BlueLyon 9,359 Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 Because most of them are shit.Most of them yes, but Rooney isnt. Still we are a fucking english club, we NEED to have own players. The main reason why english league is moving backwards behind Laliga and Buli is because all big clubs buy foreign players. Instead of raising own english players or at least buy them from other clubs... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ashleyng 6 Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 i don't think United would sell Rooney to us. They are not Arsenal. Their board are smart.Lets just go for Falcao Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
themightyblue 443 Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 With the recent rumours of Falcao to Monaco, Lewandowski to Bayern and Cavani to Madrid/City there won't be many top tier available strikers left. Signing Rooney for 25m-30m wouldn't be that bad, especially when you consider Falcao and Cavani are costing close to 60m euros each! Another important thing to consider is that he's at the perfect age where in time we'd slowly be able to faze Lukaku into the first team, rather than signing a 24 year old striker which would make it harder for Lukaku in future Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cosmin 2,484 Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 I am afraid he is past his best, but if Jose wants him... Well, I trust his judgement better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ulsterchelsea 3,221 Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 I am afraid he is past his best, but if Jose wants him...

ulsterchelsea 3,221 Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 What is the constant need on here to be superior or be right all the time and be able to laugh at people who are wrong or wrong in peoples opinion. Small dick complex? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Special Juan 28,141 Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 This is just a small ripple in the water that will be somewhat a massive wave when the madness of the summer window opens.If you can allow yourself not to get dragged in you will be fine, if not, your head will fart until the end of the window.

CHOULO19 24,332 Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 I really don't get the argument the he's had a poor season or that he's past it. He ha 12 PL goals this season and is one of only three players (with Mata and Walcott) to get into double figures in both goals and assists in the PL this season and all that while playing out of his usual striker position. http://www.independent.co.uk/sport/football/premier-league/wayne-rooney-ready-for-a-uturn-after-manchester-united-install-david-moyes-8610168.htmlHAHA!!! when he stays alot of people on here are going to feel pretty stupid for getting excited over this guy! especially when he probably scores past us next season and kisses the united badge in front of our fans!

BlueLion. 21,491 Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 I can't see Rooney moving abroad. He can't even speak English, so how the fuck would he learn French or German? He'd struggle with Cockney ffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EskWeston 696 Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 You would think we would have learned our lesson of buying forwards who have seemingly passed the peak of their powers!!Rooney COULD be very good for us, but i do not think it is worth the risk at all and we would be better off looking elsewhere...

OneMoSalah 8,886 Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 If we sign him there are many pluses, as the posted above has put a few I think I will add some too. 1) Shirt sales is a big one, probably be bigger than Torres for us tbh. 2) As Mata and Torres have done, a potential sponsorship deal with Adidas. Imagine Adidas adverts with both Torres and Rooney, two players who have been endorsing Nike products for many years, both playing for Chelsea.3) Home grown player with many years left, mainly his peak years. 4) Versatile, he can play CM, CAM, ST which will suit Jose as he will be able to utilize him in many different positions due to injuries/suspensions if needed. 5) Playing in say CM, allows the likes of Lukaku and Feruz in the future to get much more chance of getting games here. 6) Very experienced, its not like hes a lad whos been playing in the lower teams in the PL is it? 7) Scores 15 goals plus a season at least, which is good. Can score upto 30 maybe even 40 in a really really good season. 8) Will be very ambitious if he moves here to prove he is still more than good enough, which he is. 9) On technical ability, the best English player. 10) Hes a game changer, can create something out of nothing, eg. that pass for Van Persie's sublime volley vs Aston Villa.Sure hes on 250k p/w but can't we just give him a big sign on fee and ask him to lower his wages?Plus we pay Lampard and Terry 175k p/w and they sit on the bench half the time... even though they deserve such wages after successful service at the club over the last 10 years or so.Benayoun and Malouda make a lot too, so getting them off the wage bill will give us a bit more help in terms of wages and FFP if this were to go ahead.
