Wayne Rooney

[coolhead23 1,147]

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...

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

Precisely. They'll reject it within an hour.

[Special Juan 28,118]

never in a million years worth the money being touted

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 28,118]

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!

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

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!

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.

See it also about rotation what people are missing, Hazard, Mata and say Oscar wont play every game and will need to be rested and or covered for injuries etc. Rooney can play up top or deeper like already said, Ba should be moved on because with three of Lukaku, Torres and Rooney that's enough. You have to take into consideration players will tire and this is the problem last season, we could never look to the bench and replace quality with quality, it was Yossi or Marin sat there. So the scenario is Mata is allowed to start a game from the bench due to tiredness Rooney could fill the gap allowing Lukaku to lead the line and Torres as back up. As bad as Torres has been I certainly wouldn't mind looking to him from the bench to come on and nab a goal, perfectly fine.

Jose can and will integrate them all if we sign Rooney, and if anyone can keep these players happy it's Jose. City have a plethora of top attackers, and it's needed, what's important is keeping them happy and utilizing them to their strengths to benefit the team thus allowing others not to burn out.

It's a long season.

He probably wouldnt be benched tho. Its a world cup year and Roo is gonna need to play so I'm fairly certain they could use him without fear

soon to be 28

fitness doubts

history of injury issues

past his physical peak

out of form playing wise (will he ever return to top form?)

We would help United in a massive way by giving them lots of money for an unsettled player who's unlikely to play a large role for them next season. More funds for them to bring in that marquee signing their fans desperately clamour for this transfer window,

I'm not all negative though. I recognise and trust Mourinho's judgment in bringing in players. I would hope for Mou to get him fired up and get at least 2-3 seasons out of him as a great PL striker. He knows the league obviously as you say and has good work ethic when he's in the right state of mind.

However you only need to look at someone like Suárez who could actually be cheaper over a standard 5-year contract to realise buying Rooney is never going to be a very good deal for us financially (using reasonable figures with £45m fee for Suárez and 120-125k/week, whereas Rooney would be £35m+ fee and wages north of 200k/week).

[bushman 2,043]

If one looks at his wages, he puts in the aforementioned transfer that represents millions for the remaining contract of his.

I doubt, Rooney will do that. As I wrote here. He would be a great steal from Manures, but his attitude stinks & what about if he is not happy at Chelsea ? To me, the club just might be better off not signing him & see how it goes with Fernando, Lukaku & BA. Who knows ?
