bushman 2,043 Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 Roonski on or off ?At 27 he is the perfect age to join with Jose. He can play across the forward line, behind the main striker too.Currently, Chelsea lacks competition for up front. Fernando or BA ain´t it, I feel.His wages are astronomical, I read. Is he worth it ?Most likely, Roonski will hand in a formal transfer soon. Then, we will see what happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spike 12,049 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.That's only one way to look at it. Inter for instance only retired number 3 after Giacinto Facchetti passed away in 2006, the man that gave over 40 years of service to that club and only that club. I don't buy into the idea that any club has the 'mentality' to retire a shirt because 'that's as good as it's going to get'/'won't get any better than this', intentional or not. I believe that's just an entirely cynical and negative view on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe that's just an entirely cynical and negative view on it. Killing off a number for that reason seems a little contradictory. Because the whole idea of United's number 7 (for example) is that by giving it to another player.. it keeps the legacy of former players alive. It gives the number an identity and immortalises those who made it famous for that club. When Michael Owen got it, their fans instantly thought he wasn't good enough to wear the number worn by [said legend]. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mouri_Matic 560 Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 Btw if you are wondering why Rooney hasn't handed in a transfer request long ago publicly is because of his loyal bonus, if he hand it in I think he will lose it. Heard it is like £2-£3m so it is not peanut either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DavidEU 2,023 Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 What does he mean? Is he talking about Rooney being second choice?

nachikethas 1,154 Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 Rooney should be fapping out there after hearing all these comments about him by Jose! Sure even his wife would haven't said that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Skipper 20,609 Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 But what does that say about Lukaku and Torres's WC chances when they become 2nd and 3rd choices?Lukaku will understand. He'll get plenty of game time if we do sign Rooney due to Rooney's versatility. Hopefully the latter will realise that he needs to move in order to stand a chance though which is only good news for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BleedsBlue 1,549 Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 We try to tempt Rooney with a fair bid and United respond by trying to fabricate stories to unsettle Mata and Luiz.Jose is going to CRUSH them now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheCount 146 Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 Anyone else just flat out not want him? Utd legend, a bit of a scumbag (and a scouser to boot )I'd almost be like utd buying drogba, not quite as bad, but you catch my drift.He's been pretty poor for the last couple of years to, and he's stagnated as a player, Mourinho could probably get the best out of him all the same but i'd far rather we get someone else. Someone our own. Fuck these hand me down dead weight rival clubs legends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bir_CFC 3,455 Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 The Daily Mail should be sued for making up the 10m + Luiz/Mata rumour. They didn't make it up though. United themselves leaked that fake story to unsettle Chelsea and try to shut the door on Chelsea's move for Rooney. However, it backfired cause Chelsea came out right away and shot it down. United really fked up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The transfer itself could also signify a power shift if we do go on to win the league with Mourinho and United fade out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
