Wayne Rooney

Of course United haven't accepted it. He "is not for sale". He won't be "for sale" until he hands in a transfer request, which United will probably not accept until they have signed Cesc, or brought in a replacement forward. This won't happen until mid-late August - ie. the 20th - at the earliest, IMO.

jose wants Rooney that's for sure but I am not sure we need him

We have so many players that have a goal in them and that's without four centre backs that love a goal or two

Still nice to unsettle the Salford franchisers....

United won't sell Rooney regardless of any transfer request. Moyes needs to make a top-class signing before he agrees to sell Rooney

[Pizy 18,415]

This is getting so bloody frustrating. HAND IN A GODDAMN TRANSFER REQUEST!

[Las7 951]

He has some loyalty bonus which he would loose if he hands in a transfer request, greedy little scouse cunt - he is not worth 30 million pounds with those astronomical wages unless United agree to take Torres.

[Tricky 301]

Rooney is in a tough spot. Was accused by Fergie of handing in a transfer request, he then got all bent out of shape and denied ever having done so. Think his desire to leave is now self evident, he would have said otherwise by now.

However should he hand in a request not only does he lose his bonuses (less of an issue IMO) but he then proves Fergie right, in that he has formally requested to leave.

Would like I see this tied up, before Real give up on the now "ludicrously" priced Bale. Fucking Levy is beyond a joke, £100m!!!! And step in and bid for Rooney.

Why would a transfer request all of a sudden make Manure sell him to us? LOL

If they have in their minds that Rooney wont go to Chelsea and end of story. They will keep him in the bench of force a move to either Real or Barça. It is as simple as that.

So, if Moyes sells him to us, it wont be because of an useless transfer request. It is not like they dont know he is unhappy!

never in a million years worth the money being touted

[Fulham Broadway 16,917]

Moyes has said Rooney can leave if he hands in a written tranfer request

...thats that then, hes going nowhere

[coolhead23 1,146]

For all those who doubt this transfer, i believe this is a transfer pretty much similar to one of RVP last season. The difference between winning the league and losing it on point difference.
Rooney has weight issues, he has handed transfer for a better package,he is this, he is that ... For me end of the day he gets u 20+ goals a season, is a fighter when he takes the field and more importantly if he joins us means he is taking away that 20+ goals from United and adding into our kitty. For me this out weighs all the cons that has been said and told...

But i think United are not as stupid as Arsenal to let him go to us they would rather let him rot in the reverses or ship him out, if this deal is happening i m going to have a blast laughing at my United mates...

Precisely. They'll reject it within an hour.

Yes he is. 27 still massive amounts to offer, can play up top or deeper, knows the league tremendous work ethic and still has four-five good seasons in him.

This makes so much sense to me it's unreal......A fired up and fresh Rooney under a fired up and fresh Jose is worrying.

How is he going to get them 20 goals for United next season by sitting on the bench sulking?

[Special Juan 27,439]

If this happens then Ba is either sent on loan or sold, without doubt.

[Phil Driver 503]

i do not want him ,the three we have need to be given a chance and with Rooney coming we are denying Lukaku his chance which he deserves after his performances for West Brom ,Torres needs one last chance before we write him off and Ba will be in his first full season and needs it to show us his true worth ,if Rooney comes in all of these players will have been overlooked ,because we all know Rooney will want to be looked upon as the star and that will put some noses out of joint. We can re-asses how our strikers have done at Christmas and then if we need Rooney that will be the time to get him.

Thats to be seen!

[Wavy Crockett 190]

Thats to be seen!

well Moyes has said something to the like of Rooney becoming important for them if RvP gets injured. Which he might be at some point during the season of course, but even then I don't envision an unsettled number two Rooney coming on and pulling up any trees

Not many players who hand in a request remain at a club for very long. I might be wrong, but rejecting said request, then benching him could probably be taken to arbitration, certainly grounds for constructive dismissal. These are ppl remember they have rights, you can't let them rot in the reserves.

As for forcing a move to Real or Barca, they have yet to show any interest and would have done so by now given how long this has rumbled on for.
