If u want to sell somebody according to your points. then valencia should have been first to go. then our beloved EVRA. shouod have gone 3 seasons back.
Then age old giggs and than nani.
Befor Rooney.

One can have off season.
THE PROBLEM MOST UNITED SUPPORTERS ARE HAVING WITH HIM IS THE TRANSFER REQUEST HE HAD PUT 2 SEASONS AGO.

Rodio17 - The problem is not just that, it is many problems with Rooney. The transfer request 2 years ago, turning up to pre-season overweight and struggling with it all season with no form, his touch and pace have deteriorated drastically over the last 2 years. His ego is bigger than his talent, he does not want to play for us any more and wants a huge contract when he does not deserve it at all. At the end of the day he has been a very good player for us and will be remembered for years but every dog has his day and his has gone at United. Thank him for his services get as much money as possible and replace him with a younger player who is eager to put on the United shirt and put 110% effort in.

George, I think you know and we all know that radio 17 is right on this one. Some united fans hate him because he put in the transfer request.
You say his touch has deserted him, his place has deteriorated. But he still scored 16 goals and made a load of assists playing out of position.
All the time, the other persons like nani, Anderson, cleverly, young, were quite happy to take the salary and play total dross. But they didn't hand in a transfer request because no team in their right mind will want them, simple as that.
Rooney goes up for sale and there is a queue of top clubs waiting to sign him, does that not give you and clues as to why this will be the case?
Do you honestly think that mourinho and Wenger, two of the best coaches in the world, are stupid chasing after him? I think deep down, all Rooney haters know that if he goes to Chelsea, he will be devastating.
We are finding it difficult to attract any of the top players over here, so why do we want to get rid of one so easily?

I think even those who say Rooney is declining know that he is still a dangerous player who will do well for whoever buys him (initially at least).

The problem people like me have with keeping him is that he is a disruptive influence with a big ego that surely must be, and will continue to be, damaging to the squad.

He may do well for another club, but I don't think he would be as good for us, simply because he is unhappy and unhappy players don't play at 100%.

No based on my points the players with the lowest value in our team would be Valencia Giggs and Evra not the first to go. As I'm sure people will agree as Valencia is worth 5-10m Giggs doesn't have a value (Priceless to us but doesn't make financial sense buying a 39 year old so 'worthless') and you'd get 5 mil for Evra.

A point I did forget to mention is that age also is a contributing factor.
