Wayne Rooney

[bluesman2610 1,347]

Foe a guy who had his leg ripped open beginning of the season to being in and out of the side I can see why people do not want him here... to their point it did seem like a lack luster season.. and you may want to listen to the media about rooney having fitness issues in the past.. but a fit rooney which usually happens by week 4 or 5 of the PL season is an animal.. I know people have beaten the workrate thing to death but for a centre foward playing out of position to get as many goals and assists he did in less then a full 38 league appearance is pretty impressive.. not only that but he did a lot of link up as well his defending from set pieces and open play was very good..

for the right price even though he has been united for last 8 seasons would welcome here into our squad.. like some fellow forum members I do not believe he his finished yet and could be very good for us with the team we have now assembled

Petr hopes Roo will Cech in

The Czech stopper said: “Wayne Rooney is a great player but at the moment he’s a Man United player.

“We’ll see what’s going to happen. He’s a great player. Let’s see.

I'd believe it more if it was 23rd of July - not 23th...

You got me! I'm a Dailymail journo

Edit: Have mercy on my grammer, i promise i will get better by time.

Although I liked Alex's post about wanting this to go until the end of August so we can make ManUtd look like fools (more than they already look by now), there's the down side to this prolonging: those transfer sagas get tiring after a while.

I stopped checking the Cavani thread for 2 weeks before he was confirmed on PSG... there are so many fabricated stories and rumors... it's tiring. So yeah a part of me wants this to go on until the very last minute, the other part of me will avoid this thread until then so I don't read the stupid rumors coming next we'll give Hazard + 20m for Rooney

José is schooling ManUtd though

Is this the place that i've been dreaming of? Rooney in Chelsea blue

[Jype 6,398]

Every time when United won title, there were other players more important than Rooney. Ronaldo, Berbatov and recently Rvp. When Rooney scored shit load of goals, last and 2009/10 season, united wasnt champion. He still had impact in game though, but wasnt the very main key.

Food for thought.

Comparing Rooney to Van Persie is harsh. Back in 2011/12 when Van Persie was still at Arsenal they were both equally good and they really wouldn't even have needed RvP last season because getting him had a negative effect on Rooney's game when he couldn't play as a striker anymore. Had they decided against buying Van Persie and stuck with Rooney as their main striker, I'd say they would still have won the title comfortably and it would have been Rooney scoring almost 25 league goals instead of Van Persie. Maybe Ferguson wanted something new in Van Persie just because he knew it was going to be his last season or maybe he knew about Rooney's plans to leave the club so he opted to buy another world class striker beforehand to make sure the club will still be in a good position once Rooney's gone.

A lot of maybes there but one thing's for sure. Rooney is still one of the best strikers in the world and back in 2011/12 when he still got to play in his favoured position he was arguably Manchester United's most important player when they only lost the title to Manchester City by goal difference. Overall 34 goals in 44 matches that season with 12 of them scored against the Top6 teams in the Premier League is not something one does if he's shit.

This guy feeding off Mata, Hazard and Scurlle is quite worrying.

Replace Schurlle with de bruyne and we can start jizzing all over...

Form is temporary, class is permanent.

Tell that to Torres............

Manchester United will not sell Wayne Rooney even if he hands in a formal transfer request (Mirror) #CFC #MUFC

[Hannah 200]

United are adamant they will not sell as they brace themselves for a written transfer request from their unhappy striker.

But Chelsea are still poised to make a second offer of around £24m after their original £20m bid was rejected.

I'll be angry if we wont get him and wont go for anyone else instead.

[Hutcho 8,443]

If we get him... Great.

If we don't... Lukaku we are all behind you.

José is clearly playing mind games here. He first compliments the guy a lot, then shows concern about being benched impacting England NT and then he says it's him or no one else. He wants to inflate Wayne's ego and then stroke it. He knows that might be the key.

He's trying to convince Rooney with his words across the world, the financial part isn't with him and he isn't in contact with ManUtd.

If we end up without another striker isn't because Mourinho wanted Rooney or no one else, it's because we couldn't find the right guy for a fair price.
