I dont think there gonna get that much for him!! He can buy his contract out for 5mill and leave next summer for free!! He can do that then recieve a massive signing on fee!!

Theyve gotta give Everton 25% of anything over 25mill, but i think it has to be done by a certain date!!

I reckon he'l go for 30 max, all tho if City gets bidding who knows!!

 

True United fans are aware of the real situation its just a few stupid fanatics that cant except it. A declining United will still make the Top 6 because the standard outside that is at a low ebb.
Arrogance comes from Domination i remember the total arrogance of the Liverpool fans when they ruled the roost for 15 years. Nothing wrong with that, other teams have to win the right to have arrogant fans .

Personally im glad Rooney is leaving i didnt want Teves or Ronaldo to leave though. I just cant stand the fat little scouser never have he will cause trouble wherever he goes im sure because he aint as good as he thinks or the hype suggests.

 

Can't see it. David Gill is meant to have spoken to the Glaziers and has had a meeting with Fergie from 10am today. Phil Mcnulty the BBC sports editor reckons it'll be a case of the saying its go too far now, no way back for him a la Ruud, Beckham, Keane. Rooney released his story statement 2 hours before the game last night as well.


Thought you might post that as it slots in with your theory. We know things aren't rosey at United and we'd rather have new owners but I just don't see this being related to the Glaziers IMO and reckon if you asked most football fans they'd think of other reasons too.

The Glaziers have been here since 2005 and who have we bought in that time who is a galatico, even before their time, probably only Veron. Berbatov was £30m under the Glaziers yes but no one else came and was probably only that much because Spurs/Levy drive a hard bagain (see Carrick) and City were bidding for him also. When we spent most under them, around £50m that summer on Nani, Anderson, Hargreaves only Hargreaves was the known star, even Tevez for loan wasn't at that point, few games for West ham and save them, West ham hero if anything. Nani and Anderson are signings like Rooney himself was at 18 or Ronaldo at 18, fairly pricey young potentials more for the future.

Its ironic that Rooney now apparently disapproves of signings which lead to those Premier leagues and European finals. Again Bebe and Hernandez, certainly Chicharito is spot on like a Rooney signing, youngish player who then had a good World cup/Euro close to the transfer (either side of).

Just a smoke screen IMO and probably written and prepared by his agent Paul Stretford, the same guy who was dealing with him when Everton didn't want to lose him. Its got to be more money, to avoid the constant press on him or his family troubles. The Glaziers not buying a big player doesn't really compare and its no secret he has private issues and that he likes to gamble.

Ferguson hasn't always told the truth, neither have other players, things get covered up, remember Ronaldo saying he's staying and at the right club then moving months later? If I was Rooney first of all I'd be gutted I was that ugly but secondly I'd be saying the same, using the Glaziers is a perfect smoke screen. Man United FC has never been a club to make every signing it makes a big one, it tends to be a mixture of pricey ones, unknowns/young or their own youth. What about Schmeichel, Ole, Teddy, would he approve of them?

If he joins City then its for money, if he joins Chelsea on not that much of a super contract then it 'could' be for ambitions. If he moves to Real then press reasons could be the motive.

It'll probably come out at some point, whichever.
