According to some here, that's the day some are looking forward to!

If SAF was right about him trying to get Villa, there must be the cash waiting for a huge signing at least, but who? Torres? I mean he'd probably leave but would they accept a bid now there is new owners? Trade for Ronaldo?!

Nobody would pay silly money for Torres, he's injured way too often...

ah right, i thought we bought Valencia for 17mill and some other expenditure. sure we didnt spend 80mill but we didnt just bank it all either.

Its not exactly good though is it? if it keeps happening, with the debt drain, you guys will be in the same crap we were in within a year or two.

Oh and also, it seems from the interview that the club has known for quite a while.

Therefore, Rooney has seemingly been stropping and hasn't had his heart there, hence the poor form.

I don't think I want to see him in our shirt again.

i will be selling him in my fifa 11 manager mode when i get home

Makes ronaldo look so much better, least he signed the big contracts, and let real pay the 80 million and did not hide his desire to go.

Alpherah · 19 Oct 2010 at 14:52

Ironically, im in my 3rd year on Fifa 11 and United sold Rooney to Juve, just this morning.

Robbo · 19 Oct 2010 at 14:52

What a moron Rooney has turned out to be. On and off the pitch.

Good thing Berbatov is better anyway now

D) he's settled in and Hernandez will play his heart out until we can hopefully get another decent striker in come January.

I wouldn't be at all surprised to see a Benzema+cash swap deal with Madrid coming up.

I'd take a straight swap for Higuain though but I couldn't see Madrid doing that

Sir Alex just looks like he wants to Cry

I'm not surprised. He probably treated Rooney like a son. He been stabbed in the back big time.

On my Football Manager game, Rooney wants to leave because I didn't accept a bid from Inter. Coincidence? :eek:

fozzybear · 19 Oct 2010 at 14:55

Looks like Football Manager 11 will need an early patch.

nikebee · 19 Oct 2010 at 14:55

does anyone have a link to the SAF MUTV video?

duc999 · 19 Oct 2010 at 14:56

So will we hear from Rooney about why he wants to leave or will the red tops let us know in their own way ?

The annoying thing with that is that if you sold him in the game, you'd get a lot more than we would in real life

If true, that's a more worrying thought for United if he goes to one of your rivals. Settled and happy and he suddenly starts showing promise again..

Wowwy, what a loss for Man U if he goes.

elmuzzy66. · 19 Oct 2010 at 15:02

AS a pool fan I'm quite amused with all this after the last couple of weeks, then i look at the table.

Bucket · 19 Oct 2010 at 15:05

It might not all be down to Wayne.

There is a possibility he is attempting to salvage his marriage, by moving out of the UK.

I think the only way this will be slightly indicated to is when we know where he ends up though.

I don't think anyone but City will want him..

Alpherah · 19 Oct 2010 at 15:05

Its all over Twitter at the moment that Rooney has a 25% Sell on clause as well

Everton stand to make a mint from him.

What I said to my friend, I bet Colleen has some say in this and let's face it where would you want to live? Manchester or Madrid? Although this is thrown out of the window if the speculation regarding Man C is true...

"Oh the sweet sweet irony of this day.

1) The mancs have gone on and on about Gerrard's decisions in 2005.

2) The unbelievable irony of Ferguson doing a press conference from a pre-written sheet of paper with the "facts" written down on it.
