He's running out of clubs isn't he. Can't see him going to Liverpool - if he wants to stay in the North West it has to be Tranmere. He'd be delighted to go back to Merseyside.

He could be their greatest since John Aldridge, lol!

This is just getting headlines because its Rooney, a far more worrying situation for Strikers in my view is Torres at liverpool. Looks jaded and unwilling, clearly regrests his move and will be gone in January or Summer. That loss will be a proper blow for a football club.

***posted before press conferance,***

Agree with the rest of the post but this isn't true, jaded he is yes, after the WC and injuries, but he will come back to form in time. He was at trainign at 7 o'clock the other morning 3 hours before traiining began to work on his own, he wants to get back more to top form and he'll work as hard as he can to do it. Sorry for the off topic.

I refuse to discuss financial analysis with you. Your full of it, you'd think you might of learned something about finance living in Frankfurt. Obviously not.

You refuse to discuss it with anyone, just keep saying utd are the best run team in the league, I'd like to know why you think making a huge loss is not a problem for utd or a least point me to reason why you think so

Bodhisopha · 19-10-2010 02:50PM

His missus won't leave England, so he's off to Spain.

secman · 19-10-2010 02:50PM

Never trust a " SCOUSER".

He behaves like an idiot over the last 6 months and now it United's fault !
If thats your attitude Wayne.....good riddance. January can't come soon enough. No player is bigger than the club.

Oh the curses of not being a Sky subcribing monkey, how is Fergie sounding about all this? Blustery "its still business as usual" type stuff or has this one got to him? Amazed they let this fester if it was known in the summer.

It seems to have got to him.

He seems more bemused and upset than angry.

Bring me somebody who is able to have a conversation without reading the back of the Daily Mail to see how fúcked United are financially.

I'll bet you €100,000 right now, or anybody else, for that matter that United won't go bust before 2020.

Any of the United are fúcked brigade want to take me up on that?

ctrl-alt-delete · 19-10-2010 02:53PM

Are we going to get to hear from Wayne Rooney then?

Would be nice if he came out and explained his reasons, to give everyone else involved a chance to understand the situation as he sees it.

He sounded like a close relative had died

When was Rooney ever loyal? Look at the way he fucked over his childhood club Everton. The way he left them was a disgrace which United and Ferguson helped happen that way who deserve this shitstorm that they are in now.

I said loyal to United, what happened with Everton is irrelevant

He has said he wants to stay with United, loves United etc. etc., nearly sure I saw him throw a few digs at City, too.

Plus, Tevez isn't English so it'll always be different, tbh.

Yet he's a self confessed Everton fan and I believe will raise his kids as such. He also notoriously was "forever a blue". Is this really THAT suprising?

I don't see him being English as anything of note. Giggs is Welsh.

Hank Scorpio · 19-10-2010 02:54PM

Fergie quotes from skysports.com

"I was in the office on 14th August and David phoned me to say he wasn't signing a contract.

"I was dumbfounded. Only months before he was saying he was at the greatest club in the world.

"I asked to have a meeting with the boy. He reiterated what his agent said, that he wanted to go."

Sorry if its already been posted, this is such a surprise

TheDoc · 19-10-2010 02:54PM

The more saddending news for me and the bigger worry is Sir Alex himself.

You could see when he formed a team around Rooney and ronaldo that he had a new lease of life and a new hunger. To bring this team which he felt would be an unstoppable force, and in many ways he was right.

United should have been a dominating European force with Rooneyand ronaldo at the helm.

Having two players that he pretty much nurtured to glory, turn on him like this and leave for pastures anew must break his heart as it would break anyones.

Winning doesnt seem to be the end all. You can see he gets tremendous pride and challenge from forging new teams into winners when many think otherwise, how people still doubt his teams is beyond me.

I'd be worried that this might make SAf question his ability to keep building teams to get success if his best creations simply leave him.

I've no doubt that Rooney wouldnt be half the player if he wasnt coached and mentored by the united staff.

He made a right balls of career in my view, and I dont think he is a hot commedty as he might feel.

He has been terribly out of form and doesnt look to improve anytime soon, and having a difficult situation at home doesnt make things better.

Also having one good goal scoring return for united doesnt exactly give him the right to this ego trip. Granted he was played out of position, he ws played out of position because of a portugeuse lad who was streets ahead of him.

SAf is a stonethrow to the old days of management. Let him rot on the bench till his contract expires, teach him a hard lesson.

Debt 2017. Also a bet has to be settled at sometime. But that's probably hard for you to figure out eh? 6s and 7's?

Debt is being taken care of, thanks very much.

If you can't see that Liverpool came within a hairs breath of following Leeds, and that United are only a few steps behind Liverpool on that same path, you must be blind.

The one advantage Liverpool has over United is that they managed to hold onto their two best players. If the loss of Rooney pushes Untied into fifth at the end of this season it's goodbye to the the top 4 for many years to come.

Doubt Rooney will go to City, aren't they already in trouble with FIFA/uefa over their huge wage bill? Also based on recent form, they don't need him.

ctrl-alt-delete · 19-10-2010 02:56PM

For people questioning his loyalty,

He couldn't be loyal to his wife, that is the type of person he is, Why would he treat the club any different.

British players should understand it more than South Americans(Yes I know they have rivalries in SA, too;)). I'd be disappointed in him, because he'd know right well what it'd mean to the United fans if he moved to City. And to be fair, we have treated him like a God since he moved here.

I never said anything about going bust, I'm talking about utd not be able to compete with the big clubs in the transfer market, thus affecting their on field performances, this debt has to have some affect, we had to learn the hard way at Liverpool

Refusing to answer a question or back-up their statements. A sure sign of someone clearly talking out of their a$$.

I get your point, but from a certain perspective United might look like a better option.

Through the years of transition I cant remember a season where United still werent up there or there abouts.

Liverpools transitions see them slump so far.

united squad as a whole looks alot more attractive, from starting eleven even to the bench.

As a striker also, he might feel that the service and players around him might suit him better to advance himself.

I know I'd rather play up front of a united team that has passes fed by scholes, crosses throw in by nani and valencia and short 1-2's with Berbatov..

Rather been lumped up on my own feeding of scraps from mediocre players : /

Will be gutted to lose Rooney. Cant understand at all why he wants to leave. Hope he goes abroad.

Man Utd >>>> any player. As always, we'll come back stronger.

They will remain a top four side, only because the league is full of teams who look brilliant one week, and either mediocre or awful the next!
