Lets assume we get Mate this window, then Reus in the summer(maybe for Kagawa), would everyone be ok with selling one of Rooney or RVP? if so which one, if not why.

i would be ok with it but I have no idea which i'd get rid of.

Rooney/RVP
Reus Mata Januzaj

Also in the summer I would like to see us go for Vidal, Garay and Coentrao.

i can dream.

{Ed004's Note - Rooney. RVP is a better striker end of. Also Rooney will only have a year on his contract and only a matter of time before he starts to deteriorate physically again IMO}

If Rooney were to sign a new contract I'd get rid of RVP. He has a few years on Rooney and is a little more injury prone.

I think if we are to swap kagawa for anyone then it would be better if done for gundogan. He is needed more and would be brilliant alongside someone like koke or Vidal.

I have long said we should sell one of rvp or Rooney, if we do buy mata then I think it would be Rooney to go, maybe bring in a Costa or cavani to play alongside and then eventually replace rvp
Personally I think bringing in mata is a win win. Would fit into longterm plans as can play out on the left or in the hole so if we were to keep both rvp and Rooney he could easily be accommodated by moving januzaj to the right

No I would keep them both why get rid of one of your best players

True ed, but what about RVP' injuries and age?

{Ed004's Note - Hopefully they clear up now Moyes has adapted his fitness program for RVP}

I don't understand about Ed telling Rooney have few good years in him. What about Van Persie? He is 3 years older than Rooney . how many good years he possess? not more than Rooney of course. I would not get rid of Rooney and Van Persie both. We have few World Class players in our squad and some fans want to get rid of them before lots of average player we have. amazing. Its better to get rid of Young, Valencia and sadly Nani as well rather than selling Rooney

{Ed004's Note - RVP is a better professional and will look after his body. It's almost as if he is now in his peak years now as he doesn't rely on speed. His technique, movement and finishing is what make him such a world class player and they seem to be improving the more he matures. Look at the number of goals he scored last season and we didnt have much supply for him. Just imagine what he'd be like with Mata, Reus, Kagawa, Januzaj etc}

You say why get rid of your best player yet Mourinho is prepared to let a player who was the clubs player of the year the last two years go .
If it's for the good of the team and it leads to a different and better way of playing then I think it would be the right thing to do

Play Rooney in similar position as Rvp and tell him to work only as much as rvp in the field rather than sending him running all around the field helping every players . I bet he will score as much as RVP. if not more.
And about professionalism? Rooney has improved himself a lot. physically as well as in field and for so many years he was playing with average players and yet he managed to score many goals and assist .At least Rvp has Rooney to rely on whenever needed. but who was there for Rooney after Ronaldo was gone? isn't that what is called professionalism?
