A world record fee you say? Well with that we could buy all manner of new players, oh wait, no, we got that last year and did very little with it.
Neither Higuain or Benzema could replace Rooney at United, and I'm a very big fan of Higuain. Rooney gives more to the team than goals and it's not blinkered to say he's better than either of them. Money means feck all in this instance.
I am of course assuming the money won't be going to pay off the debt. We could have brought players last year if we wanted to, a heck of lot of them went to Inter Milan and helped them win the Champions League.
I agree Rooney is better than Higuain and Benzema but not by more than £80m. And who knows we might actually see Berbatov perform without playing alongside Rooney and with someone with a bit more pace.
Sorry mate even for Higuain plus £80 which would actually be spent I'd still be reluctant to let Rooney go.
Fortunately we don't have to worry about it

people are really taking this seriously?!
What? The bid or Rooney being swayed by the offer?
If it's the former I wouldn't be 100% shocked to see it happen.
You think Benzema/Higuain are faster than Rooney?!
I more meant that it might happen, but even a bid is unlikely considering the comments from Mourinho and others at Madrid in recent times.
Yeah I could be wrong mind but I think all the foot injuries have caught up with Rooney. I look like a fool given his goal against Arsenal

True. I think I'd be reluctant to let him go for any price but that one would lessen the blow a bit.
Did they need the financial figures to be released to work that out?
Every player has his price and Rooney is no different. I refuse to subscribe to the theory that football at United will all over sudden come to an end were he to move as some are faintly alluding to in this and other threads.
That being said, there isn't a chance in hell that he will be going anywhere else besides South Africa this summer.

i actually believe rooney would never leave.
Not for any price.

I don't think he'd leave to go abroad, but I reckon if the situation warranted it then he'd leave for another English club.
If this is true we should bomb Perez's house or something.
Very high-horse-ish view. Plus, many would argue that Madrid is bigger than United, esp. in the Latin countries. Point remains: we take the best players, others try to take the best players
Give us 95 million plus Higuain and Benzema and then your talking!
Id personally take that...*awaits abuse*...

That's ludicrous. 95million plus 2 players valued around the £60m mark?
the money won't be invested in the squad, it only goes to the interest payments. we are becoming a selling club.
Of course its ludicrous, for us to sell Rooney under any circumstances they’d need to make a ludicrous bid, hes our best player by a street and we under no circumstances want or need to sell him, this is nothing like Ronaldo, Rooney is happy here so wont be angling to leave.
If Madrid want him then not only do I want us getting world record money but also 2 ready made striking replacements.
Of course it wont happen, but the point was that’s the sort of ridiculous offer it should take for us to even consider selling him.
The club would accept £95million from Madrid, I have absolutely no doubt.
No, they wouldnt.
This story has legs. According to KEY 103 Valdano was seen in Manchester today.
Bollocks. REal Madrid are very good at doing transfers. SAF wouldn't sell Rooney, Rooney doesn't want to go. Glazers mindful of fan backlash wouldn't sell Rooney.
No way would Real Madrid bid £95m on a player that was unavailable. They'd tap him up first!

IF a bid was placed we should start getting our cash together for the "Wayne Rooney" legend DVD.
Much ado about nothing. No interest, no bid, no transfer.
Ok here’s one for all you ‘what if’ers’ What If Real offered Ronaldo + say 30mil for Rooney.
Silly I know but, what if they did.
What then?

I have almost no doubts that this wouldnt happen, but christ if it did it would be awful.
Can you pls make a list of all the big signings I would like the club to make? And correct me if Im wrong but one of the names I mentioned in the previous post {which you had interpreted as an insult} is in fact a 30m signing.
God they're such a spastic club. Discover your own talent you pricks.
They have the money and they have ambition. I dont like their style but Id rather see us take that route then dedicate ourselves in paying Malcolm Glazers debts.
If it is true and it does happen, what kind of message does it send to the rest of the team? They'll all feck off.
Does it have ears and nostrils too?
Shows you how close to a failed business model we are.
Fergie has the final say. Glazers would be lynched.
Besides, if Jose wants to coach Rooney, why doesn't he wait until Fergie retires or the England job comes up.

I'd say Everton fans said something like that a few years ago.
dont everton get a huge chunk of that .. 95m wont do it , ie , tempt the glazers
for me , he is priceless..
for me , he is priceless..
He's just become a dad for christ sake, he's not going to want to move to Spain.
Deliberate Glazer planted story - feed out a stupid rumour to prove that we wouldn't take the the cash.
Neat plan.
Neat plan.
Is it that simple?
The Glazers have leveraged a pile of debt against the club which, in its current form can easily service the debt through its income - matchday revenue and other commercial sources (including that generate by the likes of Wayne Rooney).
That sort of business model works as long as the club remains succesful.
While a massive bid for any player may be temtping - selling off the familiy silver only produces short term results. Players like Rooney keep brand United strong, he (hopefully) leads the club to plenty of trophies generating prizemoney and increased gate receipts from reaching the latter stages of the Champions League.
The rumours of United being on the rack financially seem unlikely. While plenty of cash is needed to service the debt, the club can (at this stage anyway) seemingly afford it. What it can't afford is to lose one of its best players and slip down the pecking order.
Rooney must be kept at all costs
