It was widely reported at the time, no smoke without fire.

SAF was a great politician, he knew really well what to say and what no to say.
It makes zero sense to admit your want-away player, the biggest star at the club, wants a move to your local and league rival.
Doesn’t work like that, SAF wanted Rooney to stay, if he didn’t it would’ve been a different story.

You've clearly never vaped. Most smoke is without fire.

You choose to believe that because you hate Rooney. Do you do the same with every report about each one of our players?

Serious question - How do transfers work. By going by the media it goes like:
Say you want a defender - Maguire
1) Send out reports to media that your interested
2) Wait a bit see what happens. Maybe other clubs will come in
3) Talk to players agent. See if he is interested
4) Talk to club - Yo. We want Maguire. Are you selling? No
5) Wait for a bit
6) Oh sht the Sun is reporting Man City is interested.
7) Ring club again - Would you sell for 50? No?
8) Wait for a bit
9) Talk to agent again - Player on holiday. Cant go further
10) Two weeks later player back from holiday. Had a few drinks and now might think about moving but not sure. He likes the shops where he is at
11) Ring club - How about 60 mill. What! you want 100! Muther beep beep beep
12) Ring agent - Tell player to start making it known he wants to leave
13) Wait a bit
14) Ring club - Oh now you want 80. ah we are getting to them.
15) Tell papers that we want another player.
16) Get some of our players to ring wanted player and talk all sexy to him
17) Wait a bit
18) Tell papers that we are preparing a bid.
19) Wait a bit
20) Talk to player - offer terms - unofficially. Player likes cash but is undecided. Uncle Sams birthday coming up. Will decide after
22) Get lawyers to write a fancy bid on fancy paper and send to the club.
23) Wait a bit
24) Get a phone call - bid rejected. Will take Martial + 50 Mill
25) Wait a bit
26) Uncle Sams Birthday has finished. Player wants to leave. Not sure which club he will choose
27) Deadline day -Bid 85. Fly player in last minute. 11.55 send final docs to FIFA by fax.


Is this really how it works? Or does it work normally
1) Speak to club and over the same conversation - 50 no. Ok what you want. 100. Man you trippin. 55. 1 hour later - ok Agreed 80
2) Ring Player and Agent - We want you. - Over the the same conversation - 80 a week - no 200. Ok agreed at 180
3) Ok I know its a big decision but we have to know by X. Cool ok
4) Player rings - City interested but I still want to come - Will you increase to 200. OK
5) Agreed by all parties. Signed.

if you could somehow add the 'Preparing to bid' scenario in there it would be perfect!

Go ahead, find one post where I’ve said I hated Rooney, knock yourself out.

So why believe something that fits the media's agenda? They always loved to pile shit on us, back then our best player and poster boy being touted to go to the new rich kids in town was the biggest possible story.

Read his statement after Sir Alex's press conference and tell me how could you even believe that Rooney would do that. He had utmost respect for the club and for the gaffer, no matter what.

Hagi is obviously more known already but Genk have signed some gems over the years like Koulibaly, Bailey, Milinkovic Savic and Ndidi as well as producing players such as De Bruyne and Courtois. They seem to be a very well run club.

Can we not get into word games, the blatant insinuation was that he was looking to move. If you disagree with that then we will just have to agree to massively disagree and not get into a pointless back and forth.

Omitting or changing relevant parts of a quote also qualifies as word games, mate. Pogba's answer was non-committal. Could be is not the same as it is. The only insinuation from that quote is that he would be open to the right move, which is nothing, really. Everyone could say that about their current employment status.
