I think this is closer to what might happen actually than most people give credit to. I am not saying he's going to be left in the reserves, (because we use our reserves for upcoming players) but I think for sure the Glazers aren't any kind of pushovers, and not to be messed around with and I think Rooney is about to find that out big time. First time he had a fit we placated him because we wanted to keep him. Clearly it's a different case this time around, and Rooney has zero bargaining power.
We are Manchester United the biggest and most powerful club in the country (we own the refs and FA if you are to believe the garbage from rival fans), and if Chelsea think they can offer £23 and £25 million bids for a player like Rooney they have another thing coming. You only need to look at what Dortmund have done with Lewandowskito see how this is going to play out. I think we are well aware of the fact that Rooney could spark into life at Chelsea; it's the fittest he's been in 5/6 years apparently... wow what a coincidence he worked so hard on his fitness over this particular summer.
I think it’s the Glazers would be more than willing to take the hit on wages and that very low transfer fee, just to keep Rooney out of the hands of Chelsea. It would be worth it. I think if Chelsea have ANY chance of getting Rooney then they would been to bid a mental amount of cash AND Rooney would have to wave any cash remaining on his contract. OR… Moyes simply intervenes and says he doesn’t want Rooney around. Rooney has got nothing here, and the desperate way his agent is leaking stories to the press every 3 days proves it.
