The reason Rooney is being labeled so cheap is due to that his wage demands are in the excess of £300,000 a week..He is on £220,000 a week at Man Utd, but with addons it goes up to £300,000.

Rumours Man Utd would take 20-25£ million for him due to the wages.

Wage bill; £300,000 for him, could get 2 David Villa's for that wage
Players; They have Welbeck; who is younger than him Hernandez; who is younger than him and RVP; who is better than him
Attitude; He has done alot of things to piss Sir Alex off in his time, notably the last time he through his toys out of the pram and refused to sign a new deal, until they offered him £220k a week and £300k with addons
Sir Alex; Guy knows when to sell players and get a nice value for them

As an out and out striker ? Every way. Rooney has other qualities that make him just as valuable though..


Like looking like Shrek
Moaning all the time
Demanding the big money like he is a world beater
Throwing his teddy's out of the pram when he gets put on the bench
Being overweight...
Not to mention what he gets up to with all that money!!

Rooney is a great player, but not irreplaceable. So if he's being a nag like Pandemona said it may be better to cash-in and get someone else. (Wilshere )

20-25 million pounds is pretty cheap though for a player of his quality

Yes, but he will only sign for you if you pay him £200,000 a week wages, which balance's out the transfer fee does it not?
I mean i doubt Chelsea would give him £200,000 a week now with our new wage structure? I can see Man City actually giving him that much, but i don't think Rooney is that stupid to go and sign for them. That leaves what PSG? As i don't think Real Madrid/ Barcelona would swoop for him?

Rooney has been the heart and talisman of Manchester united for years now, hes what makes us tick in many games. He has one poor season (where hes scored 14 in 27) after being injured at Fulham, and hes always bad after an injury. Hes statistically more productive than RVP this season, with more goals/assist per minute (granted statistics like that don't tell that much of the story, but certainly add a bit), which is actually pretty impressive when you consider hes been played out of position most of the season. His champions league performances are his best i might add, which is why i think it was strange to leave him out for half the game (i might add that he was clearly intended to be an impact sub if we hadn't got the red card and he played the first leg, not exactly the dramatic totally left out of the tie bullshit that the papers are pushing.) And the papers are quoting that not only would we sell him but at a price as low at 20 million? Are you having a laugh?

Hes developing a partnership with RVP, he looks to be the happiest hes ever been at our club. Not to mention 20 million would make him cheaper than:

Torres, Pastore, Andy Carrol, Lucas, Modric, Silva, Robinho, Hazard, Martinez,Wistel, berbatov, KaKa, Andriy Shevchenko, rio, Veron, wayne rooney 8 years ago. Just to name a few.

We even bought young for 18 million, as if we would let rooney go for anything short of 35 is insane, plus hes english, that makes him at least 40 mill, and the shirts he sells. We got RVP for 27, and that only because his club weren't challenging for anything and he wanted to go. I think people forget the 2009-2010 season when some were calling him the 3rd best player in the world, and he had a pretty epic season last season too. Hes on course to break pretty much all the united records, and a lot of the england ones too.

PS: look how angry he looks for being left out:

Definitely true and I don't think he'll be going for that little. Sure he has a big salary, but like Udderchaos said he is still a magnificent player that you can build a title winning team around. And a large amount of money United receive needs to immediately go to a successor as well.

Seriously Wilshere would be like the perfect pickup for United. They don't need a replacement for Rooney at striker/forward. They should overbid by a little for him and send a demoralizing blow to Arsenal fans by getting them to sell him.

Haha yeah, with a large enough bid Arsenal would very likely accept. Not sure if Wilshere would accept though, but you never know with footballers.

Btw: Torres is beyond crap at this point. I always figured he would still be good at a lower level of play, but at this point I'm not even sure about that.

Actually he's got a long term contract that's probably worth too much. Dunno if he's underpaid at Arsenal though with the "socialist system". Looking it up, IMO he is, like 80K per week, very, very valuable contract for Arsenal.

Alright, I need someone to explain this to me. How can ANYONE have ANY faith left in Torres? The man is fucking terrible. You could buy a 3rd rate striker for a tenth of what Torres is getting paid and he'd perform just as well. His ball handling is horrific, his passing/striking accuracy is laughable, and his speed is cringeworthy. I've seen worse duds in free agent signing in American sports, but God damn Torres gives them a run for their money. He has got to be the biggest waste of money that I've seen in a sport in quite a while. He is literally useless on the field. One ought to be more worried when he gets the ball than hopeful.
A sound mind in a sound body, is a short, but full description of a happy state in this World: he that has these two, has little more to wish for; and he that wants either of them, will be little the better for anything else.

I dunno between his transfer fee + salary, I think he gives almost any American free agent a run for their money in the worst deal ever category. Chelsea just has ridiculous margin for error in this sort of thing with their resources. I mean almost any other club in the world in any sport would be completely sunk if they made an error the size of Torres.

Dude what's up with Inter in red jerseys? What is this?

They keep saying that the stadium is finally paid off, so I don't think Arsenal need to sell players anymore. Though they'd probably sell him if United's offer was too good to refuse, cause it'd be dumb not to accept it.

I know Spurs play a high line since Lloris is so fast off his line, but why do they stay so far up the pitch even with Friedel in?

It's crazy that people talk about Torres in this way, a couple of years ago he was one of the best nowadays you can find a player like him in the Eredivisie.
