Rooney and Moutinho

Devo from Dublin

I reckon £25m each, or £50m between them...
Moutinho probably cheaper.
Those 2 and maybe a Baines or a Contreo..
If others leave, ie... Dempsey,Huddles, then i'd have to rethink...but i do think we need to add at least 3 to the existing numbers.

if we signed these two then we would win the title!

Rooney is not beyond the bounds of possibility if we get CL though i would think he will go for the megabucks clubs Man City/Chelsea/PSG. RM and Barca wont want or need him.

Wages will be the biggest issue for anyone wanting to sign rooney. Currently on 200 odd K per week at OT allegedly. Even if he took a drop could/would spurs pay 150K a week?
What's yer highest wage at present.

Signing rooney would be daft, ye need an out an out striker, not a second striker who is beginning to look as if he's burning out. His wages would cripple ye also. Not a hope in hell should ye touch Rooney. Coutinho would be an excellent buy but Baines is off to Utd

Because he couldnt get a game in a piss poor Inter Milan team, and plays well in 6-0 hammerings..... yeah, an excellent buy.
And Baines is off to Utd ?
Jaysus, Jimmy Magee hasnt a patch on you.
Any other info?

On the Rooney thing.

Surely Rooney and his agent realize that there are very few teams who will be willing or can afford to match his 200K wages?

I can think of 2 other EPL teams, a couple of spainish, PSG and maybe Bayern. after that your looking at maybe a couple of silly Russian clubs.

Whats the problem with that? Thats enough of them for him not to be forced into a paycut assuming some want him.

Nothing I suppose, my point was that money.might not be everything and he might consider a paycut for the right team.

Had to say I was laughing my ass off at your post there, I meant moutinho, my mistake. And yes I'd be confident that Baines is off to Utd.

Keep going with the Rooney nonsense, YEP, im sure he's going to end up at Spurs next season

Why would Rooney sigh for Spurs?

2nd Row Donkey

He wouldnt. But we can dream.

Calm down there buddy will ya. I just want to say that this silly Rooney talk should be stopped, he is not going to be playing at Spurs so stop even dreaming it in fairness.

btw it is fantasies and not 'fantasys'. I think you should maybe concentrate more on your English homework tonight.

Whens the last time utd sold a big player to a rival premiership club?
answer=never
if he gets sold it will be to an overseas team like PSG.
anyway theres no way either spurs would pay the transfer fee or his wage demands.
not an option for us im afraid.

Do we not have a thread already for summer transfer gossip as someone already said?

irishmover

double post.

What's with all this Rooney rubbish? I don't want him near the club unless he was earning 100k a week or less and cost us less than £20m. Not going to happen.

Big Pussy Bonpensiero

Forget about Rooney, pipe dream. Never going to happen.

Coutinho is 20 and has had some very good performances this season. I remember he tore us apart in the CL a few years ago... when he was 17. I'd love if we signed him. Not many 20 year olds in the world better than him.

Who the hell are all these people :pac:

As for Rooney, I'd take him anyday but not for that Kind of wages. If for some reason he'd take £100k a week and even more unlikely would sign for us I think we'd be mad not too. Like thats been said it's a pipe dream.
