Jype 6,398 Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 Some hack journo writing for the Guardian just suggested Moyes should ask for both Mata AND Luiz in a straight swap deal for Rooney. Went on to say that it could be a good deal for everyone. And these people actually get paid to write this shit? If we really wanted to get rid of Mata and Luiz, we could easily sell them to Real Madrid, Barcelona or PSG in a blink of an eye for £60m combined and then use half of that money to buy Rooney without giving one of our main title rivals some of the best players in the league in exchange. But why the fuck would we do that either when we can keep both of them and still buy Rooney, it's not like the club are in a desperate need for money and the idea is not to buy a player just for the sake of buying but instead because Mourinho wants to improve the team.

The Mak 4,459 Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 I'm sorry mate but you have completely lost the plot here, I get the impression you are quite angry too.Rooney is English, can play more than one position and is bloody good at it, that's why buying him makes sense.I will look forward to your response full of swear words, angry retorts and dismissive quotes....Oh and if you want you can shot a load of smilies in their too.Listen mate, you were the one who asked me 'do you know anything about football?' on a footballing forum, so don't expect hugs and kisses as a response.Anyway, we were first discussing Moyes stance of 'he's not for sale' and that Rooney needs to hand in a transfer request. You said that the way Moyes was carrying on was a disgrace and that Rooney had already handed in a transfer request.I said Moyes is acting the way he is to test Rooney's resolve to stay at the club or the get the most out of him if he wants to leave. Which makes it spot on behaviour to be honest. I also said that this would force him to hand in a transfer request to which would forfeit any bonus he may receive.Now both of my views, as opposed to yours, were confirmed the very next day:http://www1.skysports.com/football/news/11668/8827602/Transfer-news-Chelsea-have-a-bid-for-Wayne-Rooney-turned-down"Manchester United told them to go away rather abruptly and told them also that Wayne Rooney is not for sale. That's the mantra the club have been sticking to since this situation began."If they want to get rid of the player, they want to make sure that his value is protected and, by saying he is not for sale, it means the games can begin."http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/2013/jul/17/wayne-rooney-manchester-united-transfer-requestManchester United are playing hardball with Wayne Rooney over his future, with the striker having to lodge an official transfer request if he wants to leave the club. United are unmoved regarding their position that the striker is not for sale.So if anyone was talking out of their arse, it's you. Therefore I'd rather not read your posts anymore. Now go put me on ignore and i'll happily do the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

petre.ispirescu 4,928 Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 Abou rags like the mirror, mail, sun and star....I'd go in this order:The GuardianBBCSky SportsThe TimesIndependentTrust 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.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. A top 6, in no particular order.1. BBC2. Sky Sports3. The Independent4. The Telegraph5. The Guardian6. The TimesThank you, guys, I really appreciate it!

Term-X 7,891 Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 Number 8 should be reitred 1-11 numbers should never be retired, only small clubs retire them. Football clubs are eternal, they will live on until the sun destroys the earth, Lampard is pretty insignificant in the grand scheme of things.

I wouldn't mind if the old days returned when the starting XI wore the number 1-11. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Term-X 7,891 Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 It's a small-club 'mentality' thing to do then.. I.e.. 'that's as good as it's going to get'/'won't get any better than this' etc. Not moving forward, not letting another generation make it's mark, maybe that's one of the many factors as to why italian football is in the state it's in.
