Real can use 95m to find their long lost LB ( Since Roberto Carlos ) and also Another DF, (Abiol and Pepe is not enough for the long run) if they want to improve. Buy a Stevie G, and buy another luxury player. Why splash 95m for Roon ?
Madrid are preparing a £95m bid for Rooney
- Thread starter Talking Vulture
- Start date
I think Real's No1 target is Ashley Cole, and tbh he would be excellent for them, and I think it will happen.
yeah but he was a benfica fan (paddy asked him and I doubt either would lie about it) . Also while he always wanted to play in la liga, lets not forget at a kid he turned spanish clubs down - including real madrid.
------------------------
But 95m? No. We want to better madrid, not help them. I imagine we would decline any and all offers.
Real haven't got £95m to spend on anyone, let alone Rooney, and mourinho knows they have other priority areas.
The Glazers own the club, nobody else.
I agree though i'm sure someone would lend them the money. They always seem to get help
I think Rooney would be pissed off if we accepted the bid
Heard that before.
So Evra and Vidic it is then.
When was that then?
What 'Real have no money and need to spend it on defenders'. How about every year for the last 15.
Why are we discussing this subject.
There is one link to a piss poor piece of tosh, probably created as a wind-up and the clowns in here are running with it.
Normally, I can ignore threads like this, but this has got to be the worst I have seen in a while. News stories are not being discussed, just the opinions of ill-informed feckwits that know very little about the workings of the Manchester United Board.
Let me make things clearer for those that are not sleeping well at the thought of Rooney being kidnapped by Real Madrid. It was Ronaldo's dream to play in white and I am sure by now he realises that all that glitters is not gold.
They now have one of the finest, most arrogant managers ever in football and finally, I believe, they will find success. However, even the "Special one" knows that he won't be getting Rooney, end of!
Give Rooney the credit he deserves, he is a wealthy Englishman fulfilling his dream in every way, he is nobody's fool!

To be honest, when I posted this thread, I had a little bit of mischief in me because I knew what kind of reaction it would cause. I didn't even click on the link the BBC had up because it is bollocks.
The last bit in bold doesn't quite ring true though. If he was fulfilling his dream in every way, he'd be doing it with Everton, not us.

Perhaps. I was more referring to him playing his finest football for both club and country, having plenty of 50p's for his electric meter, having a pretty wife, a baby and a fine Opel Manta to drive around in.
He has the perfect life right now and doesn't need excessive, expected, Press invasion, language barriers, serious upheaval and a new team to adjust to.
Having just lived five years on the continent, you can't beat Blighty!
Not to Real, but to us - yes. Ronnie was never as important to us as Rooney. Better player, yes.
Not to start that 'one-man team' debate bollocks again, but this is a side built around Rooney. If we let him go, it would take at least 2 years to re-build the side. This season was being looked at as a transitional one anyway - if Rooney goes, that transition will take a good while longer.
[This 'story' is obvious bollocks though]
Stop kidding yourself, he was a better player and a more important player for us when he was around, a fact reflected by SAF's shunting of Rooney left right and centre to allow the Portuguese the necessary ingredients to show his best form for us.
Now that Ronaldo is no longer here, Wayne has taken up that mantle
The number of times Rooney was actually played on the left is greatly exaggerated on the Caf as a stock shit argument. Looking at your tagline, enough said about that.
As to the rest of your post - ask yourself if there was a reason why Keane was the most important player at the club despite not being close to being the best player.
Don't take it personally mate, it's only an online discussion. Wayne was played on the left pretty much every time SAF wanted to get the very best out of the team given the circumstances and he saw Ronaldo as one most capable of fulfilling that as the foremost player in our lineup.
I don't think you quite know the full story behind my tagline so not best to comment on that.
Don't mistake talent and being the best, Keane wasn't the most talented BUT he was undoubtedly the very BEST as far as inspiring his teammates, providing a balance and leadership in the engine room etc. It is these reasons that made him the most important player at the club in his time here
We know who owns the club, that's the the point in question.
My point was that Keane was nowhere near being the best player at the club (which description, from both our earlier posts, I think we are agreed requires no qualification). The very fact that you pull out aspects of Keane that he was the best in, underlines my point - in fact proves it.
I really don't wish to get caught in a long-drawn out nit-picking argument with you about this so I think what I've said already suffices.
?
If push comes to shove, and the Glazers want to sell, they will. It comes down to what they want. It's not going to happen though as Real won't bid 95m.
Horseshit.
Ronaldo was our best player and more important to us than Rooney.
Obviosly Rooney has stepped up now but Ronaldo was the man.
Again, I say that is bollocks. And you can see that the way we lined up for the EC Final v Barcelona. Ronaldo was the focal point of the team and even though Fergie knew he was going, he still gave him the main man tag.
I've always loved Rooney but to say he was more important to the team than Ronaldo seems like some people are trying to re-write history to suit themselves.
Edit: Damn that Pogue geezer and his disappearing posts!!!

Keane was our best player in the treble season. The best player in England in fact, despite Ginola winning the award (if I remember correctly) and one of the best in the world. For some reason people seem to forget this and think of him as just being a very good enforcer with amazing leadership ability. When in reality he was all that plus being the one who ran our midfield and was the one we looked to make a difference when we needed someone to step up.
About the only way in which he wasn't our best is in pure talent, but that certainly doesn't mean he wasn't our best.
Heh. Sorry about that. Realised I'd got the wrong end of the stick and deleted my post.
I agree that Ronaldo was a more important player than Rooney but I think Rooney is a more important player to us than Ronaldo ever was.
That's probably true, simply because when Ronaldo was here there was always somebody almost as good willing to pick up the slack (Rooney obviously). Whereas now there really isn't anyone close to that same level stepping up behind Rooney (although Nani was doing his best and will hopefully continue improving).
So that's more an indication of the team as a whole, rather than the two players.
5 pages."Caught Offside" must be proud
5 pages is enough for this nonsense, surely? Let's close it.
Put simply, which is a stronger side? United - with Ronaldo, minus Rooney or with Rooney, minus Ronaldo?
I said this last summer, that of the two, if we absolutely had to lose one, I would always pick Ronaldo to go.
Ask 50 mill plus Kaka and Ronaldo.
REAL MADRID are plotting to end Wayne Rooney’s Manchester United turmoil by setting aside £65million for a summer swoop.
The Manchester United striker has been plunged into despair by revelations about his private life and Real chief Joe Mourinho is ready to offer him an escape next summer if he decides he fancies a fresh start abroad.
Such a move is certain to infuriate Mourinho’s good friend Sir Alex Ferguson, who will fight tooth and nail to hang on to his star man.
But that is unlikely to prevent a bid from the Portuguese, who is a confessed admirer of Rooney.
Mourinho has already spoken of his desire to work with the player, but told Ferguson he could “rest easy” as a move for the player would be “impossible”.
However, that was before Rooney’s dirty linen was aired in public and Real president Florentino Perez is determined to let the hitman know there is an exit route to Spain if he needs one.
Mourinho has already told Perez that a new forward is crucial next summer and Perez sees as Rooney as the perfect marquee signing to kickstart the 2011-12 season.
The Real president has spoken to Rooney’s former Manchester United team-mate Cristiano Ronaldo and was told he would love to link back up with his old strike partner.
Real will now ask Rooney’s representatives what his state of mind is and whether a move to the Bernabeu will appeal, and Perez has told Mourinho that 80m euros (£65m) will be put aside for if the indications come back positive.
Sources in Spain said: “A move for Rooney is not impossible.
“There were doubts that David Beckham and Cristiano Ronaldo would be allowed to join Real but both arrived at the club.”
Striker Gonzalo Higuain and Karim Benzema could be offered as part of the deal, as could Brazil superstar Kaka, who has failed to make the impression it was hoped he would in Spain.

"Wayne Rooney’s Manchester United turmoil" 
Was waiting for these kind of reports. He'll be back starting and scoring on Tuesday and his "turmoil" will be over
"United Turmoil" suppose it makes a change from "arse Crisis"
Just what we need. Sell Rooney to reduce a little bit of the Glazers' gargantuan pile of debt, just what happened when Ronaldo was sold. No need to cry about this, it's just business as usual. The Glazers are the best owners in the world and only think of the best for our club. The manager has been saying so for years so it must be true. If we are lucky maybe they will save a dollar or two from such a sale so we can buy Scholes new shoelaces. That wouldn't be so bad?
Kaka, Higuain and Benzema for Rooney?! Tempting?!
Sources in Spain said
Oh just feck off
Hands down, wouldn't swap our Wazza for those three.
Don't get me wrong, I'd happily see the united team around ronney and his abilities for the next decade, but thinking what is best for united even I'd look into what kaka benzema and higuain could bring to the table!
