Man Utd Thread:

Hear hear.

The whole Rooney thing reminds me of the Gerrard/Chelsea saga a few years ago - wanted a new contract, wasn't getting what he wanted, handed in a transfer request - a few days later and the contract was agreed. All we need now is the United fans burning Rooney's shirt outside Old Trafford and it's almost an exact replica of the situation

Where in this article does he say he would join City?

Have to say that headline has to be in the running for the most misleading headline ever.

Am I the only one that thinks this whole Rooney thing is just a load of old shite??

The story is now starting to turn towards Rooney not being happy with lack of investment in new 'world class' players. Could it all be a cunning plan to get $$$ from the americans?

Are you seriously suggesting this? I thought you would have known better. You can't get blood out of a stone.

A lot of people in serious denial here.

in that case we can sign, altogether now -

Wayne Rooney, Rooney
he kisses the badge on his chest
then hands in a transfer request
Wayne Rooney, Rooney

The best source Sky have on the Rooney saga today is Mark bleeding Bosnich.

I think Bryan Swanson is going to self combust with excitement if the press conference doesn't start soon.

So it wasn't media bullshit.

[Square Ball]

he was offfered a new contract at the end of last season, March, and said he would stay, deceided to change his mind and move on, Fergie bermused.

Oh and when did he last score from open play?

March

That's my suspicion though I've nothing to base it on.

Simple fact is if he's not willing to do the business for United then the only option is to get what he is worth for him and move on. I think he is a silly, silly boy and may very well regret this.

Unbelievable, Ferguson looked devasted. There is def something wrong with this situation, I think that p***k of an agent has something to do with it, he has did the dirty a few times on business partners and obviously has Rooney's ear. Dont think he'll play again either. Im shocked, is this the beginning of the end of Utd as a top level club. Time to get the green and gold brigade fired up again.
