Wayne Rooney

[Azpinator 2,325]

No one is saying this. But without a forward who can score a decent amount of league goals, we aint winning the league. Simple as that.

What a great mentality! You know what? the other players should adapt it and like surrender if Mr Golden Boy ever gets injured/suspended because there would be not point in playing without him.

wow, talk about stretching a statement.

No, I had an opinion on that statement regarding the player we're talking about. Sorry if I overreacted 'cause I thought that's what people do in this topic. My bad.

I don't think we're suffering on shirt or other merch sales for that matter. So I think claiming that Wazaa is all about shirt sales is a bit ridiculous to claim. I however probably would buy one just for causing butthurt to United supporting friends. So then again maybe that theory holds up......

If we wanted shirt sales, Kagawa and Beckham would be here.

Kagawa? Expect Japanese no one else will buy his kit.

that's still a lot of jerseys. Any foreign player playing in a top club usually sells a lot of jerseys.

No because Hazard is more popular than Kagawa and Beckham doesn't want to come here.

Usually some fans in Asia will still buy the shirt even the player is not from their respective country, as long as the player is from Asia.

I know, but rarely. I must admit I'm biased when it comes to Japanese players though. I'll stop here before I drag the history between China and Japan into this.

Anyway, Hazard owns Kagawa.

[Sidzeret 2,257]

BENZEMA.

Plus I'm pretty certain Rooney wants to stay in England.

He doesn't want to be the next Michael Owen... Fucking up his gud career at Madrid and returning to a mid-table premiership side. His best option is Chelsea and i think he knows dat.

Not only China all east-Asia countries hate Japan

Lukaku looks good... Rooney is always the best option. Torres will probably leave January if he isn't working out and Ba, I really don't know what José will do with him.

Chelsea ready to raise the stakes in pursuit of Wayne Rooney by offering Manchester United £40m deal

that would be awesome. Telegraph is pretty reliable too.

Japan was a big jerk and terrible in the past, but its the past. I find it ridiculous when i meet people who hate japanese people because of what happened during a war they themselves had no part of. Its in our history books as well how they just went through korea to get to China, even in the present there are still heated conflicts(google: dokdo). But if we use this mindset then might as well hate all the germans too? I might as well not like the Chinese for helping the north koreans. But I couldnt care less

I would just forgive and let it go to be honest.

And the Japanese football market is huge, kagawa alone wouldve sold tons of shirts not to mention the marketing in Japan, Asia is probably the biggest market with the biggest potential. Chelsea is smart to have preseason there.

It seems to me, the deal with Rooney is inevitable. Personally, I was doubting it, but now I believe Rooney insisted to leave.

Despite his reputation, Rooney will become a great acquisition for Chelsea. Him on board, Chelsea could win the PL, even this season.

Don't jump to conclusion there, I personally don't hate any Japanese civilians because like you said they have nothing to do with the war.

I just simply said the fact that not many people in Asia will buy a Kagawa kit except Japanese.

Let's stop right here and back to Rooney.

It is not an option, winning or come very close to winning BPL this season is a must in order for Jose's first season to be considered anything but a failure, of course we could win CL and still consider it a success...etc but BPL is the priority for the board atm.
