Marketing alone this bloke could bring astronomical figures, that reason alone makes sense.

Oh there it is...

Now where is that 'Back' Stockholm poster

It suggests to me the transfer request has been submitted.....playing in friendlies behind closed doors and flying around Europe is two totally different things all together.

The bolded bit...He would become a complete cunt in the eyes of the media if he joined us....fahct!!

Oh well guess he won't get to see that fan reaction eh.

Shit just got real.

Reason...he wants out.

'My Striker' another wonderful way of words by Jose, it's why I love him.

Source? Not Daddies or HP mind you.

See it also about rotation what people are missing, Hazard, Mata and say Oscar wont play every game and will need to be rested and or covered for injuries etc. Rooney can play up top or deeper like already said, Ba should be moved on because with three of Lukaku, Torres and Rooney that's enough. You have to take into consideration players will tire and this is the problem last season, we could never look to the bench and replace quality with quality, it was Yossi or Marin sat there. So the scenario is Mata is allowed to start a game from the bench due to tiredness Rooney could fill the gap allowing Lukaku to lead the line and Torres as back up. As bad as Torres has been I certainly wouldn't mind looking to him from the bench to come on and nab a goal, perfectly fine. Jose can and will integrate them all if we sign Rooney, and if anyone can keep these players happy it's Jose. City have a plethora of top attackers, and it's needed, what's important is keeping them happy and utilizing them to their strengths to benefit the team thus allowing others not to burn out. It's a long season.

If this happens then Ba is either sent on loan or sold, without doubt.

Yes he is. 27 still massive amounts to offer, can play up top or deeper, knows the league tremendous work ethic and still has four-five good seasons in him. This makes so much sense to me it's unreal......A fired up and fresh Rooney under a fired up and fresh Jose is worrying.

Good luck to all involved.

Like I said before we can now look to the bench and see quality now if needed. Schurlle, De Bruyne etc is a massive, massive upgrade on Marin and Yossi, huge infact. This is why we will win the PL this season IMO. This truck won't be shifted.

They will sell to us if our bid is correct of 25M plus add ons, possibly upped to 30- Rooney will stick in a request and United will be backed into a corner of having a huge sum on the table for a very unhappy player.

All of a sudden things just kicked on.

Your frustration of lack of signings is showing mate, you don't have enough fingers for the straws you are clutching at.

I think the transfer request is the only thing left now.

Great finish from Schurlle that was, brilliant the way he pulls off the defender to create the shooting space.

8/11 to join us, I know betting odds mean nout but just heard it on the radio.

Wow another great result and two super goals.....delighted

Fucking amazing man, love him.

Ah but that's the press pulling the wool.....*sarcasm on*

For what he can bring for 3-4 season and in terms of adaptability and versatility, yes.
