Last I heard Madrid were planning to sell both Benz and Higuain, so it's not as though there would be a conflict between Rooney and Benzema.

Well Mou was a big influence in the players decision making in wanting to leave us. Now that he's certainly gone, I don't know if both will leave.

Lack of Ramires is unsettling too

Was decent there today imo.

I'd rather have Luiz at CB and buy a CM but that was current lineup with Rooney added.

Ramires doesn't fit in the pivot. Sad

Higuain will go to psg, benzema will stay and i think rooney to madrid is definately possible if ancelotti takes over, they really rate rooney the italians.

If Rooney goes to Bayern, then Lewandowski is moving to Madrid i think.

Neither Real Madrid nor its fans care a single bit about FC Barcelona :coffee:

Why would they even want him! Seems they are just loaded (that too with quality players) upfront.

The build up play would be immense!

Ramires is missing. Get him in there for Mikel or Luiz and if you guys get Mou, you'll be strolling to the league title next season.

Yeah makes No sense playing 2 DMs. Especially since they are top 3 in defense and goals conceded with just 1 DM and with the exact lineup except for Rooney.

This Lineup would challenge for the Title

Cech
Azpilicueta Ivanovic New CB* Cole
Luiz Ramires
Mata Oscar Hazard
Rooney

by Kick Thu May 09, 2013 9:36 am

Luiz barely plays DM when in the pivot. He's much too attack minded for that.

If I'd have posted that, I'd prolly be swamped by rustled replies of irritated Rooney fans who can't imagine he wouldn't want the frontline of any club, so I decided for the financial argument Razz

by Great Leader Sprucenuce Thu May 09, 2013 11:09 am

Tbh if there is any position Bayern need to strengthen its upfront with a genuinely quality striker.

Don't get me wrong Mandzukic is very good but he's not Rooney level.

I can see why they would want him, but his wages do seem a bit of a stalling point i'd imagine.

Roma are tracking Toulouse's Etienne Capoue (rated at 12m) and Ajax's Toby Alderweireld (rated at 8-10m). source - VoceGiallorossa via BBC-Calabresi

I could see Perez splashing the cash for Roonay.

would rather do a swap deal with Madrid Rooney for Arbeloa than sell him to Chelsea for 40 mil. Sad

Capoue has already said publicly that he's very close to moving to PSG.

Original quote « Il y avait des contacts cet hiver avec le PSG, et il y en a encore aujourd’hui, a-t-il déclaré sur beIN Sport. J’espère qu’il y en aura encore beaucoup. C’est sans doute tout proche aujourd’hui avec eux. » - See more at: http://www.football365.fr/france/ligue-1/e-capoue-en-contact-avec-psg-1013897.shtml#sthash.FYH9294O.dpuf

Translation "There were contacts made during the winter with PSG and they have continued today. I hope that it will remain this way. It's probably very close to happening with them."

Arbeloa is a champion so you'd be getting a RB who always shows up for big games.

Meh, I'm indifferent either way. We could use another midfielder, but we'll survive with who we have now. Capoue would be a decided upgrade to Marquinho though.

Um, Bayern scored 91 goals in 32 BL games and 29 goals in 12 CL games so far. What can they improve by adding Rooney? I mean, their main strength is the fact that they are scorers all over the place and they don't have one dangerman that can easily be shut down by proper marking.

Julian Draxler is about to extend his contract at Schalke to 2018.

Chelsea fans actually want Rooney? Have you guys not learned from the Shevchenko/Torres situations? Proud

Cavani, Jovetic, Higuain, Lewandowski & possibly Benzema are all available this summer. Hell, I'd even settle for Fluke-cao ffs.
