Tomo 21,751 Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 And whenever we've won the PL, our strikers had barely scored 30% of our goals. Chelsea have relied on various sources for goal for a very long time now and that trend is only increasing with the type of attacking midfielders we're getting. Rooney will definitely be a boost, but he will never be to us what RVP was for united last season. In 04-06 we could do that because Drogba sacrificed himself for the good of the team, meaning the players behind him could hit silly goal figures, but since Mourinho left we have only had one season off an fully in form forward and that has coincidentally been the only season since we have won the league.

edenhazard17 281 Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 No assurance about regular starting for Barca, that is pretty much it. Also it is world cup next year and he want to play regularly so he could get into Spain team starting 11. At the moment Xavi/Iniesta is occupying his fav position so he can't play there as much as he likes while at MU he would just start about every single match there. As I stated earlier, that he is threatened for regular starting at Barca was most likely speculated by media, unless Barca signed any new midfielder. Barca even have offloaded Thiago. The situation and condition are mostly the same, if not better, since he arrived. Why now his position threatened, but at the past years he wasn't? He even make it as a starting XI for Spain 'false 9' in Euro 2012 instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IkE 267 Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 If ManU won't sell Rooney until they have signed Fabregas, we are screwed and badly. We need a transfer request from Rooney urgently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueLion. 21,491 Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 I don't see why people are opposed to this. Who better is available? Look at City, they wanted Falcao and Cavani and ended up with Negredo and Jovetic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mouri_Matic 560 Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 I don't see why people are opposed to this. Who better is available? Look at City, they wanted Falcao and Cavani and ended up with Negredo and Jovetic Who are both fine players and would improve us, we were after them both too and failed in both and I agree, people are thinking as if we got the luxury of choosing from a pool of top class strikers. Look at Arsenal, who just lost Higuain to Napoli and Suarez who they are trying to make a fool out of themselves while trying to sign him. Spurs's target is Soldado who is 28 years old and will cost 30m euros according to Valencia president.Now we got Rooney left to sign or go for Suarez for around £50m.

Mouri_Matic 560 Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 Is anyone against throwing £45-£50m Liverpool's way for Suarez if we bid £30m and MU still refuse to sell? I know that is a lot and just about Cavani's fee and Suarez will miss the next 6 matches for us, he would be a handful playing for us. And he won't demand ridiculous wages too, maybe £150k max, not £250k like Rooney. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edenhazard17 281 Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 Now we got Rooney left to sign or go for Suarez for around £50m. We should never give £50m to the scousers ever again. They will go mad and spend all the money to buy one player one more time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Limited striker for mid table teams in most football fans mind. i only see people laugh on this expensive signing. Jovetic isnt better than Tevez, so whats the big deal or the big change from last season? City had Balo-Aguaro-Tevez-Dzeko, now they have Negredo-Aguaro-Jovetic-Dzeko. hooooWe defenetly need a striker, but we'd be extremely stupid to buy Negredo or even Jovetic who isnt a real goal scorer.

gary gordon 1,777 Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 Can't see United signing flabergas. Why would he want to leave his native country, where he plays for the champions, alongside Messi, Neymar, Iniesta and Xavi and return to England and play with Cleverly, Carrick and RVP? Unless he is driven purely by money, I highly doubt he will be a red devil next season. United are going to have to aim a lot lower.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buy my post still relevant i saw it in other postsI wish i could see a reliable source about us going for Falcao. Just a reminder- the last rumors came during the last season, especially in January, and i think it was all from that Spanish TV show Punto Pelota. Who arent very reliable it seems.And now it looks like we havent went for Cavani at all... well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChelseaFanUK 1,014 Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 Seen some quoting the gaurdian earlier who claimed utd and chelsea had a secret agreement to not comment on Rooney.
