Would that affect his Champions League eligibility?!

Pretty sure it doesn't.

Can't wait for this season, hoping to get over to 15 games and let out my season ticket for the rest. Rooney has a great chance to get 20+ goals if no other striker is brought in.

If you're a betting man PaddyPower are doing a decent offer bet 20 quid on top goalscorer and every time the player scores you get a 2 euro freebet, if you fancy Rooney for 20+ the bet will pay for itself,i'm thinking of backing him and Giroud.

Do i have to... okay

Yea, still makes no sense. If he has a release clause, put the money down and away we go.

Not that i'm convinced he's an upgrade on whats there already...

Jesus he's miles ahead of anything there with the exception of Di Maria, like Di Maria though I don't believe he will fit in at United.

Rafael joining Lyon.

Van Persie, Falcao, Di Maria , a lot of attacking threat gone. Pedro is decent, United need more then him if Rooney gets injured.

[DuffleKing]

Need a striker to score 20+ goals - that's not Rooney - and an established centre back.

I don't understand the willingness to pay £22m odd for another same same winger / attacking mf but reluctance to add another £10m for a verane or hummels who could anchor a title winning defence

I'd say you could offer Madrid the sun moon and stars and they wouldn't let Varane go.

Meant Otamendi 

Luckily I will have no input into transfer policy or we could end up with Charlie Austin unveiled in the nbr 5 jersey and everyone looking a little confused

They have Hernandez and Wilson.

[STREET FIGHTER]

What is the opinion of Wilson in the eyes of UTD fans?

Is he going to make it or head to Sunderland in the next few years?

Hernandez will be gone before the end of the window. And Wilson has a lot to prove yet.

Not too impressed at all, be surprised if he ever makes  it at the top level unless he improves a lot which is possible at such a young age.

I'm willing to hold fire on Wilson though the signs are not brilliant at the moment. A lot of the game time he has got he has been deployed out wide or late in games - he can only be judged if he gets a run in the side, through the middle. now it's hard to see that happening so a bit of a catch 22.

I see there seems to be a fee back to Madrid for the Di Maria fee which reduces the cash in to around £40m.  Pretty nasty shift of money lost in 12 months.  Pedro and Depay would want to rip it up for you boys to show some intent.

Do tell, not seeing this anywhere on reliable United sites?
