Wayne Rooney

[Leif 6,006]

That was the exact same that was said about Torres when we signed him, he looks bored, a new challenge will get him back to his best so on and so fourth.

I think that was more of an excuse some of us made for him than an actual feeling people shared though. Anyone who was watching him before we signed him could see his legs were absolutely gone. Rooney still has his pace and engine. He's a very fit (no not that way) player.

Come on Wayne, push through with the move. You know it makes sense. Would absolutely LOVE to see him in our shirt next season.

[Leif 6,006]

If only Drogba was still here But anyway, you can't really deny the fact that he does suit our shade of blue. To me this does actually look 'right':

Same. It ticks all the boxes for me. And if we need a goal with 20 mins to go or so, we can push rooney a little bit deeper, put the fridge on and then have Hazard, Mata, Rooney, etc all supplying him.

Why has rooney got Kalou's Hand?

[Leif 6,006]

Do we need another homegrown/English player in the team next season? Like are we actually lacking one to comply with the rules? I genuinely cannot see Blackman getting promoted (and even if he does, Lamps will be leaving next season probably and the club will want to have another homegrown player ready to try fill his void) & if it's true we haven't even been talking to Napoli this whole time then I'm actually kinda confident this will happen. We are Chelsea after all.

Extraordinary player when on form. Who wouldn't want a Rooney/Lukaku strike force?

[Christo191 173]

Let me think about it. Yes, Yeah, Mhmm, Mhmm... Pros and Cons, Pros and Cons...* when I'm imagening Shrek in a blue shirt, I want to press this button again, and again and again* http://nooooooooooooooo.com/

I've said it 100000 times to various people that Rooney will come here. Mourihno has always liked him and stated he'd love to work with him. He wasn't available then but he is now Jose. He'd flourish under Jose as the main striker, and he's English. I bet Wayne wants to come to us. And don't forget.... "once a blue,always a blue" on his t-shirt for Everton back in 2003 lol. Also we have Soho down here Wazza!

If he signs i will pray i get proved wrong, but i think he has peaked back in 2004 and 2010 i would have paid a little bit towards the transfer itself, but not now.

[Leif 6,006]

Rooney reminds me of Eto'o a bit and it was always Jose's dream transfer to have someone like Eto'o partner Drogba. Rooney - Lukaku would be amazing in theory.

Rooney is half cheper than cavani, he is PL proven, diferent type of stiker than Lukaku, can play anywhere in attack (as Cam with lukaku upfront).

Cavani is better striker BUT he isnt worth 60mio EVER. some of you expect him to score loads of goals ala messi but he could have same effect as he is having in Confeds cup. Serie A is weak, even Di Natale and Totti score loads of goals there...

Oh the old PL proven thing, we could have signed Aguero in 2011 but got PL proven Torres instead

[The Rising Sun 709]

He would be good for us if we were to play 4-4-2

Lukaku-Rooney

Forward line is devastating.

[Ryan Fong 2,776]

Everybody would love Cavani signs, but for that stupid amount of money, we could do something a lot better and wiser, Rooney plus a world class DM will probably cost less than a Cavani.

Plus, I always think Rooney is a better fit for our system. Imagine Hazard, Mata, Oscar/KdB and Rooney upfront, drooling awesome, goals assists creativities will flow like a fucking fire hose.

[petr.breu 1,618]

I would definitely prefer him to Cavani, but I don't want him here...

[Ryan Fong 2,776]

I'm convinced he's only got 2 options in this transfer window, he either stays or joins us.

Really can't think of him moving abroad unless it's America or Australia but that's impossible, can't think of him joining Arsenal neither because no one is that stupid while you have the chance to join Chelsea as well. That leaves the only question which is whether United is willing to sell him to us or not. Personally as much as I want him here, I just can't see that happened.

[Magic Lamps 11,677]

The question is whether Utd would strengthen a title rival. If I were them I'd rather park Rooney in the stands for a whole season then sell to us.
