Manchester United, that didn't last long. Seven up

[77dave]

Man U want Fabregas

Chelsea want Rooney

Barcelona meant to want Mata/Luiz

Three clubs should get a room, thrash it out

Of those 4 players I'd want Mata first and foremost, I think. Mata's only 25yo too

Fabregas and Luiz are 26, Rooney 27

[outragous76]

Lol Chelsea! You paid £50m for Torres! Get that cash out!

Sell Rooney, buy ronaldo. Everyone happy

[booder]

Breaking news.....

Rooney is to join Chelsea on Monday after wife Coleen agreed personal terms with John Terry.

How much do you value Rooney at?

[dwayne110]

It's all a bit of a mess for United this... think they'd very likely sell him to a foreign club but seems suicidal to sell him to Chelsea, would very likely hand them the league. At the same time it's going to create so much destructive negativity if he's fetching for a move & it's in the media every day (which he clearly seems to be judging by the lack of communication with Moyes, public leaks of 'anger', etc). Not really what Moyes needs in his opening months in charge! When you look at how Arsenal have suffered in recent seasons with the RVP, Fabregas and Nasri transfer sagas it's not good. If he wants to go I'd let him and move forward as quickly as possible.

Although I agree Moyes doesn't need the drama, and ideally we should off load aboard, and you would always sooner have a (happy) Rooney than not, we have bought Zaha, so providing we can buy a midfielder who knows what he is doing going forward (fellani, fabregas etc), I think we can afford to lose him from a team point of view. Id just sooner it wasn't to Chelsea.

With any luck, if he goes to London he will go off the rails (purely meant in a footballing capacity, I wish him no harm)

[Ant040689]

From what I have seen of Zaha pre season and in the charity shield, I think he has been told to be much more of a passer and tame his flair for the sake of the team. So I think you might not see the most of him until he gets the balance right with you guys of when to pass and when to charge forward and take players on. He will be at his most fierce when counter attacking and given the freedom to take the man on.

I am excited about watching him for Man U next season and hopefully seeing him flourish into, eventually, an indispensable England player.

Like Ronaldo at the start of his career?

Lol dunno if serious comment or sarcastic because of my comparisons to him before

don't sell him and let him rot in the reserves !

[c4ught]

Why let him rot in the reserves? Looked to be putting in effort when he was on the pitch despite not celebrating with the team.

[Marky147]

I was doing a few other things whilst watching, but from what I saw he played pretty well when he came on.

[outragous76]

because teams are about morale, shared success.

We are in a new era, we don't need a fat prick like Rooney acting like a 5 year old (I really like him as a footballer but can stand this kind of petulance)

It just needs 1 high profile footballer to ruin his own career in his best years and others might think twice. Ruin his year, make him fat, make him miss the world cup.

[c4ught]

I see what your saying, he appeared to be putting in the effort though during the game.

On the overweight subject, is Anderson carrying some extra weight or just a very well built fella?

I don't even think he is fat! just annoyed at him

He can of course choose to do what he likes! Do it with dignity
