I wonder which shoulder it is Rooney's injured? lol

It would be nice if the club just come out with the truth and be honest about the situation, rather than making up injuries to hide his stupidity.

Its just a matter of time before Man Utd receive a third bid and then l think he will be off to Chelsea as why keep a player who clearly wants to go.

Errrr because we won't strengthen one of our rivals

I don't think he will be sold, even if he puts in a transfer request.

Well we shall see what happens in the coming weeks as we have seen it all before with clubs refusing to sell players and then bingo before the close of the transfer window they sell the player.

Meh. Don't think Rooney still strengthen them that much. If the bid is big enough use it to strengthen your own team. Modric + another striker ?

We're in no desperate need for money, theres plenty there to spend. It makes no sense to sell him to Chelsea. Despite what people think/say he is a top quality player, he didn't have a good season last year because of injuries and being played out of position. If he stays injury free playing up front he will score 30 a season easy.

Utd don't sell him now they'll get nothing like the fee mentioned in 12 months time + his costing a quarter of a million a week in wages and he'll start to disrupt the squad soon, long may the status quo continue.

This is an interesting summer transfer window.

Really curious how it will ultimately finish.

Like a soap opera,

"Confused? You won't be, after this week's episode of...Football Soap."
—"Will Moyes discover Rooney's affair with Chelsea...? Will AVB discover Bale's affair with Ronaldo? Will Suarez leave Liverpool, and will anyone care?"
"These questions—and many others—will be answered in the next episode of...Football Soap."

l can see many of these transfers going to the last few days of the transfer window due to the usual brinkmanship and sabre rattling by a lot of these clubs.

new quotes from Gordon Talyor in there confirming the contract does NOT state that we have to sell.





don't care what anyone says. this is war, and we're winning it.

We already knew that though...

Yeah it's been looking like that for a while really, otherwise the bid would have been accepted. Bored of this now, Arsenal should up the bid a bit to allow Liverpool to save face and offer one final offer. Then move onto other targets.
