I hope we wrap up this de Rossi this week, love it if we got him and Rooney.
Rooney thing will drag on for ages and I think Moyes wants it to.
It's clear that Moyes is just a puppet and following orders from above, the club want Rooney to hand in a transfer request, if he does it's a huge gamble because there is no way back for him at United and he'd have to rely on a team to be willing to pay the wages and the transfer fee, I'd assume that's (allegedly) why Rooney's people are in talks with Chelsea. Man U don't have all the chips though, Rooney has 2 years left so they will have to sell him next this year or next.
Good for Moyes because that's his excuse readied for the inevitable early season poor form. He did the same thing with Lescott at Everton. Dug in and then used the situation to his advantage.
