injury ... HAHAHAHAHA of course, of course. (may be genuine but id bet against). This the same shoulder injury he played against Betis with? That poster Utd made about his return looks pretty fucking embarassing now, cnuts

This won't happen (i dont mean the transfer), or I'd be fucking gobsmacked if it did, but should Rooney now refuse to go to Sweden, it's going to pick up speed big time

We knew they wouldnt accept an extra £2m on our original offer. £23m to £25m wont do the trick, even with add-ons. Because if you are unaware the selling club aren't guaranteed to receive the add-ons as they're dependant on certain criteria being met. So in essence the bid is only £25m. Soon as/if a transfer request goes in, Utd could still reject it, (but it depends how hard Rooney himself pushes and makes a case to move) but soon as it is handed in I'd expect a big bid to go in like £30-35m without add ons. It is now time for Rooney to make his point heard.

Think he does yeh, along with Gourlay and Emenalo

Dave Barnard the man who signs the contracts stays in London. Must be pushing hard for this deal now

September 3rd. Setlled once and for all

No it isnt. It is an indicator Moyes wants to keep him. There is no smoke without fire, There is no way if Wayne Rooney is having lies printed about him in a paper he doesn't deny it. He, or Coleen read them everyday, or his agent probably does. And re.never speaking to Thiago, if you think we bid for Rooney without speaking to his people first or the player himself, you are mad. It is no coincidence that the night we bid, he is apparently "angry and confused" with Man Utd. The bid happened the same night that story broke You got the Manchester Evening News journos saying he wants to go. Simon Mullock, Manchester football reporter saying a transfer request is likely to be handed in this week. I was on a rumours page recently and there is a user on there called Ed02, who is bang on with his info. (spoke to norwich, newcastle, man utd, villa, and everton fans and they all said he is spot on) This Ed02 reckons there is going to be headlines this week which Man Utd fans are going to be very "vocal" about. Obviously he is going to get things wrong now and then, but he seemed pretty adamant about this.

Well happy or not, he has to play technically. He is employed by Utd. Case in note Suarez, still playing and cant wait to rid himself of scouse land

I think you'll get a "big" name, which then leads to Rooney going. After we play you, it'll pick up pace dramatically i reckon. I said before, wouldn surprise me if he misses game through a "knock" Obviously everything I have said re.Rooney and denials now means he denies it tomorrow. (not that i believe the daily star anyway)
