Hi guys Sedrick again, I thought I'd keep you all updated on the latest regarding the impending transfer of Rooney to Real Madrid. Well the latest is that Real are willing to buy Rooney and loan him back to United for the remainder of the season. This comes after a tough days negotiating from Stretford and Representatives of Madrid.

Khedira isnt interested in a move to "OT" at this time.

Cheers guys, once again dont shoot the man in the know.

Sedrick. {Ed004's Note - So has the fee increased from 21 million euros or is that still the "fee"}

Ohh I get it it's like Simon says with this guy, he didn't say FACT today so this ist true today.
Can't wait for the next one!

Agree0 Disagree0

This may seem a bit harsh and if you are proven right ill appologise and never post here again.

You my friend are a liar.

To buy him and loan him back to us would make no sense at all and do you think SAF would want a player who is all ready packed and ready for Madrid at the end of the season?

Its garbage mate and you should give it up now.

To be honest Sedric you lost me at 21m euros. No matter how Rooney has been performing it would be 3 times that because of the commercial influence he brings to the club he would belong to. The way the club and he are acting recently I do believe he might be on the move this summer but this sounds a little unlikely.

What a load of BOLLOX......Thats the only truth i can see in this

Agree1 Disagree1

Why would Stretford and Madrid reps be deciding on whether Rooney is loaned back for the remainder of the season. That would be decided between United reps and Madrid reps. You need to give this up, you are making a plonker of yourself.

Sydney!

Agree0 Disagree0

What a load of crap, loan him back to United and would he be able to play in that little thing called the champions league this year? I could see him going to Madrid at some point but not in this window.

Agree0 Disagree0

Why would we have him back on loan if he signs for Madrid. We don't need him and we look better without him. Are we a small club and need him to come back in till the end of the season. Stop these dreadful rumours

Yes, expecting a second child and I hear his, Coleen an Kai's Spanish is amazing.
A perfect match!
No ed I think it's actually 21 million peseta's.
Come on, Perez has wanted Rooney for some time as he has a large fan base and is considered a galactico but it ain't going to happen, I'd be amazed if Rooney ever left the uk.

Supasub

I'm sure that this is just doing the rounds because of the impending CL game.

Same with CR.

If so it will be more than 21K Euro's.

However, I do think something has happened since the Swansea game that we aren't aware of and not just the injury.

A

Agree0 Disagree0

A, what you mean the 'mystery' injury that has baffled medical science? The scan cannot find a problem, but Rooney can still feel something. There is definitely something we are not aware of. I do not think he will be sold this month mind.

Sydney!

Agree0 Disagree0

Does sedrick work for the VIZ comic...cos he is hilarious.....

Agree0 Disagree0

Im not sure what is your definition of " man in the know ". Your post is as clueless as it is meanigless.

This is hilarious and love the replies. shahram

I'm not leaving Manchester United, I want to end my career here! I'm united through and through!

Wayne Rooney

Sedrick...what have you been taking...I bet you thought the mayan calender predictions were also true..ha ha your funny..

Agree0 Disagree0

Doesn't Rooney's contract run till 2015, seems like nothing for a player with nearly three years to run (he signed late 2010). Sorry sedric, you're defacating your keyboard as you type! In legacy we trust

Agree1 Disagree0

Why are you lot taking him on?
Hes clearly an person who didnt get cuddles as a kid so wants a bit of attention!

BABY FACED ASSASIN

Agree0 Disagree0

Sydney

What do you think has happened, a fall out with the boss, or theboss trying to put him in his place after a really bad performance against Swansea.

I agree it doesn't make sense for all parties to leave in Jan, but you do wonder if it will happen in the summer.

A

Agree0 Disagree0

The mystery illness is RVP, it occurs often when you know your not the main man anymore!

Agree0 Disagree0

There used to be an old internet saying, dont feed the troll. If nobody posts he gets bored and goes back to his trainspotting. Ignore him next time and he will go away.

DanW

If someone checks all of the other teams pages you will prob find this guy posting to his own teams fans about how much he is winding everyone on the united page up

I think Rooney will be off in the Summer - 1. Too many demands in his next contract, not worth it for border line first team player (when we have starting 11 fit, Rooney is not guaranteed a start).
2. Not the main man anymore at Utd, who have been playing below our usual staddard for far too long - part of this reason is because Rooney is meant to be the key player and so much is going through him, too inconsistent for such focus.
3. Maybe Ronaldo has told Madrid he will sign a new contract if a player like Rooney is signed - who knows, or a part/ex?
4. We have lots of talent coming through upfront, and big interest in Lewandowski.
5. Rooney is a liability when dropped deep and that is why we have players like Kagawa, Anderson, Cleverley, Powell. Rooney doesn't have the impact to lead the line and is getting more and more injury prone.
6. We will get the best price for him in the Summer, afterwards his value will decline, as I knew would happen as soon as RVP signed.

He isn't Utd through and through, you have to remember all the dross about his most recent contract negotiations - potentially joining City, holding us to ransom. Short memories, he would leave in a heartbeat if a better contract was on offer and we could agree a price. Wasn't he meant to be Everton through and through?! I dont mind players moving to better their money, most people do it in normal life - it's just the hypocracy that irks me and the short memories of fans, look at City with Tevez now, it's almost like last year didn't happen, so what if he works hard, he is paid £150k a week to work hard, same applies to Rooney but he is paid even more.

Sedrick ?? Are you sure your names not Baldrick lol?

Some of you guys on here want to lay of Fantasy Manager for a while as its clearly addling your brains ..never heard so much crap about Rooney in my life

Bilko

Agree0 Disagree0

Sween - To mention Cleverley, Powell, and Anderson in the same breath as Rooney, means you know squat about football. Cleverley is average at best, Powell is a talented kid, who may or may not make the grade and Anderson is injured for two thirds of every season. In this season, Rooney who has been injured for half the time, still has the joint highest amount of assists in the premier league, as well as chipping in with seven goals. he is clearly still the top all round player ay OT. I liked Kagawa at Dortmund, but he has yet to prove himself in the EPL
Mik

Agree1 Disagree0

Mik - I think you need to take a step back and get off the media "Rooney is a Legend" band wagon. My opinion is simply that Rooney isnt half as effective as many believe and he is more of a detrimant to the team when he plays (generally) as so much of our game goes through him and he often makes the wrong decisions and his touch is becoming awful - he still has moments and games where he looks world class, but they are few and far between, even Torres has those occasionally.

I said at the start of the season that Rooney will play second string to RVP and is getting more and more injury prone. Cleverley is looking very sharp at the minute, Anderson was looking a world beater before picking up yet another injury, Powell it's too soon, but he needs games and Kagawa has been disappointing thus far, but he is adjusting to a different type of game and culture - he will come good given a run of games as he was exceptional at Dortmund and in pre-season (where the pace is slower, like Germany).

Saying I know squat is typical of somebody who uses their eyes to read match reports by over exciteable journalists, rather than to watch the actual games. Maybe those match reports were from 3 years+ ago when Rooney was still a world class player - Stats mean next to nothing as well by the way - RVP got an assist for hitting the wall with his freekick the other day!

I bet you think we should bring in A.Cole and Lampard as well? Probably loving the fact that Giggsy is getting more and more game time - no room for sentiment in this day and age. But you are entitled to your opinion.

Sween

Agree0 Disagree0

Worse rumour ever. FACT.

Lew

Agree0 Disagree0

Sween, I watch every single United game and only read the internet and buy newspapers once a week. I trust my own judgement over any newspaper hack. Cleverly just is an average player fit for an average team like England, or Wigan or maybe Sunderland. Kagawa was top notch at Dortmund, but has looked poor to average thus far in the EPL. If you are in doubt of Rooneys effect on the team look at his stats. He's played 10 or 11 premier league game thus far this season, he has 8 assists and 7 goals. So that show it's not a case of personal bias, but fact he is pulling his weight. He can play up top, in the hole, in midfield, or even out wide.We would also probably disagree about Nani, who despite his inconsistancy, is in my opinion our best wide player by a distance. Again my argument is backed up by stats, . In the EPL era only Giggs and Rooney have more assist for United than Nani. Of course I've loved Scholes and Giggs, but feel they should have packed it in 3 years ago, if not before. I'd sell Young, Cleverley and some fringe players, raising 30m + add 35m to it and buy Wanyama, Gotze and Contreo (spelling). These would cost 17m - 30m+ - 15m. I wouldn't be intersted with Lewendowski, Strootman (though I do like him as a player) or a new GK. I'd mend what is most broken, our weak midfield. Carrick, and Rooney when he plays there are our only class central midfielders. Anderson may be OK, but has injury and stamina problems that seem beyond his control. It's odd that Rooney DDG, Nani and Carrick get a lot of stick, whilst the average Cleverley, the one footed out of form Valencia, the big eating party boy Anderson and unproven kids are subject to oodles of undeserved praise. Anyway happy new year and remember that though we differ on some points, we both agree that we want loads of success for the great Manchester United.

Ed, what do you think the chances are of us signing Lampard in the summer? It really does seem that Chelsea do not intend to offer him a new deal, and I think he would be perfect for us as we are likely to lose the experience of Giggs & Scholes in summer - he would add a nice balance to the squad.

This however must not be done at the expense of bringing in someone like Strootman.

Strootman, Lampard, Baines, Lewandowski and Zouma would be a very good two transfer windows. I think that we will end up keeping Nani (for now) and may also sign Zaha.

Just a few thoughts.

Fresh! {Ed002's Note - Lampard has plenty of offers on the table but none from Manchester United. Personally, I think he will play somewhere else for three or four years and then join MUFC - where they hold great fortieth birthday parties.}

Believable13 Unbelievable16

002, you forgot the BAZZINGA! Lol

Agree0 Disagree0

Fresh, why would you want Lampard? We have Rooney and Kagawa who plays in the advanced role, why would you want Lampard?

Sydney!

Agree0 Disagree0

Lampard is piss poor now as an overall player. Don't let the 2 goals he got against Everton fool you.

Dan

Agree0 Disagree0

Partly because of his experience but also because he is still a good player. I don't see how it would be a bad move to brong in a goalscoring central midfeilder who could perhaps play 20 games a season and come off the bench.

Edds? Do you know of any interest in Lewis holtby from united?

Heard he is out of contract in the summer any chance of us goin for him?

Munkydunc {Ed002's Note - Schalke have confirmed that they have made an offer to Lewis Holtby of a new contract but are aware that there will be interest from clubs wishing to speak to the player in January and getting him to agree a deal might be very difficult - as is proving to be the case with him likely to leave in the summer . Aston Villa has added to the previously known interest from Valencia, Spurs, Everton and Arsenal and unconfirmed rumours suggest that both Manchester United and Liverpool may also look to Holtby. Perhaps the most interesting option that he may have is Inter Milan who most definately has an interest after stepping back from any deal for their first choice midfield player. However, Inter are being advised by Di Frisco that Holtby is perhaps two years from being ready for such a move but in my view it remains a possible destination - although they are looking at Belhanda as well. There might be a chance to tempt him to sign a pre-contract in January.}

Gone to spurs...

Hi guys just wandered if anyone had heard if united had any more interest in tom ince? Or was it just usual press rubbish online they are saying hes prob going back to liverpool. I must say i like the look of him and zaha
Red dev

Believable7 Unbelievable7

I'm not sure if there is interest but I am sure he is out of contract in the summer so could possibly be quite cheap

Agree0 Disagree0

No chance, him and his dad have their hearts set on a return to liverpool apparently

yoo ED with all these rumors going on about zaha can you shed any light on the situation? {Ed002's Note - Crystal Palace will look to hold on to Zaha until the summer and if they get promoted perhaps after that too. He was to be allowed to move this past summer at the right price with Sunderland, West Ham and Reading look possible destinations. Liverpool have certainly looked at Zaha in the past but there has been strong recent interest from Arsenal and Manchester United and perhaps even interest from Spurs (as an alternate to an expensive Willian perhaps). Game time will no doubt be a factor in the short-term. Arsenal will ease of on interest if and when Walcott signs a new deal.}
