Wayne Rooney

[ulsterchelsea 3,221]

It really isn't. If Rooney makes an official transfer request and makes it clear there is no way of a turn-around he will be sold if the right offer comes in. It's completely stupid to keep a player that has no want to be there, not to mention the money we could bring in. If we wait one more year, the price drops, probably quite dramatically. We're a Football Club firstly, but we operate as a business, and keeping him would make no sense from that stand point.

The whole 'we want to keep him' is simply a stance made for maximum leverage no matter what the clubs decision is. Nobody even knows if we really want to keep him. There was a meeting quite a while ago, I wonder if it was decided there and then to sell.

It's a simple decision if it comes to it.

What your Opinion of what going on?

What your Opinion of what going on?

Rooney is collecting his rattles and hoping our fans don't boo him off the park next season.

This isn't wishful thinking. Rooney lost all of my support in 2010.

Yeah, apart from Fergie saying otherwise, he has denied this transfer request and he hasnt had much to Say about it during our bid. I think theres not much to happen

Top post, if Rooney wants to go it would be difficult for the board to keep him but the main question remains that are the board convincing Rooney to stay or are they waiting for a transfer request of him.I still dont understand why he wants to go.

Obviously but thats what Im saying,him not being in their kit launch means nothing. v persie isnt in it either and he's hardly leaving! People are jumping to all Sorts of conclusions for example

A husband left his wife a lovely surprise,now that could be 1,000,000 things but what do the media go for?

2+2=100

I know, the big difference is Rooney is a bankable player and was always in big posters, big images of United.It surprises me to see Welbeck as the main player in their megastore for the new kit and to not see Rooney there.I just compared the Lampard saga with Rooney's one because both are very important for the image of Chelsea and United.The board sacrificed Lampard because of contracts talks just like United are doing with Rooney.

He wants to go because he isn't guaranteed that starting role in his favorite position. Rooney's position at United was summed up by him being dropped in their biggest game last season against Madrid at OT, that was the biggest indication yet.

That sounds pretty clear to me, it's all in Rooney's hands.

If he wants to move, than he has to request a transfer, i would welcome him here. If not, then money is more important for him (fidelity bonuses) and in that case i don't want him here.

The bonuses ain't small mate, £3m or so are not small at all.

if you want to move and you'll get a 200k a week deal, than you can lose out on 3m. if not, than stay and enjoy the bench.

[mediator 2,026]

Yeah i know it but and Man U is a great team.

But what's the most important thing for him? Money and being the second fiddle and being the main target again.

This choice is not simple at all. I think that's the right time for him to request the transfer. Man U can still find a replacement and it would be easier for us to offload one striker that would become surplus to requirement in time.

Wayne if you read this, GO NOW

The choice is simple IMO, he stays at United and is a bit part player to a manager who calls him a 'Back up'

Or

He comes here to a manager that appreciates him, gets his favorite position and earns just as much.

[nadavTKL 1,787]

Theres a possible, reasonable reason why he's yet to request a transfer?

Maybe Utd inform him they will sell him after they'll get their businesses done?

It all stemmed from the Real game and his over-bearing self-worth. He assumes he should start every game 'cause his name is Wayne Rooney. If memory serves I think he was going through a tough patch and Fergie simply weighed things up and decided we couldn't afford to give Real the ball needlessly - a Rooney trait. He went for Nani and got the call totally correct. Nani had Madrid worried every time he got the ball. In the end he was the difference. If that incident with the referee didn't happen we would of probably put them out.

Why couldn't he accept that? He could of played the next games possibly. Real under Jose were far too devastating on the counter to play both Nani and Rooney. Playing our most explosive player over Rooney was a stroke of genius if it had of played out fairly. There is no 'me' in team. End of the day he's went to see SAF frustrated and said something he didn't mean. I mean look at all the players who have left United. Even Ronaldo hasn't achieved the same level of success. I don't think even Rooney is stupid enough to overlook this.

It looks like he's trying to let it all blow over by staying extremely quiet.
