Sidzeret 2,257 Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 ya but if what was reported was true we offered 1 year he wanted to 2 and we couldn't agree like frank or ashWayne Rooney, Anybody??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nofacej 132 Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 Not sure how I would feel about this transfer. On the one hand Rooney could be the last piece in the puzzle, but on the other he's so heavily associated with United in my mind that I'd prefer almost anyone else - except Suarez. We've had enough image problems as of late, and as much as I have the "fuck the world" attitude when it comes to supporting Chelsea, it would be nice if neutrals and the media were less... biased against us. Who knows, perhaps Rooney can help in that regard if he steps up his game for the national side after joining us? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who knows, perhaps Rooney can help in that regard if he steps up his game for the national side after joining us?Yes. Being hated by so many so much of the time can be quite the beating. Rooney might get us some negative attention, but surely not anywhere close to suarez. But at times being so hated makes the victories that much sweeter. Today in particular i'm revelling in all these rumors that everyone from Barca, to PSG, to Bayern want to buy Luiz. I remember less than a year ago how many people were giving me shit about every little mistake he made. Jokes on them and most of their clubs have still won fuck all. But back to topic I find Rooney to be at least decently respected amongst fans of other top European clubs. I don't see him tarnishing our reputation much if at all.

jakeheath 19 Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 Rooney is said to be as determined as ever to leave Old Trafford and will make his feelings known to Moyes when they meet. #CFC #MUFC (Mail) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

communicate 2,703 Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 Even though we already have 3 strikers but rooney will give us a different type of striker. I always like striker who drop deep and link up with midfielder. Somebody mentioned lewandowski which I thought will be perfect for us. But he is going to bayern so rooney is our next best option.

Bad for us either way.Bet you he ends up staying after all of this shit. He'll score loads and the idiot United fans will scream and sing his name like he never asked to leave TWICE.

He'll score loads and the idiot United fans will scream and sing his name like he never asked to leave TWICE.I think we will get him, United will do everything not to sell to us but the teams touted about who wanted him seem to have gotten other options or are happy with what they have. We probably can match his wages or there abouts, giving him the striker role and he remains in this country. It won't be an easy deal but I can see us pulling this one off albeit a long running saga.United really are struggling to fetch in anyone right now, Moyes all of a sudden has turned into a hypocrite after saying he won't be sold to us but actually has bid twice now for Cesc after being told he is going nowhere...it's in their blood at United.

You just got to love this teamThing is, we have a good striker in Lukaku. Lukaku just started playing as a target man. he's going to be a top target man but technically, he wil never be as good of a passer/dribbiler like Rooney. Rooney is just more suited for us right now. immediate success guarenteed. Lukaku still has years to develop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'll score loads and the idiot United fans will scream and sing his name like he never asked to leave TWICE.I don't think you'll find too many of us screaming his name. If he was to stay and score goals for us, we'd simply be using him just for that. Any genuine appreciation for him has gone.I read a topic (poll too) on a United forum recently asking opinions, and of course - stay or go? It was about 70/30 in favour of him leaving. We are not idiots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are not idiots.Highly knowledgable fans like yourself and those who visit football forums won't be cheering him obviously, but thousands and thousands of sheep who are just casual fans and only care about what goes on on the pitch will still love him if he stays.If Rooney stays and says he never tried to leave in the first place as a PR stunt, most of your fans will sweep it under the rug as long he's producing. Just like the last time he did it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
