Even SAF stressed that we wanted to keep Rooney, and advised him to think carefully about his future career; we've had United stalwarts past & present telling the media how important Rooney is, and advising him to stay; our new manager praised Rooney constantly for his efforts...and yet it's United that's at fault? Is it feck. This Chelsea deal has been in the works for ages, and Rooney doesn't know the meaning of the word loyalty.

Chelsea haven't made a 2nd bid though and the first one has been rejected. It could well be about Rooney, but we can only wait and see.
It's Bebe isn't it?
You don't know any of these, though.
It's going to be Garay. By all accounts that deal is in advanced stages while we're not reported to be even close to landing anyone else.
Really not sure who this is about. Not too excited if it's Garay, and I don't see why he would need to jump on a plane to leave Australia a few days early for him because it doesn't seem like it's 'urgent transfer business'. Something like Rooney would make more sense, but the club said it isn't Rooney related. There hasn't been any other stories really about any other incomings that seem plausible either. Hopefully its a big player we managed to keep under the wraps for a while, but I doubt it. More then likely is one of Baines or Garay, not too thrilled with either.
telling you, I've never ever known a transfer season like this one. It's huge entertainment, it's got highs and lows, rage and calmness, viciousness and gentleness. It's just like a soap opera...
Perhaps Fabregas has had a change of mind 
It has to be a target that has become available and it has taken us by surprise. Otherwise surely woodward either wouldn't have gone to oz or would have arranged a meeting for afterwards?
His long lost younger brother. Separated at birth. Moyes has not seen him play.
It's either an incoming transfer or giving Rooney a contract.
Last time after everything came out in public Gill pretty much sat with Stretford all day to sort his contract out. Better to nip it in the bud and stop speculation.
I sincerely hope its a signing.

Where in the world is Ed Woodward?
This is what I came to post a half hour ago but I was swept away on a wave of optimism and forgot to post.
Bashing F5 every ten seconds didn't help either, mind.
Is he a big enough name to fly back early, he was supposedly going home at the weekend, so couldn't it have waited?
Its almost certainly this. Im convinced fab is imminent and have been since rumours began on mondayPerhaps Fabregas has had a change of mind
Maybe this Messi business isn't a total joke...
There is not enough money in the world to purchase his services
How long is the flight? Will he have internet access on the plane to make email bids? Will he make those emails public to the Caf?
Questions questions.
Questions questions.
Honestly going to wager it is about Fellaini.
Well the muppet in me says that the Garay deal has been in the pipeline for so long that surely it can't be that urgent... but I refuse to get carried away.
By this logic it's unlikely to be Fellaini either, as he has a release clause. Baines... it's not Woodward we need for him but Moyes.

Manchester United say [executive vice chairman] Ed Woodward's return from United's Australia tour to handle transfer negotiations has nothing to do with Wayne Rooney. It is to do with something else
Giggs may be involved.
It's Bale obviously. We've held Levy hostage and he has to go urgently and get him to sign all the documents before people realize that he is missing.
We need that Gif from the Thiago thread where Bolingbroke is on the bonnet of the car but in this one the driver is Woody.
I was commenting that I reckon it's bollocks that Woodward is returning for an incoming transfer, in my opinion it's to iron out the best deal for selling Shrek.
Why would he fly back and get us all excited just for Leighton fecking Baines, Fellaini or Garay? They can be put on hold until deadline day, who cares.
I don't believe we're signing Garay. Innocent until proven guilty, I say.
Rooney plus £s for Bale?!

I'm really glad he included that second sentence.
Flying back for a deal already in the pipeline or in advanced stages before you left makes no sense. Else why leave in the first place? In my opinion this is something that's come to ahead, possibly suddenly, over the last few days.
Surely selling Rooney could wait too? Particularly until there's a concrete plan in place to replace him. Plus if Jose is to be believed he's going to be the main Chelsea target for the remainder of the window.
Apparently United have told Chelsea they'll need to pay 80m to get him.
Barca have no reject our Cesc bid yet. I think that they have sent through a fax this morning saying that they want to work out a swap deal for Rooney and Cesc. Now that would be a triple score.
1. Get rid of that miserable fake haired cnut Rooney.
2. Bring that beautiful greasy haired bastard Cesc to OT
3. Rooney or Bust Jose? Stick that up your cock you special twat.

Is Garay a necessity? Does that mean Vidic is practically finished/on his way out?
Buy another center back, paper over the midfield.
To Madrid. Rooney + £30 million for Ronaldo
Then we buy Fabregas for £35 million
Not that there is even the remotest chance but if that happened I think my head would actually explode with excitement.
