Wayne Rooney

[Magic Lamps 11,668]

If he wanted to stay, why hasn't he come out and immediately rubbished it on twitter or his official site? He released a statement before doing just that.

That's easy. He does not want to rob himself of leverage to force his selection. Rooney does not want to leave but he wants to play. So he says he is unhappy because he is. When he now says he wants to stay anyway, Moyes would have such a strong position, Rooney could just take his place on the bench voluntarily.

The point that annoys me the most is that our bid obviously only was a means to elongate Roo's leverage but never a serious opportunity. Obviously Mou fall for all this "I am unhappy" BS

I saw that and of course the daily star had to do a 180 turn from every other rumor

Personally I think a striker is our top priority !

Okay....LAMPS/LUIZ/RAMIRES/MIKEL/V.GINKEL/ESSIEN. Who do you think the best option for our CDM? I'd say Mikel and to some extend Essien.But then again I woudn't call both of them world-class( Essien used to be). The rest are players with attacking intend. We need a spine for our team like Schweinstieger is to Bayern which is absolutely vital.

What part of your statement makes him a mercenary then? You think Lampard plays for love and a packet of hob knobs once week?

That he held MU ransom to £250k per week, if he was really 'love' MU, he wouldn't have done that.

Why on earth we need to jump in? Since when we give a shit about who Arsenal sign LMFAO.

Because he is one of the top 10 player in the world and not Oliver Giroud? We are letting go a top class player right in front of us.

Rooney is not going to be on the bench, he's a starter, the problem - according to the media at least - is he wants to play as striker like he was doing 2 seasons ago and was scoring shit loads.

No one really knows what he wants, might be trying to con his way to another pay raise.

[Mouri_Matic 560]

If nobody will buy him just put him in the youth squad.

Just send him on loan to West Ham/West Brom or something(talking about Ba)

He want to play ST, it is pretty clear LOL. Doubt he would want another pay raise, £250k per week is already one of the most in the world already. He would have a hard time convincing the club of matching it for the next contract let alone increases it haha.

Yeah. Also a good plan.

[Mouri_Matic 560]

Yeah. Also a good plan.

In fact actually we could just sell him even for like £4m and I am sure either of those teams would bite our hand off. Or the like of Cardiff, Southampton...etc

he's on high wages though and indicated he wants to stay and fight for his place

too late :/. if rooney really puts in the request, this could heat up.

Times say Rooney is prepared to submit a T.Request by end of the week in an attempt to force MUFC to sell him to CFC before start of season.

Would be great to have him for the start of the season should he come.

[ChelseaFanUK 1,014]

Is it going to take him til the end of the week to write it?

[Milan 17,859]

That's why David Barnard stayed in England, letter after letter, word after word. Together they will make it.
