Heard from a very reliable source (epl footballer) that Wayne Rooney is 100% going to Chelsea. Apparently he got it straight from the horses mouth. Not sure of fee but he'll get his 250k a week

crabstix

1.) I can't see it happening now, had we signed Lewandowski, or Falcao then maybe. It would be a blow commercially if he left, and with replacements now few and far between. Also not sure we would sell to one of our main rivals.

2.) Utter nonsense!

3.) People need to bare in mind that Chelsea are struggling to get the strikers they want so if Rooney became available it wouldn't be too surprising if Chelsea took an interest. I still think he will be either at MU or PSG next season. If we were to sign some decent midfielders this summer I wouldn't be surprised to see Rooney sold. Hernandez upfront with RvP slightly behind could really work. Especially with decent midfielders behind them and a new left winger and left back.

Sydney!

4.) That source must be real crab to think that Rooney is going to CHELSKI. I don't SEE HIM MOVING THIS SEASON IMO. you will say I said it.

5.) Listen if Chelsea want him, take him £50m min see what they say! No less then drop that money on Reus {Ed002's Note - You are living in a fantasy world.}

6.) Mr. Crabstix, chelsea fan here (in peace). What would that source be mate cause none of the Eds really believe there's a lot of interest from chelsea.
Btw, acquiring Thiago would be a nice piece of business, I think he's class

7.) Can you really see us selling one of our better players to a rival team? we aren't Arsenal!

8.) Did you say Rooney is one of our better players? I think you need to pass that joint

9.) Who would you class as "better" than Rooney then DmR. 17? (except RVP) I would say he's your best! Chelsea Fan!

10.) Have you blanked the last few years or so? Rooney HAS been one of our better players the last few years. Now of course he's behind RVP but he is still an important part of the team. How can people forget just how good he has been for us.

11.) He just called Rooney a horse I know he's big but he's not that big

12.) Your horse needs a lie test if Rooney
does go it will be abroad and not to a
Premiership rival

13.) Not doubting your source. I'm saying you're source doesn't know jack-ola.

14.) "got it from the horses mouth", with a Scouse accent. I wonder what motivates a Rooney mouth, surely it can't be brain cells?

15.) Rooney HAS to stay, no two ways about it. Still easily one of our best players and more importantly he has the fear factor that when he plays other teams get scared, whether he's on form or not, he can create something special from nothing. i. e, his overhead kick vs City.

16.) Grahem hunter has been saying this for weeks now

17.) 35 mill and they can have him. I doubt it though and the fact that no big club has shown an interest except PSG tells you he is overrated and not what many around here make him out to be.

Ed002 is a chelsea supporter and could chime in here if there is any real interest. He is the opposite of what mourinho likes in a striker

Evening all, 3 games in to the season and with a few days of the transfer window to go it's fair to say we haven't been great and that we need re-enforcements.
Having said that we started the latest match with 5 new signings on the pitch and up to the final pass played good football for large chunks of the game. The big surprise for me has been Rooney's inability to influence matches. I have no doubt that he will come good and bring plenty of goals and assists this season but you have to wonder whether he is suited to playing No.9 these days.
There is no doubt that the introduction of Schneiderlin along with the well managed, improved maturity of Chris smalling and good performances of Darmian, Blind and Shaw have given us the great platform required for our flair players to do what they do best, only they aren't sharp (or quick) enough yet to pull off the intriacate passes required to break down even the most mediocre defences using the current formation.
I think Paul Scholes' criticism on BT Sport was harsh as we are not expected to be on top form at this stage of the season and with the past 2 seasons terrible starts still so fresh in the memory the fact that we havn't conceded in the first 3 games should be commended. I even think that if Chelsea had had the same start to the season, people would be talking of Mourinho preparing his squad for a marathon not a race.
This leads me to think that the only position that requires attention this window is a new striker.
I would not want to get one of the so called European "world class" strikers that are now in their late 20's/30's and may need time to adapt to the premier league. I also don't believe that we will sign any of these "impossible" signings so late in the window as, for one thing, the selling club would not have the time to replace someone so important to the side.
I genuinely believe that LVG's track record with young players means the more game time players like Januzai and hopefully Perreira get the better equipped we will be for many years to come.
I would therefore like to put forward my case for making Lukaku our final purchase of the window. At 22 he will only get better, he suits the style of play we have adapted under LVG and he not only has experience at the top level in the premier league but has also shown the mental toughness required by starting the season well after a slightly underwhelming year last time round.

Who does everyone else think we should sign should we only be in for a number 9. (not including "fantasy" signings we've been linked with) in order to get us back in with a shout for the title.

This question is very much open to all ed's

Peace out

P.s. Love the site, even if it has driven me round the bend this summer.

{Ed001's Note - for me I think Benzema would be very good for the style of play adopted.}

Lujaku, benzema anyone for God sake. Just get a bloody decent striker.
