Hafnia Posted January 12, 2010 Report Share Posted January 12, 2010 We aren't in the market to afford him, however with Man Utd's debt being released on news, there has been talk of Barca or Real weighing up a £80m bid to take him in the summer, especially if he stars in the world cup. I am aware that there is a sell on clause (I think it's 25% of anything over £20m - need clarifying if poss) If he was to go for £80m - that would mean a £15m pay day for us....nice. That would take the overall pay day for the club to approx £40m. This is something we need to happen... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jofanon Posted January 12, 2010 Report Share Posted January 12, 2010 or, buy him back. If Man U have to sell him it would be a disaster for them. Having to sell Ronaldo and Rooney would totally be a disaster for their image for starters. Man U - the selling club! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romey 1878 Posted January 12, 2010 Report Share Posted January 12, 2010 That would take the overall pay day for the club to approx £40m. And still £10million under the amount we were ever going to sell him for... They'd have to force him out IMO because I don't reckon he'd actually want to leave. It'd be nice to wipe £15million off our debts in one go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everton_Worshiper Posted January 13, 2010 Report Share Posted January 13, 2010 If we had the money, I would have him back in a heartbeat. We should be trying to get Nani from Man U seen as though he is on his way out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adpom Posted January 13, 2010 Report Share Posted January 13, 2010 We can only hope Man U sell him, the Glazers are Hero's an need to continue borrowing mills from Man U, Wonder if they will loan me some cash. Maybe we can loan the money off them to buy him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FairWooney Posted January 14, 2010 Report Share Posted January 14, 2010 Fuck Nani...bad attitude little Ronaldo wannabe. He's got some skills but not a complete player and I don't think him and Moyes would get on in much the same way that Ferguson and Nanin clearly don't get on. I don't see Rooney leaving unless forced to. While we all may laugh at his "dedication", he's clearly happy at the club who have given him an opportunity to play at the top level winning trophies regularly and playing with big name players which we he wasn't really getting at Everton. He doesn't strike me as the kind of player that would really enjoy get on that well playing in Spain, I think he'd get a lot of cards as he is very physical where as Ronaldo is made for the Spanish league enjoying the space and chance of a bit of twinkle toe action safe in the knowledge that if someone breathes on him he'll probably get a foul.

No im not saying that am i? fully aware of what he can do on the pitch and it would be amazing to have that in the team, what im saying is that he is a HUGE star now and most clubs would be using him in a marketing capacity as much as a playing one, but to us it would be a little difficult being stuck with Kitbag. Now Romey is saying his own rights are separate and make no difference, so yeah Dunc bring his 30 goals a season on!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Id say it was both, but if Rooney has his own deals like Mark said then it wouldn't make a difference, and lets be honest. Can you imagine Kenwright around Rooney? we all know what he was like with Moyes. Also Rooney's agent is a right snake by all accounts, they say he is the one causing the trouble with United at the moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hafnia Posted July 4, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 4, 2013 Under contract and would cost £25m for a lad who turns 28 this year. Errr if some of you questioned the logic of signing a 29 year old for £5m then seriously the only way Rooney will be back here is on a free transfer in 3 years time. In all honesty, in 3 years he will be a spent force compared to what he is now. He's not really looked after himself, he's smoked the past 8 years and his weight is a concern for me. I can see Chelsea or arsenal coming in for him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Irrelevant discussion though, as hes not coming, at least not anytime soon 3 years time, I agree he wont be anywhere near as good. We will have to wait and see.

Certainly not at the level I thought he would be after seeing him as a 17 year old though. I had him down for best player in the world within 2-3 years of his debut. He has become a less impactful player, that spark he had which gave him that unpredictability of beating 3 players like he did against Leeds was replaced with a more - drop deep and lay off and get in the box approach. He's got 2 more years left of his peak then I fear the wheels will come off. Matt and Romey 1878 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can see him being a very good AMC even when he is 30. Agree with all that though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt Posted July 4, 2013 Report Share Posted July 4, 2013 Didn't know that Rooney scored 130 goals last season. 10 times the goals doesnt mean 10 times the player I was going to say his team contribution and workload but Kone has those attributes in comparable measures (though not sure he could ping a 50yd pass onto RVPs left foot). His track record is 1 in 2 goals, so maybe 30% more of a player Lowensda 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
