Wayne Rooney

[Tricky 301]

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

You'll die alone, can't think of a player I despise more. Seeing him run out at the bridge would fill me with self loathing, having to celebrate when he scored.... BAH!!!

[Tricky 301]

You know what's criminal ? Assault. Like say biting someone in the arm for no reason what so ever.

Well bowled...

Wayne Rooney eyes move abroad if Chelsea deal falls through

http://www.independent.co.uk/sport/football/transfers/wayne-rooney-eyes-move-abroad-if-chelsea-deal-falls-through-8749143.html

Chelsea are likely to come with a 3rd bid closer to £40m possibly too good to resist given Rooney is so transparently desperate to leave Manchester United.

Right this moment there isn't a lot of options abroad for Rooney IMO.

When was the last time Jose was so keen to get a player that he even declared it himself to the media and by the end of the story he didn't get him?????

To be fair he never went public regarding the transfer of a player as much as Rooney ever before. I think there was similar situation when Inter signed Quaresma but he wasn't really a super star and nobody else was interested in him at the time, at the end he also never worked out.

I can see him say things like ''he is an interesting player but we don't need him'' or ''he is not our so it is not for me to comment on''...etc but this time he came out from his first conferences to talk about Rooney. Ranging from advising him to do what makes him happy, saying it is Rooney or bust, that he is our only target...etc only makes Rooney feel more special and that he is appreciated here.

[Mouri_Matic 560]

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.

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?

[Hutcho 8,443]

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

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.
