This is going to be a very very long thread over this summer
Hopefully we don't have to wait that long
Spot on, mate.
Get our transfer dealings done early and let's have a good pre-season for once. Judging on Moyes' infamous pre-seasons, we should be in fine fettle come late August.
Forgiveable
he didn't murder anybody...If he ends up signing a new contract, we carry on as normal. If leaves, we wish him the best (providing it's abroad - which the club is responsible for).
Nah. Once he's left, this thread will be closed and a new thread will be made.
Yourself and your fellow Rooneyites can circle-jerk in there from then on.
I'll give you that, this thread is going to be even more unbearable than that fecking Pogba thread.

You make it sound like there wasn't uproar the last time he did it.
He'll score a lot so there's going to be a lot of bumping up of this thread. A lot more than Pogbas!
Where's that Ronaldo thread that was bumped again and again and again? Oh wait...
The old Rooney would have fought and worked twice as hard to get his spot back. His mind seems to be off and asking for a transfer twice says a lot. He might be a brilliant player but sometimes, you have to let players go who are not commited anymore
As someone said yer man Balague says we offered him to Barcelona before now and they declined. A few journalists have also said that we offered him to Real and they said they weren't interested either. If that's true it tells me two things:
1. We've obviously been planning for Rooney to leave for a while, so it might not be just Rooney pushing for a move. This might be something both parties are happy with.
2. No club in their right mind would pick Rooney over Falcao.

Of course there was, football fans are irrational, hysterical teenage girls about stuff like this.
I don't see the big deal. Bigger and better players have left and we've been fine.
But good luck to him if he does go. He's been an excellent player for us.

Welbeck is not ready to step up, if we lose Rooney we lose 20-25 goals a year as well as his creativity and assists I certainly don't think welbeck can fill this void Based on his performances in a utd shirt.
I
We will have to replace Rooney- maybe the Falcao rumours have legs. I also think this Rooney admission drove fergie to retirement remember his upset the last time Rooney wanted out- I reckon this was a factor- altho fergie would never admit it
Are you not a football fan then?
I disagree. I think it has more to do with what the club needs to be fair. Like us for example, it would be brilliant if Falcao came here but with RVP already here, managers would be more inclined to go for a Wayne Rooney type of player rather than a Falcao type of player.
That's an interesting thought. I can't see it to be fair.
Well tbh Rooney has never really had a situation like this. He's always been the main man or the second main guy after Ronaldo. This season he's not only fallen behind RVP as the main man but at times he's been left out/moved to accomodate other players and that's never happened before.
Personally I'm still hoping that if he has a good think he'll realize this isn't an agenda against him but simply a wake up call. He wanted the competition and now he has it in the class of RVP and the youthful energy of Welbeck/Kagawa and the threat of Hernandez. If he wants to be a key part of that he'll have to fight for it and may be that'll mean he has to re-assess how he conducts himself on and off the pitch.
As I've said before I'm unsure where he can go to both in terms of equal footing and in terms of a club where he will lead the line if that's what he wants. In the PL only Chelsea is an option, whether we would see is a different matter. I don't think there are many options abroad as I can't see Bayern/Real/Barca really wanting him that much.
When asked if he thought Rooney would stay, SAF said "It's not my decision anymore". 
Since Rooney got that hair transplant it's all gone to his head
I feel he'll stay actually. Though once again, he's got media cornered by SAF What a man!
What a man!No remember he said by Christmas time he had actually decided. Plus he had planned to retire last year if we had won the title. So I dont see how Rooney asking for a transfer two weeks played a part in his retirement. He has seen bigger players than Rooney leave and gone on, what makes you think this time around is going to affect him so badly, that he might consider retirement.
When asked if he thought Rooney would stay, SAF said "It's not my decision anymore".
Well of course it would be Moyes to have to deal with it now.
Just seen this. When was it revealed sorry?
Well still Fergie will give his opinion on the matter and lend advice to Moyes on what to do if he intends on keeping Rooney.
During one of Fergie's interviews after the celebrations.
This is exactly what he mustn't do. He's gone, Moyes has to make these decisions now, it'll never work if SAF doesn't let go of these things.
did Fergie say when exactly Rooney put in his transfer request?
Offering advice is bad?
I just can't see him not being sold after a second transfer request. I know most think it's about money but how much more could he be expecting? I think he wants a fixed position and the team to play to him as opposed to him always being the guy who is shunted about.
Fergie saying we wont sell means nothing, he said a week ago he wasn't retiring, I think as soon as the season is over his transfer will be announced, much the same as Ronnie's was.

I dont think so but everyone is speculating it was two weeks ago.
and that speculation is based on what?
This sounds more like what's happened. To be honest in some of the games where he has been subbed and the likes of Giggs and Valencia have been left on I can fully understand his frustrations.

If asked for, fine. I just think Moyes should have his own ideas about what he wants to do with Rooney. What SAF thinks shouldn't sway him.
Speculation.
That's what the media reports were saying when they surfaced this week.
This part I agree with. Valencia, Welbeck and Giggs can have truly awful games and not get subbed off but Rooney has a sub par performance and he's off. It must frustrate him a bit to be subbed so frequently when he isn't even putting in really poor performances.
If you think the timing of that request will now have a bearing on his decision, I can't see it.
One U turn was enough allied with the huge disappointment felt by the fans. Don't think there's any turning back now.Yes we'll miss his goals and creativity but that doesn't mean we won't have another.
Don't know why this has to be said but here goes yet again
Utd are bigger than any one player.We got on with it after Keane,Ronaldo and other great players left.It's a sorry state of affairs if fans out there believe there are no players in the world who can't fill the void
