Wayne Rooney

[Tricky 301]

The mail have gone with a super piece of shit tonight saying that Roo will decide his future based on the fickle reaction of the fans in the next 2 games

Mail just make up crap, they do it so there in line advertising have to pay for hits to the page in question. That particularly story doesn't even pretend o have a source, pure guesswork, embarrassing for all this right wing middle englanders who read that tripe!

Chelsea are thought to be preparing a final £40m bid for Wayne Rooney #cfc #mufc

Also reported by the independent and the telegraph, I think yesterday. The rumour's been hanging in the air for some time now.

[John1611 77]

Can't wait for some concrete breakthrough. Keep looking up news in hope, yet nothing significant is likely to happen before the end of next week, and more likely before the last few days of the transfer window.

Rooney would be a bull's eye in terms of what we need to claim the highest honours this season. Not saying it's not possible without him, yet still...

You only have to watch Lukaku and co against these mediocre teams we're playing, to know they are not going to cut it against the big boys. I still can't believe we have signed no one at this stage, when we certainly had options - Cavani, Falcao, Negredo, Jovetic, Soldado, Higuain, Gomez, Bony - all upgrades over what we have, but we didn't even try to sign any.

Of course Rooney is better than some on that list, but no team goes into the window with just 1 target, there has to be a Plan B or even C

Lol. It just goes on and on. And on.

And on.

I was going over FPL and after Van persie , the next most used Striker is Lukaku at 23%.

Not saying that FPL is any sort of directive, as there are alot of variables. but fans from all around england are tipping him to rip teams apart.

Somehow its only on here that people think he wont score 20 PL goals after scoring some 17 for West brom not even being a consistent starter.

I really hope we dont sign Rooney and this lad gets a shot at glory.

He wont disappoint.

Dont get me wrong if we get Rooney, i will be glad, but a small part of me will be very sad as well.

If only we could play formations with 2 strikers up front, that would make this Rooney signing so damn good, Rooney and Lukaku leading the line.

There is no point in playing Rooney in the hole as we have way better players in that position.

There was similar talk of Sturridge not being the one to "win us the premier league", and while that had other factors such as his selfishness etc, look how well he is doing at a club that is giving him the chance to lead the line, while many Chelsea fans regret selling him.

Lukaku is at a very similar situation, and we should IMHO give him that shot.

As if the fans reaction will decide the outcome. So suddenly, after about 2months of wanting out, he will suddenly consider staying if he is not booed. Never heard such shit in my life. The guy has not denied one story, either via a statement or a representative, about wanting to leave and come here. So fans booing is not going to matter one inch, if anything, fans booing him will just speed up the transfer request.

Daily Mail are unreal, christ.

The problem is, it is not that clear. Rooney might also wanted to leave in 2011 but a bigger paycheck was enough to convice him to stay obviously. As much as Torres is a self-possessed emo girl, Rooney is a spoilt princess (an extremely ugly spoilt princess), naive and immature, his money spared him to grow up, even for his move from everton he did not have to leave the liverpool-manchester sinkhole . he probably does not want out himself and is probably terrified himself what rumours and hatred his "unhappiness" has sparked. On the other hand he wants to play, he wants to be the star man but he himself has not resigned to the imagination of leaving. that is why he has not forced through the necessary move with required tenacity. AFter his sorehead act, which first of all only should pressurize the management to guarantee him a starting spot he is now desparately hoping for everything to blow over and his little world to get fixed for him somehow.

Thanks. Wonderful post mate !

I think the difference between Chelsea and West Brom is that teams played very open vs them where vs us there is hardly much room behind back four for strikers like torres ba and lukaku to thrive.. Jose sees this and thats why he is after rooney if not rooney we need a player that can link up when teams have 10 behind the ball that will help with breaking them down by quick passes..

Lukaku scored a hat trick against United. And he didn't even play in the first half of that match.

they had already won the league by then

Negredo - he's mediocre for those levels. I dont think he's better than Ba or Lukaku, maybe even Torres.

Jovetic- Jovetic isnt a real striker.

Falcao, Gomez - not the type of strikers as Rooney- what Jose wants. And Falcao cost 60m.

Soldado, Higuain, Bony - thats not a big upgrade imo. And like Gomez and Falcao they cant bring what Rooney can.

Cavani - we were interested i think, but he cost 63m.

And btw, if we want Rooney and we're working on him, you think we could make other deals to not happen in the same time? i mean other teams wanted those strikers, but we didnt want them like Rooney, so what did you thought will happen? they cant stay available becuase we want them to... and you cant buy a player and then regret it becuase you got Rooney in the end. Rooney is a though deal and we decided to go for that. And we dont know, maybe its a done deal for some time.

If we wont get Rooney, and some striker will be available in the market who Jose likes, maybe we'll go for him.
