The Rooney thread

[mpickard2087]

I honestly think Rooney is on the verge of meltdown. To me he looks completely weighed down psychologically. Berating the fans, screwing up his marriage and everytime I see him play now he looks like he had forgotten even the basics such as controlling the ball.

Watching Red Nose's interview he seemed mystified why he wants to go. I dont know where he will go either, I cant picture him playing abroad, I really cant. It would be hilarious if his head had been turned by City though!

Oh and I wouldnt neccessarily assume Utd will be after our players. I can only see them getting £20million tops for a player whos contract is rapidly running out.
Plus im not convinced they can spend really big anymore despite their denials of the financial situation. They didnt really do much with the Ronaldo money.

im sure united fans are used to loosing top players to be honest, it isnt that rare. ronaldo more recently, van nistelrooy, beckham, Stam

it happens

This is true, but after the players that you had mentioned left, Utd had the players to take on the mantle.

This time they don't. The squad is either ageing or not exoerienced enough yet.

i would like to think that's the case and their time in the Sun is over, but it really wouldnt suprise me at all if they just end up stronger once the dust settles

Good points.
As to Rooney it's allwell and good when you're a top player to be arrogant but he hasn't done or looked like doing anything for a while.
Looks like Fergie will outlast Rooney at Old Trafford.
Rooney's head is clearly a long way from being right.

bale for rooney ?

No fucking thank you!

 

[kaz Hirai]

bale for rooney ?

massive no for me, but even if redknapp wanted that, united would have continue to pay most of rooneys wages for us cause we probably couldn't even afford half of what he is asking for (allegedly)

 

[spurs mental]

bale for rooney ?

:rofl:

Wait, are you serious matt?

Rooney is moving for money plain and simple, he shat on Everton, he shat on his wife and kid numerous times (not literally of course.... I dont think), he shat on England fans without any sign or statment of remorse. Yes when he wants to play he is world class but he is clearly a scumbag, Id say Harry will say he is "intrested" as usual but we wont be in the running and TBH I am not really caring, I can't stand the sight of the fucking ****!

IMO he will join Man City on huge money, if YaYa is on 200k id say Rooney will be on that or more.

If he does go to City this will be a frighteneing prospect for them upfront and a shiney big sign to the rest of top world players.

Someone said before he's gazza waiting to happen it might allstart here

Redknaoo would be perfect for him!! 40mil bid should do it

United are in trouble tho heard vidic wants out too rios crocked swell van der sar is 40 odd evans and wes brown to win them the league I think not

Top 4 this year could end up as

Chelsea
Arsenal
City
Spurs

 

[ethanedwards]

He'll go to Real for Benzema + cash.

Don't think so. They want a proper centre forward in the Drogba mould, Rooney comes with to much baggage. Also heard he wants £200k per month for image rights on top of his wages.

 

[kaz Hirai]

nows the time to bet on united winning the title, wonder what their odds are

 

[kcmei]

we shud really try to go for this. Imagine VDV, Rooney, Modric, Defoe in the same team

 

[BringBack_leGin]

I think he'll end up at City after Fergies comments.

We should go for Adebayor!

 

[whitelightwhiteheat]

Bayern in for Rooney?

Or is it too early for that?!

 

[fazza]

If they do sell him Fergie will probably go and buy Dzeko to replace him.

Ah case closed then. We can all stop wondering.

I reckon a cash + Benzema swap is the most likely outcome. To be fair if Fergie can get Benzema playing well United wont really be much worse off.

It's midfield where they need another world class player.

Dont be silly, he'll be a Barca player by friday

He could even get both players for the Rooney money, now would Dzeko and Benzema be better than Rooney and Berbatov?
