Whats happened to Rooneys transfer request that sources apparantly close to player been coming for weeks??

Is it because him and his agent will lose money if he hands it in?

I certainly think so

He obviously wants to go as there has been no attempt to stop the rumours via his twitter account, so whats his hold up??

Dear Man Utd, I feel my time here is finished i would like a transfer

Doesnt take long does it?? The fact that it is taking a long time time shows what is in him and his agents head ,and its not about football its pound notes

Whats happened to rooneys transfer request??? ask fergi he's the one that said rooney put in a transfer request.. as for dear man unt they are as greedy as him holding out for the best deal they can get for him. You want rooney to go,, i accept that so why not sell him for 5mill and see what dividends he and his agent would get. I feel sorry for moyes been left wit fergies problem,, why fergi handed this headache over to moyes i'll never understand,,moyes seems to be a puppet manager and the rest of the board are pulling the strings. Been a united fan and supporter for 40years and when rooneys goes i will still be a united fan and supporter.

Cristiano Ronaldo agrees new long-term contract with Real Madrid in another blow to Manchester United - reports

I think the fact that he and Real Madrid have not announced it mean it is not the case.

There would be no reason to stall the announcement

However i do not expect to see him at OT

So Ron could be coming back, Rooney still to CFC, Bale to Madrid and Suarez to Arsenal. I could see everyone staying at the same clubs there at now. Could Wenger handle Suarez, would he take all the baggage he comes with? No and IMHO I could never see him at Arsenal, its Wenger just upsetting a LFC player, who would want a player like Suarez at your club, threatened to take you to court if you don't sell him!

Jose doing the same to Rooney, I only want one player, upsetting our player who hasn't actually came out and said anything himself to where he wants to play in which club.

Bale to Madrid, will they really pay that much for him, ?100 odd million, I thought Spain's economy is ****ed, where's this money coming from?

Ronaldo, I've heard D Gill say he had the ?80 million in the bank from the deal of selling him to Madrid when he was still working at UTD, so if UTD are taking him back its money up front, If Bale is ?100 or over, how much would we have to pay for him, cash for his wage bill ( Nike might cover most of his wage for him to be in a Nike shirt)

Was Cesc a smoke screen for Ronaldo, is Suarez the same for Arsenal for him to go to Madrid, out of everyone will we end up with Cesc and Madrid with Suarez and everyone else stays at their clubs.

Time to move on i don't think so wit you,, your last 4.posts has rooney in them. You say you dont know whats happening wit rooney i don't think any of us do and then a big then
he may be forced to stay and play,, i never heard of any player being forced to play in a position he normally does not play in,, who ever we bring in and does not settle down quick enough im sure your carving knife will need sharping cos it must be blunted wit rooney. BTW if rooney stays and is asked to play in mf i think he will do as good as job as cleverely or carrick imo

Nobody said he would be forced to play, i said he may be forced to stay if we dont get anyone to replace scholes and he can do a job in that position

Just not that well

probably have a point about cleverley he is not good enough but i dont think rooney is a better midfielder than carrick although they are very different carrick can actually pass

Rooney has had his day and is only getting worse, you love him, i dont and will happily see him go i think the time is right but only if he has a replacement

Open your eyes m8, fergie had it bang on an on form Rooney will never be subbed

Last time he was on form was the season after Ronny went

[leotheloin]

Time to move on

Fellaini is looking a shoe in, Kondogbia may be worth a punt he seems cheap and is only 20, I think kagawa can play a similar game to fabregas

Not sure whats happening with Rooney now, i think he may be forced to stay if we get nobody to take the scholes role as he can drop and do a job if needed. As a club we never seem to rush signings and whilst we get a little pi55ed about it, we usually seem to find we didnt need them and continue as normal

I think Zaha will do ok although i think he will be a bit hit and miss

Dont want any panic buys last minute

According to the BS merchants Ronaldo on his way back

Now hypothetically if this were true how much is he worth for us to buy back??

My opinion is ?50-55m

He is 29 in February and probably had his best years in Madrid where he has taken his goal scoring up a level

There is talk of ?80m to buy him back, its too much

and talk of ?105m for Bale is ridiculous

Its hard being top of the charts again

We are number one in both league wins and highest average attendance in 125 years of the Football League

Englands Finest, not just in PL history

Spurs now apparantly want Modric as part of Bale deal

So maybe if Bale is going to Madrid as seems to be a certainty it could rule Modric out

However Modric has already left Spurs once would he want to go back?? It would be up to him and i think he would be open to come to us

[thered]

if it did,it would make most sense to hold onto rooney as when they played together they would lose their markers and have free rein across the pitch,it was a joy to watch them switch sides and they had an excellent rapport that rooney seems to have never found since with any other strike partner,he appeared a much less selfish player and was happy to receive equal billing with Ronaldo.i hope this is one deal that does happen.

Cant see it myself, although they are sort of similar players it would maybe be a little odd for them to play together but he keeps dropping the odd thing in the press about going back and how much he misses english football

I think its more a ploy to get a good deal, as much as id like to see it happen i just cant see it. I find it hard to believe especially with no fergie he would rather come back to OT than stay in Madrid

Think madrid may be after freeing up some dosh if bale does go to madrid which may mean modric and benzema may be up for sale and i wouldnt rule out a rooney swap as part of it

although he would probably prefer to stay here, i think the only thing spanish thing rooney appreciates is san miguel

With Bale going to Madrid, does this open the door for Ron back to UTD.

According top the rumour mill Rooney now wants to stay if he stays on the same salary

Maybe thats what was wanted in the first place

Always feel like Rooney doesnt know what he wants just his agent does

[thered]

Rooney for Bale and some dosh more like it.

Why not

Just thinking today as Bobby Charltons come out and said rooney not for sale and there are other bits doing the rounds that he wont be sold to chelsea or Arsenal that maybe Modric and Rooney swap would make sense

Obviously would depend on a few things one being Rooney himself and would he fancy it, but i think a deal would suit both clubs and they both same age although id fancy Modric to last longer
