'I stay'
I'd prefer he stayed at utd than any amount of money from Chelsea.
Will never understand how any of you would want this to happen for even 40mill.
To a foreign side fair enough though.

It would be if we got someone in the Fabregas / Ronaldo level of signing but that isn't looking that likely. Selling Rooney to Chelsea for £40m and getting Fellaini and nobody else would be title suicide.

Can't imagine where this constant talk that is hurting him has come from

Yeah. Generally I agree with those saying selling him to Chelsea would be a mistake. I was more referring to the price. 40 millions would be a fair price atm for him.
40 million + 1 pound please.
"...is hurt by constant talk that he is determined to leave Old Trafford. He DOES NOT want to leave."
If only there was some kind of way of him letting everybody know this.

"Bren Blasts Cheap Weng" 
Sorry, off topic, but why don't the Daily Star make their Rooney back page splash just slightly smaller so they could accommodate a more coherent headline for their Suarez story?

"Rod Blasts Cheap Arse" would've worked too.
Replace Blasts with Slams and we're good
I'm one of those with a similar thought process to this. For whatever reasons (injuries etc..) he wasn't at his best last season but I would hate to see him at another Premier League club. I appreciate that 40m is a tempting offer, but if he can find that confidence and if he can regain his form he is a quality player. On his day he has as strong an all-round game as anyone in the league for me and I can see Mourinho bringing the best out of him at Chelsea.
If we do end up selling him, which I highly doubt we will, it has to be abroad in my opinion.
He scored in the friendly vs Betis today. I see him scoring a couple vs Wigan next weekend
Probably the star just making stuff up or it may be finally dawning on Rooney we're not going to sell him, especially not to Chelsea, and is making sure he doesn't burn his bridges anymore than has been done already.
Can't wait for his first goal of the season.

No wonder the Daily Star need to plunge the depths of the Caf transfer forum for stories
Anyway, if he does want us to believe that he never wanted to leave, then it's going to take some pretty impressive P.R. work to repair three months of saying nothing whilst letting things fester, and clearly not telling Moyes that he wanted to stay here when they met early last month.
But hopefully the Star have actually hit on something - that he'll want to stay and contribute to the club going forward.
Yeah its bloody incredible isn't it.
Wayne Rooney must be kicking himself that he doesn't have some way of telling the world how he feels right now without it having to go via the media. He must be wishing that someone somewhere had given him a way to say he wanted to say at United in 140 characters or less...
...oh wait...

What a difference 9 minutes makes.

Surely being at United sans Fergie is a new challenge?
If he really wants a new challenge he should stop all this fannying around and complete a Rubik's Cube on a rollercoaster.
I can't really do either, so I for one would be impressed.
The Mirror and Paul Stretford -a match made in football hell. That guy feeds Mirror hacks so much shit I'm surprised they haven't turned into mushrooms. Is there a more ABU rag than the Mirror these days?
So the Star says he wants to stay, and the Mirror says going to submit a transfer request.
I think they should have a wager on it - something like the paper that has called it wrong should close-down forever. Then the one that was correct should, in a sign of respect for it's defunct rival, also close-down forever, along with the Sun, Express and the Mail.
It would led to the start of a bright new era in British life.

Submit it. Would be beautiful.
Dressing room source, who's that, the cleaning lady.
Jamie Jackson from the Guardian was on the radio earlier and he seemed to concur with the Mirror in that Rooney will be submitting a written transfer request some time this week, also that the press are pretty much on the edge of their seats at the prospect of a negative reaction toward Rooney in one of the matches before the start of the season.
Transfer request away Rooney. You aint going to Chelsea.
Don't worry, he'll retire here if Woody takes half as long with transfer requests as he does with bids.
I'm sure the media will be exaggerating any possible negativity from our fans as a major backlash on par with Gaddafi's final moments.
Just look at how the supposed reaction at the medal ceremony and the parade have been hyped and represented since May.
I doubt Rooney will get some kind of massive booing from our fans.
Cripes, most of the fans probably haven't even been following the story this summer.

He asks to leave once a week...

I've got it, smoke signals but only 144 of them.

The Daily Mail said:
Ladies and gentleman - this week's number from the Daily Mail is £240,000-a-week.
£240,000-a-week.
Anybody got bingo yet?
If he hands in a request hopefully it'll lead to a bidding war for him
If he's leaving my guess is Chelsea will be his only destination...I wonder if there's a way we can agree a deal so that it doesn't go through to the 27th?...or just drag it out until then - with the risk of Chelsea going elsewhere.
I am hoping it doesn't take that long, if he does go then that money needs to be reinvested this summer.
Some people are by far too fearful of this looming Chelsea fixture. It will be challenging whatever happens and there are no guarantees at all as to as to how Rooney will settle at the club were eh to move, moreover Wayne's form is variable in the particularly personal and derby-esque fixtures.
Pretend for a moment that Rooney is injured and that Chelsea spent 40-50m on another striker this summer, would a few of you be quaking nonetheless?
hp88 has the right of it, better that the club knows where ti stands sooner rather than later.
