Yep just pending a medical from what i have read today. Good player and City definitely missed out on him. Pellegrini managed him last season and he did well at Malaga.

I don't see whats so great about this to be honest.
7th isn't where Rooney should be aiming for (even considering RvP at the same club, Bale, Aguerro), and to be honest it isn't even close.
By all means "fluff" the figures by talking about "contribution" (which in itself is a bit of a loose definition), but one of the greatest players at the club and at the club who won the league, at his best he should be contributing a lot more.
And no Mata is no comparison - at the end of the day they were fighting for 3rd/4th at the end of the season, not 1st.

Good, less chance of us getting him if they keep the price up
------------------------------------
Its all rubbish him coming to us anyway. I read the other day he was off to Barca lol He is looking to leave (or up his pay packet) and Arsenal have a "War Chest" to spend. 1 + 1 = 3... lol
A journalist will then ask Wenger "What do you think of Rooney", he replies "I think he is a great player"
Conclusion: Wenger is going to buy Rooney!
If he leaves it will spark him back into life but I can't see anyone coming in for him that are considered better than or equal to Utd.

I thought Juve signed Fernando Llorente on a free?
Yeah they do have him, signed a pre-contract if I remember correctly so he's likely not officially a player until July.
I don't think we're striving to be another ManU tbh
You don't strive to be the most successful club in England?
I never understood how players agree terms without the clib acceping a bid? Or am I following the protocol of FM here??
The "tapping up" rules haven't existed for years, agents can sound out a contract with a club before the bid is accepted.

Seems to be the same reported with Higuain and Thiago.
The fact there are so many foreign players in England and then they link up Internationally, things are going to be said.
Take De Gea. He's already good friends with Thiago. You don't think the club won't have put the idea in his head to speak to him, sound him out? It definitely happens.

He looks like a decent signing by all accounts, particularly from what I've heard from German football reporters & not a bad price all things considered.
As he's been playing as a striker it might mean we're not going to bother getting anyone else in for that role & go with him, Lukaku, Ba & Torres which will do.
It might also mean that Moses is let go too (as well as Marin) as Schurrle can play LW, Moses had about 40 games last season if I'm not mistaken so they'll be plenty of opportunities for Schurrle, if he's good enough

I said we're not striving to be another ManU. By this I mean we have a different approach at Arsenal, so what might work at OT (ego's and celebrity), does not work at Emirates. It is very naive of you to assume that we want the the OT rejects like Rooney, or that we somehow need them to stand a chance of being having ManU-like success; this is another example of the ManU ego where every other club is expected to worship 'the club' and follow their model for success, rather than doing their own thing, including some making mistakes along the way.
ManU may need our cast-offs but we don't need yours (dolphinhead aside)
