Wayne Rooney

[Special Juan 27,439]

The board will be the one who decides if Rooney goes or stays...Moyes is the puppet master right now.

[Pacquiao 1,834]

Stay strong Moyes! Dont let us sign another flop!

[Magic Lamps 11,668]

if rooney stays in the end and we will be without a new striker+ DM, united will be the ones laughing.

Really? Got a coach who does not know jack about winning trophies, Ageing Ferdinand, declining Vidic, declining Evra, Fergie,van Pussy and Carrick unlikely to win them the title again inspite of a shit squad. Who will do it for them this time? Kagawa or Phil Jones? If they do not improve their squad drastically they will have nothing to laugh about, as they won't even come close to challenging us or City. I gotta feeling a barren spell for Utd will come just as 95-2007. If we and City do not completely fuck it up their era of domestic success is over. Moyes will win exactly one title next seaso: the carling cup. the community shield vs Wigan does not count. Utd will have nothing to laugh at for a while

Tool? Ha, funny. It's the way you insinuated your post. I never said that you said that his "play acting" got Terry sent off. What I am saying is that you shouldn't hate him for it because what JT did wasn't good to begin with. Don't know why you'd hate someone for that.

And as for his footballing ability? You can call him overrated or whatever, I don't really mind that. But to say he's a "terrible" footballer is just naive and stupid.

It isn't as simple as that though. Right now, the ball is in Rooney's court. If he really wants the move, and hands in a transfer request; it is only then we can push through and up our bid.

Make that fatso make up his mind already

I don't post much and prefer to read the forum which I've been glued to over the last 10-11 days.

Judging by the rumours and the behaviour of Rooney it looks like he is prolonging this just as a cause to get more money from United. I hate to say it but I highly doubt he'll be joining; I think Manures will offer him a new contract and everything will be 'dandy' as far as mufc are concerned.

Albeit saying this I really hope I'm wrong as Rooney would be great for Chelsea, but I thought I'd throw my opinion out there.

[Berke 58]

Sorry double post

[ulsterchelsea 3,221]

Dont believe a word reported on ESPN. As reliable as sky Italia

[Toli 977]

Will they really be laughing when they've got an unhappy player in their camp, causing a sour atmosphere? It isn't as black and white as you're making it seem.

as if rooney wouldnt try to play as good as possible and just chill on the bench. if he stays, he will give his all. also he hasnt hand in a transfer request yet..so maybe his desire isnt that big to move.

@Magic Lamps

they had the same squad the last season and still won the league without big problems. so, yes, they are atm at a better position than we are. at least they have 4!!! proper strikers while we have none (or one upcoming with Lukaku). people have burried them so many times and still they won. also the transfer summer isnt over yet..who knows who they will buy.

Im resigned to this happening now.

All im going to say is i hope you are all feeding me humble pie come May.

You Hope.. ???

Ok you don't think its a great transfer. But put it this way. Is he better than the options we have... Yes. So whatever he does its not like we would have done better without him, and his addition could be exactly whay we need.

But why would you actually want it to go wrong?

Ofcourse i hope, im not petty enough to actually want him to flop just to be able to say i told you so.

He maybe better options than what we have, but we will be after half of Europe if we base strikers on that (Lukaku has a great future, but he is too raw to be #1 right now).

Bad news for United if true. Is Moyes just a puppet?

Of course he is a puppet — he's Ferguson's puppet. The latter man has most certainly left his job because he couldn't go any further because of his health condition (and I believe because he knew that an area was about to end and wanted to leave United on a high). I genuinely reckon that he'd have stayed had he had the possibility — his new place within the board hints in this sense.

Ferguson is all but idiot. He knows that Moyes isn't ready to take the United's job. So, in short, Ferguson will still be their for the grand scheme while Moyes will be the one on the bench and the end to train players every days.

If you will, Moyes is to Ferguson what Jordi Roura was to Tito.

Ferguson will fully disapear when Moyes will be "old" enough or when they will have a manager competent enough.

For now, I reckon that United's place in the table will depend on the proportion of Ferguson's implication within the managerial role.

[LegenTerry 267]

Guys you underestimate United too much.I agree they have weak squad,but they had it last season too.Of course,there was SAF but do you really think that team can win League just by manager ? I don't think so.United have good players,they have a lot of old players who have experience,but they have young potential players too.

However,I think they will be 3rd,just behind us and Man.City and if we don't sign Rooney it's not the end of the world,we have R.Lukaku,a great young player who can play in first team,we have great backup,Demba Ba,and we have our third option F.Torres-to my regret

You're trying to put words in my mouth - I never said Rooney wouldn't perform to his best. All I'm saying is that it isn't as black and white as you're making it out to be - you could be right, I could be right. Thing is, nobody knows except for Rooney and his camp right now. As I've said before, the ball is in his court. If he really wanted to move he'll put in a transfer request. If not then obviously he wasn't really up for the move in the first place. We won't know until the window's shut or until the Rooney camp come out and make a statement either way.

Just seen some bothering news from the Arsenal camp, that they had a £40,000,001 offer for Suarez decisively turned down. This means they could just turn around and now make a move for Rooney. What if all of a sudden they put £35 million on the plate, and tap him up right in front of our noses?

United will be much more willing to sell to Arsenal, since they're not title contenders. Arsenal have also made it clear that they can meet Rooney's wage demands.

Just a scenario.

Honestly, i don't think Manures will pay him more than he is earning now. I'll be stupid for to offer him more than £200,000 a week for Chelsea

I think Rooney would rather stay at United than go to Arsenal to be fair.
