Wayne Rooney

[The only place to be 11,313]

I really do not want him, especially not for prices around 25-30 mil. He is over the top, already massively dropping in speed, which is essential for a lone striker.

A lone striker needs strength to hold up the ball, intelligence to make the right runs and the ability to lay the ball off and bring other players into the game.

I'm also not sure when Rooney had this amazing pace in his game. He's not like Michael Owen whose entire game was based around pace - Rooney has always been about technique, strength and power. I haven't seen any evidence of him losing any of this. What I see is a guy losing motivation. He scores 34 goals in a season, and United bring in Van Persie so Rooney has to play second fiddle. He's never really complained when he's been moved out to the wings, but it's mystifying why someone like Fergie felt he could just diminish his role so much without expecting a negative response eventually.

All this talk about Rooney by Mou and the players and it seems like we're def interested but I still don't think United would be dumb enough to sell to us. But then again, if he is leaving, there aren't really that many options other than Chelsea. So it's between him and Suarez. Suarez is def the better player, we walk the title if we get Suarez but I just don't feel comfortable having a guy like that on Chelsea. Rooney isn't a saint either, he's similar to Ash in that sense, seems like a nice enough guy on and off the pitch but the occasional stupid act drags him down.

I'd be on board with Rooney. I was for him from the start, even preferred him over Cavani (due to value).

ROONEY ROONEY ROONEY

[Hannah 200]

Sky Sports News reporting that Wayne Rooney is 'angry and confused' over his treatment at Man United and open to a move to London.

I'm watching SSN now and they will be talking again about Rooney's situation soon.

[zyzz 711]

sign him up

[Special Juan 27,446]

He has a right to be, that statement from Moyes was a big smack in the face.

United are losing this battle both with Rooney and they way they are conducting themselves here.

[killer1257 3,282]

Please no.Why do we want an injured player who is out of form.I do not want another Torres at Chelsea.

[ChelseaFanUK 1,014]

If a transfer request is not handed in soon, he is not going anywhere. If he is that fucked off, he will hand one in

Kick the the hell out of moyes teeth Rooney

[Mouri_Matic 560]

Sky sources understand Wayne Rooney is unhappy at Manchester United and is looking to leave.

That was unpredictable

A battle? Well it's obvious that if they really cared, Moyes wouldn't have said what he did. It seemed like a gentle push out the door in my eyes and that should say something...

[ChelseaFanUK 1,014]

hes handed one in.

One which is being denied by some people. Needs to officially come out and stick one in like he did in 2010

contradicts what he said about not being sold really. So not really

[22mek22 133]

SSN just said he is confused. Have they actually said he 'wants to leave'?

[Special Juan 27,446]

One which is being denied by some people. Needs to officially come out and stick one in like he did in 2010

whos denying it? Nobody as far as aim aware, only confirmed by fergie when he left, can't get much plainer than that.

[Shane 2,275]

If we get him, its a huge transfer 6 pointer. Similar to RVP, not only do we get him, but United lose one of their best players. Even last season when he wasn't playing, in 26 league games he still got 12 goals.
