Wayne Rooney

The moment people realize we wont be signing Rooney and wasted our time with him instead of signing Suarez will be priceless!

That was never an option, we never even wanted Suarez. To quote Jose: "It's Rooney or bust".

I hope chelsea dont sign rooney, he is expensive and past his peak...very similar situation to fernando torres when we bought him i hope we learned the lesson

Sigh... This is your first post? Hope the rest improve.

I can see this one going right to the end of the window simply because of the game at Old Trafford. There are so many permutations to be played out that I simply don't understand how anyone can be certain that this deal is dead in the water. He still has the biggest trump card left to play, which is the formal transfer request. The Glazers quite simply won't let him leave without him putting that in, but equally Rooney's people will be reluctant to do so until they absolutely have to so you have a stand-off at this point in time with both sides looking for the other to flinch.

He'll be at United next season. Which, in my opinion, would mark a significant psychological blow by Chelsea. Mourinho is trolling United so hard right now.

[Ollie 4,400]

Rooney will be awful next season if he stays there. win win. Can just imagine the headlines when Moyes leaves Rooney on the bench for the first game.

I still believe we'll sign someone big completely out of the blue by the time the season starts.

Out of the blue? big? who could that be? Zlatan stays at PSG, its Rooney or Suarez, that is it.

If united keep Rooney, it will haunt them the whole season. Whenever he is benched or under-performs the media won't let them hear the end of it.

[BleedsBlue 1,549]

So here's my view about this whole transfer saga-

We get Rooney,have a wonderful striker from a major rival club and may end up dominating the league.

We don't get him but still have a decent strike force and United will have a very fragile unsettled striker in their team.

End result of both possible outcomes- Moyes gets mindfucked throughout. LOL just gotta love Mourinho,using the Media as our 12th man.

And make the club look bad on paper by missing out on Falcao, Cavani, Rooney.

If they won their first match and Rooney is on the bench, the headline would be something like 'MU get their first win but Rooney is benched on Moyes's debut'.

[nadavTKL 1,787]

Without Rooney, our strike force we'll be decent only if Lukaku can turn himself into a monster, but in the biggest level this time. "Decent striker" for Chelsea is someone who is good enough to win everything for us.

If we missed out on Falcao and Cavani, we are missing out on Messi and Ronaldo too. Havent made a bid for anyone out of those 4 players.

The club will look bad becuase we didnt improve the most important thing we had to improve. Again, if Lukaku wont explode.

I think you're forgetting he was pretty much all of that last season and we won the league.

Whichever way you spin it the relation won't be ideal and that will only hurt united spirits and unsettle Moyes' in his first season managing a "big" club.

And we were never 'in' for Cavani and Falcao (except maybe under AVB).

I think you are forgetting you had a certain Alex Ferguson last season and now you have a certain David Moyes.

I'm not worried. Moyes wasn't my first choice preference admittedly, but I'm far from unhappy with him as manager. Of course it's a step down from what we had, but what wasn't?

A lot of non-untied fans are going after this for some reason. It's like they haven't noticed what Moyes has achieved with next to nothing at Everton.

Also take into account the vast amount of experience in our team. The team make the biggest impact in football, not the manager.

Coming from a guy whose team had one the best ever managers. That is strange, mate! For the past 2-3 seasons, you have had a pretty average squad but it was only because of your manager that you crossed the line as champions!
