I don't think Rooney will be responsible for a 16 point swing in Chelsea's favour. If you signed RVP I'd be worried.
RVP is a quality striker but so is Rooney. And the changes from last season are far more drastic than the transfer of Rooney mate!
Get rid of Rooney you have RVP who is miles better! Get £30 million for Rooney (or more if you can) and bring back Ronaldo. Rooney thinks he's bigger than the club: get rid. If the rumours about Mata are true then that is potentially brilliant for you. Mata and Ronaldo for Utd with Rooney going to Chelsea....title yours.
he'll need to be top dog, bigger than jose and roman. He wont settle for less. hes already told us that.
And he will I'm sure... You can sense that much with Jose saying he is our main prority. He'll like that and I expect him to put in a transfer request that will seal the move.
Bit of advice then, dont ever consider buying any players that may rival his status and/or contribution. he'll have a tantrum, hand in a couple of transfer requests ( written or other ) and become angry and confused.
We won't. Him, Lukaku and Torres would be fine for the next 5 years or so. Lukaku is going to become some player as well. Do you want him to stay or go?
There is no chance that Rooney will move to the Chavs unless Mata or Luiz or even Both come to United.
Good strategy by SAF and the club to make sure that the scouser is not that indispensable to us now ...
I'll expand on the "smacked down comment"; maybe the part about nothing being secret is a dig at the unprofessional leaking of information by Man Utd (or maybe Moyes just doesn't have any control). In any case, Moyes has messed up completely by saying Rooney is really important because Van Persie might get injured, so Mourinho shows him how man management is done by saying "Rooney or bust". Outplayed and outclassed. I hope the transfer doesn't happen though since it's massively in Man Utd's favour to get a fat, overpaid and rapdily declining player off their books. Rooney's first touch in particular has deteriorated massively last season.
Jose Mourinho says Wayne Rooney is Chelsea's only summer transfer target after Manchester United rejected their bid for the England striker. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/23350316
Why not print the FULL text of what was said by Moyes? Why has the press taken one part of his interview and twisted it into something its not lol
