- I know it's Pilip, may not be trustworthy, but that Rooney bit if true really stinks up his legacy with us. Wonder who are the 6 players who can leave: Rooney, Januzaj, Young, Smalling/Jones?
If true then I think they should say no and just force him to be in the reserves until his contract is over. If he truly wants out then he should accept the contract being rendered null and void without payment.
Players Leaving my guess would be: Rooney, Shaw, Januzaj, Fellaini, Young, Smalling
Rooney
Smalling or Jones
Januzaj
Borthwick-Jackson
Ashley Young
Juan Mata
Is my guess.

Rooney leaving was the #1 deal I wanted done this off season. I don't even care if we pay his contract up front, I just want the cloud of him at this club gone
Always figured he'd want paying, we've paid him money for nothing for two years anyway, one more wont hurt.

Why sell him if you're losing money? His wages are circa 15m per year and no team will pay that for him now. Might as well sit him on the bench and use him for commercial purposes.
Doubt it.
I'd keep Rooney and only let him in the squad for the League Cup games... like Schweinsteiger this season. And I'd tell him this right now in pre-season...
Not a chance.
Can't blames city for that though can you? If he wants a permanent move then he should accept a pay cut
That's pocket change to United and better to free up the bench space than have a worthless has-been taking up space on it, when he's on it's like we are playing with 10 men, just get rid.

Can't think of any others actually.

Rooney ... He has a contract to honor, just like Man Utd does. If he wants his wages, he should rot quietly on the bench and hope he can get some game time vs the likes of Peterbourough United or Leyton Orient in the first rounds of EL Cup or FA Cup. If he wants to play... then probably is about time he gets paid what he actually deserves. About 50k a week, rather than 250k.
The 6 players ... Rooney, Young, Januzjaj, CBJ must be part of that number. I hope Shaw and Martial are given one last chance and Fellaini might stay, he's a good option.
This would be my guess as well. Darmian more likely than Blind I think.
The league cup is an important competition. The reserves are gagging for a striker though, may as well make use of him for the year and give 99% of the English press an aneurysm whilst we're at it.
Sounds about right. Blind has quality though, doubt he will be sold unless he's unhappy with his role.
Could be referring to other fringe youth players? Januzaj is almost a surety. Maybe also James Wilson and Johnstone? Possibly even Borthwick-Jackson?
Is de Brun counted as a reliable source? Think he often talks crap.
Fellaini isn't going anywhere. Young, Smalling, Januzaj, Darmian/CBJ, Wilson, Johnstone.
Nobody said he was worth 70m. But he is also not worth 30m. Pay the price or leave. If Lazio would be as dumb as Gladbach, yeah, then they would have put a buyout clause in his contract of 20m and Liverpool would be laughing. If you havent watched him, dont comment please and if you cant stand the inflated prices, best to change the sport category
Sam Johnstone too, possibly.
He occasionally has some interesting info. That said, most of these people are journos so anything they offer up isn't necessarily true. Its just hearsay and speculation based on their own sources. Believe what they say at your own peril.
It would be foolish to sell Blind as he's a good squad player to play as CB and LB when needed.
If we don't mind paying him, just pay him and send him to reserve to rot. Let all England know what he actually is.
So Di Marzio is wrong? We do need to replace Carrick sooner or later. Our CM options are quite bare - Herrera, Pogba, Fellaini and Carrick for 2 or 3 positions do not fill me with confidence. English journos seldom get the inside track with our transfers these days anyway.
Even Keegan himself isn't reliable anyway.
Are we really complaining about Rooney ? The club offered him a contract, he agreed and is now honoring it. Not his fault that the club offered him ridiculous wages and now can't get rid of him because of their own mistake.
All the links happened when Keegan was busy shaving and combing his hair.
Unlike the other sicknotes of the defense, he tends to always be available too
Doubt it
