Wayne Rooney

I'd prefer if we went and got Fabregas ahead of Utd, rather then funding that deal by going for Rooney

[CHOULO19 24,332]

It is on their official website.

Wasn't talking about this one in particular (as I did not check), but it does seem to be a new trend on Twitter to add (Telegraph) or (SSN) to completely made up rumors and they tend to spread fast.

so if Spurs aiming this guy Chadli to be Bale's replacement, then Bayern should look in Arouna Kone and Gervinho to replace Ribery

AVB had the chance to be named Paris' coach and he said no to them, also he said no to Barcelona couple of days ago and I'm pretty sure Bale won't leave this summer, too. They think they can challenge the title this season or make it into the TOP4 and shit like that...

Smartass

Deal will be done after league game IMO. And I bet he misses the game due to a "knock"

Chelsea are growing increasingly confident of signing Manchester United striker Wayne Rooney for £30m. (Daily Mirror)

Chelsea Confident Over £30m Rooney But Deal Delayed Until Late August

[The Skipper 20,593]

According to some guy on SSN earlier Wayne Rooney is training hard and wants to be fit and ready to play in Manchester United's friendly on August 6th.

@WayneRooney is sold on Mourinho & #CFC by a series of exchanges with Lampard and Cole and wants a transfer to Stamford Bridge (Times) #MUFC

[gary gordon 1,777]

I still reckon United will wait till the last day of the transfer window to sell him to us. It will rule him out of the game at OT, and disrupt our pre-season. If that happens, I hope we don't sign him and they're stuck with a pissed off scouser in the dressing room. Either way, the ball is in Wayne's court.

What is he implying by that though? That Rooney doesn't intend on forcing a transfer?

I don't know, he seems to be contradicting himself as he then went on to say that bridges between United and Rooney are still burnt. He also said United won't let Rooney go until they complete two big money signings.

I think what he is implying is that this saga could well continue on into mid/late August.

where on ESPN mate

[ChelseaFanUK 1,014]

I got SSN and must have missed that Rooney stuff about wanting to play in the August friendly. Mind you, I think it is Rio's testimonial so understandable

LOOOOL

Brilliant.

I don't know whether to be encouraged or discouraged about Rooney's silence.

On one hand, him not immediately squashing a move away on his official site or twitter makes me think he definitely wants out, but on the other hand, he could be keeping quiet and letting the speculation and possibility of him wanting to go to a title rival rampant as a ploy to force them to give him a new deal.

Wish he'd just put in a transfer request to speed things up. Really don't want to wait until deadline day where he'll have no preseason to aclimate and settle with his new teammates and manager. Plus he'd miss the United match.

I watched it,all he said was:Rooney is training hard and is willing to play in utds friendly in Sweden & utd won't sell Rooney untill they have signed 1 or 2 marquee signings and he can see this saga dragging on past utd vs chelsea fixture

[Hutcho 8,443]

Either United are gonna sell him to a rival and make money out of it, or they will have an unhappy player on their hands. I reckon they are stalling in the hope they can sell him to somewhere else.
