What? No youth development? I am talking to a brick wall, a clueless brick wall. I'm off to walk the dog.

Name them.

Just saw the FIFA 11 ad during half-time in the CL. Rooney in a Utd jersey features prominently.

Bring on the software patch!

No I would think he was telling him, you are hitting us with this so suddenly and whatever you do respect the club and what it stands for for the during off your stay.

No, apparently they've known since August.

I wonder has the ankle injury Rooney picked up against Bayern in the away leg any bearing on Rooneys state of mind ?
Did Ferguson force him back too quickly for the second leg ,Rooney has been atrocious since that incident.
Perhaps Rooney blames Ferguson for rushing him back and his subsequent poor form in the World Cup.
Just a thought .

What has happened:

- Wayne Rooney cheats on his wife and his personal life is in turmoil, subsequently his form is lost.
- Sir Alex tells Rooney to take a break and sort his head out, in the meantime he lies to the press LIKE HE DOES NEARLY EVERY WEEK (because he hates the press) and says Wayne Rooney is injured.
- When asked, Wayne Rooney says he is not injured.
- The press decide this is a contradiction of the boss, they decide that Rooney and Fergie have a fight and they decide that Rooney will be leaving Manchester United.
- The press print this non-story and all types of media run with it, as it is major if true.
- People hear this on the radio etc and as a result, people I know who dont really like football are coming up to me and saying "So Rooney is leaving United?"
- The Club come out and say its all nonsence. The only actual quote so far from anyone.
- A new thread was started about a rumour that should have been in the superthread.

What will happen:
- Wayne Rooney or Sir Alex will come out and say that there has been no breakdown in relations.
- Wayne Rooney will stay at Manchester United.
- The press, in an attempt to cover their gigantic pile of shíte story, will run a new story about how Fergie and Rooney had an "air it out" no holding back 1 to 1, heart to heart talk and Ferguson convinced Rooney to stay.
- Further rumours will be put in the superthreads, not have their own threads.

Thats how I see it, I may be wrong, but these stories pop up all the time, and I think this one is snowballing because Wayne Rooney is public enemy #1 in England at the mo... Oh yeah and the tabloids are absolute flith.

Completely wrong hahaha.

his poor form in the WC was because he knew the poop was about to hit the fan in his private life, i do believe there is some truth in what merson has just said in SSN and that he was tapped up, why would you want to leave the biggest club in the world ? DOUBLE YOUR WAGES IS WHY (IMO)

Rooney's take on it will be interesting.

Who knows why he wants out.

He seemed as happy there last year, in the form of his life.

Cleverley and Macheda will become first team regulars I would imagine.

In time we'll see Pogba, Eikrem, Morrisson and Keane maybe? and King.

That's a pretty good return in my book.

So, one.
And he's not good enough.

I wouldn't be taking Paul Merson's word as gospel.

He isn't the brightest chap at the best of times.

He isn't playing for Real.
There would be some poetic justice if he has been tapped up.

As to why he wants to leave, maybe he's looked around him and saw Michael Carrick standing in the same colour shirt and has realised the writing is on the wall.
Or maybe he went back to the dressing room and while putting something into his kitbag, he found that one of his new team-mates had moved in.

I did.
You named a host of Ipswich players of the future and Macheda.
Macheda is not good enough for a top team.

That is what I'm saying about the youth development. It's good to keep a few quid coming in, but it's not producing players who will make the first team.

addendum: and if I remember correctly, Macheda didn't come through the man utd youth system. Though I'm open to correction on that.

I named them, not Fuhrer.

I have high hopes for Cleverley, I think you may be right about Macheda not being a true youth developed by United but that's not to say we didn't give him what he needs to really step up. He's gonna be a cracking player.

Do you watch the United reserves or U18's?!

did vidic sign a long term deal this year? if rooney does go then you'd have to wonder about the better players that are left , will they become restless?

You sure you slipped up? Maybe you lack the ability to simply put one foot in front of the other and walk, the evidence would suggest it.

Top player wants to double his wages shocker from Merson.

MisterAnarchy · 19-10-2010 09:15PM

This whole thing stinks to high heaven.
On the back of his most successful season goals wise and performance wise Rooney decides that he wants to leave the club .
He won the Premiership player of the year and was voted the third best player in the world and had his best goals tally.
He is at one of the biggest clubs in the world ,certainly top 5 and it held in high regard by the fans .
Why would he choose to leave especially when the only bigger teams in World football dont really have any interst in him (Barca,Real,Chelsea) unlike Ronaldo who Real moved heaven and earth to sign.
It can only come down to one thing and one thing only,money ,the root of all evil.
Perhaps Rooney decided he should be the highest paid player at Utd (which he should ) and decided to play hard ball to get it.
He calls Utds bluff by saying he wont sign an extension to his contract ,he still has nearly 2 years left to run .
Somewhere along the line things have gotten out of control though and the contract negotiation strategy seems to have spiralled out of control into outright war.

Macheda will never be a cracking player.
He'll be a good sub, that's about it.

You can have all the hopes you want for Cleverly, but that won't make him a top player. He'll be at Ipswich, or whatever club Roy Keane is managing , in 4 years.

any one think that NESV might throw all their eggs in one basket and make rooney their marque signing in Jan , Rooney would really hack old fergie off then.

God i hope not. Don't want him at the club tbh.
