BlueLion. 21,491 Posted August 3, 2013 Share Posted August 3, 2013 Rooney's made no noises. I don't expect him to join. I expect United to either flog him on the cheap to some European team, or for him to stay and cause havoc. Which is the best possible outcome for us.Time for Torres to prove his worth, and Lukaku deserves a shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pizy 19,264 Posted August 3, 2013 Share Posted August 3, 2013 I for be still think he'll be a Chelsea player. Not any time soon, unfortunately, but on deadline day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is the best possible outcome for us.Time for Torres to prove his worth, and Lukaku deserves a shot. what worth??? honestly speaking i ll be suprised if torres starts a PL match against the top 10 teams. what exactly can he offer that ba or lukaku cant? ba is definitely the better striker with the back to the goal.both ba and lukaku are better in hold up play.both are better in the air.both are far more clinical.both are far more physical.ba atleast is better when taking long range shots.lukaku is faster and can go past a defender which torres cant. so cant see how and why mou would start torres in a match against a "good" team. obviously torres will get his starts and score his quota of goals against league 2 teams in the fa cup and carling cup and dead rubber matches in the group stages of CL.

RVP is first choice and a superior player, and even he can't inspire a lacklustre team like United to the title next season. It's scary how far behind City they are in terms of squad depth.

JayC 171 Posted August 3, 2013 Share Posted August 3, 2013 Me too. Sometimes one has to rephrase one's thoughts for them to be recognized. So what will you make with Rooney? Unhappy player on outrageous wages in a squad role?It's hard to tell. I don't even know what Moyes' preferred formation will be with us. Will there be a trequartista role behind RvP? I would of thought so, and that will leave Rooney and Kagawa to fight for it. I don't think it was ever as simple as Rooney being RvP's back up. That's more like Hernandez for me personally. I know Moyes said it, but I really hope he doesn't see him as that. If I was pushed I'd say Kagawa would be better in behind RvP, but if Rooney can find form and happiness at our club again, it's a really tough call. Plus we know Rooney is good in quite a few positions, so he's very valuable. As far as the wages go - I've always thought they were extortionate.Bottom line - Rooney shouldn't be seen as RvP's back up. He can play in the team with RvP, and even with RvP and Kagawa. I don't really think his first team place is in jeopardy as long as he pulls his finger out. I think he's been given these reassurances and is now happy.

Which is the best possible outcome for us.Time for Torres to prove his worth, and Lukaku deserves a shot. I don't understand how can someone hope that Torres will wake up after 2,5 years, and he will be good enough for us. Ancelotti, AVB, Di Matteo, Benítez. Four coaches. Two different types of attacking players around him. 915 days since he joined. I not envy for those people who still have patience. You can say that he improved last year, but the striker, who scored only 8 goals in 36 matches in PL, that striker is full hopless. I always try to support our players, but for me, it was more than enough of him. I don't say that I want Rooney, but Torres has to leave in my opinion. Since 2011 January we speak about Torres... But it's not about Torres, it's about Chelsea. I would be happier with a no name striker, than with Torres. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ollie 4,400 Posted August 3, 2013 Share Posted August 3, 2013 It is looking less and less likely that this will happen but on the other hand, going quiet might mean the opposite. You never quite know with us. I still reckon he'll come. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mustafa 885 Posted August 3, 2013 Share Posted August 3, 2013 I hope there is a plan B somewhere if we do fail to get Rooney on deadline day, but there's not many options.We shouldve got Berbatov when we had the chance !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I think he said that so in case we don't get Shrek, he will start the new season and say he already said he is happy with our strikers so we didn't make any other signing.
