Wayne Rooney

[bushman 2,043]

Just now, I read Ronaldo is going nowhere. Manures are out of luck again.

There is still plenty of Rooney´s saga to read about. Therefore, keep hoping, wait & see.

#CFC Club Secretary D. Barnard was left in England to continue negotiations for Rooney but Mourinho believes he'll get his man.

Alot of people have been talking about the 8th august (tomorrow) will be a big day for Man Utd making a big announcement ......this maybe to do with a signing or Rooney.

Though where did this rumor come from was it a "reputable" source from the Twittasphere ?

A signing of Rooney?

If we sign rooney great.

If not then we have Lukaku and i personally wouldn't mind that. Sure it's a big step up to lead our line. But the guy has a lot of pure talent. And he is someone that, if he was successful could lead our line for a long time.

And if he is not we will fuck up again like last season.

Im the same I think Lukaku is going to be immense this season for Chelsea if given a regular string of games. I also think people are forgetting about Torres maybe under Jose he will feel a new buzz a new surge of energy and feel comfortable and enjoy playing his football as opposed to thinking what to do when the ball falls to his feet and panicking.

It's an area we have been burnt in before, our rivals such as City have Aguero, Dzeko and Negredo, United have RvP, Welbeck and Hernandez(Rooney looking very doubtful) So we need to be sure we are covering all bases and that if Torres fails to deliver we have adequate back up in Lukaku and Rooney (If he signs) as I think Ba will be loaned.

If Rooney joined he is guaranteed to start EVERY SINGLE GAME HE WANTS, providing he is fit and on form of course. There is no rotation because then it would be nothing difference from at MU for him. He is only moving here(if he moves) it is to start at ST REGULARLY. He will be untouchable here, partly because he would cost a lot to get and on highest wages out of the entire team. Just like when Torres was signed in 2011, Rooney will start always unless he becomes as crap as Torres was/injured/have a break up with Jose like Casillas.

Lukaku would then be back up all the time. Ba will probably be sold/loaned out, same with Torres but I don't think both will go/ maybe only one. Which ever stay will be 3rd choice.

I think you misinterpreted what I meant.

[Hutcho 8,443]

Yep thats the chance you take. But i think we can still be strong challengers with Lukaku upfront. And if this doesn't happen which to me seems very likely then we still have a great team and manager and if Jose is happy to go into the season without any extra cover in the striker department then i am fine with that.

Rooney wouldn't start all 55/60 games of the season. And lukaku will still get lots of minutes in sub appearances on top of the 15 starts he would probably get. And last season with west brom he wasn't a starter very often. And he is still young so its not like being second choice would negatively impact him.

But as i have said imo, if we get Rooney then great as we have a lot options, a great striker and someone who is very versatile. And if not well then Lukaku gets his big chance, and Torres will have to get his shit together to challenge for first spot.

[ChelseaFanUK 1,014]

go on then son, tell us how that would be a better deal for us than AFC.

Because 1 despite being a cracking player, he is a fucking scumbag he has missed like 25 games through bans in his time in England. Thats disgusting. If you'd asked me in the summer id of still taken Rooney over Suarez

[Jype 6,398]

Also his shirts sell should be taken in to consideration, if we are going to pay £40m for Rooney and he help us sell around 1m shirts min at £60 each then that alone covers the whole transfer fee AND WE EVEN MAKE A PROFIT. Not to forget all his image right with Nike...etc which will bag us around £1m or a few. So basically he is paying the transfer fee for himself if he comes here eventually, we would only needs to pay his wages around £12m per year which isn't too bad for a world class player like him.

Dear God not the old shirt sale argument again, hasn't that logic been proven wrong more than once already?

If you really think the club makes a £60 profit on all shirts sold at £60 a pop you're in way over your head here. When we remove all the manufacturing costs and other expenses the profit from a single shirt is not tht significant anymore. Also from every shirt sold Adidas take a huge cut, the taxman takes a cut and I would guess the main sponsor Samsung also get something. Whatever small amount is left for the club after everyone else have taken their shares the player whose shirt is sold also gets a slice out of. If we also take in account that most of the people buying the shirts are Chelsea fans who would buy the club shirt regardless of whose name is printed on the back, the club will have to sell A LOT of fucking shirts to cover even 10 percent of the expenses that acquiring such a high profile player takes.

Even so it stills cover a large trunk of his fee, if he bags us £60m in shirt sell and we only getting £10m or so that is still very good. so if he is signed for £40m he wouldn't seem to be overpriced. He is currently worth at least £25m alone base on name and value anyway.

Absolutely spot on Hutcho! I've been saying exactly the same thing.. and it's exactly my feelings towards Rooney.

I understand that signing him would be a "Statement of Intent" as TerminatorX puts it, but having Lukaku almost feels like we still have Drogba around!

[BlueLion. 21,491]

if we buy the Roon for £40m on £200k+ wages and Arsenal gets Suárez for the same amount of money on about half them wages...I'll cry tears of sorrow, dive off the mountain cliff and turn into a golden eagle

laughing stock of the league

+Lukaku did score more goals than Rooney in the PL last season.
