Have you watched your own team of recent? They are'nt keeping up.

I have indeed, they are in 4th a win off second place. Who are they not keeping up with. United traditional don't get really going until after christmas, we have dropped some silly points but I'm not too concerned yet.

You do know they are still unbeaten in the league don't you.?

Edit sorry way of thread subject opps.

Well maybe you should get in touch with "the fanbase" and tell them what they should do? Ideas for how to get rid of the Glazers, in a way that doesnt hurt the club would always be greatly accepted.

I dont own a Norwich City scarf btw

Some Utd fans have been constant in their opposition to the GLazers, and indeed BSkyB before that.

It's a bit much to be listening to put-downs from a Liverpool supporter, given that a significant portion of your fanbase bent over for H+G, expecting them to be your saviours.
Only when you realised that they weren't going to buy success, did the campaigns start.
At least MUST and IMUSA have always been opposed to the Glazers.

You have to bet on the Rooney to stay at Man United option there! talk about value

Ah looks like I got it wrong. Ladbrokes where just on SSN saying it but what they said isn't really what they're offering and the price is 5/2.

It's actually Rooney to start United's first game next season.

Rooney is going nowhere ,this story is a non runner.
All he is trying to do is get a better contract.You'd think he'd have enough money with his off field endorsements .
Where would he go anyway ?
He wouldn't be suited to (or good enough for ) either Barcelona or Real Madrid .
No club in Italy would buy him .
His only real options would be an English club,perhaps Chelsea or Man City and Man City would be the only club foolish enough to pay the inflated fee United would be seeking.
He is going nowhere.

Wow, this is really gaining momentum.

Of course a Rooney statement over the next 24 hours could end it all. Though the longer it goes without him denying it the louder it will become.

It'll get really interesting if Rooney refuses to sign a new contract AND refuses to go abroad. I wonder which club Rooney would go to if he had the choice.

I don't think he'd be all that keen on London.
City would seem the most likely, although staying in Manchester might be negative.
Has all his Everton bridges really been burned? Would they take him back? They'd probably have to swap one or two of Cahill, Arteta, Jagielka to fund it.
Liverpool have probably been enemy number 1 throughout his career given his clubs, and I don't think being a good pal with Gerrard will negate that.

I think its delusional for anyone to think this is about money. He'll get £150k a week at United and that'll do him fine. If he leaves it'll be down to his relationship with Ferguson being broken down beyond repair.

Sure, if he leaves, money will likely play a part in who he chooses to go to and he could end up with more than what Utd are offering, but as I say it won't be his primary motivator for leaving.

That's ridiculous, he'd be an excellent fit for Barcelona's team.

Wouldn't have thought so. He'd be on the bench as long as Villa is fit.

Doubt Villa's fitness would have any effect.

Perfect for a high tempo system, intelligent player, good movement. Technique might let him down at times, but he has enough to make up for it.

Wouldn't have thought so. As long as Pep is in charge can't see Pedro being dropped for Rooney unless he's not fit or playing very, very badly.

Well, that's a different discussion (who Pep would prefer).

I was just saying that Rooney is good enough for Barcelona.

FWIW, I know two Barca ST holders who think Rooney is Pep's type of player.

He's certainly good enough when Bojan is next up off the bench, but I don't know if Barcelona could afford him..

I doubt Barcelona can afford him.

Good thread btw

Dempsey

Bastian Schweinsteiger is rumoured to be looking to move away from Munich so a swap deal there would be a higher possibility than Real Madrid or Barcelona imo

as much as I hate to think about it, Bojan, Pedro and a chunk of money wouldn't be terrible. Shame Barca can't afford the chunk of money...if only Ibra was still there to throw into the deal...

Ah yeah I'd agree he's good enough, although you never be really that sure in Spain as attacking players are less reliant on pace and more on technique.

I'd be very suprised if Pep would want Rooney to drop a Cantera product who's had a fantastic break through season and got himself in the Spain world cup squad. I'd say Rooney is a player alot of managers would like but I think Barca is one team he would not slot straight into.

Warper

In fairness if Rooney regained the form of last year he would be an excellent signing for Barcelona. Would love to see him play for Barca. I think it would be more like this with Pedro getting his fair share of games as well:
Messi-Rooney-Villa

You can hardly say that he relies on pace over technique to be fair.

I'd usually agree, except his touch has been off the last few months.
