Fergie to let Rooney go?

Sleep in peace everyone.
To release a statement this late hour and also over a story in the paper is very wierd.
No doubt whilst talking to them out his car window.
Not being funny cheesy, but how the feck do you know what influence Rooney has on the dressing room? I've never heard too many, if any, United players say a bad word about him, so what are you talking about?
yikes! why are the papers there so out of control? where do you go for good information?
Andy Carroll and £25 million? Sound good?
Someone at United briefs the Independent, causing them to run 4 pages on the story, then United issue a press release denying the story, before it has even appeared in full on the net.
It would be interesting to know who at United leaked the story in the first place. Given the 4 pages and the fact that it is in the Independent, I'd say it was likely to be Sir Alex. Possibly as revenge for Rooney's camp leaking the story about Wayne being left out as punishment for the meal; funny how the initial versions of the tale made it seem as though Rooney's crime was going out for dinner rather than being in no state to train properly the following day.
Tell me i didn't just read this?
He's made a career out of talking to the tabloids has our SAF
Fergie is the leak, it all makes sense now. He's engineered this entire situation as a reminder to Rooney to always know his place. He's probably at Sky Sports HQ right now, giving another one of his secret briefs.
The transfer forum really brings the worst out of people.
Ask yourself, would fergl really do that? The frogie I know wouldn't.

- Leak a story about being punished for the meal fiasco eh?
- Yarg!! I'll just create a story indicating we are letting you go. But before its even released, we'll do a joint statement completely denying it, calling it nonsense.
- Fungi wins.

I do think these stories are sometimes/often leaked for a reason though. And last season tells us both Fergie and Rooney understand the value of press leaks. Who knows.
I think Ronny and Sir Ajax are very cunning. As individuals they both leak half of the original story and half of the denial, both completely unaware as to what the other was up to. It's like when an immovable object meets an irresistible wall - there's only going to be one winner.
Get rid after this season.
Considering how little value there is in the transfer market and that only a special player can replace Rooney then I won't be surprised then if we do sell him we end up with having Diouf given an outsider chance to replace him
You know what, I've almost gone past caring.
I'm 30 years old and caught the end of the bad years, (educated mostly through my family) but most of my life we've been incredibly competitive. We've had some (relatively) bad teams but the vast majority of years have been incredible.
Part of me wants success whatever the the cost but more and more of me just wants a club that cares and players who really want to be here. It may result in our downfall (which will inevitably come anyway) but I'm almost to the point where the likes of Rooney can leave if he wants to.
It's just so much trouble having Rooney at the club - if he genuinely wants to stay, that's great but all I want is SAF.

Why do you even bother, devilish? Not one single person finds your sarcasm funny but it makes dozens of them think you're a dick. I'm sure you're a nice guy in real life. What's the point in making loads of United fans hate you?
So now Rooney goes into another of his usual/inevitable form slumps after this for a month or two?
Nice!
Nice!
Im not being sarcastic for once. Im starting losing hope on United being able to replace quality with quality. Thank god we've got Welbeck in that position (although he's nowhere near to Rooney at the moment). Considering that Berba may end up leaving too, I do believe that Diouf may have an outsider's chance to be considered in the link man role. There's nothing to suggest that the usual 'value' and 'only a special player can replace' BS will be used in this argument too.
BTW while Im gutted when United loses, I do believe that we deserve a trophyless season. We've got a great side but we've been too arrogant in terms of not tackling our real problems and its only fair that it ends up biting our arse for once in a while.
"Losing hope"....we're 2nd in the table FFS!! I realise we have issues but there's a (very small) part of me that hopes we become a mid-table team, so we can weed some of the fans that only follow because of trophies - FFS follow SAF and the team....even if we 'only' finish 2nd.
I'm at a loss with you! It's been our best start for years and we have a horrible injury list yet you think we deserve to be trophy less! And you support Manchester United?? Great stuff!
feck me it really is silly season I'm tuning out before My head explodes
Christ.. We deserve to finish trophyless?
Pls if you're aim is to twist my words then I won't answer you. If that's not your aim then read my post again. Its clear that you haven't understood a thing.
Anyone who hopes United doesn't achieve success for whatever reason is not a fan.
I am sorry but I can never wish that.
Yeah. We've got a great side but time and time again we have failed to address our CM weakness. We've also sold OShea despite knowing that the defense tend to go in shambles due to 3 players in it being injury prone. I do believe that we deserve some humble pie to be honest. Even clubs like Barcelona who has a squad which can eat us for breakfast had done their very best to add quality to their side.
I don't mind 1 trophyless season. Its not the end of the world and to be honest it may do us some good too.
You are a Top Red, sir!!
Thanks.....oh you meant it in a bad way - well if supporting your team regardless is in some way a bad thing, then I'm sorry but you can feck right off.
"If you ain't first, you're last" type thing.....feck me, I'd dread to think what happens to the crowd if we finish outside the top 4 for the first time in 20 years.
And supporting a club is not solely based on success - I'd wager that a lot of lower clubs with no trophies / CL games are also proud/in love with their clubs.
I'm not even sure what this means....I assume some form of mockery. Seriously though, there are far too many people on here who seemingly only care about success and trophies - it's not being a 'top red' to suggest that people should support the club regardless of success.
You're an evil person.
So got it wrong when i chose a career, journalism was the real ticket, i mean you can just make shit up without any shred of evidence and sell it as fact. You usually have no comeback, and merely say you heard it from an un-named source. Bloody career adviser let me down 
The story has some truth behind it but discussions had been tentative and have not involved the player, hence the clubs immediate denial. Rooney could be off though, sooner than he thinks...
making way for sneijder.......
