Quick, lads, what's the most hateful thing I could tweet to Rooney. I'll get him good.
Tell him his hair isn't very lovely.
What about "Your hair isn't lovely and Kai is a silly name"?
Criticise his grammar.
That's dirty! Of course, by dirty I mean perfect.

Can't find any Vidic quotes so maybe I got that one wrong, though I'm sure I remember reading something about the captaincy influencing him into staying.
It's genuinely idiotic that some of you can't accept he has asked to leave the club again, reported as fact by the BBC ffs. They don't make shit transfer rumours up and they are not reporting this as a rumour. They are saying he DID, not "may", "alleged" "could" "believed to" or any other cop-out phrase. Could the entire sporting press have got it so spectacularly wrong?
Don't think he's a cnut at all for asking to leave either. If he wants to leave he can feck off where he wants (Chelsea + City aside) and if he changes his mind I'll be happy.
In other news Zaha has been rubbish.
Is there an official link to this?
Strive for a squad with no superstars, interchangeable, disposable, replaceable. No massive egos, no massive wages. Just functional, reliable.
He just can't do anything right on here
If he comes out and denies the transfer request, then everyone will want him to come out and deny that he's fat.
Seriously man, quit being such a fanboi and look at things as they are.Who the feck about his Nike twitter status ?
Nah, he hasn't been. He's actually been decent considering how Palace have played.
ah...another shite winger then....
Fitter, happier, more productive...
An eyesore.
You dick, I was going to do this.
Be selective, be objective, be an asset to the collective.
I owned your ass, I'm a non-sexual way.
was that meant to be 'I'm a non sexual gay' ?
Shut up. It was a freudian deep throat.
The BBC article says "On this occasion Rooney has not submitted a formal transfer request, but it is understood he asked verbally to leave".
"It is understood" is in the same ballpark as "believed to" "alleged" etc.
It was more concrete in 2010 because both parties came out and stated it had actually happened. There are no quotes from either Rooney or the club other than "Rooney is not for sale".
Why can't we all just wait until it is confirmed from at least the club or the man himself? People are saying it as if it fact based on what he HASN'T said, which is lunacy.
The BBC posted another article the same day stating that Rooney could stay afterall. Neither involve any quotes other than United saying he's not for sale, yet only the one claiming Rooney wants to leave is being reported as "fact"? Facts needs sources and quotes. There are no sources or quotes. It's conjecture.
It's a lot more factual, the way this is being reported IMO. The BBC wouldn't have run the article unless they were very sure about the source. When do they make stuff up based on rumour? I reckon the same person/people that leaked the Fergie retiring story also leaked the Rooney asking to leave story.
"It is understood" is how Journos prefix bullshit.
There are loads, and I think it is largely down to performances, there weren't many calls last summer to have him out when he'd scored 34 goals. The thing is once performances drop he starts to get stick for stuff that's irrelevant or tired old shit people stopped caring about years ago (including Fergie - i.e his contract saga). I mean I've seen the fact he allegedly shagged a prostitute and an older woman a decade ago brought up on this thread as one of the many reasons he doesn't deserve to be at the club, it's beyond pathetic.
Why are they entitled to call him any name under the sun? He's just a person making a career choice, I wouldn't expect to get verbally abused if I did so in my life, don't see why that shouldn't be the same for Rooney.
Football is full of players who have asked to leave clubs, our squad is made up of players who've turned their back on their own club to come here. It's justified because of the superiorirty complex of our support though, "United are a massive step up, their fans should respect that", "we're the best club in the world", the second a player asks to leave our club they're a massive cnut. It wouldn't be his fault either if Fergie couldn't handle his decision, he's just making a standard choice most footballers will make at some point in their career.
The irrationality of it all I will never understand, the majority of football fans need to get a grip and stop taking football so seriously.
Kai is ancient Greek for "and", so you should write "Your hair isn't lovely and why did you name your son And"? That will blow his brains out trying to work that one out.
Really don't see all the fuss people are making this out to be. The rumours were he changed his location to @UK Nike Athlete, and that was a sign he was leaving. Now he's confirmed that it was changed ages ago, so what? The new manager is coming in, perhaps Moyes will tell him he will put him up top with RvP and Rooney will be happy again. He really is putting himself in these bad situations by asking for a move more than once. But we all have to understand one simple thing: he's thick. He will never have the support of the fans by doing this, so perhaps he should keep these things a little more secret, or be completely sure once and for all of his decisions and stick with them.
Well they have reported two stories about Rooney, one saying he's asked to leave, and one saying he could stay afterall. No quotes or sources in either. When the BBC have quotes and sources, they pretty much always use them. Seems a very odd story for the BBC to be getting involved with based on the lack of actual substance. Not sure how either are factual at this moment in time.
So you're assuming. Nice to know.
If it comes out this story is bullshit I'll ban myself from this thread for 6 months.
You might end up being right, you might end up being wrong. What's the point in jumping the gun now?
The BBC story is pretty much based on the ones that the Daily Mail and all the journos after that tweeted. No quotes nothing. Ben Smith (BBC) said he's asked for a transfer request and then also said the next day that he could stay, again with no quotes or anything to go by.
Unless he submitted a formal transfer request then it's not quite as 'sinister' as first assumed, however the leaking and the timing of this stinks.
I just think the poor lad wanted reassuring, and asked Fergie if it was best for him to leave, or would he be part of the United future?
He's being used on the advertising campaign for the new kits with de Gea and van Persie (see below), and there's a massive picture of his face on the outside of Old Trafford now talking about the saga 'to be continued' with Moyes post-Fergie.
Do we think this would happen if he was off?
Do we think this would happen if he was off?
De Gea has massive fingers.
It could still be that he is off because I dont think the poster was made just two days ago. IF IF IF he has turned in a request, then it has come as a shock to everyone for obvious reasons and werent people mentioning that Park was used in posters last season? What happened to him after that? Its just a poster and picture on the website.
Somewhat dissapointed about this. Had my hopes up he was off 
I say sell him, offer his wages to Bale and use the money he brings to fund the 60mio. € fee for Bale, especially if PSG is willing to pay some stupid money for him.
