Probably get slated for this but does anyone think we should look to offload Rooney next summer. I was not a wellbeck fan but preferred him to Rooney as he offered more in attack.
I never saw the world class in Rooney as labeled by most. For me he peaked well to early.
I would like to sign cavani think him and falcao would be brilliant together up front.
Disappointed to see Chicarito going as I do think moyes ruined his confidence last year. He will score a shied load for Madrid. And they can buy him for only 16m. To think lukaku had one good season on loan to Everton then got sold for 28m.

No, I think he will play in the hole.

Just read Paul Parker's article regarding Rooney. OUCH!

Could see Rvp moving on next year due to age and injuries if Wilson manages to step up

Matas Beard, there's a reason MU got rid of so many strikers this summer. It's so we can keep the best one's. Van Persie is our best striker.

Rvp and falcao are both top players but they are both 9s both play on the shoulder and play in the same areas, make similar runs .
Neither imo are a second striker so i'm not sure there a partnership .
It would be like playing 2 andy cole's

If we are playing our strongest 11 I don't see where Rooney fits in. So I think next summer is too far away if we want to maximise, he will lose value if he plays less and he is earning a packet when we don't have CL. So I would have shipped him out this window and kept Danny - probably nobody would have took on his wages and that's partly why LVG made him captain, just my view. If you have Rooney in your squad he may as well be a happy Rooney and maybe play better if he is captain, last chance to make him shine, (doesn't seem like it has worked so far)! Maybe Jan for a CL team that need reinforcing.

We missed a trick with the £16mil for Hernandez clause, if he gets regular games his value should sky rocket as my mum could score tons of goals poaching for Madrid.

Lukaku has much more potential than Hernandez to be fair. The pea is a one trick pony and not been too great at that recently, Lukaku could be a machine in a couple of years, but Everton have still overpaid by £8mil imo.

I would like to see either Rooney or van persie sold and won't loose any sleep over it if both where sold, but they just never seem to play well together!
Its going to be very interesting to see how they both react to not being the top earner/striker in club or has money loyal Rooney got clause in his contract to keep him highest paid in club?
What do yee think of benteke as possible replacement if he recovers from his current injure?

8.) 02 Sep 2014
Falcao is our best striker

9.) 02 Sep 2014
I don't rate Benteke, very clumsy and I think he will be a trap (one season wonder). I can see Spurs going for him in Jan after he has come back from his injury.

So lvg made rooney captain because of his wages.
Did roy make him england captain because of his wages.
Come on pal last season you argued united played poor because rooney played well.
And anyone would of scored as many goals as rooney for england and united if they had played the same amount of games .
Every one has an opinion but your verging on a troll .
Rooney is on a long term contract and club captain I think people at united may have a different view to you

Rooney is a number 10 IMO so should play there. He likes to roam and he will be able to in this position. let's Falcao and RvP do what they do best and let Rooney do what he does best. That's what I think anyway. A midfield of Blind, Herrera & Di Maria backed up by an attack of Rooney, RvP & Falcao is exciting. Just need our defence to step up now.

Falcao isn't ours. He's Monaco's. So Van Persie is our best striker :-)

This season falcao is our best striker.
Falcao is a better 9 than rvp .
I read in the last 3 year falcao had 4 assists .
Im not sure that's true but he doesn't do assists he scores goals . He plays the 18 yard box, he plays on the shoulder he plays the 9 role.
Rvp best 2 seasons, 1 for arsenal 1 for united have come playing that role.
They can't both play that role imo if rvp plays with falcao he will have to change and play as a second striker.

Lvg said " when this calibre becomes available, it is an opportunity not to be missed "
And he is right . Rvp imo will play second fiddle to falcao he will have to play the second striker role .

Syd ,
If Rooneys best position is no. 10 , why did Mourinho try to buy him to be no. 9 for Chelsea?

Bilko, it would have been for one season until they got Costa. Then Rooney would have moved deeper behind Costa. Where does Rooney play for England? I expect to see RvP and Falcao playing upfront, with Rooney just behind them.
