I'm talking about Nick London's post.
and you keep on struggling with the idea that a group of people are capable of doing more than one thing at a time. Happy moaning.
I agree, who gives a feck how much the Glazers get for Rooney? We don't want him, he doesn't want to stay. Let's just get rid at a reasonable price, and all move on. We have far more important issues to worry about next season than how much the Glazers get for Rooney.
Dragging our feet over price will just let this run on and on, and i have had enough already personally. If we set our price too high, we could get stuck with him next season and we will have the media circus following this issue all next season too. feck that, last thing Moyes or Utd needs in what will already be a very testing year for everyone involved with the club.
That is the worst line up I have ever seen, they would conceed 100 goals with Lampard as their most defensive midfielder. It's mental.
Ramires - De Rossi
Oscar - Mata - Hazard
Rooney
I think that would have a good chance of winning the league, but if they start the season with their current central midfield (so no De Rossi) and defence, then will they feck stroll the league.
De Rossi has been linked to Chelsea and Roma have just signed Strootman as a potential replacement, which is why he is there in the team.
That's woeful.
Barcelona could do with a striker....maybe they would be interested in roo but wouldn't of course be able to gaurentee him first team football....a roo cesc swap would amazing and would keep everyone happy....apart from rooneys spanish teacher of course
Rooney would start up top for them. Ba wouldn't get in and Ramires would start most likely.
Uh, could they?
Well it's not how their team would look, we know Jose loves a bit of defensive nous, but that would be their options, i just happened to chuck them into some sort of formation, because obviously you can't forget Ramires, Mikel, Essien or that Van Ginkle bloke.That's horrendous
Would be something more like
Ramires---Van Ginkel (Lampard)
Schurrle---------Mata-----------Hazard
Rooney
Ramires---Van Ginkel (Lampard)
Schurrle---------Mata-----------Hazard
Rooney
Scary for the Chelsea defence.
The context of which was explained in a later reply.
Well, they wouldn't really would they.
Good god.
I said ATTACKING LINE UP. That doesn't mean how their squad would line up does it? I dunno maybe i need to be clearer on here because people regularly misunderstand me.
I put them in some sort of order as their ATTACKING options. Why would i include defensive midfielders? I wasn't doing a team sheet.
Not if they walk, no. I'd say they will if they run Hectic, maybe even jog at a decent pace.
I imagine what he means is, with Rooney and Lampard in their side, there's going to be no fecker doing any running...
Swap deal for Mata plus 18 million cash and that would do it.
They'd walk the league if they bought Rooney?
They'd be stronger, yes, but there'd still be a title race. We're champions don't forget, with minimal contribution from Rooney.

10m + Ramires + Mata. Let's see how desperate Chelsea are
I'd do a straight swap! Don't need cash to tempt me!

You could've just put it like this: Rooney, Mata, Oscar, Hazard, Ba, Lampard, Torres, in order to save the confusion. What you did resembled a team sheet for no apparent reason.
A player's price is dictated by many factors not simply how good you are. First of all how much the team that your playing for wants to keep you and secondly how badly the buying team wants you. Carroll is not worth 35 million he wasn't at the time and he has proven not to be since, Liverpool where desperate for a British striker and they also had money to spend so they paid over the odds, same with Downing and Henderson. With your logic every player who is sold that is better than Carroll should cost more which doesn't make sense. You only get what teams are willing to pay.
We don't want Rooney and he doesn't want to be here that weakens are position drastically. You can list how many goals he scored, titles he's won etc but a buying team cares about how good you a right now. How many wealthy teams have ever willingly sold a player worth 40 million?? That quality is hard to replace it's not worth it. The fact we want him gone indicates he's not what he once was.
There is no guarantee of that, which makes him a risky prospect. Teams would rather pay 55 million for Cavani than buy Rooney for 40 million that should tell you something. Why is nobody biting our hands off for him? Like I said if you think it's retarded then get used to him staying 35 million is the absolute max we will get and I doubt we get that.
How much would you pay for Rooney right now as a buying team??
Not sure what the latest is but saw on BBC that they offered Mata or Luiz plus cash. Why would United reject that? He doesn't want to be at the club and Mata is better than him (I think a fully fit and on form Rooney is every bit as good but we've not seen that for a while now).
Other than City away, it was van Persie who was bailing us out last season. And even then, van Persie got the winner.
Sure he was
Chelsea said after that that it was a cash only deal, no players were involved.
Somebody is lying anyway. And if it's us, we're cnuts.
It's the best thing to do for the club. His presence doesn't help the club he's taking away from important things.
Rooney got the winner late in an important game towards the end iirc, might've been Reading.
But his contribution last year was relatively minimal, I agree.
Minimal contribution from Rooney? I've heard it all now.
I never understood the thinking behind the Eto+E30m swap from Ibrahimovich. Seemed to me that Barcelona did very badly out of that.
Fulham, yeah I remember that.
Worst bit of business for a long time!
When's this Chelsea statement or whatever due then?
Selling him at any reasonable price directly to a title rival would be equally as stupid as we thought Arsenal were for laying on the bargain that was Robin van Persie.
You might not want Rooney around any more but there is no way we're selling to a domestic rival for peanuts. I'm no ITK but I've got a fecking brain.

By his standards, yeah.
The only person with more goals/assists in the league this year for us was VP. The next best was chico, 8 less than Rooney, none else was within 10 of him.
Did you even watch us play or do you just spout utter shite for the laugh?
Dont worry. They are now managed by Mourinho and he's not one to play a lineup which is that attacking.
Take out his contribution I don't think we win the league. He was not at his best but he scored important goals for us.
