I would take £60m for Rooney in a heartbeat in most circumstances, but I'm not entirely confident that Fergie would re-invest it in a way that gives equal or higher impact than Rooney himself.
Fergie to let Rooney go?

£60 million my arse.....for a player who goes missing for a third of every season, who you never know is going to be world class or emile hesky from game to game and who is constantly letting off the field shit affect his form, we would be lucky to get thirty.
If we're offered 60m for him, you'd have to consider it. Only though if it was totally put towards re-investing in the squad.
No because 60m wouldn't buy a player of Rooney's quality. If Carroll is worth £35m, he must be worth at least 120m.
Carroll isn't worth £35 million.
You can not use carrolls transfer as any sort of benchmark, because if you do the fat bloke off the go compare adds is worth forty million.
The thing is, who would buy Rooney? Rooney is a player who does not have the ability to play in a league such as La Liga IMO. I think his best attributes are solely adapted perfectly for the Premier League. I don't think any foreign club would think he is worth anything over £40m at very most, except a novelty purchase such as PSG or Anzi, where I doubt Wayne would want to play.
I think City could do without Rooney if I'm honest, they don't really need him as such. Equally with Chelsea, it seems like AVB is championing better quality football at Chelsea than traditional British 'up and at 'em' style. Rooney really wouldn't fit into AVB's plans at all.
I don't see any team in the world who could afford what we would value him at, and for that price a player like Rooney is far far far too big a risk to introduce to a new league IMO.

Can't sell him he's quite simply the best player in the league IMHO we should be looking to strengthen not weaken end off story!!
We're not going to sell him and if we do it won't be to City.
On current form he's nowhere near the best player in the league.
Carroll isn't worth £3.5 million.
Respect your opinion, I think for a team like us he is the best player in the league, however that doesn't necessarily make him the best player in the league because teams like Arsenal and now City are starting to play more technically advanced football than we do - where a player like Silva would be considered the best player in the league over someone like Rooney. As it stands, United play a way that suits Rooney and makes him arguably 'the best' but only really from our perspective.
There is a logic in that statement somewhere.. I hope I made it easy to understand.
I thought City wanted to meet FFP regulations?
One thing to pay £60m, another to reduce their wage bills which is bigger than the turnover. It's a story going nowhere.

If Torres is worth £50m Rooney is worth £40m (going off at their best.)
Players transfer values don't translate just on ability. There's too many variables between the selling club, the buying club and the player to start comparing the prices of players solely on ability. There is no common ground to draw these conclusions.
Sell him. Robson was 1.5 million, Irwin was 750000 and Cantona was 1.2 million. Robson is GOD and if we could get him for 1.5 then Rooney is worth about 10p. Last year might still have an affect on me opinions but feck it. The scouser will never be a hero of mine. 60 million pounds ha ha ha. Sell sell sell ffs
This is my favourite part. Maybe we should go all out and have someone do up a bat signal with the picture of some type of friendly tramp?
For transfer emergencies only, naturally.
Anyone who still holds a grudge against Rooney for seeking a new contract is a childish moron. And anyone who actually wants Rooney to be sold after nearly eight years of fantastic service is a scumbag who doesn't deserve to support the club.
Manchester United want Luka Modric to keep Wayne Rooney happy | Mail Online
As if Spurs would sell in January. And Modric really would appease Rooney?

Agreed.
I don't like ganging up on posters, except Uppercunt, but that's a cracker of a line!
Nor do I, but when the guy's an obvious bullshitter then, well, he kind of has it coming.
He's come up with nothing apart from derivative info that he passes off as his own.
feckin' bully.
Didn't the Glazers promise Rooney the world class players would be bought last year?
Is this the reason why Rooney isn't happy or is it simply a bust up with SAF?

Yes, anyone who wants a player who is inconsistent, not loyal, tried to hold the club to ransom and who is generally completely unprofessional is a moron.
There is definitely no grey area there whatsoever.
Grow up.
Oh do feck off.
Hasn't he said he has no issue with anyone and is committed to the club or have I missed something?
Who was it in the really old thread about Rooney nearly ten years ago when he was braking through at Everton who was angry that the media were linking him with Man United?
I recall it being bumped 18 months ago or so, comedy gold.

Words of wisdom from days gone by, take a bow gentlemen.
We wouldn't sell an over the hill Heinze to Liverpool, why would we sell Rooney to City?
Hindsight can make many look foolish. I remember paying out on a bet after Scott Minto didn't become England's first choice left back.
Did i really say that, and Joaquin
To be fair Joaquin looked brilliant until injuries pretty much ruined him.
I was convinced that Robben would be world player of the year within five years when he came to Chelsea.
I think what makes it epic is that they were so 'strong in their views' about it.
