It would completely turn ALL fans against him. Right now since he's been so quiet many of the supporters don't actually believe he's unhappy and wants out.

If he hands in a transfer request and makes it official and publicly known, the fans will be in a frenzy and demand him out of the club. It would hopefully make Moyes' life so miserable with the constant questioning and negative energy around the club that he'd just sell him to us.

Rooneys agent will be like the remote control over the car here. It's so apparent the player isn't happy just based on today alone a day after his team compete at wembley.

This is all so un-united like its worrying.

Do you think he's a decent enough alternative though for Rooney? Because not only does Mou want a new striker, he wants a striker with different attributes than the ones we already have.

Yeah, he's an okay alternative because he does offer something different but personally I would potentially try and get him if we can't get a Rooney or a Suarez.

Hope United don't delay this until deadline day. We've got 9 points and a Super Cup till then.

The only way this doesn't go until deadline day is if he comes out and makes it clear he's happy at United. Until then it has all the hallmark of going the long haul, and plus it will be a great spectacle for all the SSN big wigs with an iPad and a tiny bit of power.

[cadenza666 221]

yep no way see it ending before deadline day, united want to drag this as long as possible plus Moyes would want to sign a marquee replacement first before offloading, how bad would it look that his first piece of big business is Wayne Rooney OUT .

[Special Juan 27,093]

Swansea game this week is a massive indication for me of what will happen. I mean if he starts then fair enough, but if he is benched or not involved then its seriously curtains in all this for him. He still, for me, their best player and its quite clear he isn't injured, so to bench him or even drop him would be idiotic. I wouldn't buy into the excuse of 'he isn't fit' Hodgson has said he could start if needed, so that's that theory blown out.

It's good we are hearing Hodgson because we have, and are hearing, a middle ground, some what the truth in a hay of mess. Rooneys fit and ready to go, just not for united.

Say no more.

Should be a decent game

What are we anticipating being the fee for him? Also, if there is a player added to the cash sum, who will it be? Are there untouchables like Juan Mata and/or Eden Hazard?

[Pizy 17,860]

Player swap is absolutely out of the question. Cash only or no deal. I'd go to £40m and no more for him if I were the board. Maybe a smudge higher if Jose desperately pushes.

Regarding signing someone else if we do not get Rooney ,Jose was adamant that it was Rooney or nobody and when he makes bold statements like that to the press he usually means it ,I think that if we do not get Rooney it will be nobody and I dont think we will get Rooney.

It's unfortunate that we have to play United so early in the season. It's probably the only reason this transfer isn't progressing faster. Once that game passes I have a feeling United start listening to some offers.

Wow, so your clearly not a Chelsea fan.... Cash plush Hazard or Mata? lol
