Fernando 6,585 Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 United was attractive because of SAF but let's not discount the fact they are one of the biggest teams in the world here, and regardless of Moyes they are still a big pull, massive in fact.We fall in love with Jose because he is special, special to this club and not only that but a special manager. Jose is, and will be a big pull in transfers for whoever we go for, anyone top notch player or young kid would want to work under him, so yes, Jose is massive for us.Again you fail to see that it's about money, location as the most popular today. Look even with out Mourinho we got hazard, Mata, Oscar, and such. Why? Because of the "project" Good money and good location. Yes having someone like saf or Mourinho is nice, but the bigger factors in today's modern world is what I mentioned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DDA 9,941 Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 Sorry for being offtopic, but I have a question for those living in England - every day I'm reading all kind of tweets and quotes and so on. Can you please name the most reliable newspapers/sources from English media? A top5 maybe?Trust absolutely nothing until it's officially reported on Sky Sports News. Don't mistake Sky Sports News rumours for deals being confirmed. The rest are all rumours built on events. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robsblubot 3,595 Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 No disrespect intended but what strengths would De Rossi bring to the team?Better rounded player who can defend and contribute to attacking (numbers don't lie)? for some reason don't think we are going to change your mind though.

Pizy 18,934 Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 Just as I predicted earlier today: http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/gareth-bale-transfer-manchester-united-2060737They'll use Bale to soften the blow of losing Rooney and to appease the angry fans. This is why the guy flew out of Australia I think. Us bidding for Rooney probably sped up the process of them going for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, no I was just asking. I haven't read much about De Rossi and it that sounds like it would be very helpful for our midfield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr_President 404 Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 Sorry for being offtopic, but I have a question for those living in England - every day I'm reading all kind of tweets and quotes and so on. Can you please name the most reliable newspapers/sources from English media? A top5 maybe?Generally, the most reliable papers/sites tend to be the BBC/Sky Sports - But they only tend to report on stuff when it is 99.9% done. (EDIT: Having said this, the BBC are in serious decline with their standards of sports journalism, not just in football but F1 etc.)Then come the papers such as the Telegraph, Guardian, Times and Sunday Times which are more reputable than the likes of the Sun, Metro, Star, Express, Daily Mail etc.. which, quite honestly, I would not use for toilet paper. Though, most of these papers have 'gossip' or 'rumour' sections which they will use to post far-fetched transfer rumours or just re-hash another story from a different paper - bottom line is take everything with a pinch of salt.

Magic Lamps 11,692 Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 Utd won't sell him to us unless they get in real trouble as there is the possibility this move can be title-deciding. Anyway they have to see they can't keep Rooney without ruining the spirit in the whole team. At the same time they can't simply sick Rooney into the reserves as we did Malouda. We paid Flo-Mo what? 100k a week? Rooney will cost almost three times that much while not playing. They have to sell him and as long as he sits it out, they also have to sell him to the club Rooney desires. If that is us, I do not know. Still there might be another club coming up with crazy money, but the options are limited. Can you imagine Rooney in France or Spain? ManCity is not an option, neither is Arsenal.

Bir_CFC 3,455 Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 Let's just use some logic here:Chelsea wants to buy Rooney:1.can we afford him? No, let's offer Mata or Luiz.2. can we afford him? Yes, let's bid.3. can we afford him? Yes, but United want Mata or Luiz in exchange.1 - not going to happen, because we have the money and mata and luiz arent for sale as confirmed by mou2 - most likely scenario3 - if this was the case united wouldn't have rejected the so called bidAlso, if we offered Mata and Luiz without knowing if United wanted them, that means Chelsea wants to sell them both which I don't believe because Mou denied it himself. And you can get a lot more than whatever Rooney will cost for Mata or Luiz, so a flat out sale is still more likely than a player exchange.So, I don't care who said what on the radio or whoever their source is, either Mou is a flat out liar and has no respect for Mata and Luiz or we just made a cash bid.Did I miss any other possible scenario?

Muzchap 8,966 Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 Sorry if already posted but this was on red cafePeople saying Rooney is shit - think they're mad!!! Rooney is our ideal player to take pressure off Mata when he needs a rest. Just look at our win percentage without Mata!!! This would be a great signing for us - absolutely fucking LEGENDARY. - this is like Zola / Drogba style transfer... People moaning at 80 million - add in merchandising and it will be about 50% less Edit: how do I post image from iPad???? FFS !!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
