Special Juan

Edited for truth.

I have a feeling Jose has told the club to get him Rooney, in that interview when he was asked about him and he replied "Tell him to call me" there was a glint in Jose's eyes, I think this is one he wants and he will make Roman and the board know this. I don't like to get ahead of myself in terms of transfers but a lot points towards him moving on, and of course there will be a lot of clubs sniffing around, not just Chelsea but with the connections here such as Ashley, JT, Frank and Jose I would bet good money he is Chelsea bound if he leaves than anywhere else mentioned. The versatility this bloke could offer would be just massively vital to our title and cup aspirations this season. No way would he hinder the development of the likes of Lukaku or anyone, he would be a huge influence towards the young lads and in the dressing room. You have to look at the positives because they far out way the negatives if this transfer happens. He is no longer the main man at United, Van Persie has that, and with Hernandez, Wellbeck and Henriquez it doesn't look good for him. Even when deployed behind a striker they have Kagawa, Zaha and also Wellbeck who can play off a striker, so to me, Rooney is drowning because he will not get that guarantee he wants of playing up top or even off it. We need to pounce on this, and now is perfect, it just smells so right and if we can, it could be master-stroke by Chelsea. Put your hatred for him and what he has done in the past aside and see it from a total football point of view and soon you will, with an open mind see exactly why signing Rooney is nothing short of a brilliant move for this football club.

Fetch him here, Jose will show Moyes exactly what a fit Rooney really is.

We have heard zero from Rooney, only United with 'he isn't for sale'.....I think all this talk from Moyes is done through gritted teeth, and behind it all is a very un happy footballer.

as it stands the transfer request is still in, as far as I am aware he wants away

My mate got this spot on, he said last night an offer had come in and Rooney will be flying back in the coming days.

I bet you Bony has an awesome season and we go in for him next season with a 25M offer....you watch.

Love him to go to Bayern just to see all those fucking wankers at United crying into their coffee cups. Toss pots.

Bayern always get what they want, apart from when playing in their own back yard for the Champions League trophy

Bank Holiday effing Monday too, what a bunch of tossers.

Nah it's too late, this was probably Leonardo's goodbye gift. I bet Cavani will be unveiled in the next few hours to right this wrong.

There is a comparison straight away. Hazard is nigh on the verge of being one of the top footballers in the world if not already, yet you state how much the rise in quality was. Yes he is a squad player, but does that deflect from his achievements from last season? As much as it must annoy you he was a big part of our team last year.

An ex-footballer friend of mine posted on a social network last night "Good luck to Schwarzer at Chelsea" and the comments he received from a previous teams fans were laughable....things like "Way to rot on the bench" This is football fans losing complete perspective of what certain players can bring to certain teams, yet cannot grasp that the said player moved on from their club and has actually bettered himself. Some football fans worry me.

Hang on, your comparing Hazard with Mata now? Your posts are more off track than an Arsenal trophy challenge. You are comparing Schurlle and De Bruyne to someone who has represented Chelsea and delivered the goods. I think some people see a squad player beneath their expectations because of that phrase. No matter whether you wouldn't cry if he was sold you surely cannot take away his contribution for Chelsea last season? Get some perspective for goodness sake.

Wait, what is this 'Chelsea quality' you are talking about? The fact remains Moses brought a lot to the table last season, assists and goals yet because he isn't that 20M plus signing he isn't Chelsea quality? Do me a favour. Schurrle and KDB have yet prove anything at Chelsea and we await when they do, Oscar did well in his first season and more is expected of him, but to down size what Moses offered us last season is damn right ignorant when he really didn't do much wrong. He was bought as a squad player, he started, came off the bench and scored goals.....what is the wrong in that?

Golf just gets in the way of the bull fighting and beer, also other sexual activity.

why surprise?

Not sad at all, I play Golf at a high level, and also coach it. I watch it also.

Strootman is about to sign for Roma, so we may some movement on the De Rossi front soon.

Both washed up.

He just said he has spoken with Rooney on several occasions and nothing has changed, he is not for sale and he's been told that Rooney looks in the best shape for some time. I just feel all this is very one sided, it's all generic from Moyes and United and deep down what does the player want? Is he folding his arms and saying "It's time for me to go" and United are papering over cracks, I really don't know but I'd love to hear how Rooney feels.

Hate Cricket and hate Rugby so all this is killing me, can't come quick enough. Aaaaaarrrrgggghhhhh

Like I said earlier in the thread, years ago when he was at Boro I was installing TV's and we got a job that came in for his house. He lived in a beautiful part of the country in Harrogate not far from Leeds, which was about an hour journey to Middlesbrough. It was a converted barn and all the doorways where about 5ft 11 high and he's well over 6ft and it was hilarious seeing him duck under every doorway as he made his way through the house. Really nice bloke, got some nice memorabilia off him including gloves and balls etc.

David Moyes on Talksport in the next few minutes, can't see him saying anything different but will be an interesting listen.

Look it's the Queen.
