    Rumours are he s off to China? 35m f ing hell I’d rip their arm off! Plus the forty mill for the other two who recently left 70m plus to invest in some top talent.

    35m is what he’ll get paid annually mate. I don’t think a fee’s been agreed but I’d offer them as much as 20 mill to take him. Joking aside, we should get 30 mill at least you’d think. They’ll make a fortune out of marketing him.

    Great news indeed if true. Can have Young and Bastian too!.

    I hope if he does go he gets the send off his Manchester United career deserves. Been sad to watch him the last couple of years and too many of us forget just how good he has been. But he’s our greatest ever goal scorer and has more than earned the right to leave with his head held high.

    Great news too but Cannavaro said ‘Rooney doesn’t suit the club style of play’.

    Hope its true but fear its not. He’s in no hurry, he doesn’t need the money, we’re in with good chances of cup medals, he can move in the summer which gives him more time to make graceful exit and get the family ready.

    I want him out of the team but he has earned the right to get a honorable exit.

    Ha ha…nice one Fabio, “style of play” indeed. It’s just an expensive version of whose got the biggest willy, they’re being paid to promote China and show off wealth not play football.

    If we can get Rooney off the wage bill and make a decent amount of money in the process – we should bite anyone’s hand off. He is not playing and, quite frankly, should not play again given his abysmal performances in recent years, plus his wages can be given to not one but TWO high-calibre players!

    If we get an offer of 20m+ we should take it without a shadow of a doubt.

    @Sympathy-We should pay the likes of Rooney,Schweinsteiger and Young to leave,even if we do not receive any transfer fees.

    Great player in his day Wonderfuel Gas or whatever your name used to be but, as you say, not for years. And he’s been rewarded very handsomely. I can’t understand why so much sentiment for these overpaid has beens.

    Greatest goal scorer in our history mate…and a big part in some of the finest moments in my memory. We’ve a lot to thank him for and even though he let himself down with the transfer request, he only said what many of us were thinking at the time about the Glazers.

    Should have either given up the beer, wine and fags when Fergie left or joined Chelsea, as the dark lord had been planning.

    Anyway, we’re a sentimental club and I would rather remember the Rooney of Old than the old slugger trying to land one lucky last punch these days. He’s a legend for me.

    #1438796

    @redblood – to be honest I still think Young can offer something, he can play on both channels in both defense and the wings which is a pretty good thing to have, he can be a handy player to have when you’re competing in loads of matches and need someone to fill in for the first teamers.

    On rooney and Schweinsteiger I pretty much agree, though if we can get paid for them… why not? 😉

    Fair enough Wonderfuel. I guess I’m a little less sentimental about these very lucky overpaid bastards than you are mate.

    Sympathy for the Devils – Redblood had a list of players who he wanted to get rid of in August but as the season has progressed more and more names have dropped off the list, namely Valencia and Jones. No doubt if Young plays a few more matches like he did against Blackburn his name will drop off the list too.

    @Sympathy & MT-Don`t get me wrong lads,ideally only Fellaini,Darmian and Bastian would have been moved mid-season.I was thinking come summer,not now.We are still fighting in 4 fronts,so all the players are needed,exept the useless lumps of turd in Fellaini and Darmian,plus Shweini who is old and get paid like £265k p/w.Rooney,Young,Carrick deserve to be given a proper goodbye @ the end of the season,hopefully with a trophy or two.

    #1438886

    @redblood – I’d actually prefer Carrick staying on an extra year and Lingard being shipped out – agreed on Fellaini, Darmian and Schweinsteiger though.

    Rooney cannot be sold. He is a club legend. He can still contribute to the team.
    E.g. He saved us with his world class freekick vs Stock.
    Next season we will be fighting for the Champions League trophy. We will need him.

    1 player that need to be shipped out is Jess Lingard. He is another Kieran Richardson!

    Big decision for Rooney to make now. He’d have liked the move on his terms this summer but it seems the offer might not be on the table by then. The egg timer is ticking.

    It’s a decision I wouldn’t mind making though….China on £35m a year for two seasons staying at Old Trafford for an extra three months where I don’t have to do anything except nod once a week when the boss tells the press I’m sick again.

    I will be very pleasantly surprised and even amazed if Rooney goes to China at all,never mind during this window.For us to actually get his obscene wages off the bill would be a result in itself,never mind possibly getting a fee as well!.Lets hope it’s not all just ‘chinese whispers’!.
