there is very little that Rooney is "professional" about
I think a lot of fans are falling into the 'grass is always greener' phenomenon. If he leaves, I think we'll then appreciate what an impact he has on the team - and perhaps not until then.
Kagawa looks a talent, but has never produced Rooney's numbers. RVP has been great, but it's RVP - are we really sure he won't get injured at all next season? Maybe our wingers will get back on form, but if they don't who is going to be the creative fulcrum of the side?
For all of the negatives around Rooney (inconsistency, transfer requests, questionable fitness) for me the positives far outweigh them.
Just surprised no one has made any statements yet. Suggests the club are certainly thinking about it.

After all this time, you still see RVP as an injury prone player ? Check out the numbers of football matches he's played in the last 3 seasons.
I think he'll stay under Moyes. New challenge. I think Moyes will want him to stay too. I suspect he'll have him doing extra fitness work. Moyes is infamous for this.
Do you think he's passed his peak as a player, or do you think he's just lost his spark/motivation at United?
I reckon he has another two years as a top player....then his physique, which isn't conducive to longevity in the modern game, and mentality will start to push him on the downward spiral as a player.
A fit Ando??!!...you're 'aving a laugh aren't you....
Thats a bit unfair, there are lots of famous and intelligent scousers, such as :
hmmmm
William Gladstone 4 times prime minister
JImmy Tarbuck
Ken Dodd
William Patrick Hitler ( Nephew of Adolf - I am not making that up !!! )
Just a few scousers picked from this website
Both Wazza and Ando where physical monsters in their teens. Now time is catching up and their physical advantages is less significant. Imagine an injurie free Anderson. To be honest I think Rooney have reached his peak physically, probably soon he will become mentally tired of being exposed every minute of his life.
He reminds me of tennis legend Björn Borg, he was world class when he was 18 years old, ranked number one before 21 and finished his carrier before 26. Mentally drained and tired. Short after he started to party, drink and becomming a playboy. He was also surrounded by bad advisers and yes sayer's.
Sad but you can almost see the similarities of how they take step by step in the wrong direction.
Rooney is not in such bad shape. He has a tendency to not look after himself in the holidays, but I think he's a good trainer and he loves playing.
Anderson likes cake.

I think he looks disinterested when things aren't going his way. He has settled down as a person which has impacted his game. We need the nasty Rooney back.
It's not really about being prone to injury. Players get injured. I don't believe RvP is the sicknote he used to be. He's proven that over the past 2 and a half years, but it doesn't mean he is now invincible. One bad challenge and he could be out for 2 or 3 months with a tear or break. Then our striking department becomes a worry, as it sometimes was when Rooney was injured. Luckily, Dimitar often stepped up when he was the main man, like how Rooney did when we lost Ronaldo. Would you expect Welbeck or Hernandez to prosper if RvP was sidelined? I'm not so sure they would, as much as I really like the both of them.
Maybe you should be asking him how much time Rooney has spent injured in the last 3 seasons too?
I'm sure it's a dam sight more than RvP.
Must be a bit weird hanging out and chillin with such a dressing room cancer, shit cnut, fat, useless twat, unfit sook.
That said Welbeck looks like such a cool cat

Not much in the way of sparkling news but if the quotes are true then the interest is genuine.

I'd certainly expect Hernandez to step up.
You look at his performances and productivity from the bench and there is absolutely no reason that it wouldn't carry on if he started. I'd say he would comfortably be scoring 1 goal for every 2 full games. Looking at his stats (club and Country) there is no reason that it couldn't be quite a bit better than that.
^ Agreed.
And i would think it highly unlikely that Welbeck won't have a significantly higher goal return next season, which says nothing for the entire midfield whoever eventually makes thir number come August.

Heh. It would be some twist if it turned out that Arsenal - who have been bleeding top players to their richer rivals of late - were able to "put together a salary package that can entice the Manchester United man". I can't quite see it, to be honest. But stranger things have happened, I suppose.
They can have him if they pay a stupid fee. They made us pay 24 million for a 29 year old in the last year of his contract. Rooney is 2 years younger, has 2 years left on his contract and is more marketable.
No quotes. That's partially why I'm defending Rooney in all this because he's kept his mouth shut. He's clearly taking Fergie's advice seriously when he was told to go and think about it for a bit before coming back and deciding he wants to leave. An absolute gobshite would be talking constantly to the media saying "Oh I want to go", "Boohooo".
Some interesting Rooney quotes :
That just reads like standard a standard Rooney answer. If he's asked a similar question under a different context he'll say something like "I like playing up front but I also want to be able to drop back deeper and influence things more". So not sure how much to read into that.
I think Wayne asked for something that is called transfer muppet request.
He'll stay if we'll sign everyone, he signed in Fifa, therefore he'll stay.

Rubbish (the article).
Wenger says Rooney is an 'interesting' player and now suddenly we are after him? Wenger says that about everyone we are linked with, they're always 'interesting,' it's his stock standard diplomatic response. I will not believe it until I see him in the shirt.
Can I ask for a comma Transfer in regards to your second and third sentences?
It was a deflection.
Yeah. But it was a sensational deflection. A deflected sensation, in fact.
He had a boot on his foot.
A sensational goal 
Whilst it is true that Rooney has not himself spoken directly on the matter since Fergie made it known that a request to leave had been made, it is surely beyond dispute that Stretford [either with Wayne's tacit approval following discussions] has been spinning their version of events through various publications over the weeks.
I still maintain the idea of Rooney up front, with Kagawa right behind, as better than any combination.
