    I couldnt see Rooney playing for a team in mainland Europe. He's not the cosmopolitan type!

    TBH where would he fit in a Madrid? Higuaín is the main out and out no 9. Cristiano Ronaldo is the one who most often is the "second striker" Mezul Ozil in midfield, Khediera, Alonso aswell.

    Higuain would get the chop.

    Was gonna post something but then realised that you can't have a negative thought about Man Utd or any of their players cos then your labelled ABU.......

    All in the Irish Independent as well, not sure if this makes the grade as a proper paper for some of ye but here have a read.

    Rooney will go for 40m max if he goes, and he wont leave the uk as his wife sister is very ill and he is close to her.

    In fairness Rooney is very stubborn and will do what he wants and not what fergie wants, he proved that at Everton so either :
    - he will sit out his contract
    - Or get a move to the club he wants.

    In the end this is a disaster for Utd who are financially broke, easy to see this as they havent bought any big players in the last 2 years and god knows they need 6 of them!!

    Rooney will leave some stage, fergie will retired within 2 years and utd are on the way to meltdown, same way as the pool

    Sell Him.

    The transfer fee will put a minor dent in Manchester United' interest payments.
    I'd be surprised if anyone offered over 40m for him.

    The only similarity between United the Liverpool is that they both have American owners.

    That is all.

    Well, that is true since Friday given that we don't have any debt anymore and you lads do. No similarities at all! :)

    Also the same similarity that both americans were and are at utd still taking money out of the club!

    Not a pool fan but at least they have Reina, Gerrard and Torres, who arent in good form either but Utd only have Rooney and thats it!


    No other world class players there!!


    Utd are on the way out unless ye spend 100-200m in next two years!

    Vidic, Evra, Nani, Berbatov, Scholes, Valencia, Ferdinand.

    The twins will come good, as will chico and kiko hopefully.

    Realistically, we need 2 decent midfielders and a GK.

    Nothing even close to 100-200m.

    I gave the bones of a team that is very good, which is nowhere near on the way out as he stated?

    And you gave a list of average to decent players as a response.

    Sorry if I picked that up wrong.

    So I gave a list of players to show we weren't exactly on the way out, as there is young blood coming in, and a few well established players there.

    I am also sorry you took it up wrong :cool:

    I dont think Rooney is worth 40 million, and the only club that would is City, because they can pay it.

    Id be surprised if Real Madric came in with a bid, sure isnt Jose going to United in about 2 or 3 years, why would he want to buy Rooney and then try and resign him when he takes over United :rolleyes:

    Rooney to Real Madrid, then José and Ronaldo to United next year!

    Rooney brought this all on himself being such a dirty brazzer lover, I have no respect for him these days anyway. Fergie should let him go if he wants to go. But still, fcuking hate glazer

    Vidic, Evra, Nani, Berbatov, Scholes, Valencia, Ferdinand.



    Scholes: If your counting on a very old player to make you a great team again, your deluded.

    Vidic: Not that great, had one good season.

    Evra: Yeah top class player forgot about him.

    Berbatov: ha ha ha ha, too laz.

    Nani: Not there yet, maybe has potential but way off still.

    Ferdinand: Injury prone and lapses in concentration happens too often to be considered!

    Evra: Yeah top class player forgot about him.

    Berbatov: ha ha ha ha, too laz. - Have you watched any of the games this season at all??

    Nani: Not there yet, maybe has potential but way off still. - Way off what? 3 goals and 7 assists in 8 games isn't a bad return at all, is it??

    Ferdinand: Injury prone and lapses in concentration happens too often to be considered! - He is a great defender on his day, he and vidic have been one of the best CB pairings in the league the last few seasons


    Do you actually watch games at all?

    There is more than one Utd player that has done the dirt over the last two seasons!.

    Remember is not Rooney who came up with the rule that wives and girlfriends are not allowed at the xmas party!

    And Mr Ferdinand is no angel going his past history for the dirt on his wife!

    Am I missing something? Jose to Manchester United? Since when? How? Or is that just fantasy from United fans?

    Well there isn't really much else to say on the topic tbh.

    Rooney hasn't said he isn't going to sign, and the only statement from the club has said that rooney will not be leaving in january, or in the summer.

    It's a non story running because Rooney is Public Enemy Number One in the british media.

    I doubt you have watch much games to be honest!

    Berbatov : a few good games dont make him great, what about last season, did you see that???? What about the Sunderland game, was so bad didnt even know he played!!! And the same can be said for the Bolton Game!!

    Vidic and Ferdinand were the best pairing two seasons ago, last season they didnt exist as were out injured and when they did play they werent great.

    This year they played two PL games together and havent been great against Sunderland or West Brom and they arent Power houses,

    Oh yeah dont forget Davis pretty much beat Vidic against Bolton too. And look at the amount of goals ye conceding with vidic there this year too, your defence hasnt been good and Vidic has been poor!

    Define world-class. Its a phrase used too often these days for players.

    Does it mean would he get on a World XI. If so, the only player I can think of is possibly Vidic.

    Off to Man City, if you ask me. United are in no position to refuse a big money bid, and as Rooney was happy to leave his boyhood club for Newcastle (only for an 11th hour move from Man Utd), he'll follow the money too.
