Wayne Rooney

[Muzchap 8,966]

If United believed that then they would not sell him to a title rival for that price. United may be many things but stupid isn't one of them(remember Veron?) , they won't let a player go if they thought could seriously hurt them domestically for the foreseeable future. If we went after Rooney in 2008, we would have had to smash the British transfer record to pieces to even get United to start talking.

If he was still at his peak or anything near, United would be telling him he is going abroad or nowhere, like Levy did with Modric.

Tomo chill - 20 million even 30 million is a steal for this player

Happy to be proved wrong, but if we sign him, he will be awesome for us!!!! That simple

Fuck Utd - Rooney knows they are on a downward spiral now and wants out...

I don't see you saying the same about De Rossi and Roma? Ultimately it is up to the player if he wants to leave. You are right united are not stupid and so they won't keep an unhappy player, especially if that player is on 240k/wk! What they will do though, imo, is make sure they sell him to someone who is not a threat to them.

We aren't Roma's rivals in any way shape or form, if Lazio wanted him i bet Roma will have to be offered a huge, huge amount to even consider it.

Seriously if Rooney come for 20m that is a steal compare to 24m on RVP. Rooney play positions RVP don't so I say get me the guns we are going robbing gettin

The thought of a fat-overrated shit kissing the CFC badge makes me want to throw up. His focus is on being popular not being a good footballer.

[YouNameIt 1,511]

Would be Torres v2.0

[edetarod 2,155]

yep, just another striker on the decline that we're interested in

[cripji 16]

Not his fan. I will b very upset seeing him kissing d blue badge next season.

[Billy. 2,742]

If he signs Jose will work wonders with him, he has always said he likes Rooney and I think deep down Rooney likes him, now SAF has left united Rooney might want to play for another world class manager who knows tho.

But I would 100% love him here evan tho I hate him lol

Wow so much hate, ppl keen to blow 25m on Benteke "The One Season Wonder", but screaming no for Rooney!

He isn't finished, he was never about explosive pace, he great attribute is his footballing brain. He would be amazing an at 25m is hardly the giant risk your making out, hell he would make that up in shirt sales in hi first year here.

The game has changed, players have all the power especially in the last 2 years of a contract. Do you really think Wenger wanted to sell RVP to Utd? Utd are a PLC, they think £££ first, football second.

So what he stuck his finger up at some Chelsea fans.... Do you guys go to the games? Do you hear the abuse he gets from us? Fair okay to him I say, I'd do the same! Do I like the man? No. Do I like the player? Yes. Because he is going to make a difference when ever he plays.

[Pacquiao 1,834]

he was never about explosive pace, he great attribute is his footballing brain.

His explosive pace and ability to take players on was what made him so dangerous and such a great talent when he was young, since he started losing his pace and became more injury prone, he started using his brain more, and if you have a great footballing brain you can use that when playing as a number 10, that is where a great football brain is most effective! but not so much as a striker which is the position we need filing! Rooney is a number 10 now, a very good number 10 so i don't know why people mention his football brain, as we already have players with great football brains, we dont need another player with one, what we need is a world class striker! Rooney hasn't played as a striker for a long time now! he is not the answer.

[The Mak 4,459]

Oh look, fat boy is injured before even kicking a ball...I for one am shocked! Shocked I say!

He has struggled with his fitness this season and it's only going to get worse. It took him all fucking season and he's still not fully fit

[Weckerz 3,781]

Are you all mad? You're making it sound like he's some mediocre scrub 'on the decline' who has nothing to offer.

Perhaps reflect for a minute, look beyond the 'fat' man, forget his gestures towards our fans (which for some fucked up reason is enough for some to not want him here).

He's a rare breed of player, a striker who is technically solid, creative, a good passer and can score goals. If we're suffering with injuries he could easily step in as CAM.

A Rooney/Lukaku strike force could be devastating; I pray this deal goes through.

1. Oh the irony.

2. Step into the position we currently have an overflow of players for.

Rooney currently has a 'niggling' injury which usually translates to a long-term problem - while Mata, Oscar and Hazard hardly missed a game all last season.

People have been on here for weeks saying that his fitness is a problem and now he is injured before pre-season; I don't think it's a coincidence. I think it should say something and I don't think it should be dismissed simply because of stuff he has done in the past. In the more recent past he missed most of the season and still wasn't fit by the end of it. And if it truly 'wasn't a big deal' I'm sure he wouldn't have to fly all the way back to Manchester, no? I don't want the club to risk being stuck with one of, if not the, highest earning player in the PL who lives in the treatment room...I'm not trying to be argumentative or anything, just realistic.

This is the last i'll say on Rooney: I think some people are having the 'Torres' mindset again. I mean this in terms of simply focusing on the big name of the player and his past glories, instead of the player he is now.

Where were you when Rafa was appointed?

People can say his fitness is a problem all they want, fact is he hasn't been as lean and fit in years as he is now. Not sure why this injury proves he's not fit or will translate to a long-term problem. This stuff happens, he's isn't that old that he won't recover..

He needs to keep his fitness level up more during the season I agree, but the fact that he's been burning that fat for next season seems like a good sign to me.

The fact that he flew back to England is understandable as well, a hamstring injury takes at least 3 weeks to heal. Fuck, maybe he's not injured and wants to get back to England to discuss a contract.

PS: I judge players by their performances, not their names

Torres was seriously declining when we bought him although it was hard to see at the time. Rooney had a fantastic year last season. He had 12 goals and 10 assists in 22 starts despite playing mostly out of position. I can't understand how people are acting as if he was useless or a shadow of the player he was. He's still a terrific player.

Well, I suppose we'll just have to wait until the season starts to find out what level he's really at!
