Jype 6,398 Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 Mourinho talking openly about a bid for Rooney on the club's official website is exactly like last year when Ferguson admitted they had made a bid for Van Persie but Arsenal wouldn't sell. Look how that turned out. To me, Mourinho's approach to this has been spot on. First he made a subtle hint of his interest by saying it's for the good of the national team that Rooney leaves and by doing that he also gained support from many neutrals who want what's best for England. Then he has gone on to unsettle the player even more by admitting a bid has been made and that it's now up to Rooney and Manchester United to react to this bid. The way I see it, the ball is now in Rooney's court and if he's serious about leaving he must hand in an official transfer request, thereby waiving any loyalty bonuses and such. That's the only way they're going to sell because clearly it's the player's decision and not the club's.This is happening, people. Things have been said and there's no turning back this time. Rooney is as good as gone and I can't see anyone else getting him than us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

killer1257 3,282 Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 Well worth it if we won 3 titles over the span of his 5 year contract. Think he's good enough to help us do that.If he scores 100 goals or more over the span of his 5 year contract,he is maybe worth the amount of salary and the transfer fee,but I do not think that he is good enough to do that.

ChelseaFanUK 1,014 Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 I did not hear Jose say he wont bid again for Rooney. It is July 17th, opening bid, do you honestly believe he wouldnt go back in?Sky sports got their wires crossed imo where he said "no other bids" (for other players) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
