Special Juan 28,141 Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 Hope United don't delay this until deadline day. We've got 9 points and a Super Cup till then.The only way this doesn't go until deadline day is if he comes out and makes it clear he's happy at United. Until then it has all the hallmark of going the long haul, and plus it will be a great spectacle for all the SSN big wigs with an iPad and a tiny bit of power.

cadenza666 221 Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 yep no way see it ending before deadline day, united want to drag this as long as possible plus Moyes would want to sign a marquee replacement first before offloading, how bad would it look that his first piece of big business is Wayne Rooney OUT .

Special Juan 28,141 Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 Swansea game this week is a massive indication for me of what will happen. I mean if he starts then fair enough, but if he is benched or not involved then its seriously curtains in all this for him. He still, for me, their best player and its quite clear he isn't injured, so to bench him or even drop him would be idiotic. I wouldn't buy into the excuse of 'he isn't fit' Hodgson has said he could start if needed, so that's that theory blown out.It's good we are hearing Hodgson because we have, and are hearing, a middle ground, some what the truth in a hay of mess. Rooneys fit and ready to go, just not for united.Say no more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steagles 70 Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 What are we anticipating being the fee for him? Also, if there is a player added to the cash sum, who will it be? Are there untouchables like Juan Mata and/or Eden Hazard? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pizy 18,935 Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 Player swap is absolutely out of the question. Cash only or no deal. I'd go to £40m and no more for him if I were the board. Maybe a smudge higher if Jose desperately pushes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Driver 503 Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 Regarding signing someone else if we do not get Rooney ,Jose was adamant that it was Rooney or nobody and when he makes bold statements like that to the press he usually means it ,I think that if we do not get Rooney it will be nobody and I dont think we will get Rooney.

chopchop 68 Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 It's unfortunate that we have to play United so early in the season. It's probably the only reason this transfer isn't progressing faster. Once that game passes I have a feeling United start listening to some offers.

Heisenberg 1,824 Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 Choice isnt an option for Rooney, if he wants to go and United cant replace him with a decent player he wont go.I have full trust that Moyes can cope with an angry player for a season and even more if it is a winner like Rooney.If Manchester United block the transaction he'll have to face the anger of some fans but goals will fix that disorder.I hope we'll be quick in the last days and our negotiators can be intelligent enough to not convince big Roman to splash the cash on an off form player for now.Use the last bad season of the striker to lower his price.Lukaku, Demba Ba and Blondinette will do well for one year if Chelsea fails to sign Shrek.

JDY 1,290 Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 United have already replaced Rooney if he were to leave in the shape of Kagawa, who would probably get a chance in his favoured position. They need a winger & a central midfielder more than anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nofacej 132 Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 It's hard to say really. I think this was always going to be one of those sagas that gets resolved on deadline day. United will want to hear as many offers as they can before making a decision, and in the meantime it gives them more time to try and convince Rooney to stay.
