They are trying to cancel out the Hummus deal the cnuts.
Still worth it.
Dont think they apply if we are not in European competition? Means we just need to dump a load of players if we ever get back there....
I'm sure this has been posted a few times but just in case anyone missed it...
Man, Sky and BBC are running this story. Sky have suspended betting on him joining as well. I'll be very, very happy if we announce this on Monday morning!
Just because Rooney is a better player than Januzaj, doesn't mean he will play better on the wing. If this was Rooney from a couple of years ago that could still beat players Rooney would hands down play over Januzaj on the wing. He doesn't beat players that often anymore and he hasn't played on the wing in a long time.
He is one of the best players in the world, just behind Messi/Ronaldo.

Beautiful
Been doing some stuff round the house today, came on here to see if anything was happening, and it would appear so.
I wouldn't go that far myself, yes he's spent, but if you do a squad comparison with the other teams knocking on that door ours is still unbalanced.
Yeesh.
So who does he makes his PSG debut against?
United cannot afford the financial risk to not pay what Real Madrid ask for.
We need Di Maria, Vidal, and Blind.
Sky and BBC are both reporting on it so my cock is wondering if its going to making an appearance...
Never really rated him.. Well actually I did but 2 or 3 seasons ago when he partnered Xabi in a midfield 2. But that seems like ages ago. Maybe he needs a change of scenery because I know he can be a great player, hasn't really shown it lately (his injury didn't help) altough I liked him at the WC.
Again talking about money, why do you care so much? Isn't having a player of Di Maria's quality playing for us enough?
Then he should have spent it to balance it more.
And our squad matches up pretty well to most tbh. I take the average of last 2/3 years as base point. Not just last season like some.
*Woodwards negotiating*
"£60m? How about £59.9m?"
Really? that's good news. I've little to no confidence in some of our options in CM and at the back. Strengthening those positions is key, rather LVG is a miracle worker or not. The first game says otherwise.
Wrong if Di Maria settles we are dead cert for the CL, signing Benatia + De Jong brings us right back into the title race. With an explosive player like Di Maria our forward line will be too hot to handle, suddenly there is someone scaring defenders with pace and trickery meaning that there is more space for Mata to operate in and we have goals, plenty of them in RvP and Rooney. That front four alone is more than enough to get us into the top four.
The other thing is that what he's saying actually makes sense. There's a lot of politics at Madrid and Balague was articulating just why this is happening. That's the clincher for me.
Robbie Williams is in with a shout.
I wouldn't be at all surprised....
I think Madrid looked at him as a different type of player then he actually is, and he wasn't Madrid quality anyways. Madrid saw him as a defensive mid when he's a box to box player who's best qualities are his energy and strength and pressing. Defensively he's not got great positioning and isn't a holding midfielder, or an anchor man or whatever, but plenty of people seem to think he is for whatever reason.
It does not matter how much we pay for him. We have shit loads of cash. We are bringing in quality which is always nice.
Can we please thank PSG for spending £50 million on David Luiz!
Finally! I said that earlier yesterday, and I firmly believe it fits perfectly. We just need the right lyrics.
Rooney being left out of these fantasy line ups ffs.
First name on the team sheet.
First name on the team sheet.
That's brilliant, but you could put Kermit's head on the monkeys. Then it'd be a perfect 10.
I read this and don't really understand why we're signing Blind if we're looking at another CM too. Surely Blind would be signed to play CM, considering we have Shaw and now Rojo who can play LB...the only reason I can think of is because he can play in a few positions and would be a handy back up for us but would we really pay 20 million for a back up player?
Spot on.
Maybe not. Januzaj has proven that even when the shit hits the fan, he'll soldier on. That's emotional maturity that Louis Van Gaal craves. He may yet play more often than not.
Is the 10 million add-ons in the 75 million or could it be 85 million?
£50m for him would be about right. 60m and it's getting silly, but we're not in a position to bargain. Glad we're paying it either way.
I rate him very highly and hope he plays a lot more this year, but I doubt it would be at Rooney's expense.
