Arsenal to pursue Rooney again? drunken

by RealGunner Fri Aug 09, 2013 2:09 am

I wish. Why not just pay 40m for him :facepalm:

by Kick Fri Aug 09, 2013 2:10 am

I hope we can get him for less than 40m tbh.

You have 3-4 strikers already. We have 1 lol

by Red Alert Fri Aug 09, 2013 2:12 am

He's on 250k a week lol.

He'll kill your structure of the wage bill.

Walcott, Cazorla, Wilshere and co will want parity of Rooney's wages.

With that said, go for him. More of a chance of getting Wayne than Luis. I'm also one of the few that rate Rooney on this forum... I think he's as good, if not better than Luis if used right. (And that's coming from someone who rates Luis A LOT.)

You and I both know Rooney won't go to Arsenal just because it make is fair.

Also, Torres is not a CF.

Any who. Chelsea prepared to put a third bid in according to the Guardian.

Yeah. Not surprised. By what Jose is saying, we're not going to give up on Rooney yet.

by Red Alert Fri Aug 09, 2013 9:42 am

Chelsea will fight for the league if they get him. Mad

Worst part is, with the likes of Oscar, Lukaku, van Ginkel, Hazard, Azpilcueta, Courtios, Mata all relatively young, it look's like a promising future for Chelsea. Sad

by Kick Fri Aug 09, 2013 9:45 am

I know

Hope Moyes stays strong. Who am I kidding? Rolling Eyes

by Kick Fri Aug 09, 2013 10:12 am

He is ours, just a question of the price.

by Dutti Fri Aug 09, 2013 10:18 am

Never thought I would see the day when Chelsea fans and Arsenal fans fight one another over Rooney. Proud

Really sad times.... Give me Eto'o or Suarez.

Mourinho:

"There is no time limit," said Mourinho.

"We have our squad of strikers. We have identified the player as one we would look to have with us."

"We are doing things legally, making the official bid directly to the club, no interviews or comments or direct relations with the player, no contact, absolutely nothing.

"We have done it in an ethical way and we are going to do that until the last day. And we will see how it comes."

Manchester United have taken the top-level decision that Wayne Rooney will not be sold to Chelsea no matter how much money is offered or whatever the potential risks of keeping an unhappy player. Their stance is irreversible and will represent a significant setback for José Mourinho, who had been under the impression a deal to take him to Stamford Bridge was only a matter of time.

Fair enough if Moyes is going to have Rooney as regular starter, but if Moyes is going to keep Rooney as back-up for Van Persie - like he said earlier in the summer, "if something was to happen to Robin, we'd need Rooney then" - then this is a bit of a dick move by United. The lad isn't after more money, he just wants to be playing a lot and in his preferred position as striker.

by B-Mac Wed Aug 14, 2013 9:03 am

it's about not giving into a player, oh I wanna go play for Chelsea now, ya well to bad you have a contract you signed when you wanted more money and the club gave it to you, so honour it. you win trophies and make a shit ton of money...nobody is going to feel bad for you...and there is no reason to want to leave.

by Art Morte Wed Aug 14, 2013 9:38 am

Sure there's reason to leave if he wants to play more, but other than that I'm all for honoring contracts. I just don't totally get why United are so very reluctant to let him leave.

Well its quite similar to the Pool-Suarez situation really.Why would United strengthen a direct rival ? Absolutely no reason to do so.And i dont put much weight into the Arsenal rumors.Chelsea are the only club with concrete interest and its totally a sensible decision to not let him go there.

You cant blame United for not letting him go to Chelsea.
